How The 85254 Zip Code Became Magic

It was 1997 and JoAnn and I were brand new agents. Our friend Donna wanted to make an offer on Sharon Drive. The listing agent was Dan and he sent us back a counter offer. The price was acceptable but Dan wrote in “Buyer must acknowledge that while this property has a Scottsdale address, 85254 isn’t all Scottsdale and this home is actually in The City of Phoenix.” Clearly, Dan had this issue come up before and not in a good way. I thought about it and said, “A lot of people would like to have a Scottsdale address without paying Scottsdale rates.” The Magic Zip Code was born. In 85254 you get a Scottsdale Address, Phoenix Taxes, Zoning, Utilities, Building Codes, and Paradise Valley Schools. It’s Magic!
