2031 N Meteorite Trail, Sun City Oro Valley Active Adult Community Home

2031 N Meteorite: Click to see lots of photos!

Welcome home to this well-loved Santa Cruz model located in beautiful, Sun City Oro Valley.  This is an active adult community with most residents 45+, and no permanent guests under 19.

The home is loaded with distinctive features from the wood flooring, remodeled and updated
kitchen, to backyard laden with citrus. You'll enjoy the open floor plan with airy space in both the combination dining/living room areas, and the great room/eat in kitchen/kitchen area. There is no carpeting in this home!

Upgrades in the past four years include all new kitchen appliances, hardwood and staggered tile flooring,  fans in garage, garage cabinetry, air conditioner, hot water heater, garage door opener. Guests can enjoy their own private, split-bedroom plan with nearby guest bath.  The Murphy bed and combination desk and drawer system stay with the home.

Enjoy your covered back patio, with wide privacy belt on this generous lot of .19 acres.  Professional landscaping includes drip system and Tangerine, Navel Orange, Grapefruit and Fig trees.  I love the Santa Catalina views from the sides and front of the home.

If you'd like to see this home, please contact me at Cara@SWDesertHomes.com or 520-909-2988 (text or call)

Additional furnishings are available through separate invoice.

Snail Mail or Email - What's in Your Business Plan?

Snail Mail or Email - What's in Your Business Plan?

We get a LOT of junk mail.  Our in-boxes are filled with spam and flyers and advertisements on a daily basis. For those of us more techno-savvy- there are filters and auto-generated disbursement into folders, but the general public - well we get it all in one plain online mailbox.

And then there's the good ole US Mail.  Our mail boxes are filled with newspaper flyers, credit card solicitations, and BILLS!  And…lately, LOTS of political STUFF.

So which way do you take your "advertising" as an agent?  Or, as in my case, which way do you distribute your monthly or quarterly-let's-stay-in-touch pamphlet sent out to your SOI? (sphere of influence)

Persuasive arguments currently favor "green", and there are lots of new companies that will help you create and distribute your monthly, bi-monthly, etc. news blurb for a fee.  Are they actually read?

Others submit that in this day of automation, a hand-written card, or personally written newsletter is warmer, more intimate, less likely to end up in the circular file.

So, which way do you go and why? I'd love to hear your comments and opinions.  Is there a best way to reach out and touch someone with your business information and current news?
