We talk Arizona real estate as well we talk to a real Sugar Daddy and find out all about this arrangement. Curious? We sure were! On this podcast: Realtor & Host Diane Brennan with Coldwell Banker, Ashleigh Herman with Realty One Group, Courtney Crowder & Stacy Voss with Bay Equity, Marcus, host of "Secrets of a Sugar Daddy" podcast. (2:48) UNSUNG HEROES PROGRAM - How we help first responders in the Valley buy or sell a home. We contribute 25% of our commission to help the first responder , Bay Equity gives the hero back 1.4 of 1% of the total loan amount and our participating title companies give back as well. First responders include police officers, firefighters, active duty military, Veterans, 911 operators and emergency room personnel. Reach us at thatrealestateshow.com (3:39) CONGRATS to our clients! (4:18) GILBERT - Is it really teeming with singles or does it still have the stigma of being a "family" place. We discuss. (5:26) MCCORMICK RANCH, SCOTTSDALE - We have a new listing in a great area in Scottsdale, AZ (5:45) BUYER BEWARE - This company is essentially advertising "free cash" to homeowners. It appears that once the homeowner signs their agreement and they get the "free cash," MV Realty, or someone else under their umbrella, records a signed Memorandum of Agreement against the property where the homeowner agrees to use MV Realty any time in the future to sell their home. The recorded Memorandum is essentially a lien on the property so it clouds the title. If the homeowner at any time in the future decides to sell using another company, they can't close without MV removing the Memorandum Agreement which will cost the homeowner thousands of $$$. One complaint was written by the trustee of a property after their Dad had passed away and the trustee sold the property. The trustee never knew that the Dad (who apparently had Alzheimer's) signed this agreement until it showed up on the title. The trustee had to pay this company thousands of $$$$ to get the lien removed. The trustee complained and he received a letter written in "legalese" that they are not doctors and did not know Dad was mentally impaired, and the agreement of course also included some language that includes all heirs successors. (7:38) TIK TOK - Diane's love of Tik Tok continues and she posts them on her IG stories. If you want to follow the IG stories that Stacey loves on Diane's feed, just follow her on IG @myrealtordianebrennan (9:50) BANISHED WORDS LIST - We all still want to use these!

(14:20) SUGAR DADDY AND SUGAR BABIES - Marcus is the host of "Secrets of a Sugar Daddy" podcast and a real live Sugar Daddy. We find out all about the ins and outs of these arrangements.

Diane & Ashleigh talk about the process of becoming a real estate agent and what you have to do once you get your license. They also talk about the shady and unethical things some real estate agents are doing with multiple offers. They also talk about home appreciation. Thanks to our friends at the Cromford Report for their list of ranking cities by average sales price per square foot. The least expensive cities have outperformed the rest. Top spot for annual appreciation is Coolidge, Arizona at 40.5% rate of appreciation in one year. It's the most affordable on the list of 40, sitting at $146.94/sf. Other high appreciation areas include Tonopah, AZ at 39% Arizona City at 36.1% Maricopa, Arizona at 34.9% Queen Creek, Arizona at 34.8% When it comes to the lowest appreciation rate, Eloy, Arizona is at 19.2% Carefree & Sun City West are at 22.8% each. Generally, the areas with a high median age increased at a slower rate than areas with a low median age. However, more expensive areas have historically moved later than cheaper areas when following house price trends. Supply in Paradise Valley and Carefree has dropped much more than other areas in the last 12 months. So it would not be a surprise if their appreciation catches up over the next 12 months. Arizona's real estate market is showing no sign of turning in buyers' favor. Let's see how Buckeye, Arizona is doing in honor of Ashleigh, the Queen of Buckeye. It's average $/sf is $196.46
