Sedona Bridal Fair
The second most special thing you can do in Sedona is to marry the one you love. What’s the first thing? Wake up everyday and breathe Sedona’s fresh air! But today we are talking about #2... Creating your Sedona Dream Wedding.
Weddings are stressful on all parties. Most of the stress stems from not knowing where to start. Luckily some answers are on the way. In our own backyard, the Sedona Wedding Professionals Association has chartered the perfect event. The 2nd annual Sedona Bridal Fair, Scheduled for Sat.

Valentine's Activities
There are plenty of reasons to live in Sedona. One of our favorites is the many romantic activities you can do with your spouse & family. This year we decided to research the options for Valentine’s Day Weekend and we discovered the Verde Canyon Railroad features a train ride as one of the best ways to spend this year’s holiday with your loved ones.
If you are looking to supercharge the typical Valentine’s Day chocolates, then delight in knowing your loved one will enjoy every delectable moment on the Chocolate Lover’s Train. As you ride throughout over a century of Verde Valley History, you will be provided an assortment of chocolate hors d’oeuvres to sample accompanied by specialty cocktails & flavored coffee.
Perfectly said on the Chocolate Lover’s Train event flyer, “Valentine’s Day occurs right in the middle of Eagle watch season. Appropriate. Eagles mate for life. Isn’t that romantic?” If you are in Sedona for the holiday weekend, we recommend bringing your Valentine on a ride in paradise for an unforgettable romantic experience.
You can expect rides on the Chocolate Lover’s Train to be...

Buyer & Seller Tips of the Month
Buyers
When searching for a new home or lot, it's best to map out a "NEEDS" & "WANTS" List. Not every property will have everything you "NEED", but it may compensate by including lots of items on your "WANTS" list. It is important to start your search with the NEEDS items spelled out so the WANTS items do not entice you to fall in love with a piece of Sedona Real Estate that does not fit your lifestyle. An example list could be:
- NEEDS
- 2-Car Garage
- 4 Bedrooms
- Shed or Exterior Work Area
- WANTS
- Granite Countertops
- Fenced Backyards
- Lush Landscape
Be open. Don’t get stuck on having to have a fenced back yard or other items that can easily be added. Remember neighborhood is important so if you find a great Sedona Property in a great neighborhood, you can easily make it your dream property with a few minor additions.

An Update from your Local Lender
Help is on the way!
We have heard the president say many times lately that "help is on the way", and for those who have loans owned by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac this statement may be coming true to some extent.
Coming in March the "HARP" program will be extended to help homeowners who are paying their mortgage payments. This program will remove the loan to value parameter making an appraisal not something to worry about. There will also be limited income documentation required to qualify. This program is designed to give those who have been making their payments the opportunity to benefit from some of the lowest rates we have seen. More information on this program will be available as we get closer to the March deadline.
The expanded "HARP" program is designed to lower the nations debt by making loan payments more affordable. This may, in turn, take some pressure off of the real estate market and keep homeowners in their homes. This may take some additional supply of homes off of the market therefore strengthening the market as a whole.
If you would like more information on the "HARP" program do not hesitate to give me a call.
