It's just not fair, is it?

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. Click here to learn more. No gimmicks... just great 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!

Can you really afford to work with an inexperienced agent?

And the Customer's Always Write... 

	For me, it has been a personal transformation. From a starting point like most folks (I believe) I didn't fully understand what value a Realtor can bring, to being a proponent of real estate professionals, and in specific, of Dean Selvey. I come by my pessimism honestly. I was born with it, as most Canadians are. But the pessimism was overcome by the experience I have had in acquiring a few house with the help of Dean Selvey. Not only did Dean find us houses to see, and ultimately, to buy, but that was just the beginning of the service, and it only got better. Dean's got a fundamental ethic that says "do what's right". So when the houses we bought needed work, and we were too far removed to over see the work, Dean stepped up and looked after things. Questions about pool service, insurance, cleaning service, household repairs, not only answered by Dean, but usually he looked after getting the needed work done. His knowledge of the profession and of the Phoenix area is quite impressive. Dean's a professional, and without a doubt the best Realtor I've ever had the pleasure to work with. Jerald Fuller Edmonton
	I want to thank you for the services you have provided me through our long distance working relationship we developed over the past year and a half. Your ability to help me find the right properties while me being over 2,800 kilometers from point of purchase has been invaluable. Your knowledge of Phoenix and surrounding areas is extremely helpful and very extensive which I believe is the key in finding the right Realtor! My trust in your judgment in finding the right property has gone as far as me purchasing a rental property site unseen and where I come from that would never happen (especially the distance that you and I are dealing with). You are honest, straightforward and hard working which enables me to do my job while you do yours for me. I look forward to doing more business with you in the near future considering the how the Canadian dollar has strengthened against the US dollar…You are my Realtor of choice Dean, thanks again! Regards, Marc Martin Edmonton, AB
	I was very fortunate to have The Dean Selvey Group as my Realtor when I recently purchased a condo in Chandler. You are very knowledgeable and professional. I always felt that my best interests were your priority. Even though I was from another country, with your guidance the entire process was smooth and enjoyable. I am extremely happy with my purchase. Sandra Smith Calgary, Alberta
	I recently purchased a vacation rental property in Chandler Arizona. I am from out of country and was very impressed with The Dean Selvey Group. We saw every property on our list in two days and were able to make a choice pretty quickly. The team member's knowledge of the greater Phoenix area, and expertise in real estate sales made this out of country (scary) experience both possible and enjoyable. Thank you, Marj Calgary, Alberta
	I'm from out-of-town and recently purchased a second home in the Gilbert area. The Dean Selvey Group was very thorough in research, and had everything mapped out and appointments scheduled accordingly. I was able to visit a number of properties and complete my purchase all in two days. The Dean Selvey Group is very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. The entire transaction went through seamlessly and they made the experience very stress free. Thanks for all your hard work! Michael Lamberti Vancouver, British Columbia
