This is a series of articles profiling some of the residents who live and work in the South Mountain/Laveen Villages. In keeping with the original format of the Villager to only print the positive, we will attempt to acknowledge some of the great folks that have contributed so much to our lives and are hopefully role models for all of us. There were a whole bunch of folks that came together to make the following possible. We thank them all.
There is a lady in our Village that I have the privilege of calling my friend and is one of the kindness people I know. You have seen her picture in the Villager for years and other print media in our Village. Maybe you have received one of her postcards. Maybe you have seen her at the annual Haunted Hayride, local parades, Pioneer luncheon, South Mountain Village Clean & Beautiful event picking up trash or cooking or other local events. Maybe she has assisted you in buying or selling your property. Maybe you have seen her on the side of her company moving van. Yes, she has her own moving van that is available for folks to use if they are one of her clients and need a way to move their personal items after a purchase or sale of their home. It is also available for church’s and non-profits.
She has a very busy professional life, but somehow finds time to volunteer in our Village. She is on the Board of the South Mountain Village Clean & Beautiful, Co, Treasurer (and yes she does pick up trash), a member of the South Mountain Community College Advisory Board, South Mountain/Laveen Chamber Advisory Board, was the president of the South Mountain/Laveen Chamber and has recently volunteered to join and support the South Mountain/Laveen Village Festival of Thanksgiving Committee and agreed to let the committee use space in her office building located at 3540 East Baseline for meetings and also her administrative staff for support. She has written many informative articles for the Villager and the South Mountain District News about real estate. She is well versed in short sales, bankruptcies, and anything that has to do with today’s ever changing real estate market.
She has lived in our Village about 20 years, in that time she has made a big difference in many folk’s lives. She graduated from ASU and about fifteen years ago started her own business. By now you probably have guess that I am talking about Mrs. Carlie Back, of the Carlie Back Team with Keller Williams Lifestyle Realty. You know the “How Fast Can You Say Sold” lady (602-305-9033 or go to her web site at www carlieback.com). I could write pages about Carlie, but unfortunately I have my print limitations.
Thank you Carlie for being my dear friend and for everything you do for our Village. God Bless the South Mountain Community College and the City of Phoenix and God Bless America and God Bless the South Mountain/Laveen Village’s.
