In case you’ve not heard by now, this week is Independent’s Week. That means you can get 20% off at over 189 locally owned businesses in Arizona. That’s June 27th through July 4th, ya’ll.

Just get your Golden Ticket at the LFA website, print it and take it in to your favorite local shops to save big.

Thank Local First Arizona for organizing this very necessary event.

For me, it all comes down to this important quote. “Studies have shown that for every $100 spent in a locally owned business, roughly $42 remains right here in Arizona, while for the same $100 spent in a national chain store, only $13 remains here.”

Now, that’s a money quote.

I’m proud that I am an agent with John Hall & Associates, a local Arizona broker. I’m also proud to give a contribution to the local charity of your choice if you refer a client to me and that client closes on a purchase or sale of a home.

We support our economy and the local Arizona real estate market when we buy local!
