Buying a Home in the Phoenix Arizona Area
Make Sure Your Agent is Actually On Your Side
Do you know that every day people put their full faith and trust into their real estate agents not realizing that in some cases the agent actually has a fiduciary responsibility not to them but to the other party? The agent who greets you at a new home development or the designer who helps you select all those costly extras works for and represents the builder. Unless you diligently read the papers you are signing, ask the right questions before you sign, and monitor the price of “extras” you purchase, you could be over paying with huge markups. Having your own buyer’s agent doesn’t cost you anything, but often the builder doesn’t allow you to have representation unless you bring your buyer’s agent into the model homes the first time you visit.
Don't be limited by Your Realtor's Geographical Territory
The Phoenix Metro area is now HUGE! To drive from one side to another will take you about 3 hours. No one person can properly understand and serve the entire Phoenix valley. Plus, the Tucson, Flagstaff and rural Arizona areas may provide you with exactly what you need. Avoid the square-peg-in-a-round-hole scenario where agents will attempt to sell you whatever is available in their immediate area and convenient to them.
Avoid the Status Quo
The Arizona Real Estate Market, like many other areas, has been on fire the last several years. For many agents and real estate companies, the status quo is working just fine. With so much money to be made, most agents just focus on listing and selling houses waiting for customers to come to them.
Working with Liz Suto and the Arizona Agent Network
Imagine having an agent that you know is working for you and your best interests. Imagine working with an agent that wants to educate you on the area and buying a home, not withholding information to try to look like the expert. Imagine having access to the state MLS system of all available homes for sale in Arizona right now! Imagine getting detailed and informative emails on a regular basis helping to educate and inform you on topics such as relocation, investment and general real estate issues. Imagine working with the right agent in the right area. Imagine if you find that the area you are looking in is not right for you, that you'll be transferred to the right agent in the right area regardless of real estate company.
How is this possible?
Using the Power of the Internet, combined with Area Expertise
The internet has been transforming just about every industry helping to drive down costs, improve quality and to educate and inform the customer. Yet most real estate agents and companies only use the internet at a superficial level. We believe in providing you with the tools, information and knowledge to help you make the best possible decision.
