June! Summer!
My favorite time here in Prescott, Everybody’s Hometown! There is always something going on at the Courthouse Square and around town. You can check it all out at our Community Connection on the website, Theresadesoto.com. The weather is great and the local businesses are welcoming everyone to shop, dine or just come in and browse. And if you are browsing for a home call The deSoto Team. We are your Friendly Hometown Realtors and we are ready to help find your dream home, sell your current home…. or both!
Making dreams come true…..one home at a time.
It is the month of June,
The month of leaves and roses,
When pleasant sights salute the eyes
And pleasant scents the noses.”
