Recently, I was invited to the Fox 10 studios to talk about real estate and my business. Interviews are always kind of interesting and it is interesting to see the final, edited version. I had a really good time shooting this and want to thank Fox for the opportunity to talk about real estate with them.
This blog is a place for me to share random thoughts, photos, real estate info, community events and other fun stuff! It is kind of a playground for a geek that happens to enjoy posting stuff online. My "normal" blogging can be found at Nickbastian.com and at RailLife.com/blog - Please feel free to follow along. Remember, if you know someone in the market to buy or sell real estate (anywhere in the United States) tell them to "Just Call Nick!" at 602-803-NICK (6425) - Thanks!

Tempe Ribbon Cutting at Fidelity National Title
I was really glad to have been invited to the ribbon cutting to celebrate Fidelity National Title's relocation to the Hayden Ferry Lakeside building. This is one of the most impressive spaces around and they occupy the entire 11th floor of this gorgeous building. As you cross the Mill Avenue Bridge or pass by on the freeway on the North side of the lake, you can't help but look at these beautiful buildings. Basically, you have the commercial space closer to the bridge and the residential towers of Bridgeview and Edgewater directly to the East. Talk about a cool lifestyle! Imagine working in one of these buildings and living in the residential towers? This is some of Arizona's finest urban design and is located just north of the Mill Avenue District's light rail stop at 3rd St/Mill Avenue.
Mayor Hallman spoke and truly seemed to love having Fidelity move their corporate offices from the 24th St and Camelback location. I have talked to several Fidelity employees and they seem to love the new building and the location. I spoke with marketing representative Jennifer Weller about how fun it will be to take the light rail to a baseball or basketball game while not having to fight traffic or find parking.
Overall, it was a great night with some nice people, some really good food and a lot of celebrating.

Nick Bastian Joins Tempe Realty Executives Office
After 16 years in the real estate business, I feel more proud of my job and enthusiastic of my future business than ever before. Yesterday, after a long process, I made a decision to join what I feel is the best real estate firm in Arizona. That firm is Realty Executives. Over the past couple of months, I have weighed my options very carefully and have met formally and informally with several brokers, large and small. While my normal business practices will not change much and most of you will not notice a difference, I believe the corporate structure, the ability to "run my own business" and the convenience of many valley wide offices will help me to serve my clients even better in the future. My phone number, email address and web site address will all remain the same and this will be a VERY smooth transition for all of us. It is late and I have had a very long couple of days but I will be updating more in the near future. Please feel free to contact me at any time should you have any questions.
The real estate market has changed and I have decided to embrace change while growing my business. I am very happy to make this announcement and look forward to talking with you soon. Thanks again for your continued support!
