New Advisories - Tenant Advisory - Lease Owner’s Advisory.

New Advisories AAR recently introduced two new advisories to make your job easier: the Tenant Advisory and a Lease Owner’s Advisory. Each advisory provides the consumer with a wealth of information relevant to residential rental transactions with citations to applicable portions of Arizona’s Residential Landlord & Tenant Act. 

 See complete story

In an effort to further educate tenants and lease owners (aka landlords) about their rights and obligations in conjunction with residential rental transactions, the Arizona Association of REALTORS^® (AAR) has developed two new consumer advisories. As of March 28, 2013, AAR will maintain on its website a Tenant Advisory and a Lease Owner’s Advisory.  Each advisory provides the consumer with a wealth of information relevant to residential rental transactions with citations to applicable portions of Arizona’s Residential Landlord & Tenant Act. Designed to be utilized online, the documents direct consumers, via hyperlink in the electronic version, to sources of additional information.
For organizational purposes, each advisory is divided into sections. The Tenant Advisory consists of four sections:

1. Common documents a tenant should review;
2. Tenants rights and obligations;
3. Additional information; and
4. Additional resources.

Because many real estate licensees will seek to have the tenant acknowledge receipt of the Tenant Advisory, the last page consists of an acknowledgment that contains a signature block and prompt for the tenant’s initials.

The Lease Owner’s Advisory similarly consists of four sections:

1. Owner’s responsibilities and statutory requirements;
2. Common documents and disclosures;
3. Lease owner’s rights and obligations; and
4. Additional resources.

The final page of the Lease Owner’s Advisory contains a list of ten questions a lease owner should ask when considering having their property professionally managed.
Use of these two advisories should result in more informed tenants and lease owners by providing each with valuable resources and guidance. AAR will routinely update these documents on its website as laws change and new issues arise.
AAR would like to thank the following individuals who served as members of the workgroup that drafted the advisories: Trudy Moore (Chair), Martha Appel, Sue Flucke, Kim Horn, Jacquie Kellogg and Frank Russo.
 

Buying a NEW HOME? Bring Your Buyer’s Representatives with you a Realtor

Bring Your Buyer’s Representatives a Realtor

Why Every New Home Buyer Needs the Representation of a Realtor

New home sales here in Phoenix are UP, and have been for some time NOW,  and here in the Phoenix Area buyers are searching for a Newly Constructed or yet-to-be-constructed home. Unlike conventional home buyers, these buyers are generally less knowledgeable about real estate than the HOME SELLER are, since the sellers of NEW HOMES are DEVELOPERS and that’s what they do for a living. 
Because of the special complexities of a new home purchase, BUYERS are in desperate need of representation and counseling. Buyers NEED there OWN Representation. But many buyers feel when purchasing a New home, that they don't need a Realtor. When in fact it is preferred.
Realtors Are Your Advocate During the Process * Bring A REALTOR * The new Home Builder will have you sign a waver letting you know that THEY represent THE BUILDER NOT YOU! 

Employing the services of a Realtor, particularly when purchasing a newly constructed home, will give buyers an extra line of defense against many of the common issues that arise during the buying process. Rather than battling the builder ALONE when problems arise during construction, your Realtor will take matters into their own hands and work to assure that any problem is corrected in a way that is suitable to you.
 
Realtors are also experienced in contracts and contract negotiations. While the wording of a contract may be somewhat cryptic to the buyer, a Realtor can clarify any wording that is confusing and work to get changes made to contract stipulations that are unsuitable. This will help to prevent misunderstandings and misleading contract terms that are binding, once a purchase agreement is signed.

Still Want to Go It Alone?

While some have successfully purchased homes directly from a builder, buyers should ask themselves if this is a risk that they are willing to take. In most cases, the peace of mind and protecting that is given by using a Realtor is well worth their commission. By choosing to purchase a newly constructed home through a Realtor, the likelihood of a positive outcome is almost assured, from start to finish.

Polish chicken and dumplings my WAY

I love chicken and dumplings, and always have.  If I see it on a menu I order it.  My problem is "I have never made chicken & dumplings that I like." (9 out of 10 times it good, very good, but not what I am looking for.  I am very critical of my chicken & dumplings. I am always looking for the perfect dumpling recipe. The soup stock I can make, it's  the dumplings. I like the heaver, dense dumpling.  My hunt for that perfect dumpling continues!

        Dumplings

British / Irish  typically make dumplings from flour, fat and a leavening agent, and flavor them with spices or herbs. The dumplings are boiled or steamed and served in a stew or soup. In Italy, ravioli is made from a flour dough that is cut into squares and filled with meat or cheese and boiled, myself I love the Italian gnocchi, I am crazy for gnocchi, my favorite. Gnocchi  are small dumpling made from potato & flour that is boiled and served with a sauce, gravy or pesto. I love a roasted tomato pesto with my gnocchi and love to add gnocchi to soup.   
Then the popular American dish chicken and dumplings,  pieces of dough boiled in a chicken-based soup. Scandinavian, northern Europe cooking often uses potato dumplings, or  flour dumplings.. In German / Hungarian cooking, a variety of dumplings can be found, German spatzle (a small, boiled dumpling made from egg and flour) to sweeter dumplings made by wrapping fruit in a dough and baking it.  I love dumpling,  lets see what I can do today.  

I just found a recipe on line for  Polish Chicken and Dumplings   Making it my own..

  

• 1 (3 pound) chicken I used 6 leg quarters
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 stalk celery, with leaves and  5 carrots (optional) most people don't put carrots in. I DO!
• 1 tablespoon garlic or several fresh chopped and saute pieces 
• 1 teaspoon whole allspice
• 1 teaspoon dried basil , 1/2 teaspoon thyme (I use fresh basil) big handful chopped.
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 3-4 teaspoon to taste of bouillon if needed or a cartons of chicken stock
  
  I like to Roast my chicken pieces w/ salt and pepper on a cookie sheet for 30-40min this will make a deep rich stock, I also roast the carrots, onions and celery and garlic along with the chicken.  When chicken is done, place in a pot, dutch oven, and fill with water, Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for approximately 1.5 hrs. 
  
  Remove chicken from broth, and remove bones. Return broth to pan, stir in veggies  and continue simmering. Set chicken aside to cool.  
  
  

DUMPLINGS: This makes a lot of dumplings.. and it's all about the dumplings.

• 4 eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups water
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
  OOPS almost forgot, I put some fresh thyme and fresh basil in my dough.
  
  Stir  eggs,  oil, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper with 2 cups water. Add flour, and stir, mix well. Use large spoon and knife, scoop a spoonful of the dough and cut small pieces into the broth. Use all the dough and you will have lots of dumplings. Stir, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes. 
  
  TIME to add the chicken!! ENJOY
