I live in Phoenix AZ and I am currently taking my pre licensing classes and need to obtain a part time job. I really would love to find a brokerage that would put me to work now, even if it was just to be a assistant or just general office duties until I receive me certification. I really would appreciate any feed back from anyone familiar with or, currently working in the real estate profession. Thanks in advance!

Currently I am staying at a motel, paying by the week.

When I first came here, I could call room to room, directly from my room. Now when I try to do this I get a busy signal. I called the front desk from my cell and asked why this is happening? Why cant I call room to room. I was told that there is a block on room to room calls and ALL calls MUST go through the switchboard.

After speaking with a wife of an employee here, she tells me that its the manager of the hotel. The employees live here on the property and this manager doesn’t want employees calling each other in their rooms with her (the manager) not knowing about it. Therefore all calls MUST go through the switchboard. So because of this, all guests must also be forced to place room to room calls, through the front desk as well.

What the heck? I’ve never heard of such a thing before!

Is this invasion of privacy? What right does anyone have to monitor who or when Im calling?

Can I complain about this and if so, who do I contact?

This is a motel in Phoenix, AZ. As far as I can tell, its a single motel….not a chain and has no corporate office to call.

Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this, I appreciate your time.
I dont want to check out. I want to be able to call room to room without invasion of my privacy. Isn’t there some law against what this manager is doing?

If they protest about people breaking laws, shouldn’t they be following them to?

See for yourself.

This video that was shot in Phoenix, AZ at an immigration rally clearly shows the anti-immigration biker gang turning around and heading westbound making loud noises with their motorcycles in front of the pro-immigrant protesters. But to turn around and keep in their group, they were using the parking lot of a local business as their private driveway and to avoid the traffic light.

So, what the videos show is them breaking the law. Everyone who has had to study for a driver’s test knows that it is illegal to cut through private property to avoid an intersection or traffic: A.R.S. 28-651 states: "A person shall not drive on or through any private property, road or driveway to avoid obedience to traffic rules or traffic control devices."
Do you think they are hyprocrites?
A CRIME IS A CRIME! If they want laws to followed, then they should set a good example regardless of the measurement.
J. Reacher, it’s not me reporting you! I can take criticism and personal insults un-like some antis on here.
EXACTLY!!!!
WHAT PART OF ILLEGAL DON’T YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND!

My property manager told me that the window glass was damaged, probably kids in the neighborhood throw the rocks. From the picture she sent to me there is a big hole.
In this case, should I pay the cost to replace the window?
It a double pane window, how much roughly to replace the glass in Phoenix, AZ?
Thanks a lot

PHOENIX, AZ – Authorities say investigators with the Illegal Immigration Prevention and Apprehension Co-op Team recently captured eight human smugglers and rescued 23 human smuggling victims from Phoenix and Glendale drop houses.

IIMPACT investigators arrested Salvador Rodriquez, Edward Geraldo-Ramirez, Freddy Hernandez, Santiago Bermudez-Gomez, Luis Quezada, Julio Camargo-Vasquez for their alleged involvement in human smuggling schemes and drop houses in the past month, according to a Tuesday news release.

The arrests were made during two separate human smuggling incidents on November 20 and December 6.

On November 20, investigators responded to a tip from a relative of a human smuggling victim after she paid ,000 to human smugglers to “secure her relatives’ release.”

Authorities located the suspected drop house at 4151 West Earll Drive in Phoenix and numerous suspects reportedly tried to run from the residence.

Three suspects, later identified as Camargo-Vasquez, Quezada, and Bermudez-Gomez, were located and arrested while 15 victims were found inside the home, officials say.

Investigators also found a stolen police-issue handgun and two cell phones, presumably to call relatives for ransom money, according to authorities.

Officials reportedly later found that the victims were kept in a back room where reverse deadbolts were implemented on the door.

Camargo-Vasquez, Quezada, and Bermudez-Gomez are currently facing charges of human smuggling.

The second incident, on December 6, was also the result of a tip IIMPACT personnel received regarding a Mexican national being held against his will in a suspected drop house.

Authorities located the suspected drop house at 5130 North 68th Avenue in Glendale and used the aid of a SWAT team to investigate the property.

Investigators caught two suspects who attempted to flee the residence and another in the driveway of the home; all were later identified as Rodriquez, Geraldo-Ramirez, and Hernandez, according to authorities.

Eight undocumented immigrants were found inside the house as well as AK-47 rifles, four handguns, and cell phones used for ransom demands, officials say.

According to authorities, the victims told investigators that the suspects took their valuables and money, threatened them with firearms, and told them that they would kill the undocumented immigrants if they spoke with police.

Investigators later reportedly discovered that the rooms the undocumented immigrants were kept in were fortified with planks of wood over the windows to prevent any attempts to escape.

Salvador Rodriquez, Edward Geraldo-Ramirez, Freddy Hernandez are currently facing charges of kidnapping, extortion, armed robbery, human smuggling, and misconduct involving weapons.

i’m doing an addition to my house (bath and two bedrooms). i live in phoenix, az. would i be okay ordering lumber (2x6s, 2x4s, 4x6s, 4x8s) from home depot, or should i go to specific lumber companies (schuck, alliance lumber, or heldt -for those in arizona)? not sure if the quality of wood is the same or not. price wise, is home depot known to be higher priced than lumber companies? i could research this a bit, but this way is quicker.

My friend in Phoenix, AZ is thinking of foreclosing his house. The price fell down by 40% since he bought it in 2006. He has no financial trouble but wondering does it still make sense to pay such a high monthly mortgage on his devalued home. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
