Sentinel Peak in Tucson, Arizona
Travel with me to Sentinel Peak in Tucson, Arizona where I explore this iconic landmark's history and influence upon the city. The peak is popularly known as A Mountain because of the giant A on its side for the University of Arizona.
Additional Note: Solomon Warner erected a flourmill on the slope of Sentinel Peak between 1874-75. This mill led some people to refer to Sentinel Peak as Warner's Mill during that time.

I need to say a very big Thank You to Chris of Epic Adventure Rides. He dedicated two days of his time to helping us film around Page, Arizona. Many of the shots you see in this video would not have been possible without his help. If you're in Page, I highly recommend reaching out to him and going on an Epic Adventure:
For our 12th video in our Blank by Drone series, we bring you to the dramatic landscapes of Arizona! It has been almost a year and a half since our last Blank by Drone video, but we're happy we FINALLY got around to editing this one.
We filmed this on the tail end of our 14-month RV trip around the country. We were driving from California back to Maryland, and spent about a week in Arizona. It is such a beautiful state, and we were able to witness some pretty dramatic weather during our time there as well.
If you have the opportunity to travel to Arizona, you should do it! Make sure you give yourself enough time to take it in and enjoy it.

Selling
There are no other agents in Arizona who can keep up with Paul and Jodi Pelczarski's marketing tools and skills to get your home sold for the best price possible. In 1996 they were one of the first Realtors to use their own photography to promote their listings. In 1997 they were one of the first Realtors to use multiple photographs for their listings and to this day they still use the maximum number of photos to market their listings. In 1998 They were one of the first Realtors to use Virtual Tours to showcase their listings. They are one of the first Realtors to use multiple websites, multiple video posting sites, security cameras (day and night vision), individual stand-alone property websites, and post their videos on over 900 Real Estate websites on 4 continents, over 25 countries, in over 11 languages. The more Buyers we can have looking at our listings the more offers we will receive. Multiple offers will create a bidding war and our listing sells for more. Our record is 52 contracts at one time on the same home. Our goal for working with our Buyers is the same as working with our Sellers. We want to exceed your expectations!
