Question: My sister and I both live in California. Our mother recently passed away. My sister is an executive in the TV industry, so I am now in charge of selling our family home in central Phoenix. My sister and I both went to Xavier High School about 2 miles away, so we know some of our neighbors. One of our neighbors said that our family home is worth at least $2 million. I still have two young children, and I will only be able to come back to Phoenix occasionally. I hired a 24-hour security company to protect the home, but what is the next step to sell the home? Answer: The next step is to hire a good real estate agent. The football coach Vince Lombardi once famously said that “winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.” Hiring a good agent now is the “only thing,” especially because you and your sister live in California. You and your sister should interview at least three agents, even if the interviews are by Zoom. What to know: Can your neighbor make you pay for a boundary wall in Arizona?

For decades, Arizona’s election and voting policies have been shaped largely by Republicans. After Democrats’ earth-shattering wins in the 2026 election, that’s about to change. Democrats have flipped the Arizona Legislature, with control of at least 37 of 60 seats in the House of Representatives and 20 of 30 seats in the Senate, according to the Associated Press. Meanwhile, Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs sailed to a second term on election night, alongside Democratic Secretary of State Adrian Fontes and Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes. It’s been six decades since the party held both legislative chambers and the governor’s office. In recent years, a GOP legislative majority has pushed a slew of election laws aimed at improving voter confidence by speeding up vote counting, restricting mail voting, and tightening registration rules. Those changes often found inspiration from election conspiracies that proliferated in response to President Donald Trump’s loss in 2020. The new majority is likely to have a vastly different agenda. Votebeat spoke to legislators with experience on election-related committees, party officials, and voting rights advocates to
