JANUARY 2025
As we usher in 2025, I find myself reflecting on the past and embracing the future. I hope everyone enjoyed a joyful Christmas season, surrounded by loved ones and warmth. For me, this time of year also marks significant change in my professional life.
After years of dedication and growth at REMAX, where I have built my entire real estate career, I am excited to announce that I am joining Long Realty Jasper Associates, an affiliate of Berkshire Hathaway. Known for its strong local presence and community focus, Long Realty aligns perfectly with my values and vision for the future. The company’s founder encapsulates this philosophy with a powerful motto: “Take care of your customer and the business will take care of you.”
While the decision to leave REMAX was not made lightly, as it has been a place of unforgettable experiences and invaluable lessons, I am filled with optimism for the opportunities that lie ahead at Long Realty Jasper Associates. Change can be daunting, but it also opens doors to new possibilities and fresh perspectives.
Today marks the official start of this exciting new chapter in my career, and I look forward to continuing to serve my clients with the dedication and passion they deserve. Here’s to new beginnings and the journey ahead!
FEBRUARY 2025
February in Scottsdale, Arizona, is a vibrant month for real estate and local activities, attracting buyers and visitors alike. The spring market heats up, showcasing a variety of properties, from luxury homes to cozy condos. Open houses and property tours allow prospective buyers to explore unique architectural styles and stunning desert landscapes.
This month also features exciting events like the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show and various art festivals, enhancing the community’s charm. With mild temperatures and an active outdoor scene, Scottsdale’s real estate market thrives alongside leisure activities.
If you’re considering buying, pay attention to interest rates, inventory levels, and home prices. A competitive market with rising prices might encourage purchases before costs rise further. For sellers, factors such as local demand and the overall economy are crucial. It could be beneficial to consult with a local real estate expert for tailored insights.
Valentine’s Day adds a romantic touch, with special dinners and events that make the city feel vibrant. Buyers can sense the community’s atmosphere, while sellers might enhance their home’s appeal with Valentine’s-themed staging to attract more interest. This season can influence market activity as people consider major decisions about their future together.
MARCH 2025
February was an exciting and transformative month for me, marking significant milestones in both my professional and community endeavors. I had the privilege of serving as an announcer at the vibrant Parada Del Sol, an experience that brought the community together in celebration.
In addition, I was proud to support homeownership rights with the PURPLE Party. Our advocacy efforts aim to keep the American Dream alive, ensuring that property rights are respected and preserved. It truly was inspiring to connect with many of our dedicated members who are passionate about these vital issues.
I also stepped into my role with Long Realty Jasper Associates, which has allowed me to engage more deeply with our community. The month culminated in a truly humbling experience as I was honored at the 2024 SAAR Annual Awards. It is always encouraging to be recognized for the hard work we put into our community and profession.
As we move into 2025, I can’t help but feel excited about what lies ahead for us here in Scottsdale, AZ. This year is already off to a busy start, and I look forward to the opportunities and challenges it will bring. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me!
APRIL 2025
As spring settles in and the mornings grow brisk, there’s something rejuvenating about hitting the trails. I absolutely love hiking season here in Arizona, where stunning landscapes and vibrant colors are just a short drive away. Whether you’re summiting a nearby peak or enjoying a peaceful walk through the desert, it’s the perfect time to reconnect with nature.
Just like hiking, navigating the real estate market requires a strong sense of direction and a keen understanding of the terrain. As your trusted real estate agent, I’m here to guide you through every step of your home-buying or selling journey, ensuring you find a path that leads to your dream home. Let’s explore the beautiful opportunities that await in our local market together!
Happy hiking and happy house hunting!
