Vacationing At The Colorado River ~ Bullhead City, Fort Mohave, Mohave Valley AZ

May 10, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Spring is here and Summer is coming fast! And Summer in Bullhead City, Fort Mohave and Mohave Valley, AZ is when it really rocks to live here along the Beautiful Colorado River.

We are a resort area and have visitors and vacationers all year round, but there are two particular ‘on seasons’ for our Colorado River towns: Snowbird Fall/Winter and River Rat Spring/Summer.

And River Rat Spring/Summer is upon us.

Are you heading this way, perhaps to buy property in Bullhead City, Fort Mohave or Mohave Valley, AZ?

Planning to spend time vacationing at the Colorado River?

Here’s what you need to know, do and remember:

  • WATER. It is more essential than EVER. Bring plenty of it, drink lots of it, keep it cold.
  • COMPS CARD. If you’re going to be staying in one of our local casino resort hotels, get a player’s club card. The perks are worth it.
  • SUNSCREEN. Even if the sun isn’t shining, you will need skin protection. Especially if you don’t have a ‘base coat’.
  • LAYER clothing. Temperatures can change quickly.
  • CAR SEAT COVERS. You will not like the feel of hot leather seats on your skin.
  • HATS, SUNGLASSES are important. This may be brighter sun than you’re used to.
  • RULES OF THE ROAD. We have photo enforcement. And we are a ZERO tolerance state for DUI drivers.
  • BOAT SAFELY. Every year we lose tourists who neglect boating safety rules and end up hurt, killed or incarcerated. Don’t be one of them.
  • RULES OF ENGAGEMENT. We are friendly and courteous. But we have a short tolerance for disrespect. Give it to get it.
  • TIPPING. This is a ‘right to work state’ with low wages. Tips and gratuities are what pay bills and feed families around here. I’m not saying tip bad service but please tip good service, and tip well for great service.
  • CASINO COURTESY. If you see a player’s club card in a machine and an upside down coin cup on the seat, THAT SEAT IS TAKEN. Change machines have replaced many change people, unfortunately. So players need to leave their machine to go for change. Don’t take their machine. Keep the aisles clear. And be a courteous smoker.
  • PICK UP YOUR TRASH. This should be a no-brainer but the River is NOT the place for your cans or wrappers.
  • PETS. Do NOT leave them in cars while you shop or gamble! They will be hurt or killed. And please pick up after them.
  • GET A MAP. I’ll mail you one if you like. Just ask.

BE SAFE AND HAVE FUN!

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 2 Comments

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 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 mini-ranch, with plenty of room for lots of guests and family.

This property is offered at a market-realistic, affordable 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, Fort Mohave, Mohave Valley AZ Commercial Land – Are Commercial Real Estate Investors ‘Diggin’ Land Again?

August 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Bullhead City, Fort Mohave, Mohave Valley AZ Commercial Land – Are Commercial Real Estate Investors ‘Diggin’ Land Again?

Marcus and Millichap’s 2011 Executive Summary indicated second-tier recovery in the Phoenix commercial real estate market by year’s end. That’s also good news for commercial real estate in Bullhead City, Fort Mohave and Mohave Valley, as Mohave County has historically trailed the Phoenix market by six months or so.

 

The CCIM Institute’s Commercial Investment Real Estate Magazine’s July/August 2011 edition had a great article about how savvy commercial real estate investors are getting into land purchases now, while prices are at rock-bottom and there are deals to be made.

 

In the article, a chart shows a 3 year negative trend in land purchases 2.5m + is appearing to reverse.

Might we have seen the bottom?

It’s worth perusing for Arizona real estate investors sifting through opportunities.

If you have cash (financing is tough), take a look at our commercial land on the Colorado River.

The prices are amazing . . . and most of our offerings are available with seller terms to further leverage your investment.

Here’s what’s currently available.

 

Give us a shout or drop a line if you’d like more info or assistance.

Arizona Short Sale Seller's Advisory – Courtesy of the Arizona Association Of REALTORS

May 9, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Every other day we hear from someone wanting us to help demystify Arizona Short Sales. And although we do not specialize in or seek this type of transaction, we explain as best we can from our experiences and knowledge. (I was educated by, and have had my hand held through my first short sale transactions by a broker with hundreds of successful short sales to her credit.) There’s no way an agent can really confidently navigate this type of transaction without training — and an experienced mentor on speed dial!

Arizona homeowners considering a short sale transaction should ALWAYS consult legal counsel as to the tax and legal consequences of such a serious decision before proceeding with the short sale of their property.

The Arizona Association Of REALTORS has had a Buyer’s Advisory for many years, and it is an awesome resource for buyers.

Now, AAR has compiled and issued a Short Sale Seller’s Advisory to help inform Arizona homeowners considering going the short sale route.

It’s short, concise and a solid resource.

Arizona agents can now use this to augment their counseling of their short sale seller clients.

We will take all the education resources we can get!

For more info on AAR Advisories and such, go to AAR Online.

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…

Take Your Best Shot Outta The Gate – You're Not Guaranteed A Second One!

May 6, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Multiple offers can be as frustrating for a listing agent (at least, this one) as waiting and working for ONE offer. And the fact that the public, and many of the agents don’t know exactly how to deal with them makes it even more labor- and time-intensive.

Remember that the seller doesn’t HAVE to respond to ANY offer. It’s not good practice to ignore offers, but there is no obligation to respond. If the ‘drop dead’ date comes and goes, the offer is dead.

We always let people know (public and agents) if other offers are in process of negotiation . . . (note that the REALTOR COE calls for disclosure of ACCEPTED offers), and tell you off the bat that other offers are in so TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT NOW.

So if you know another offer–or two–or ten–is in, why make a weak offer with the expectation that the seller will counter? That is risky.

If there is already a better offer in, chances are IT will be the first, if not the only one countered.

And a low offer–OR one that does not echo the seller’s requested minimum terms–might be viewed as less than serious when there are better offers in.

TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT AS SOON AS THAT TARGET IS IN YOUR SIGHTS, IF YOU WANT TO ACTUALLY HIT IT.

Investors playing the ‘law of averages game’ are operating on the premise that if you throw 10 lowballs at 10 sellers, there’s a chance that one will stick.

That is not who this post is directed at.

For the buyers who truly want a property–and lose their shot because they are playing an investor’s game with an owner-occupant’s set of needs and emotions . . . I wish they had been more sensible.

I had a situation recently where an offer on one of my listings, one of two, was outright rejected for a better offer. The offer made was a fairly weak one, even after told that an attractive offer was in. (Neither buyer was via my office, FYI.)

When I broke the news to the weaker offeror’s agent that the seller rode the more attractive offer to execution, the response was. “Why didn’t you counter us? We WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU THE SAME THING!”

Why didn’t you just do that in the first place?

When the seller was asked, “DO YOU want to counter this offer with similar terms or ask for a best/highest/final from both parties” , his response was,

“Nahhh . . . they probably can’t do it or they would have offered to–and besides, this other one is ready to go.”

And if you know a better offer than you were going to make was just rejected . . . by a BANK . . . and you STILL want to lowball yours . . . let me feel your forehead. Are you running a fever?

I was told by a bank’s agent that X amount was the last offer that was rejected (and we all know how they arbitrarily respond), which I conveyed to the buyer. In response, he make an offer 10% below it and said “Tell them to take if or leave it.”

Guess what happened next? Duh! They left it.

I think this happens because the public distrusts what we are telling them.

Problem is, we can only go on what we are told, too. There is a point where you have to take on faith what you are told.

Don’t kill the messenger! But please listen to the message:

Unless you’re an investor (a REAL one, with a calculator for a brain and a steel spine, and no attachment to the outcome or a particular property) . . .

. . . the more weak offers you make, the more failures, the less enjoyment you’ll get from a process that should by all rights be exciting and fun.

Why put yourself through it?

Look at the comps, make a tight offer and get the property!

Sushi Bars in Bullhead City, AZ ~ Maki Sushi, 1970 Hwy 95, BHC 86442

May 3, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Sushi is one of my healthiest guilty pleasures. :)

When we moved here from Los Angeles in the early 90s, I went through severe sushi withdrawals. This is a casino town with steakhouses, fast food and the omnipresent buffets.

Sushi bars and Indian food were what I missed the most.

In recent years, we did get a couple of good (and good is key) sushi bars in Bullhead City and Laughlin. Here’s one:

Maki Sushi

1970 Highway 95
Bullhead City, AZ 86442-6751
(928) 763-2522

Maki Sushi is on the Bullhead City side of the Colorado River, located in the heart of town on Highway 95 between Baseline and Palma, across from Hastings Books and Palace Jewelry.

I love the koi pond with waterfall inside (near the register, of course — good Feng Shui), the samurai swords on the walls and the live orchids. The service is great and the wait staff actually pretty entertaining. The sushi bar artist is an AZ Cardinals fan and the game WILL be on one of the big screen TVs inside. You’ll hear him laughing gleefully when his team scores, while he creates your edible art.

They have a great selection of sushi, sashimi, tempura and even some Western dishes. My husband, who grew up in Florida, had enough seafood in his youth to not prefer it–he loves the Beef Teriyaki which works for those too squeamish to, or for whatever reason unable to consume raw fish. I’ll have yours! :)

We’re still hoping for Indian cuisine to arrive. Perhaps you should buy one of these great  Bullhead City commercial sites and locate your restaurant here! Tandoori Chicken, Curried Chickpeas, Raita and Naan would work for me big time!

MMMMM!

Arizona Real Estate ~ The Scariest “M” Word In Real Estate Is NOT Mold…

May 3, 2010 By Leave a Comment

…it’s Meth.

Mold is icky, that’s for sure. But while mold is a naturally occurring substance and fairly easily remediated, it takes a bit more doing to clear the chemicals used in ‘cooking speed’.

The police will tell you meth is prevalent in large and small towns. Arizona is no exception.

A property where meth has been cooked, the powerful, airborne and potentially lethal chemical toxins allowed to permeate walls, floors and insulation…

…if the place didn’t blow up due to an errant smoker or electrical spark…

can be the ugly gift that keeps on giving.

To you, your buyer, your seller, your tenants, real estate brokers and their clients.

As of July 1, 2003, AZ Revised Statutes required full disclosure to prospective buyers if a property has been used to manufacture meth, ecstasy or LSD. They are also required to hire a drug laboratory site remediation firm that is registered with the State Board of Technical Registration to remediate the property of residual contamination.

Until the site is properly cleaned, it is unlawful for any person other than the owner, landlord or manager to enter the property.

Clean-up requirements and an approved list of drug remediation firms can be found at the Arizona State Board of Technical Registration. The owner is liable for the costs incurred to remediate the property of residual contamination, even if the owner had no knowledge of the criminal activity at the property.

In areas of high contamination, generally all porous materials such as carpet, bedding, upholstered furniture and related items will be removed and disposed of. All stained materials from the laboratory operations, including sheet rock, wood furniture, wood flooring and tile flooring, will be removed and disposed. In areas not highly suggestive of contamination, all materials will be cleaned to meet the post remediation testing requirements. Owners can expect the costs of remediation for minimal damage to range from $500 to $5,000. More extensive damage can cost well over $10,000.

If you go to the AZBTR, you’ll be able to see a list of seized, but as yet unremediated ‘cook houses’.

Fortunately, Bullhead City 86442, Fort Mohave 86426 and Mohave Valley 86440, AZ properties have not appeared on recent lists.

What I find troubling, though, if you peruse the public list, is that many apartment and condo unit addresses are listed.

Do the homeowners just beyond those common walls  — and the building owners — realize they are also at risk?

Mohave County Environmental Health is a good starting resource if you need assistance with meth lab remediation.

More info via Arizona Association of REALTORS on this topic can be found HERE.

Also, some home warranty companies have additional coverage for remediation. Ask around before you select a policy.

Google Me!

Deals That Make Sense.
