In theory, selling your home “For Sale By Owner” (FSBO) sounds great—save on commissions, control the process, and pocket more cash, right?But in reality? It rarely works that way.After 25+ years of selling homes in Arizona, I’ve seen firsthand how FSBO deals often turn into regret, lost time, and less money at the closing table. If you’re thinking of going it alone, here are the biggest reasons to rethink that strategy.1. You’re Leaving Money on the Table Most homeowners aren’t expert negotiators, market analysts, or marketing pros. FSBO homes often sell for less—not more—than homes listed by a professional Realtor.Why? Pricing mistakes Missed upgrades that could boost value Poor presentation or listing quality Fewer buyer eyes on the property 📉 Studies show FSBO homes sell for up to 1...

When Dave and Andrea started house hunting in Mesa, they met a friendly agent at an open house. He showed them around, offered advice, and even emailed them listings later that week. But a few days into working with him, Andrea asked, “Wait… is he our agent or the seller’s?”That’s where Agency Disclosure comes in.In Arizona, agency disclosure isn’t just paperwork — it’s essential for protecting your interests.What Is Agency Disclosure?Simply put, it’s a document that spells out who the real estate agent represents in a transaction. Are they working for the buyer, the seller, both, or neither? Arizona law requires this disclosure to be presented at the first substantive conversation.The Three Main Types of Representation in Arizona: Seller's AgentRepresents the seller.

When Mark and Jenna decided to buy their first home in Gilbert, Arizona, they thought the hardest part was over. They’d saved for the down payment, got pre-qualified, and found the perfect 3-bedroom home close to Jenna’s work and Mark’s favorite golf course. But what they didn’t expect was how crucial the Financing Section of the Arizona Residential Purchase Contract would be to securing that dream.Most buyers don’t read past the headlines of a contract. They trust their agent to guide them—which is why it’s so important to work with someone experienced. That financing section? It's not just boilerplate. It's your roadmap—and your safety net.Let me break it down, in plain English.Section 2: Financing – More Than Just a CheckboxIn the Arizona Residential Purchase Contract, Section 2 (Lin...

Buying a home in Arizona isn’t just about falling in love with the kitchen or backyard—it’s about protecting your investment, and that starts with due diligence.In the Arizona Residential Resale Real Estate Purchase Contract, Section 6a (Lines 213–224) outlines one of the most important parts of the transaction: the Buyer’s Inspection Period, also referred to as the Due Diligence Period.If you’re buying a home in the Phoenix Metro or East Valley, here's what you need to know—straight from someone who's been guiding clients through this for over 25 years.🔎 What Is the Due Diligence Period?This section gives the buyer a default of 10 calendar days (unless otherwise negotiated) to investigate everything they deem material to the purchase of the home. That includes: Home inspection Termite/...
