Any foodie worth his salt (see what we did there?!) wouldn’t miss the annual Scottsdale Culinary Festival. Held in April of each year, the festival has grown from a small event held in the atrium of Scottsdale’s Performing Arts Center to a premier culinary extravaganza that attracts more than 30,000 people from all over the world. Now in its 40th year, the Scottsdale Culinary Festival is the longest-running culinary festival in the nation. Presented by the Scottsdale League for the Arts, the festival is a primary source of grant funding for the nonprofit. Dedicated to supporting the arts and arts education programs here in the TO EPICUREAN Valley, the League awards 100% of the net funds to such organizations as the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts and the Scottsdale Unified School District. Overall, the league has awarded more than $4 million to non-profit arts entities throughout Maricopa County. Abundant sunshine, delicious aromas, lively socializing and toe-tapping live music greet guests at the Festival’s signature two-day event, the Great Arizona Picnic
(April 14 & 15). Here you’ll meander through acres of tents set up to offer tastings from acclaimed Valley restaurants, cooking demonstrations, and appearances from celebrity chefs. You’ll also find cocktail stations within the grounds and a separate Beer Garden offering tastings of brews both local and from afar. Surrounding the weekend of the picnic, the League presents a handful of culinary events each year. The Burger Battle (held in March this year) gives guests a ballot and unlimited burger tastings from the many restaurants competing for the big win. The Cocktail Society (April 13) is the festival’s chic and trendy offering EXPLORING! with complimentary cocktails and unlimited fine food tastings accompanied by live art, live entertainment and aerial bartenders! Putting a finishing bow on the festival is the Best of the Fest (April 15) event. As the Festival’s grand finale, the five-course, wine-paired dinner is prepared tableside for diners by a local, renowned chef. With all these delicious culinary affairs at-hand, it’s no wonder Scottsdale is a gourmand’s dream! ScottsdaleFest.org

Because most real estate transactions involve large sums of money and what may seem like endless amounts of documents, the escrow process is filled with minute details, step-by-step procedures and many opportunities for challenges.
Be proactive. If you are the seller, inform the escrow officer well in advance if there are any liens or judgments encumbering the property. If you are the buyer, inform your lender about any changes to employment, income, debt ratios or credit rating that may have occurred during the escrow process. Buyers also should have your homeowners’ insurance policy all set up and ready to take effect as soon as you close escrow. Start this process early, as some homes may have insurability issues or require special coverage that could cause delay.

In the simplest of terms, escrow is a process that provides for a fair and equitable transfer of real estate property from one party to another. To facilitate that goal, escrow provides the means for depositing – with a neutral third party, the escrow officer – the funds, documentation and instructions necessary to complete the sale.

For anyone that has bought or sold real estate before, they know firsthand that the escrow process can be the most nerve-racking element of the entire transaction. But it certainly doesn’t have to be.
