Focus on Vacation Homes
Whether it’s a golf condo or a luxurious custom
home nestled against the mountain, we’re here to help! Did you know that even in
prime areas such as North Scottsdale, you can own a great 2 bedroom condo for as
little as $130,000 USD? Several of our clients have moved to detached, single-family
homes, as there are some great buys in that market. One of our clients just
purchased a 2000 sq ft home on a desert lot, with a private pool, in a prime
Scottsdale location for under $250,000!
Here are our tips for deciding what may be the right home for your
use: First, focus on what you’d like to do when you’re here. If its golf,
shopping, fine dining, hiking, arts, pro sports… then consider a home that will
give you easy access to those destinations. For example, one of our recent
clients is really into boating and fishing, so a home less than 15 minutes away
from Lake Pleasant fit the bill nicely. Like golf, but on a budget? Then
Chandler might be the right location for you.
Consider gated-access communities. You’ll at least
have a little more peace of mind when you are away. Don’t forget that unlike
your colder climate, our focus here is on the outdoors, not the indoors. So a
great patio, a low maintenance lawn and a home that is easy to lock and go might
make your trips more enjoyable.
One of your key decisions is whether or not you will rent out your home, even if
it’s only to local friends and family. We can help you make your guest’s visits
easier by making sure the cleaning is done, the lawn or pool is ready. Ask us
how we can best assist you.
Our
Caretaker Service is free. We will inspect your home during the unoccupied
months and report back to you.

value-added services.
By the way- if that special vacation home needs some updating, we can help. We
have vendors for anything you can imagine, and can even assist you in furnishing
your new home.

Focus on Income Property
Many of our clients are taking full
advantage of the bank-owned properties and are investing in revenue properties.
There are two key components to investing here: one is the hard, financial
Return on Investment; the other is the speculative expectation that prices
eventually have to increase beyond replacement costs. Let us show you our
investment analysis, which considers all factors from acquisition, renovation,
maintenance, taxes, insurance, vacancy, etc., and the excellent ROI that our
investment clients have achieved. Most of our suburban properties can return
6-9% annual ROI, plus appreciation.
The rental demand for year-round, unfurnished rentals of single family homes is
still excellent. Many homeowners have lost their homes in foreclosure or are
credit damaged because of a short sale make excellent tenants at a great rate.
They desire to stay in the same neighborhoods where their kids are in school,
where their jobs are and their friends live. We’ve found a great formula for
buying revenue houses and we’re glad to share it with you along with our
investment analysis.
Our team can make owning income property here a one-stop activity. We can handle
helping you identify the right property, transact the sale, coordinate any
necessary repairs, and take care of the rental and leasing as well as
management. Our goal is to make it easy for you!

WHY WORK WITH THE EXPERTS?
Can you really
afford to work with an inexperienced agent?
For any consumer, the most challenging part of a
buying decision is determining whether or not you’re getting truthful, valid
information. Doesn’t matter if you’re buying a new car, a flat-screen TV, a new
golf club or the perfect vacation get-away, every consumer wants to know that
they’ve made the best purchase decision possible.
It all comes down to this: who can you trust to
give dependable, factual, information you can use to make a decision based
your objectives?
Who will listen and answer your questions, no matter
how insignificant they may seem?
Who will be there with answers to the questions you
don’t even know to ask?
Who will care more about your decision than
they do about their interests?
Who can you trust?

this most important endeavor. We offer after-the-sale programs, too! Need to

vacation home is secure? We offer a wide variety of services for our absentee
owners for years after their purchase.
We’ll communicate with you…..we’ll answer your
questions honestly…… we’ll even tell you things you might not want to hear at
times, but when we’re finished, you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing you’ve
