5 Reasons to Buy Now

1. Many buyers are holding off, so you have less competition in Mesa and Scottsdale.

2. There is a lot to choose from in Mesa and Scottsdale, we have record inventory.

3. Interest rates are low, buy a home and lock in a rate before they go up.

4. You can still negotiate. A lot of sellers have to sell before they lose their home to foreclosure or other life changing events (death, job transfer, etc.).

5. The weather is nice, it will get hot soon. When it's hot, who want to get in and out of the car to look at homes?

Do's and Dont's When Choosing a Real Estate Agent

Choosing a real estate agent is one of the most important steps in finding your dream home. If you and your agent don't "hit it off", you will not have a good experience.

Do choose a licensed real estate agent
Do chose a real estate agent who knows the area you want to live in.
Do chose someone you can relate to.
Don't be afraid to ask questions of the agent regarding their expertise, length of time in real estate, etc.
Don't chose an agent who doesn't belong to their local MLS.
Don't chose a part-time real estate agent.

I have been licensed since 2000 in the state of Arizona, I belong to ARMLS (our local MLS), and I do work full-time as a real estate agent. I know the market in the East Valley and look forward to serving your real estate needs.

Please call or e-mail me, ask me anything you want to know about how I do business and I will be happy to answer all your questions.

Have we hit the bottom?

Possibly, homes in escrow are up 30% compared to last month. Only time will tell if the bottom has been reached. But, no need to kick yourself if you didn't get in at the "peak" time. There are still great homes out there just waiting for someone like you to call them "home".

Make sure you choose a licensed realtor who knows the area you want to live in. Make sure that the professional you have chosen is a full-time realtor, as that person will be focused on what it best for you and what your needs are.

Me, I'm a full-time realtor who has been in the business for over 7 years. I do know the East Valley and am committed to what is best for you and your family.

Please contact me at 480-529-2693 and allow me the privilege of helping you find the home of your dreams.
