Real Estate

🦜 What are “parrots” in the real estate world?

According to Joan Herlong, there’s one type of wildlife you don’t want to run into in the Upstate: “parrots.” This term refers to real estate agents who will always reaffirm their clients in an effort to avoid conflict or firing — even when the client is wrong.

When a buyer is stuck with a parrot, it can be worse than if the client was on their own.

The lesson? It’s in everyone’s best interest for an agent to be candid and to tell the truth — no matter how painful.

Great Escapes: Our guide to Scottsdale, AZ

Scottsdale, Arizona has made a name for itself not only for being a hot spot for outdoor enthusiasts, but also for those looking for food, fun and endless shopping.

Director of Client Success Emily here. Having lived in Scottsdale for 25+ years, any time I visit my hometown the agenda is jam packed — so let’s get to it.

Why go?
  • Scottsdale and its surrounding cities like Phoenix and Tempe have something for everyone, even the kids. From golf courses, to high-end shopping and spas, to the Arizona Boardwalk, it’s simply impossible to run out of things to do both indoors (I’m looking at you, Summer) and outside.
  • There are tons of events held around the year but I never missed the Waste Management Phoenix Open in February, Spring Training games in April, and the Desert Botanical Garden in the fall or winter.
