Arizona is a beautiful place full of fantastic neighborhoods and if you’re moving here, you’ll probably need a little help deciding what community is right for you.
Credit Where Credit is Due 0
Credit can be confusing. It’s this strange, omnipresent score board of your financial good doing that determines whether you’re a smart financial risk for lenders. But don’t worry. Having a little knowledge on your side will make sure that you’re putting your best foot forward when it comes to raising your credit score.

Well, yes we’re well on our way to 100 years old, and as Arizonans we need to admire the past while we look towards the future.
Making an Offer They Can’t Refuse 0
I see it more and more everyday. The housing market in Phoenix is shrinking and buyers are looking to make offers and get approved as quickly as possible. But for new or first time home buyers the steps to closing the deal can be foreign and slow down the process, which is the last thing you want in this market.

Prices are about to Pop 1

Good News for home owners in distress!
And by “Good News” I don’t mean some shady scheme to short sell your house to an off-shore corporation in the Caymen Islands.
The State of Sustainability 0
For those of you unable to attend last nights sustainability event downtown, you missed out on a panel of exceptional experts, conversation, and ideas to benefit our city. The George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center was filled with almost 400 community members. The forum was filled with heated debate but after all was said [...]
Chow, Bella 0
So, I’ve been a member of a food co-op for about 4 years now. Great idea, you know. You skip the grocery store and just pick up an order of fruits and veggies. Interestingly enough, the biggest drawback was also the biggest opportunity. Each order consists of just what the co-op organizers happen to get [...]
