When you are thinking about buying or selling a house, it can be hard to pick the agent that you want to work with. There are an awful lot of us to choose between, and at the start you may not even know what qualities you are looking for. In my experience, the most important thing is to find an agent you trust who you feel comfortable talking to. Even the smoothest transactions can have stressful moments, and you need to know that you can turn to your agent for sound advice at any time.
It's also good to find an agent who has plenty of experience to guide you through the process, who pays attention to the many small details of the contract that protect your investment, and who brings a positive and problem-solving attitude to the process. If you are thinking about buying or selling a home here in the Valley, or if you just have questions about the local real estate market, I hope that you will find this site to be helpful and informative.
And I hope you'll have some fun browsing around.

Buying a house can be a wonderful adventure, like a grown-up version of an obstacle course or scavenger hunt with a great prize waiting for you at the end.
But if you set off on your adventure before you are really prepared for the challenges you will face, you may end up feeling more frustrated than exhilarated.
Like all good grown-up games, it's a huge help to understand the rules, and develop a strategy, before you start playing.
It's an old real estate joke that the three most important things when buying a house are location, location, and location, but I think it's easier to start off by thinking about "where, what, and how much."

That, of course, is every home seller's goal.
But the best path to follow to reach that goal isn't always clear.
Should you try to hold out for the highest sales price possible?
Should you try to get your home sold as quickly as possible?
Trying to balance the competing interests of time & money is the key to a successful sale process.
Any house will sell in a hurry if the price is set low enough.
And a house will sell for any price if you can afford to wait (for years, in some cases!).
Selling a house is all about getting the best information available, and crafting a specific plan to achieve your goals.

For most people, buying a home is a huge decision, and a very emotional process.
It's more about plans & dreams than dollars & cents, but even so it's often the largest financial transaction most of us will ever be involved in.
And very few of us are fortunate enough to be able to pay cash for a home, so almost every home purchase involves a mortgage loan.
As such, it is critically important that you get accurate & reliable information about how much you can afford to borrow.
Indeed, the new Arizona Residential Purchase Contract requires that you include information about your loan program when you make an offer, so you really can't get very far in the purchase process until you've researched your loan.

Thanks again for all your hard work on our behalf.
We can honestly say that you made the process a lot easier and clearer than it could have been.
It is not often that you find business people who both know what they are doing and actually try to do what is best for the client, versus what is best for their own pocketbook.
Thank you for doing both of those!
We appreciated working with you so much.
Your attention to detail and incredible dedication to following through on everything was a comforting anchor during our stormy time.
