Our Reputation Speaks For Itself...

As soon as we met Kellie, we knew that she was the right Realtor to help us sell our home. Her and her team don’t just talk a good game...they execute! If you are looking for a Realtor who will work harder than anyone to sell your home for the right price, a team that will follow through on every little detail until closing--you MUST hire the team of Kellie Rutherford and Jeff Graver! You will be so happy that you did!

—Randy & Teresa

We have had the pleasure of working with Jeff and Kelli on several transactions. Their 100% attention to detail and resolution was above and beyond! Jeff and Kellie far exceeded our expectations and made our dreams come true. I HIGHLY recommend them for your real estate needs.

—Sean and Jeanene

We would highly recommend Kellie Rutherford if you are searching for a home in the Prescott area. She’s very thorough, knowledgeable and most importantly an honest person with integrity. Kellie’s main concern is her clients and being there for them. She made our wish to move happen. It was a smooth transaction completed in a timely manner. Kellie is your person if you want an experienced, ethical realtor. We would not hesitate to use her services again!

Northern Arizona Wranglers

Prescott Valley’s Northern Arizona Wranglers won a thrilling Western Conference Final showdown against the Arizona Rattlers on July 31, advancing to the Indoor Football League’s (IFL) championship game. The 52-51 victory came out of a hardfought game against the Phoenix team on its home turf at Footprint Center, which was tied at 14 each 15 minutes into the game and left the Wranglers at a 38-24 deficit at the half. Chopping the Rattlers’ lead to 7 by the end of the third quarter, the Wranglers exploded in the final lap with two touchdowns, an extra point and an incredible end-zone interception by Trae Meadows. The Wranglers went on to win the IFL championship Aug. 13 in Las Vegas against the Quad City Steamrollers 47-45 in another hard-fought game, bringing the trophy home to the Findlay Toyota Center.

Rosa’s Pizzeria

A

slice of Sicily in northern Arizona

Domenic and Rosa Anzelmo opened the doors of one of Prescott’s most-celebrated family restaurants, Rosa’s Pizzeria, in 2011. The pizzeria pays homage to the family’s deep Mediterranean roots offering authentic, homemade Sicilian and Southern-Italian recipes along with traditional New York-style pizza. Complete with a full bar, the interior offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with rustic brick walls, buffalo-plaid tabletops and vintage art pieces.

After almost a decade of successful operation, local restauranteur Skyler Reeves of Vivili Hospitality Group took ownership of the restaurant in 2018 under the one condition that he carried on the Anzelmo’s legacy by not a changing a thing.

In 2021, Vivili marked its first market expansion by opening a new location of the iconic restaurant in Prescott Valley. Rosa’s Pizzeria is open daily for lunch and dinner. For more, visit www.rosaspizzeria.com.

Do you have questions regarding Medicare?

Do you need help understanding the Medicare process?

Medicare can be difficult to understand, especially if you are just beginning the process. You might be receiving large amounts of mailers and letters regarding your options, and it can be complicated to navigate through. But that’s what we do- we help you quickly understand, and make the right choices. There is never a cost for our advice, and there is no obligation to enroll. Our job is to help you understand, and earn your trust so when you do need a plan, you feel confident working with us!

When it comes to Medicare plans, one size does not fit all. Let us help you make a confident decision.

We are licensed Medicare plan specialists, locally focused in Yavapai County since 2007. We help educate our clients by answering their questions and providing clarity. We can be as in depth or as concise as you’d like to be, and we are happy to meet in person or by phone. We know ALL the plans in Arizona, and can help you select the right one this year, as well as help you year after year.

JOHN’S A ROCK STAR IN REAL ESTATE.

“When I decided to sell my home in Prescott Lakes, I chose realtor John Murphy. It was a great decision!

John was helpful at every facet of selling my home. He assisted in preparing my home to be shown in a first-class manner. He immediately had an open house and sold my home in one day, surpassing my expectations in every way. John was on top of his game and truly made the process a pleasure.”

Michael Somma – Prescott Lakes

PROFESSIONAL, CARING AND RELENTLESS!

“We had the good fortune to have John help us liquidate 3 of our properties. John is the kind of person who you can trust to do the right thing. He and his team made sure every aspect of each transaction was done quickly, correctly and smoothly.

We had amazing results thanks to his hard work and proactive work ethic! Bravo John! John makes the process simple, fun and successful. We highly recommend him.”

Quad Cities Median Sales Price continues upward trend

Prescott, AZ – The median home sales price in the Quad Cities region rose once again in July, according to the housing market report released by the Prescott Area Association of REALTORS® (PAAR). The Quad Cities region’s median home sales price was $470,100 in July. The 348 closed regional home sales during the same month represents a 17.1% decline from the same time last year.

Dewey-Humboldt led the Quad Cities with an 18.5% increase in median selling price during July, reaching $467,500. Prescott’s median sales price grew from this time last year by 13.4% last month, reaching $612,420.

“Quad Cities REALTORS® are encouraged to see more opportunities

for buyers in the housing market as inventory increases,” said George Beitzel, 2022 PAAR President.

“Looking ahead, the current moderation in mortgage rates may bring more buyers back to the market as they try to take advantage of low rates,” Beitzel added. “As buyers and sellers navigate ongoing economic changes and fluctuating mortgage rates, REALTORS® can help them successfully reach the closing table.”

Prescott Valley had a median price increase of 6.4% compared to a year ago, reaching $425,000 at the end of the month of July. The 94 closed home sales represent a 16.8% decrease compared to the same month in 2021. The median sales price in Chino Valley held steady at

$390,000, with 39 homes sold in July.

The 1,101 homes listed for sale in the Quad Cities region at the end of July reflect a doubling of available homes since this time last year.
