Foothills Mall Store Opens
A long over due entry finally arrives!
Our GBA Foothills Mall store opened in October. With the exception of the first couple of weeks, we have been very busy! I've averaged about 3 -4 gold parties a week. I've traveled all over the state. It's been great! I absolutely love it.
Our store has been complimented with many repeat customers and referrals. I meet some of the greatest people!
In November I did a television interview with the local CBS affiliate which aired on the morning news. Take a look CLICK
Gold and Silver are still at an all time high. It's a great time to sell if you have broken or unwanted Gold, Silver or Platinum. Most people forget that we buy Sterling Silver. That would includ coins minted before 1965 (dimes, quarters, half dollars and silver dollars). Also, flatware, serving dishes, vanity sets (comb, brush & mirror).
Also, keep in mind that a Fundraiser Gold Party is a great way to raise money for a loved one, school, church, sports team, etc. Ask me about how together we can raise money for your favorite charity or Fundraiser event.

Great time to sell!
Wow! Have you seen the market price lately? Gold is over $1000, Silver is hovering around $17 and Platinum is over $1300! It's a great time to sell!
We are still busy in our hotel events in Oro Valley Arizona. I'm currently working on our new mall location. That's due to open October 1st.
The biggest collection I've seen so far was when Steve and I were on the road. We were in Idaho and a man came in with the biggest Gold collection I'd ever seen. He had gold nuggets from small to large. They were all in little gemstone capsules. Must have been 3 or 4 rows of about 12 in each row. He also had collections of numismatic American gold eagle coins. I believe he had every gold eagle ever made! It was a VERY NICE collection! I wish I would have taken photos.
Have questions about your Gold, Silver or Platinum? Sent me a note.

"Life is a Journey" I always say. Little did I know that my journey to Arizona in hopes to find gold in the ground would lead me to find GOLD..... but in a different way!
April, 2009, marked eight years I’ve bought and sold Real Estate in the Houston Metropolitan areas. Coming out of a 15 year career in television in 2001, it was a little scary for me to venture out into a new career as a Real Estate Agent. It was a big step for me and it proved to be a good one. I enjoyed selling real estate so much that I decided to let everyone I came in contact with know that “I Love What I Do!”. This became my motto and it stayed with me throughout my real estate career. I’ve had clients confirm that statement by telling me “you really do love what you do!”. To me, that was a great compliment as doing what you truly love doing results in a happy person and happy clients.
I met many wonderful people who started out as clients and ended up as friends. It's been a great pleasure helping these people achieve a goal in finding their "dream" home.
As a believer that all things happen for a reason, my life’s journey has taken me down a different path. Closing the door to my real estate career was tough however as the doors to a different journey continued opening, it was plain to see that the season for me as a real estate agent in the Houston
My wonderful partner Steve and I came to Arizona in the fall of 2009 to search the job market and seek out opportunity in this area. Steve has a passion for Gold mining and could not ever totally settle down in Houston as Arizona (which he calls "his state") was ever calling him back.
I was let to a classified ad that proved to be the most exciting job I've ever had. Searching for gold, but not in the way of mining. That job had us traveling around the country as "modern day treasure hunters", purchasing coins, precious metals and other valuables. I saw places I'd never seen before. America truly has some beautiful country!
We traveled the beautiful Pacific coast of Oregon, drove through a tree in the Redwood Forest, traveled through snow covered paths of the Cascade Mountains and Dixie National Forest. We've seen the 2nd largest water fall in the country, Multnomah Falls and the majestic Vermillion Cliffs in northern Arizona. And the journey continues!
That experience led me to even greater opportunities. I'm now working with a larger company that's even more exciting! Doing what I enjoy so much and by way of parties!! And not just parties, but parties where everyone walks out with extra money! That's a win-win situation for everyone. How great is that?!
You have a question about precious metals? I'd be happy to help. Just leave a note.
Next blog entry....... the most exciting thing I've bought so far!
