☀️ HOA vs. The Arizona Heat:
Homeowners Just Won BIG!

Living in Arizona means dealing with summer temperatures that regularly break 110 degrees. In this kind of desert heat, backyard shade isn’t a luxury item—it’s a basic matter of health, safety, and liveability.

Yet for years, many homeowners have been trapped in costly disputes with HOAs that used strict neighborhood look-and-feel rules to completely block the installation of basic shade structures.

That officially changes with the passing of House Bill 2342. The newly signed law explicitly states that notwithstanding any community documents, an HOA cannot outright ban the backyard installation of permanent or moveable shade structures. While boards can still establish “reasonable” rules, the bill packs a major punch: it protects anything that is commercially produced or professionally manufactured, and it strips the HOA of their financial leverage by mandating that the court shall award reasonable attorney fees and costs to any homeowner who successfully challenges an HOA board violating this law.

👇 Has your HOA ever denied your backyard shade requests in the past? Now is the time to reopen that conversation! Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

📲 How Remote Workers Get an Instant 10% Raise Moving to Arizona
🖥️
Thinking of relocating your home office?
Keeping your out-of-state salary while moving to AZ is the ultimate financial cheat code.
Here is the breakdown:

1. The Flat Tax Hack 📉
The Flex: Arizona has a flat 2.5% state income tax.
The Math: Moving from California (up to 13.3%) or Chicago instantly pockets you a 6.8% to 10.8% raise on income tax savings alone.

2. The Property Tax Discount 💸
The Flex: AZ property taxes average a tiny 0.48%.
The Math: A 2M home in Texas costs up to $40,000 in taxes. In Arizona? Just around $9,600. That’s an extra $2,500 in your pocket.

3. More Value and Land 🏡
The Flex: Your purchasing power triples.
The Math: Trade a cramped, million-dollar condo in Silicon Valley or Seattle for a brand-new, 4,000+ sq ft luxury estate with a pool and a 3-car garage in North Scottsdale, Gilbert, or Chandler.

This home is more than a neighborhood…it’s a lifestyle. Buying into this exclusive, tightly held gated enclave is an absolute jackpot. 🎯

In Fieldstone Estates - you are securing a passport into one of South Chandler’s most sought after tight-knit neighborhoods where you’ll find people who wave, kids who play outside, and folks who walk their dogs in the massive greenbelts.

An entry point here at this price point is hard to find, giving you instant equity anchored by million dollar comps.✅

What makes this a true real estate cheat code? You get the community’s most efficient, manageable footprint, but you still get the full estate-sized land value. Like every custom property here, this home sits on an expansive, near quarter-acre lot.

Here is how that lifestyle checks out:
✨ Inside: A sophisticated, high-ceiling entertainer’s layout featuring a reimagined chef’s kitchen with double ovens, a fully renovated secondary bath, and recent interior/exterior paint.
🌴 Outside: A resort-style, multi-level backyard featuring a sunken paver courtyard, built-in fire pit, and a huge lawn with plenty of room left over for a future pool or sport court.
🚘 The Garage: An organized 3-car setup with custom workbenches and heavy-duty overhead storage.

Don’t just buy a house—invest in the lifestyle. DM us today to schedule your private tour! 📲

Tempe’s Hidden, Award-Winning Foodie Paradise!
✨🌮

One of my favorite parts of being a Realtor is discovering incredible local spots throughout the Valley—and this one is definitely worth sharing!

From flavorful tacos and fresh salads to handcrafted cocktails and a beautiful atmosphere, every detail made this lunch stop memorable. Sometimes the Realtor life means grabbing a meal solo between appointments, but finding gems like this makes it worth it!

What I loved most was learning about the story behind the restaurant, the talented culinary team, and the thoughtful design that creates such a unique dining experience. Supporting local businesses is something we’re passionate about, and this spot is a perfect example of why.

TOP 4% & TOP 500 IN THE EAST VALLEY!
🏆🌵

Humbled that the Hickson Team has been awarded Top 4% of over 44,000 agents in Arizona and also anded a spot on the coveted TOP 500 East Valley Real Producers list!
Let’s GO! 💥

When we started this journey almost a decade ago we knew the Phoenix Metro market was fiercely competitive and running a business together has taught us one major thing - you can’t do any of this without an incredible village!

To say we are humbled and deeply grateful is an understatement.

Navigating everything from luxury relocation homes in Chandler to unique properties in Phoenix and Tempe to helping first time homebuyers in Gilbert, and guiding those wanting a second home in Flagstaff - we are battle tested do do it all.
🤜🤛

Awards feel great but it’s the families who trust us to guide them through the biggest financial decisions of their lives.

To our incredible clients, our family, and this amazing desert community—thank you for your fierce loyalty and trust. We do not take a single second of it for granted.

Here’s to another decade of making homeownership dreams come true in the Valley!
🥂✨

Could you work with your partner daily?
🫢😜♥️

For a lot of couples, that’s a hard no.
But for us?
It’s our ultimate superpower. 💥✨
We truly, deeply love doing life and
business hand-in-hand…even if we do have to measure our sanity in kitchen island length!
😂 📐

Did you know…the average island length is about 6 feet, but in Arizona (especially in our Chandler luxury builds), we love to go big. This massive quartz slab is well past the average—making it the perfect distance to open laptops, unpack tournament gear, cook food for two athletes, and enough space so I don’t totally talk Chris’ ear off!
📢😂⚽️🏀

Managing a real estate team & calendar full of busy teenagers means we are a 24/7 operation. We each handle a different piece of the business, blending our unique strengths to make things better for our clients.

Our brains never shut off—we’re still laughing and brainstorming business ideas at 11:00 PM—but we wouldn’t trade it for the world.
We love bringing twice the heart to helping Arizona families find the perfect layout for their chaotic, beautiful lives. 🏡❤️

Be honest... could you work with your absolute favorite person every day?

Toured these 3 gorgeous properties today, but our clients got exclusive dibs on the off-market 4th! 🤫🔑

The best homes across the Valley aren't even hitting the public search sites yet. Today was a perfect example of why your choice of Realtor matters. We took our buyers to see 3 beautiful active listings—but they absolutely LOVED the secret option.

Because we keep our fingers on the pulse of the local market, we were able to grant them private walkthrough access to a spectacular, upcoming off-market property that our team is getting ready to list.

The best part?
❌ No public bidding wars.
❌ No competing with hundreds of other buyers.

✨ Just exclusive, first-look access.
Whether you are looking for a modern farmhouse in Gilbert, a luxury custom build in Scottsdale, or a mountain-view property in Phoenix, we often have access to upcoming inventory that other agents don’t know about yet.

👇 DM us your specific neighborhood wish list today, and let's get you inside track access to the best off-market homes in Arizona.

Your thoughts on gallery walls may be all wrong! ❌🖼️

Ever wonder why a great gallery wall stops you cold? It’s actually a 300-year-old French rebellion. 🌎

You don’t need an interior designer or a massive budget to make them work.

In 17th-century Paris, artists rejected rigid, elite design by cramming art floor-to-ceiling called a “Salon hang.” Today, from Parisian flats to Brooklyn brownstones to AZ sun-drenched desert stucco, that magic brings a lived-in soul to a home that no single piece of furniture can match.

Want to pull it off yourself:

🧵 1. Find a Thread
Don’t match; connect. Tie the wall together with one common element: a shared color palette, consistent matting, or varied sizes of classic black frames.
🎨 2. Mix the Mediums
Let the wall breathe. Intentionally blend photos, oil paintings, mirrors, and textiles. Put your favorite piece at eye level as the anchor, then build outward.
📐 3. Plan on the Floor
Save your drywall. Lay everything on the floor first and snap a photo from above. Distance reveals awkward spacing mistakes you’ll miss when you’re looking right at them.
📏 4. Nail the Spacing
Aim for 2 to 3 inches of space between each frame as your golden rule. Too close feels cramped; too far apart looks like a random assortment instead of a cohesive collection.
⏱️ 5. Let it Grow
The best walls are built over years—thrifted frames, travel prints, old letters. Leave intentional negative space. Organic growth always beats a single weekend shopping spree.

A gallery wall isn’t just decor; it’s a living story that evolves with you.

Brunch… but make it EXTRA! ✨🥓🪩

We stopped by Hash Kitchen and honestly… this Billionaire’s Bacon might be the most over-the-top brunch item we’ve ever seen! 👀
