If you’re thinking about buying a home in Arizona, let me share something I’ve learned in over 25 years of helping people just like you: who you choose to represent you matters.And it starts with one important step — signing a Buyer-Broker Agreement.Let me break it down for you.What Is a Buyer-Broker Agreement?It’s a formal agreement between you (the buyer) and me (your agent) that outlines how I’ll represent you during the home buying process. It spells out my duties to you, how long we’ll work together, and how compensation is handled (usually paid by the seller — not you).It’s not about locking you in. It’s about leveling the playing field.Because here’s the truth: the listing agent works for the seller. Their job is to get the best price and terms for the seller — not for you.That’s... 05/24/2025

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... 05/12/2025

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.

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... 05/10/2025
