I’m on top of the ever-changing inventory and market conditions which allow me to properly assess the needs of my clients. I am available, as well as accountable, during every transaction, especially the more challenging ones. I love my job and my clients benefit from my enthusiasm!

Will My Realtor Be an Effective Communicator? I connect with my sellers at least once a week with helpful feedback, support and updates in market conditions. My buyers receive constant updates when new listings are available and guidance through the contract timelines and transaction process. I am proactive to ensure a stress-free closing for my clients.

Will My Realtor Be Professional? As a Top Producer with Realty Executives, I negotiate and work with fellow Top Producers in the industry on a daily basis. I maintain a high standard of ethics and professionalism. As your representative, I have a fiduciary duty to you that requires honesty, disclosure and confidentiality.

Protect Your Home From The Sun’s Intense Rays Arizona homeowners know the benefits of year-round sunshine, but the intense desert heat can limit time spent on outdoor patios, increase A/C bills, wreak havoc on skin, and even fade carpeting and furniture. However, retractable awnings and solar sun screens can be the solution.

“In the past four years we’ve seen exceptional growth in the industry,” says Jonathan Hershberg, president of Sunsetter products, the largest manufacturer of retractable awnings in the U.S. “Part of it is an increased awareness of the danger of ultraviolet rays, and part is the comfort and convenience factors.”

Retractable awnings not only enhance your home’s exterior, but also expand living space – adding value to the home without the high cost of construction. Where patio umbrellas might only cover 10 feet, a retractable awning can cover up to 20 feet.

“A retractable awning is the perfect addition to an existing patio cover where you just need a little more shade,” says Stacie Peters of Awnings By Design in Scottsdale, “and good for the homeowner who has a small backyard and does not want to take up space with posts that a traditional patio cover may require.”

Retractable awnings and solar sun screens are also environmentally conscious. Temperatures underneath awnings can be as much as 20 degrees cooler; sun screens can block out up to 90% of solar heat rays and reduce UV rays by 95%. Unlike interior window treatments such as blinds or drapes that block the sun’s heat after it has entered your home, solar sun screens stop and dissipate the sun’s heat and glare before it can reach your window. With awnings and sun screens, air conditioning costs will be greatly reduced, carpets and furniture won’t fade and children and rooms will be safer and more comfortable. Retractable sun screens can provide daytime privacy from the outside. They can even completely darken a room. Yet both awnings and sunscreens can retract when you choose, allowing a clear view of the outside.

With all of the benefits, it’s a wonder why more Valley homes don’t have retractable awnings and sunscreens. One reason, however, might be the misconception that they’re too expensive.

But, if you factor in the savings and benefits, the cost can be reasonable. Retractable awnings start at $1,500; solar sun screens can be as low as $600 for a standard 4 x 5 window.

Professional installation for both is recommended. Awnings come in many sizes, whereas solar sun screens are custom-fitted for the homeowner’s windows. Both have models that are motorized or can be manually operated.

Manually operated retractable awnings can provide extra stability for wind due to support arms that can be angled back against the house or set vertically on the deck or patio. Motorized awnings have no vertical supports, but lateral arms that create an unobstructed shaded area.

An optional wind sensor would retract the awning when there are gusts of wind. Motorized models are also more convenient, operating by either a wall switch or remote control.

When choosing an awning, make sure the fabric is water-repellent, fade-proof, mildew and mold-resistant and will block out at least 95% of UV rays. The frame should be lightweight and reliable. Awnings with dual stainless steel cables for the lateral arm are superior to those with one cable or with a chain design.

Homeowners should also be aware of manufacturer warranties on awnings and storm damage protection. “Our fabric for awnings comes with a 10-year warranty,” says Peters. “The motors we use have an 8-year warranty and are the best in the industry.”

By summer’s end, retractable awnings and sun screens do not have to be taken down – only retracted. They can be removed and taken with you if you purchase a new home, or kept as value-adding features when it’s time to sell.

Your Home

The economy got you down? Why not do something nice for someone to lift their spirits – and in turn, give your own mood a boost. The secret to random acts of kindness is recognizing someone else’s need and quietly filling that need without looking for recognition and without making a big deal out of it. Need some inspiration? NFL quarterback Kurt Warner recently revealed on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” how his family spreads good energy when dining out. Warner lets his kids pick a family at random at a restaurant and then the Warners anonymously pick up the dinner tab. Even if you’re not feeling as flush as our favorite football star, try some of these less pricey random acts of kindness. Some won’t even cost you a dime!

• Talk to strangers. Whether it’s friendly chit-chat with a sales clerk at the department store or a genuine smile and hello to a fellow shopper at the food store, simple gestures of kindness will leave both parties feeling a little bit better about their day. You never know, your kindness might even be a highlight of both your days.

• Be a drive-thru hero. After getting your order, pick up the bill for the car behind you. Imagine how surprised and happy the person behind you will be. Or, if you’re paying for parking at an event, go ahead and pay for the car entering behind you too!

• Make friends on Facebook. Whether you’re a Facebook.com expert or newbie, why not connect with old friends and share some good vibes? Find pictures of an old friend who looks great? Tell them!

Impressed by a pal’s solid resume? Let them know.

• Go for a hike and clean up along the way.

Enjoy the great outdoors and while you’re at it, pick up any trash left on the trail. It’ll make you (and your kids if they come along) feel good and

will pass on happy feelings to any other nature lovers who see you in the act.

• Be a super neighbor. If an elderly couple lives next door, bring in their recycling and trash bins for them. Or if a neighbor just recently had a baby, drop off a prepared meal or offer to babysit their other children to give the parents some down time. Instead of just recycling your newspaper, drop it on the doorstep of a neighbor who you know might enjoy it. Same goes for magazines. These little gestures build good will and foster a sense of community, especially helpful during hard economic times.

• Forget about road rage. Don’t be one of those angry drivers! Instead, make someone’s day by letting them merge in front of you rather than whizzing right past. Or smile to a driver or passenger in the car next to you at a stoplight. You’ll be surprised how just a little friendliness on the road spreads to other drivers – and how good it feels to get a smile and a wave back.

• Let someone go ahead of you. Who doesn’t hate to stand in a long line, especially when you’re in a hurry? Next time you see someone behind you who’s clearly in a rush, let them go ahead of you. It’s just a little gesture, but it’s sure to be appreciated. Same goes for someone behind you that only has a few items to purchase when your cart is full. Think “good karma.”

• Get the kids involved. Have your children or grandchildren be part of your random acts of

kindness. Maybe you’re taking the kids to a theme park or arcade. If so, load your children up with tokens and have them hand the coins out to other kids, then enjoy all the smiles and screams of delight.

Maybe your kids can even use their own piggy bank change to purchase half the tokens. Or have your kids pack up some old toys, clothes, and books and bring them to a local charity, hospital, or homeless shelter. After all, it’s never too early to learn how good it feels to share and give to others. Now’s also a good time to remind them that good things often happen to good people. Just look at Kurt Warner!
