Fall and ‘winter’ (we ‘desert rats’ actually think we are cold) are rapidly approaching and that means lots of activities and ‘snowbirds’ for Scottsdale! The annual events and some newly added festivals always are enjoyable for all.
One of my favorite is the Arabian Horse show. Even though we 
do not own a horse any more, it is always fun to watch these magnificent animals compete in the various venues. Of course there are many other horse shows as well - from the quarter horse show to the Hunter Jumper Horse Show - there is always something happening at Westworld. Unfortunately our new puppy won’t qualify for the U. S. Dog Agility Cynosport Games …..maybe she could pick up a few tricks if we simply take her to watch! This fall the National Festival of the West is returning to Westworld—this annual event features Western music, film, merchandise poetry and food.

I must admit that I do 
actually enjoy watching the professional golfers at the FBR Open (formerly the Phoenix Open) as they make the game look easy and possibly worth giving golf a try myself. The Scottsdale Culinary Festival, features over 250 wineries, celebrity chefs, and live music from jazz to rock n’ roll. The outdoor event allows one to experience the taste of some of the nation’s best chefs and restaurants. Not exactly a diet affair.

For those who choose to enjoy their own exercise in this mild sunny weather; golf, hiking, biking, tennis, swimming and yes, even ice skating (if you miss the cold) are some options.
How about a Hot Air Balloon ride or a jeep tour in the desert? There are car shows, art walks, parades, rodeos, Bowl games and more the list seems endless….Life is good in Arizona!

What is a pre-inspection (seller inspection)? The pre-inspection (a visual inspection of the structure and components of a home to find items that are not performing correctly or items that are unsafe) is the same professional home inspection paid for by the seller either before or while the home is on the market. When homes are sold and bought, typically the 
You have decided to move and now have your property ready to list for sale. But, what do you do to ensure your pet is safe and not traumatized by having strangers enter your (their) home? As a avid pet lover, I understand your concerns about your “family member” pet. So, how do you make your home assessable without disrupting your lifestyle? This is always a challenge. It is best to formulate a plan for how to handle your pets while your home is being marketed. Showing with ‘special pet instructions’ may impedes a showing is a hindrance to selling the house.
