The MLS was fully online, electronic signatures were common, and everyone seemed to have a smartphone already. So, from that perspective in looking at things as they are today I don't see that we have lost that much to the internet within the real estate industry. Even though the majority of communication is done via text message and email, we still have to get together with clients when looking at homes or seeing the home that we are going to list for sale. Everything seems to be on the internet these days and if we have a quest... 01/10/2022

 From the advice of one of our preferred Attorneys, Mr. Chris Combs of Combs, Gottlieb & MacQueen, P.C.:Short-Term Rental Would Not Be 'Grandfathered' Question: We have owned our Gilbert home for 30 years. In the last 2 years we have been the unfortunate neighbors of a short-term rental home. This short-term rental home has been a nightmare with parties every night, police being called, etc. If our community amends our CC&Rs to prohibit short-term rentals, is the neighboring short-term rental home “grandfathered” or will the short-term rentals have to stop? If the short-term rental home is not stopped, we want to sell our home. Will we have to disclose this short-term rental home?   Answer: First, if the CC&Rs are amended to prohibit short-term rentals, there is no “grandfathered” prote... 01/06/2022
