Bullhead City Area Commercial Real Estate – Mohave Valley AZ Real Estate – 2200 E Courtwright Rd – Mini Ranch on 5.03 Acres FOR SALE

January 9, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Bullhead City Area Commercial Real Estate – Mohave Valley AZ Real Estate – 2200 E Courtwright Rd – Mini Ranch on 5.03 Acres FOR SALE

It used to be that Colorado River homes on acreage were easy to find and cheap to buy . . . then, developers came in and split up large parcels into tracts of homes, making it rare and costly to find horse property at an affordable price–if at all. When you do, expect dirt roads, water tanks, fixer uppers and civilization in the distance.

That is great for some, indeed.

But if you are looking for a Mohave Valley home that is move-in ready, on horse-zoned acreage, on a main thoroughfare between 2 Colorado River boat launches with easy access and all the conveniences . . .

THIS IS IT.

And at a GREAT price!

2200 E Courtwright Road, Mohave Valley AZ 86440 is a 1988, ground set multi-wide 1750 SF Cavco manufactured home with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths on 5.03 acres with frontage on both Courtwright and Warwick for easy, paved access to the entire property. This home has its own well, new in 2006, new AC in 2008 and electric and propane for heating, cooking etc.

Inside, a roomy and open floorplan ideal for entertaining – a large breakfast bar and informal dining and a formal dining room that could easily convert to an office, den or even a fourth bedroom.

Split bedrooms at the end of a long hallway allow privacy for guests.

There is a detached, 28 foot deep garage for toys, AND a covered 60 ft long carport for more vehicles.

The entire parcel is cleared and parklike for picnics, barbecues or . . . use your imagination.

The back patio is fenced, with additional storage and even a tiled ‘Arizona room’ for your pet!

You will LOVE relaxing on your own Arizona horse ranch, with plenty of room for lots of guests and family.

This property is offered at a very doable $189,900 with cash or conventional financing the preferred terms. This property can be financed and we have ample resources. Just ask.

Apx 10 minutes east, fisherman’s paradise Topock Marina.

Apx 10 minutes west, golf and launch at Jack Smith Park in Needles, CA. Easy access from I-40 and about a half hour’s drive to Lake Havasu.

About 20 minutes away, all the shopping, services and resorts in Bullhead City and Fort Mohave.

And about 30 minutes north, the casino resorts of Laughlin NV.

For more information, showing appointment or to get the offer process started online, give us a shout.

We love critters!

Bullhead City Real Estate – Lamenting “The One That Got Away”

May 3, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I occasionally come across consumers who are unable to get past the house that they didn’t get.

They can’t seem to get it out of their mind. They compare everything else to that one lost opportunity.

Many of them will blame their agent. Sometimes, that may be true, sadly.

But more often than not, it is because:

  • they took too long to decide, and someone else who was able to move fast snagged it
  • they made an unrealistic offer, thinking the seller was obligated to negotiate
  • it was a short sale and lost to foreclosure, or
  • the bank countered at a price they wouldn’t pay–even though they loved the house
  • they were too picky about small stuff
  • they were not playing for a win-win and the seller rejected their offer outright
  • they were looking at homes before they were ready, willing and able to buy

I understand disappointment and even heartbreak. And the last thing we ever want is a sad client!

And yeah, some things are just not fair.

But you have no choice except to move on, adjust your expectations and realize that perfect doesn’t exist except in a skewed hindsight perception.

You can’t even BUILD perfect (although you can come close and it will cost you)

If you see a home that fits 80-90% of your criteria, and you really love it, you can bet that someone out there is also eyeing it too. So take your best shot out of the gate and give a little to get a lot!

What you CAN do that is very empowering is be:

  1. prepared
  2. ready to move in an instant, and
  3. realistic about your choices, budget and the market

I don’t like the cliche, “if it’s meant to be”, either. Even if sometimes it is true.

I feel that more is within our control than outside it.

Part of that control is being willing and able to see clearly what you have to work with!

Still. like a jilted lover whose subsequent choices just never ‘measure up’ . . .

. . . if you are stuck in the “one that got away” rut . . .

don’t be surprised if you end up with nothing.

Because that kind of attitude is a self-fulfilling prophecy that will suspend and disable you.

Shake it off and work with your agent on a game plan.

Otherwise, you might just be lamenting about the ‘great agent who got away’ too.

Sometimes the most powerful magic is simply a shift in perception.

Let us help you get what you want.

The Value Of A Bullhead City Real Estate Professional

December 20, 2010 By Leave a Comment

A California broker wrote a post about how so many real estate agents are a waste of money. That got me thinking . . .

In the post and a comment, he said, “When the service becomes available that allows the owner to represent themselves in an efficient manner – THEY WILL . . . when the service I envision becomes available the owners will have access to the information they need to represent themselves efficiently and the paperwork will executed online with unusual/exceptional provisions being reviewed by Real Estate Attorneys for a fee — but these fees will end up being substantially less than the current commissions paid to Realtors.”

I tried to imagine such a service . . . and even though I was 86′d from ‘the thinking box’ a long time ago . . . I couldn’t get there.

I don’t believe that a service will EVER or CAN ever become available that replaces what agent representation provides.

No amount of facts and information, knowledge of statute, level of proficiency in completing paperwork will be able to do that.

The reason is . . .

Information is devoid of emotion.

If the real estate process was completely dispassionate, and owners could truly distance themself from

the home they built a life in . . .

the business they built from nothing . . .

the lifestyle that the piece of land where they would build their dream home on meant to them . . .

the community being relocated to–or away from . . .

the feeling of ego-gratification that comes with ‘bragging rights’ over making a great deal

the agony of buyers’ or sellers’ remorse . . .

Well then . . . maybe.

BUT THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AS LONG AS PEOPLE HAVE HEARTS, FEELINGS AND EGOS.

Until that wonderful, awful day . . . when we can take a pill that turns our brain into one big left hand side:

  • People will need to be shielded from the actions of those whose plans conflict with theirs.
  • People will need to be insulated from days of hours of minutes of seconds of pure stress when deadlines loom large and everyone’s dropping the ball.
  • People will need their heads realigned when they’re not seeing the whole picture–or the big picture.
  • They’ll need their feet replanted on the ground when they lose sight . . . or touch.
  • They will need to be reminded of the cost and value of intangibles–like opportunity. Or freedom.
  • They’ll need to be comforted when the news is very bad.
  • They’ll need a voice of reason when it’s too good to be true.
  • They’ll need help thinking through or past ‘immediate gratification’
  • They’ll need the call to action when time is the essence.
  • Or someone who knows someone who can fix things when it all hits critical mass.

Show me the computer program that can do that.

Show me a piece of paper that can do that.

We do it every day. It’s a big part of what we do.

So nah. We’re not going anywhere. And information’s been out there for DIYers for years. Didn’t replace us then and won’t now.

We’re not taking a cut in pay either–if anything, we are earning more–because people aren’t averse to paying us. What they want is their money’s worth.

And good agents deliver it.

What Is Your Definition Of Professionalism? Here’s Mine

November 24, 2010 By Leave a Comment

The lady who did my nails yesterday was delightful. She was messy, late, scattered . . .

and OMG, did she make me look fabulous.

She was a PRO.

As she spilled polish on her (well protected) table, she smiled and said, “I’m a mess. But that’s just how I roll.”

It made me think about how we define professionalism in our industry. I may measure it a bit differently than some. Perhaps not. :)

Professionalism is not how stuffy or condescending you can be to demonstrate superiority.

It’s inclusive, not exclusive.

Professionalism is relaxed and has a sense of humor because you have nothing to prove when you know what you are doing.

It’s knowing when you are in over your head and having the good sense to ask for help.

Professionalism is doing a job well for its sake.

Style isn’t enough to get by. Substance is essential.

It’s nowhere NEAR measured by who you clink glasses with at the latest Tweetup, or how many Facebook friends you have.

It can be greatly enhanced by those you know that NO ONE knows about.

It’s not who YOU are at all.

It’s what RESULTS you get that solved the problem.

Professionalism is leaving your ego out of the equation.

It’s bringing people together . . . not creating adversaries.

It’s knowing when to sidestep a pothole.

Professionalism can turn on a dime if required.

It’s how you roll.

It’s crossing the t’s and dotting the i’s–and quickly fixing what spots were missed.

It’s NOT manipulating others to do YOUR job.

It’s acknowledging the good works of others.

Professionalism is the ability to continually and instantly VALUATE everything.

Especially time.

Professionalism requires a great deal of generosity.

It’s being prepared because you anticipated the probabilities.

it’s being able to improvise because you know you couldn’t possibly anticipate them all.

It’s helping others help their clients – because it helps yours.

It’s knowing when to stay out of something that is not your concern.

When to cut someone a break . . . and when to hold their feet to the fire.

When to talk, but more importantly

when to listen.

Is professionalism akin to wisdom?

It might just be.

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

Oatman AZ Gold Mines – Bullhead City Area Real Estate – Six Patented AZ Mining Claims

May 21, 2010 By Leave a Comment

. . . Happy to report this WONDERFUL piece of Bullhead City AZ area real estate is back on the market.

. . . Historic Route 66 is the stuff of legends. Along this 2381 miles stretch, if you can imagine it, it has probably happened–or will.

Perhaps even finding GOLD. (or so they tell me!)

Route 66 from Golden Shores/Topock, through the east part of Mohave Valley AZ and the historic mining town of Oatman, AZ to Kingman, AZ is known as the “Oatman Highway.”

The Victoria Gold Mines, a 91.58 acre parcel just off Oatman Highway between Oatman and Topock/Golden Shores, AZ 86440 is currently listed at a NEW REDUCED PRICE OF $450,000

This amazing property was originally active gold mines and is comprised of six Arizona patented mining claims.

The owner procured it originally from a family of CO geologists.

This gorgeous property, apx 15 miles from the Colorado River, is part of the San Francisco Mining District and includes the Myron Z, Bill Rush, Index 4,5,6 and Index Fraction claims:

The Victoria Gold Mines are located half a mile off Route 66 and at the foot of the Black Mountains. Oatman Highway is in spots a single lane road known for treacherous hairpin turns and unsettling shoulderless edges. Originally the highway was a horse trail and motorcyclists revel in the ride–but big vehicles will be white-knuckling it, guaranteed!  (This property is off a fairly tame 2 lane stretch of the Highway . . . no worries!)

Oatman attractions include The Oatman Hotel, built in 1902, famous for Clark Gable and Carole Lombard’s honeymoon suite after their wedding in Kingman in 1939 . . . this property is apx 6 miles from that historic spot.


Oatman is also known for its population of burros (which roam freely in the nearby mountains and wander into town for treats) and staged gunfights for tourists’ entertainment.

The property has an adjacent airstrip for landing a small aircraft.

It was surveyed in 2006 by a Certified Mineral Surveyor and the markers still remain. If you look carefully, you’ll also see survey markers on adjacent parcels over 100 years old!


To find this parcel . . . Highway 95 South to Boundary Cone ~ East 11 miles to Oatman Highway ~ South (a sharp right turn) then 3.7 mi S to a dirt road on the left. Follow that dirt road appx. 1/4 mi. Road continues thru property. You will need a high clearance four wheel drive vehicle beyond the first quarter mile — better to walk it if you don’t. It’s a fun jeep ride with trails running through the property.

With its unspoiled beauty and remoteness but easy access this property is of possible interest to developers, outdoors enthusiasts and investors as well as prospectors and claim jumpers!  ;)

Want To Find An Exceptional REALTOR? Ask Their CLIENTS — NOT Their Facebook Or Twitter Friends!

May 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment

I love trolling the Internet. So many opinions bandied about.

I was playing fly on the wall and overheard an online chat about who is a good REALTOR, extolling the virtues of some big and bright online stars. But how many of them are really ‘journalists’ who practice only in theory?

Inexperienced newbies who hopped the online bandwagon 10 minutes ago?

Inactive licensees who never sold anything at all?

It occurred to me that there is really only one way to determine who truly is a experienced and efficient real estate professional.

Their satisfied customers.

Oh, don’t get me wrong. A strong online presence is a good thing. So is being a popular and social agent. It shows we play well with others–and a lot of successful closings for happy clients truly are made on the merits of the relationships between the brokers. When we get a choice, we choose to work with who we get along with, and that means more successful transactions at the end of the day.

But whether or not someone is a GREAT REALTOR?

Only our CLIENTS can say for sure.

  • They experience the level of service first hand.
  • They experience the level of care first hand.
  • They benefit from–or can be damaged by–the skill level of the broker.

Client testimonials are huge. They are gold. Platinum.

If you receive an online referral to a REALTOR, whether you are a referring agent or a consumer, you might want to ask the referring agent, “Have you actually worked with this agent?” “Do you know any of the clients this agent has served?” “Can I talk to any of them?”

The agent should be able to provide at least 3 CONSUMER contacts that, on the fly, you could drop a line and get an accurate picture of what to expect from them.

This week I will be updating my client testimonials. And if you would like to meet some of my clients, I’ll hook you up.

That’s how people will know for sure that I’m doing a good job . . .

"They Didn't Counter So I Overpaid" And Other Nonsensical Buyer Perceptions

May 15, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Public perception is a funny thing. We elect naked Emperors, uphold Size Zero as a beauty standard and buy more than we can afford to pay because we think we can instantly turn a profit without breaking a sweat.

The things I hear from people are just baffling sometimes.

Here are some of my favorite consumer real estate perceptions:

  • “They didn’t counter so I overpaid.” Overheard in Trulia Voices this past week. Buyer felt she overpaid because the seller didn’t counter. Upon (pro) inspecting the property, in addition to some valid habitability issues (such as roof) this buyer ‘discovered’ that the property also needed paint and flooring–and wanted to cancel the transaction and put in a new offer, knocking off a few thousand for those items.

BUT BUT BUT: Didn’t you view the property prior to purchase? Could the property have been priced fairly to begin with, taking the condition into account? Could the seller have felt your offer was fair, and being serious about selling, did not feel the need to counter? Do you understand that paint and flooring are cosmetic items? Do you really think the seller should pay for you to redecorate?

  • “Making an offer on an unlisted property is asking for a beating price-wise.” The very educated person who made this statement shocked me. He felt that if an owner doesn’t have a property listed, it’s not for sale–and to make an offer on such a property could never result in a favorable deal for the buyer.

BUT BUT BUT: Do you KNOW the owner’s story? Might the owner not even remember they own the property? (This happens ALL THE TIME in resort areas–the reminder comes 2x/year at tax time but otherwise, it’s collecting dust. Land particularly.) Might the owner have tax or abatement liens on the property he can’t afford to pay? Could the owner actually be in need of some additional cash? Might the owner not know the true value of the property? Perhaps they know and are aware of the market, and see the offer as nothing short of a miracle anyway. The owner may have wanted to sell the property but never got around to hiring a REALTOR to help. Everything’s negotiable, and a win-win is not that hard to bring about in most cases.

  • “I know there’s not much for you (the REALTOR) in this.” This statement was made by someone who wanted to make an offer to lease-option a property. We hear this also from people wanting to make ‘small deals’.

BUT BUT BUT: We will either accept or not accept a client based on a number of factors, but price/commission dollar amount is not usually anywhere near the top. (Saleability and client cooperation are!) A lease-purchase takes longer to close, but the commissions on a sale on a listed property were agreed to when the property was listed. An erroneous public perception that we’re all in it for a quick buck. If that were only true! Real estate at its best is not ‘in the moment’ but a long process. If the deal is good for our clients, it’s good for us. If we are doing it right, YOU will be our CLIENT longer than THIS will be a TRANSACTION.

  • “That’s listed way over market/that’s not what the comps say.” I heard this a couple of days ago when a prospect called on a property that I have listed at HALF of land value according to the active, pending and closed sales in our Regional MLS. When I asked what comps the caller used and from where…duhhhh…well that’s just something he ‘heard somewhere’.

BUT BUT BUT: I would be happy to provide you with the same comps I used to set the price AND a copy of the disclosure where the seller told me to list it low to SELL IT. Zillow, Trulia and RealtyTrac are NOT always current or accurate and do not account for many of the intricacies that a local market expert would know.

~~~~~

Before you make a move or adopt a mindset, it might be a good move to ASK and REVIEW the CURRENT documentation.

Happy to help…with the FACTS…

Bullhead City Arizona Real Estate ~ At The Rotary Park Boat Launch

May 8, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Rotary Park, located at Riverview and Lakeside in Bullhead City AZ 86442 has one of the best public boat launches in Bullhead City, as well as a public playground, baseball diamonds, football field, even a cool skate park!

Rotary2 (2)

There is a Bullhead City Police Station on the grounds as well, so you have beauty, safety and lots of fun all in one place!

Rotary2

The beauty of Arizona’s Colorado River is so easily taken in here. I love to bring Lunapup down to hang out at the park, or do the Veterans Memorial Walk which is about 1.5 miles total. Great exercise for human and pooch!

skateboardpark

As often as possible, we head over to the park, I put Luna on a 20 foot horse lead so she can tool around and I still have her tethered to me. Then I can make calls or check e-mails or just gel.

Today it is sunny and crisp…with lots of ducks and birds and other dogs waiting for Luna to catch up…

Bullhead City Arizona 86442 Commercial Real Estate ~ Drive Thru Donations

May 3, 2010 By Leave a Comment

We’re having a blast (okay, I’m having a blast–the spousal’s not terribly amused) cleaning out the ‘Man Cave’ and eBaying some of the items, donating others to charity. Remember, when you clear a space for the Universe to fill, it will–with something better!

So off I go to our brand new Goodwill Industries building at Highway 95 near the corner of Newberry. My first visit to the neat new building. I pull into the back where I figure there’s a drop box for donations…

And I spot this sign:

Donation Drive Thru. Now how COOL is THAT!

I swing thru, following the arrows, and into a drive-up lane where a smiling and friendly young man greets me, accepts the stereo receiver and car stereo we’d upgraded out of, hands me a receipt with a discount coupon and bids me a great weekend.

Ooh boy! The Man Cave is about to undergo a major transformation!

Hope the Man is on board with it . . .
