In today's New York Times, both online and in print, there's a big article about the Tucson Foothills. For this article, which appears in a regular Friday column called HAVENS, I had the pleasure of working with the writer from the New York Times, Paul Smalera.
Paul was great, and so for me it was a lot of fun and very similiar to working with a home buyer from out of town, except that Paul was constantly taking notes about the things we saw and the things I said. As we drove around the Foothills I gave him an overview of the Foothills real estate market and showed him the different communities and the types of homes that were available, who was buying in those communities, prices and market trends and the changes that had occurred in recent years. Since the thrust of the article is about second homeowners, Paul asked if I had some second homeowner clients who would agree to be interviewed. Paul and Marianne Pellegrino, who were gracious enough to make themselves available and agree to be interviewed and recorded, are quoted frequently throughout the article. It's a really terrific piece and wonderful exposure for Tucson and the Tucson Foothills.
