Last Friday, Maria & I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary. I am so grateful to God for the blessing of my wife, and for every single year we have shared together. In honor of this milestone, I hope you enjoy this very special edition of my newsletter!
In this month’s newsletter:
Happy Easter!
I’ve lined up some deals on spring cleaning
We have some new chickens at our house!
Hey friends! If you need a place to go for Good Friday or Easter Sunday, I'd love to invite you to come to my church Camelback Community Church off Camelback Road in Glendale. My family and I will be there, and we'd love to see you. We're so thankful to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus and the hope He gives us and the eternal life He promises us...I just felt led to get the word out and invite as many people as I can.
We have service on Friday at 6:30PM and Sunday at 9AM and 10:30AM.
If you need a place to go this weekend, please come!
Blessings ✝️
P.S. if you want to sit with us, send me a text message: (602) 705-9835
Food!
Got to visit Señor Pollo on 59th Ave in Glendale this week! Here's the lowdown....
I ordered the half chicken with charro beans, macaroni salad, veggies, salsa, and tortillas for $15.99...so flavorful. I also tried the tacos dorados (five crispy chicken tacos + drink for $8.99). After that, I had to take a nap. And then after that my FitBit said I needed to workout 🤣
The red sauce they give you with the tacos is splendid (who am I, Mary Poppins?)! To be honest, I'm not sure why they don't give it to you with the Pollo Asada plates, but I feel like they should.
Next time I’m going for the Papa Loca baked potato with butter, sour cream, cheese, and my choice of Carne or Pollo Asada.
This is a solid spot I’m definitely taking my family back to and adding to the rotation! 🍗🌮🥔
Congrats Senor Pollo for receiving a perfect 10/10 T.A.C.O.S.™️ Rating (Taco Aaron's Completely Official Scale) - the Valley's most sought after and esteemed self-appointed taco reviewers. 😂
We love West Valley small businesses!

Not everyone should be a homeowner.
Not everyone has what it takes. As I’ve said before, owning a home is not an entitlement. It’s an achievement.
Being a homeowner requires the ongoing discipline of saving money (in a culture that glorifies SPENDING money).
Being a homeowner requires the long term commitment of choosing a neighborhood to permanently plant roots in, rather than the carefree flexibility of 12 month leases.
Being a homeowner means maintaining your investment with your own hard earned time and money, rather than calling the landlord to complain whenever something stops working.
Being a homeowner is a test of character. It requires emotional courage and the ability to delay gratification.
BTW, here's a picture of me taken at my favorite real estate conference, the Platform Marketing Mastermind event, held in Naples, Florida.
Here Are 5 Things Your Lender Doesn't Want to Hear....
I just bought a new car!
I just bought a new furniture set and financed it all - it's going to look great in my new home!
I quit my job, and I'm starting my new job on Monday! Yay for new beginnings.
I forgot about all of that cash I had sitting around, so I deposited it into my account. That should help with closing, right?
I had a crazy night.... I'm calling from jail, but I'll be there at closing on Tuesday - don't worry!
While some of these may sound silly... they are REAL things that people say and do before closing on a home and they can be absolute deal breakers in the home-buying process.
If you have questions about how to become home-buyer ready, give me a call. I can tell you my tips and tricks!
Congratulations 🎉
Angelica and Adrian got married last year—and now they’re homeowners 🏡
They told me they couldn’t believe how easy and smooth the process was… and how much more doable it turned out to be than they expected. A big shoutout to their agent, Shane Saunders, for finding them an amazing deal in the neighborhood they wanted to live in!
Abe’s already excited about the extra space—and the new dog joining the family soon 🐶
I’ll say it every time… buying a home doesn’t have to be complicated. Grateful I got to help them make it happen.
Want your success story here? Give me a call and we can get you started on the journey to getting your own Ninja!!!
To celebrate our anniversary, I got Maria some more chickens!!
