One of the Valley's Best Kept Secrets In my opinion, South Phoenix is one of the valley's best kept secrets. Living here has so many benefits.

First Time Home Seller in Phoenix, AZ
First Time Home Seller in Phoenix, AZ Are you a first time home seller? The process for selling is similar to the buying process. You can try and do it yourself as a For Sale By Owner listing.

South Phoenix Restaurants
South Phoenix Restaurants The selection of South Phoenix Restaurants has increased over the years. I have lived in South Phoenix since 1981. Even though eating out was not a frequent thing for our family, I do remember being aware that there were just a few places to choose from. I feel like there is still room for so much more here.

Nonetheless, there are some pretty fabulous places to choose from if you are looking to go out to eat. Mexican food … [Read more...]
Are You Leaving Money on the Table?
Are you leaving money on the table? There are several investors out there buying properties for cash. They offer a quick close and little to no contingencies. Keep in mind that if the private investor's goal is to buy properties to then turn around and list them for sale, you may be leaving money on the table. Our current real estate market has so many moving parts. A part of it is investors calling homeowners asking if they are interested in selling. I get calls and text messages every single week asking me if I would like to sell my home. I am positive that I am not the only person that finds this practice … [Read more...]
May 2020 Phoenix Market Snapshot
May 2020 Phoenix Market Snapshot Here is the May 2020 Phoenix Market Snapshot. Some of our Phoenix neighborhoods are performing as very strong sellers markets.
