Lindon Pool Party
You may be too cold still to think about swimming outdoors here in Utah. However, August will be here before you know it and with that is our annual Coldwell Banker Client Appreciation Party at the Lindon Pool.
We have great food, great competitions, and more often than not great weather. One of the most fun things to participate in is the “Lily-Pad Race”.
I’m always so grateful for those I get to work within Real Estate and those that continue to refer their friends and family to me. Please plan on attending our Pool Party and we’ll see who wins the competition this year. Hope to see you there!

Heber City Homes – What are you looking for?
I recently went through a home in Heber City for a client. This home had 4,500 sq. ft, 6 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths. There are many homes similar to this one if you are interested!
Heber City is a wonderful place to live. Located on the Wasatch Back, it is the perfect place if you want to live somewhere that feels isolated; yet still close to Salt Lake City, Park City and Provo. There are homes with high square footage and large spacious lots.
If you’re looking to buy, there are currently 233 residential listings on the Wasatch Front MLS in Heber City. It is a great time to look through a variety of homes and find one that suits your liking!
In 2018 there were 258 residential sales. Have you recently considered listing your home? Contact me today for a home market evaluation at no cost!

Huntsman Cancer Golf
Last year I was able to participate in a golf fundraiser for Huntsman Cancer! This is a little clip from that event and some more information about the fundraisers I am privileged to be a part of. Let me know if you’d like to join us for this year’s fundraising golf tournament!
This specific fundraiser was held at the Dave Rose classic for Huntsman Cancer at the Alpine Country Club. If you ever want to support Huntsman Cancer this is the way to do it. What do they say? The worst day of golf is better than the best day at work!
I love this organization, Huntsman is just a classy place. My mom passed away about 26 years ago of cancer and I appreciate what research they do here. It’s amazing the stories that you hear about Huntsman Cancer. Dave and his wife Cheryl Rose have taken this project (I know I’ve talked about it before on my blog) and they raise money every year.
I also appreciate Coldwell Banker and what they do to support this program. I donate every time I have a settlement or a closing. I appreciate my clients and those that have worked with me over these years who make it possible for me to donate! If you have any inkling of buying or selling let me know, I’d love to work with you and make another donation to Huntsman Cancer.
It’s amazing what they do. There is a new joint venture with Primary Children’s and Huntsman Cancer. They have a PET scan where they can do these scans that enable them to know within a day, or even just a few hours, the impact of the treatments, how it’s working and what’s happening with the cancer. It used to take weeks to get information.
Have a great week! It was a beautiful day and I’m very blessed to be able to golf with Coldwell Banker at this Huntsman Classic every year. Get in touch with me if you’d like to come to golf at our fundraising event this year!

Old and New Saratoga Springs
Hello everyone, I am in Saratoga Springs looking at a home here and just wanted to share a couple things with you. Saratoga Springs is the coolest place and this home is in the area that used to have the marina and the old hot springs.
If you know much about Saratoga Springs, it’s a cool story about a guy named John Beck. He was working in the Tintic district of Utah and had made a ton of money in the mines out there. He came over to this side, saw the hot springs and then bought approximately a thousand acres and turned it into a resort. He named it Saratoga Springs after the Saratoga Springs Resort in New York.
It was the late 1800’s when he started it (not that I go back that far) but I do remember coming here in the 70’s. There were parks, picnic tables, a water slide and of course the hot springs. I was a really, really cool place. Now it is homes.
This home is a great home; just over 5,700 square feet, six bedrooms, four baths. But the thing that’s really cool is this home is in a location where they have an HOA and it’s around $100 a month. They have two pools, they have the dock, in fact, you can see the lake right here in the video. They have a private marina, dock, they have basketball courts, they have pavilions, a couple clubhouses. It’s amazing what they have in this HOA for such a low price!
Saratoga, as I’m sure everybody’s heard…Saratoga, Eagle Mountain, all of this side of the lake…has been growing like crazy! In this area here they have houses built, but they’re not on top of each other.
So if you’re interested in living in Saratoga let me know! If you’re interested in the history I’d love to talk to you about that too, it’s a pretty fun history.
Give me a call if you’re interested in buying or selling Saratoga! Add that to your list, I’d love to help you!

Are you interested in a Real Estate Career?
Have you thought about getting into real estate?
Have you thought about becoming a Realtor?
Have you thought about becoming a Realtor?
Every year we have an open house where you can talk to people about real estate; we have Realtors that will share some experiences of what they do and what’s helped them be successful.
I made this video before our last career night, contact me for more information about this year’s event!
Read on for more about one of the reasons why I love being a realtor:
One of the things that I really like about real estate is the networking.
I’ve had my real estate license for about 6 years now, and a couple years ago I saw this billboard that caught my eye. It was during the election and a lot of you probably saw this particular billboard!
On the billboard was a picture of Hillary and Trump with the words displayed: “Are you moving to Canada?” It was the kind of the spoof that made you question who you would choose; and, will you be moving to Canada despite who wins?
I thought it was hilarious!
Jimmy is the name of the guy who created the billboard, and I called him soon after that. I had heard about some of his tactics and how well they were working.
He’s a very successful realtor!
On that call I was amazed at how eager he was to explain, he was so friendly. I’m with Coldwell Banker, and although he isn’t, he was so friendly and willing to give me some pointers on a few things that have really helped me.
I’d had my real estate license about three and a half years at that time. Anyways, I saw him again today while I was in Park City and had the chance to talk with him and ask a few more questions.
I would love to help you just as he has helped me!
If you’re interested in real estate, they keep saying now’s the best time to get into real estate just simply because the market is so hot for sellers and there are a lot of buyers.
It’s a lot of work either way, but if you’re interested in real estate, let me know.
I would love to hop on a phone call and talk about Real Estate! I too am eager and would love to meet you and just talk with you about real estate. If it’s something you might be interested in, I’ll let you know how I went through the process.
Coldwell Banker has some good options and I’d be happy to share them with you.
Please contact me, I am here for you!

Appraisals & Views
Hey, everyone, hope you’re having a great evening. I wanted to take a minute and just share some thoughts about some appraisal situations. I also wanted to share with you this view here. This is one of the best views you’ll ever see anywhere, I just love this. Could Midway, UT be any more beautiful?
Contact me for more information and for all your Real Estate needs.
A recent situation has urged me to share with you a couple things you need to know specifically as a buyer (somewhat as a seller) about appraisals.
As a buyer, you need to get the appraisal; the lender is going to order the appraisal, the appraisal will come in. You need to know that you have a right to that appraisal. There was a law passed in 2010; the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and that law said that the lender is obligated to give you, the buyer, a copy of the appraisal. And they’re supposed to give it to you promptly after they receive it or within three days of closing, whichever one is earlier.
Now why should you make sure you get that appraisal? You’re going through the lending process and need to make sure you have the correct value of that property. Look and review what the comparables were and what was used in some of the properties.
This is an instance where having a Realtor will become beneficial to you. Your realtor will start working with the seller’s agent because that agent is going to know the specific area. They’ll know what comparables they looked at when they originally priced the home. This is critical because sometimes you’ll get a comparable of a home that’s the same acreage, same square footage, but it may have been distressed or have a problem. The listing agent is probably going to know all of these details.
So make sure you get that appraisal! Your lender not only is obligated to give you the appraisal but any additional paperwork, any reviews…anything else that he’s using to get your loan put together or that the appraiser used to come up with the appraisal of the property.
It is critical that you know this! Take the opportunity to work with your lender, let him know as soon as the appraisal comes in: “Give me a copy of the appraisal. I want to review it, I want to make sure that I’m getting some good value in my property.”
If you have a question about appraisals give me a call, shoot me a text or message and I’d love to help you.
