The Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is a natural wonder of the world and is a must-see for any traveler or Arizonan. The Grand Canyon is an unforgettable sight with its vast expanses and stunning colors.
The Grand Canyon is located in northern Arizona and offers two rims. The North Rim is typically open from mid-May to mid-October due to its higher elevation and snowier climate. The South Rim is open all year round and offers visitor services such as restaurants, lodging, and a grocery store. Entrance costs $35 per vehicle or $20 for individuals that are biking, walking, rafting, or taking the bus in. Admission to Grand Canyon National Park is for seven days and includes both the North and South Rim.
The best way to see the canyon is to stop at all the viewpoints and take in the views. There is something incredible to see at every turn.
Horseshoe Bend
Another natural wonder, Horseshoe Bend, is a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River through northern Arizona canyons. The view from the top is simply breathtaking. The winding river below and the surrounding red rocks make for an unforgettable sight.

Today’s Market Requires the Right Agent
by Nick Malouff
Why the right REALTOR is critical for home selling or buying success – especially in a hot seller’s market.
When the real estate market reaches the red-hot levels we’ve experienced over the last few years, it’s safe to say that most homes will sell quickly. However, does that mean you don’t need a highly qualified agent to help navigate the complexities?
The high demand for property in this market has actually made selling or buying a house more complicated than ever! It’s impossible to cover all of the complexities here, but the following is a snapshot of what sellers and buyers are up against in today’s real estate market.
Counter Offers In our market, it’s not uncommon for a seller to receive multiple purchase offers right out of the gate. A seller cannot respond to multiple offers by sending a simple counter offer to each offer without creating a potential legal issue. If more than one buyer accepts the counter, each would have a legally binding contract, but the seller would not be able to sell the property to more than one buyer.
One strategy for handling a multiple buyer offer situation is for the seller to respond to several buyer offers simultaneously using a “Multiple Counter Offer” to some or all of the potential buyers.
Responding to a Multiple Counter Offer If the seller receives one or more responses to a multiple counter offer (either accepting it, or in turn countering it), the seller must accept and sign one buyer response in order to make the contract ratified. But what if all the buyers sign the Multiple Counter Offer? If a buyer simply accepts the Multiple Counter Offer, that does not mean the buyer has a valid contract. The seller also has to accept the buyer’s acceptance of the Multiple Counter Offer.
Once the purchase contract has been signed by both seller and buyer, neither can arbitrarily decide to cancel it. However, until the Multiple Counter Offer is ratified by both buyer and seller, the seller can accept an offer from a completely new party.
Responding to Multiple Offers The seller and his or her agent must weigh the advantages and risks of each approach. Sending a Multiple Counter Offer effectively cancels the offers that were originally sent by the buyers. However, it also clearly announces that several offers are being considered. The buyers could respond in a multitude of ways; they may be motivated to improve their offer, they may decide to resubmit their original offer, or they may decide they don’t want to get in a bidding war and not respond at all.
A seller’s agent may decide to discuss each situation with the buyer’s agent to gain a better understanding of the situation for each buyer which could help the seller make a more informed decision. The value of a smart agent in these situations is hard to overstate. The wrong decisions could be very costly for both seller and buyer!
Multiple Options for Multiple Counter Offers Just as each of the buyer offers submitted probably have different terms and prices, the multiple counter offer may have different terms and prices for each of the buyer offers. The seller may like the contingencies (or lack of contingencies) in one of the offers, but not the price. Conversely, the seller may like the price but not the contingencies. Even though it is a simultaneous offer made to several potential buyers, responding with different terms makes each buyer more likely to accept the multiple counter offer.
One seller strategy is to respond with different multiple counter offer terms, trying to get the best terms while also trying to play it relatively safe. The seller could respond to one of the offers with changes that would probably be accepted and reply to other offers trying to get the best result.
On the other hand, after the seller’s agent discusses each buyer situation with the buyers’ agents, the seller may simply decide to accept the first response to the Multiple Counter Offers if they are confident the fastest response is the most motivated buyer.
Other Options That Add Complexity Now, during this process, or possibly before, the seller may be approached by an iBuyer, one of the many companies whose strategy is to buy your home and then resell later at a higher price. Buying and reselling homes for a profit is their primary mission. Is a home seller better off taking the potential quicker sale to an iBuyer or going through the process defined above with a good agent?
It stands to reason that if an iBuyer is willing to pay a certain price for a home, they believe they can resell it for a higher price. In other words, there could be money left on the table but exactly how much is difficult to determine unless the seller goes through a similar process described above. Having the most qualified agent on your side who understands this process could net the seller tens of thousands of dollars more than any other option.
The experience and skill of the agents involved can dramatically affect the outcome and the same qualified agent can also help the seller make an informed decision about an iBuyer offer. Both the buyer and seller need to employ the most qualified agent they can find to navigate the complexities of a hot real estate market to increase their odds of success and to gain the best possible deal. Considering the skill and experience it takes to navigate these complexities, a good agent can be worth far more than the commission paid to him or her.

Arizona Celebrated its 110th Anniversary!
While February 14 is celebrated as the day of love, it is also celebrated as Arizona’s official state anniversary. This year, Arizona celebrated its 110th anniversary!
Arizona is the 48th state to be accepted into the Union and was first discovered by Spanish explorers back in 1540, but it wasn’t until 1694 that Europeans laid their eyes on the land again. Spain continued to explore Arizona up until 1821 when Mexico gained its independence from Spain, at which point American’s were allowed to start exploring Arizona as well. It was not until 1848 that Americans gained the land through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
In 1858 silver was discovered near what is now known as Jerome, Arizona. This sparked a rush for silver across central Arizona. A few months later, this rush was overwhelmed by the even bigger gold rush in Apache County. Arizona’s population remained small throughout the 19th century despite all of these gold rushes, with most people following cattle trails into the area. By 1880 though, Arizona had more than 50,000 residents and continued to grow as mining jobs were plenty, and wages were high for those who chose to work.
By 1881, The Atlantic & Pacific Railroad constructed tracks across southern Arizona, further adding to Tucson’s growth. This also helped get more people to the silver mining towns of Tombstone and Bisbee, turning them into thriving communities. Finally, on February 14, 1912, President William Taft signed House Bill Number 329, which officially made Arizona a state of the United States of America.
Arizona’s population increased dramatically when World War I brought on new jobs. This attracted thousands of immigrants from Mexico. By 1920, Arizona’s population had almost doubled with these recently arrived immigrants, and this helped to build farms and ranches throughout the area.
Now, Arizona is thriving! It is the sixth-largest state in the United States and has gained much appreciation for its diversity. With scenic views found at every turn, it’s easy to understand why people enjoy visiting Arizona, as well as love living there.
Are you ready to call Arizona home, and join in it’s anniversary celebration each year?
When you hire a Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate | BloomTree Realty Agent, you are not hiring just one agent; you are hiring a company with a committed group of professionals who support each other. You are hiring a dedicated leadership team committed to attracting and training the best agents and to supporting the community in which we all live.
Bloomtree and its partner, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, have teamed up to deliver the best training, culture, and brand value to produce the one-of-a-kind results clients expect and deserve. Give the office a call, we would love to share our love of Arizona with you: 928-443-8800

EXPERIENCE WHISKEY ROW
Whiskey Row is full of some of Prescott’s oldest history. This street is named Whiskey Row because of the large number of saloons in one place. Whiskey Row developed after a fire in July of 1900 destroyed the entire block. When reconstructed, there were 40 saloons and bars rebuilt in the area.
This high number of saloons was primarily due to the gold rush culture that drew all kinds of settlers, cowboys, prospectors, bawdy girls, gamblers, and even outlaws to the town. Nowadays, Whiskey Row is known for its art galleries, candy shops, and its famous saloons. One stroll around this particular block would show you how full of life and history this town is!
EXPERIENCE AFRICA
Discover the wildlife park in Arizona called Out of Africa. It is one of the top Arizona zoos and is perfect for some family fun!

A great way to enjoy Prescott is to visit one of the many museums in the area. The Phippen Museum is an intimate museum exhibiting cowboy- and Native-American-themed works tracing the culture of the West.
Local artist and first president of the Cowboy Artists of America, George Phippen, passed away in 1965 at the age of 50 and never saw the museum that bears his name. But being a man dedicated to his Western art and supportive of others in like pursuit, he would no doubt be proud of the role the Phippen Museum plays today in the continued presentation, promotion and preservation of Art of the American West.
