Buyer & Investor Quick Overview

Buying a home in Arizona, especially the Valley of The Sun, known locally as The Valley, or also known as the Phoenix area, is pretty straightforward now days. Most real estate contracts are standardized by the Arizona Association of Realtors (AAR) with the exception of new homes built by Builders. Builders tend to have their own formatted contracts and procedures. Having a Realtor such as myself represent you, the Buyer or Investor, is a very wise idea! Some of the benefits would be the following:

• Experienced at locating and evaluating homes using the latest data collection and mobile technology.

• Numerous tools to evaluate and negotiate the best price and terms.

• Preparing and prompt submission of a complete offer.
  

• Experience and access to professionals to evaluate loans and financing options.

• Facilitating the process of escrow, inspections, disclosures, contract compliance, and the resolving of unique issues.

• Generally paid as part of the Seller’s Agent’s commission, NOT from the Buyer / Investor!
  

• I personally represent YOU, not the interests of the Seller, and therefore hold myself to the highest ethical standards as YOUR Agent.

• Having lived in Arizona all my life, I have extensive knowledge of the various Valley communities especially the Queen Creek and San Tan Valley areas.

• I have experience in Distressed Properties, Investor Properties, and provide Market Analysis.
• I hold to a high standard of ethical practices.
• I personally seek to have my Clients feel like they are working with the Best Realtor Ever!
