Remodeled and ready for YOU!

the location is great, near I-17 and Loop-101 makes it easy to shopping and Entertainment at Deer Valley Shopping Center, Arrowhead, Desert Ridge and Nortera all within minutes of your new home. And if location isn’t a big deal, you love the fact that this was a recently remodeled and upgraded home. New flooring, new paint, new light fixtures and plumbing fixtures, topped off with new grass in the backyard to accent the full length covered patio. Hey, did I mention that all the appliances (including washer and dryer) are included and they are also newer? This is a 3 bedroom, 2 full bathroom split floor plan home. It’s a newer home with a 2 car garage and tile roof. There isn’t much you will be missing in this home.

This is what Peter and Samantha said:

“Craig was extremely patient and very thorough with us throughout the process of purchasing our new home. He went above and beyond during the entire process. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home in the Phoenix area”

Thanks Peter and Sam, it was great working with you both and I’m glad that you are not only happy with your new home but are very happy with the service that I provided you.

In the ARMLS (Arizona Regional Multi-Listing Service) we use the great GE solution called SupraKey.  This little device allows Realtors to enter homes to show prospective buyers without making extra stops.  It also provides a digital trail (so to speak) of which agents went into which homes when.  This digital trail is available to the listing agent on-line.  Today I was trying to do some research on which agents are doing multiple showings and which listings are getting the most activity.  Simple queries if you use databases and some nice queries.  This is where I start being disappointed…

Recently, I received word that the Down-Payment Assistance (DPA) programs would be going away. DPA exists to help buyers enter the home-ownership market. The programs exist by having the seller provide a donation to another group to be used as a down payment for the buyer. They help many people to get into the home-ownership status. Now, the government feels that they should be blamed for many of our woes that we are experiencing today and therefore are going to ban them in the future. Boy, this might cause more trouble than it saves. » Read the rest of the entry..

This happens to be one of my favorite jokes about Realtors and you will often hear me tell it, the sad part is that there is some truth to it. » Read the rest of the entry..
