September 2020

Well friends and followers here we are in September. Can you believe it? Almost three quarters of the year gone! And what a year it has been. We have all been through challenges and obstacles like we never could have imagined. Our local businesses have been hit hard, some reduced to minimum and some closed completely. As some restrictions are eased, a lot of the local stores and restaurants are open and operating within CDC guidelines so please try to get out and support them. You will see more sidewalk and patio dining options available as our local merchants get creative on how to best serve their clientele who are out and about  enjoying beautiful Prescott. Remember to be safe and check out our Community Connection at Theresadesoto.com. for local events and information. If you are from out of town come on out to Prescott, “Everybody’s Hometown” for a visit. Already here, we are glad you came. Thinking about staying? We can help you find your dream home, sell your current home, or both!

Remember we are your friendly hometown Realtors

We are making dreams come true . . . one home at a time!

…Born into the world

Of wonderful September

The sapphire skies live on

Throughout this wonderful September
