Sold!

It's not easy for our client to walk away from a view like this, but if you never move, the view never changes.

Congratulations, Jack, and best wishes in your new adventure.

Look, I get it. Your mom, best friend, or co-worker just got their real estate license. You feel an obligation to help them out.

I'm not here to argue that agents aren't interchangeable.

I'm not here to argue that you will cost yourself money and headaches in the most significant business transaction of your life by hiring the wrong person for the job.

I will never shame anyone for loyalty. It's a rare commodity.

I'm here to assure you that I will still be here for the next transaction if it doesn't work out with them, or if they leave the business.

In a field with an 87% failure rate (that's how many agents fail to renew their licenses within five years of entering the business), I've been actively licensed to sell real estate in Arizona since 1999. With no stops or interruptions. In good markets and historically bad.

I've been here for it all.

Don't be ashamed or embarrassed about helping a friend or family member launch their career.

Just keep me in mind if they aren't still actively selling when it's time for the next move.

Under Contract!

Yes, you can sell a house in the middle of summer in Scottsdale. There may be fewer lookers out there when the mercury in your thermometer is in anything but retrograde, but the ones out there looking in the scorching heat are for real.

Fewer, but more productive showings. Many who don't want to uproot their kids during the school year are eager to pull the trigger over the break. Those buyers are absolutely for real and in a time crunch.

Don't be scared to list in the summer, homie!

PSA from your REALTOR:

There is nothing wrong with setting your thermostat to 82 during the summer to save money on your power bill.

Unless you are trying to sell your house.

Just sold in McCormick Ranch!

This one is bittersweet as we say goodbye to a family friend who closes the chapter on his time in Scottsdale, and opens a new one in Colorado.

All the best and thank you for your trust, Ben. It has been a privilege to facilitate this big transition.
