buying phoenix home: Taking a Broader View - Phoenix Home Coming Soon
- 01/04/21 09:38 AM
Monday Morning is a good time to take a broader view! We are in the final stages of listing a higher end home. I know the home very well, as well as the specific neighborhood market. I thought it would be wise to look at the broader market as this type of home is typically selling with a day or two, over list price. It's important not to overprice or underprice the home.
What did I see while looking a little further out.? I think we've got it priced perfectly. This home has an Open Floor Plan, Living Room, Family Room, … (5 comments)

buying phoenix home: Tricky Tuesday! Holiday fun!
- 11/17/20 04:20 PM
The Phoenix real estate market is hopping! Or should I say, since it's almost Thanksgiving, homes are being gobbled up faster than turkeys at the store!
We have some lovely CA buyers in town looking for their forever home which is not easy to find. What they're looking for is quite unique and at their price range, under 500k, it is a rare bird. There I did it again. Gobble! Gobble!
The good news, they've got time to look further as their CA home doesn't close until the middle of December and they've secured a temporary rental. That eases their mind and honestly mine too. … (29 comments)

buying phoenix home: Unique View - Buying Phoenix Home in Hot Market
- 10/24/20 03:32 PM
We all have our own unique way of looking at life and situations. Some would look at the chicken and say, a big chicken? Huh? What's it doing there? Others might say - wow - look at that big chicken - how cool! And there are those that would say, what chicken? But he/she WOULD notice the red rocks in the background. Does it really make any difference. Maybe....
Looking at the chicken is similar to looking at homes to buy. Some home buyers are immediately drawn to the front door and want to get inside the home, right away to see … (13 comments)

buying phoenix home: For The Right Buyer
- 07/17/17 04:22 PM
Not all homes are HGTV perfect! Let me say that once again! Not all homes are HGTV perfect! So many home buyers today expect that homes must have all the upgrades and amenities - and of course at reasonable prices. Who wouldn't want that if you actually could have it all!
My advice to home buyers is look past the few updates needed like the flooring, counter-tops etc and see the potential of the home 5 years down the road. There is the right home for every buyer if you just dig a little deeper and see the potential.

buying phoenix home: Band-Aids are for Skin, Not Real Property
- 07/16/17 04:54 PM
When buying a Phoenix area home it's very important to pick a Home Warranty company that is actually going to fix the problem and not just put a band aid on it - and some try to do just that - not good at all. Debe Maxwell, CRS has written a great article about home warranties. Give me a call if you have a question about buying a Phoenix home and which home warranty is best for your wants and needs.
Band-Aids are for Skin, Not Real Property
Don't Just Put a Band-Aid on it!

Home Sellers Think Like A Home Buyer - The WOW Factor
When home buyers start their home buying process many know what they want such as 4 bedrooms, a pool, close to schools, an open concept floor plan etc. And 9 times out of 10, one particular home 'speaks' to the home buyers which could easily tip the scale towards buying that home. I call it the WOW factor. Knowing the WOW factors of a home when selling is critical.
Think about it. How often to you hear new home buyers say - "We absolutely love our Oasis backyard and pool!" Or, "The … (42 comments)

buying phoenix home: Stay Put or Move? How to decide
- 04/15/15 01:48 AM
Stay Put or Move? How to decide
But how do you decide if you should actually move?
The first step is to consider practical reasons to consider buying a new home. What's pushing you in that direction?
Is your current home too small or too big? Is the commute to work for you, or your spouse too long? Are there property features you'd like to have like a bigger kitchen, pool (or maybe no pool)? Does the neighborhood no longer meet your wants/needs? Do you have personal reasons of why you want to move, such as a desire to be closer to family … (13 comments)

Hi - I'm looking for a Pop Tart Agent to Help Me
I got an interesting call this morning from a lady moving into Arizona. She wanted to know if a home she had seen a couple of weeks ago was still on the market. She wasn't quite sure what the address was but she knew 'kind of' where it was. Thinking fast I was pretty sure we didn't have a home listed close to that area. I asked her a few questions, and if she had seen the house at an open house or with an agent. She skirted around a … (135 comments)

Is a Final Walk Through Really Important when Buying a Phoenix Home?
Buying a Phoenix home is a process. One of the very last steps of the process is doing a final walk through at the home with your real estate agent. On occasion I have clients ask whether or not they really need to do a final walk through. The short answer - YES!
At the final walk though make sure the home is in like condition as to the day you made an offer on the home. On occasion unexpected issues may arise and the walk through will give you the … (16 comments)

How can I get a copy of a permit pulled on a home in Phoenix Arizona
Today we needed to find a permit that was pulled on a remodel done in 2008 for a Phoenix home that we have listed. It will be closing escrow in a few weeks and the buyers requested a copy of the permit (as they should). The owners have relocated to another state and don't have a copy of the permit in their file. Normally sellers will copies of their permits on hand but on occasion we need to do a little research to … (1 comments)

When do I get the keys to my new Phoenix Home?
When do I get the keys is an often asked question from my Phoenix Home Buyers. Naturally they're excited about moving in to their new home and making it their own. Many people think that they'll be able to move into the home on the day they sign the closing documents at the Title Company. But that is not how it works here in Arizona. The keys are given to the new owners after Close of Escrow in Arizona.

FAQ What Kind of House Warming Gift would my Phoenix Clients Like?
Moving into a new Phoenix home is a very special time! Working with people to buy a home is a very different job - in a way. It is very intimate time that affords me getting to know my clients well as we spend a lot of time together. Throughout the process of looking at homes and closing on the home they chose, I do take mental notes about what they like to do, what's important to them, what kind of decorating style they prefer and many other things that … (12 comments)

Good Grief - Are those buzzards flying around that Phoenix house?
Yesterday I showed long time clients of mine a few Phoenix & Glendale homes. These folks have been seriously looking for a home to downsize in, as he's retired and she hopes to retire next year or so. They just don't want a big home and huge yard to take care of anymore. That seems simple enough.
They had put a bid on another home but didn't win as they lost out to a cash buyer. Of course they were disappointed as it was a lovely home. They have … (14 comments)
