THE RANCH FORECADDIE – AUGUST 2026

August is traditionally the hottest and most humid month of the year. It is also the quietest at the golf course as many residents travel somewhere seeking a cooler climate. For those that will be in town, please remember to hydrate and limit your time in the sun! Enjoy the evening lightning shows of the monsoon.

Notes:  We had a very successful closure last week, focusing our practices on greens, fairways and roughs. During this time our focus is on performing as much surface disruption for thatch removal and decompaction as possible – the course is not in perfect condition as it will take about two weeks to recover. This will be the last major disruption to the fairways so expect them to be in peak condition for the rest of the season.

Testimonials

Douglas Sedam

Doug Sedam was awesome to work with and I learned a great deal about both selling and buying a home. Both transactions were seamless in that what occurred was exactly according to the plan Doug originally proposed.

John C.

Douglas Sedam

We were referred to Doug Sedam by a close friend of ours that has used his services many times before.  Working with Doug was an incredible experience and he is now our realtor for life!

Karen S.

Douglas Sedam

Doug Sedam was a joy to work with during the sale of our home. We had never sold a home before and Doug guided us through every step of the process to what was a very close of escrow.  We are truly grateful for all the hard work that Doug did in getting us out of a home that we thought had very little equity.  He was able to get us top dollar for our home.  He did this by effectively marketing the home, and bringing a buyer, which resulted in an even greater reduction in total commissions paid out.

Jennifer H.

Lynn Baker

Lynn Baker constantly works hard for the sale of our home.  His professionalism is exhibited by his manners with us and the buyers coming to the numerous Open Houses he holds.  Always a positive attitude, no hard sell, just an ethical, down to earth common-sense approach to the outcome we all want.  As his clients we could not ask for anything more.  Both my wife and I highly recommend Lynn and SBRanchRealty for all your real estate needs.

Don and Betty S.

Douglas Sedam

Doug came to our home here in SaddleBrooke Ranch to meet with us.  He initially previewed our home, and then conducted a very detailed listing presentation. At the end of his listing presentation, he told us he thought that he had a buyer that would be very interested in our home.  Within 4-days’ time our home was in escrow at “full price”, and we closed 30-days later!   The buyer also bought a great deal our furniture and the golf cart as well, all making our move out-of-state even easier for us.  We highly recommend Douglas Sedam if you are considering listing your home here at the “Ranch”.

Ricard and Barbara K.

Lynn Baker

My agent was Lynn Baker, he was very knowledgeable of the current market trends. He was very helpful to me on the sale of my home. He is a professional in every aspect of the real estate business.  He guided me through every aspect of the transaction from listing to closing. He would respond quickly if I sent him a text message or called him. Top notch customer service! Would definitely use the SBRanchRealty team in the future and have Lynn Baker as my agent.

Louise M.

Douglas Sedam

Within days of listing our home, Doug showed our home to one of his clients – who fell in love with our home.  We were in escrow within the week and we saved over $21,000 in commission by Doug representing both parties.  The caveat to all this is that Doug negotiated a 6-month “rent-back” as our new home in Colorado was not done yet!  Winner-Winner for us and the buyers!  Great job Doug!

Terry B.

Douglas Sedam

We were referred to Doug Sedam by neighbors here at SaddleBrooke Ranch as they had sold their home and then purchased another as they a bigger home for all their family to come for the holidays.  They were very happy on both the transactions that he helped them on. We needed to relocate back to the mid-west to be closer to our family and needed to sale and move in a hurry. Doug put “the pedal to the metal” and got us where we needed to be in just 45-days.  We couldn’t have done it without him!

Thomas S.

Lynn Baker

Lynn Baker has been so wonderful to work with.  He has listed our home here in Arizona and is doing a fabulous job.  We actually own a Real Estate company in Oregon and know a great agent when we find one.  Lynn is such an honest and hard-working Realtor.  Look no further…he’s your man!

Chris and Sharon O.

Douglas Sedam

Douglas Sedam and Lynn Baker were our listing agents on the home we just recently sold in SaddleBrooke.  We have never had, in all of our real estate endeavors, such a high level of customer services plus the end result of selling our home in short order.  We highly recommend Douglas and Lynn at SBranchRealty!

Micheal & Donna W.

Douglas Sedam Of SBRanchRealty.com was the BEST Real Estate Agent we ever used!

We met Douglas Sedam at an Open House in SaddleBrooke Ranch that he was hosting.  Within minutes of talking with him, my husband and I knew that this was going to be our real estate agent, in the process we were going through, that being retiring and moving to a 55+ community.  Being that Douglas and his wife Melanie had lived in the SaddleBrooke Ranch Community for the previous 4+ years he had a great deal of insight as to what this community was really like and also gave us detailed information concerning the real estate market, and then discussing with us what exactly we were looking for in a home.  Needless to say, we just recently moved into our retirement DREAM HOME!  We highly recommend Douglas Sedam of SBRanchRealty.com!

Eilene K.

Douglas is phenomenal in his marketing skills.

Douglas met with both my wife and I, and my mother that lived in a nearby community as we were both planning to re-locate to California.  He listed my mother’s home and had it in escrow within 3-weeks and as soon as that occurred he listing our home and had it in escrow before it went on the market!

Mark M.

Douglas represented both sellers and buyers on a single transaction.

Douglas had alerted us about “dual agency” and stated that he represented both sellers (us) and buyers on about 35% of his listings and if this occurred, he would reduce his commission on the buyer’s side by 25%. He did just that and saved us and additional ~$4650 in the process.  We couldn’t be happier with his service.

Dave B.

 

 

Douglas’ marketing of our home was incredible.

When Douglas sat down with us and did his listing presentation, he went through a long list of all the things he would do to get our house on the market, how he would market it on a national basis, and the follow-through once in escrow.  We made a decision to list our home with him “on-the-spot” and he never let us down and sold our home in a timely manner.
