Property owner and/or resident of Phoenix's West Valley for 10 years. During this time I have been a licensed REALTOR in both Arizona & California. As such I have witnessed the incredible real estate boom first hand in both states, the subsequent collapse, and finally the recovery of the past few years. Having "weathered" this perfect storm type cycle of boom and bust has provided me invaluable insight to the dynamics of our local market and the unique challenges facing buyers and sellers here in the valley.Additionally, as a REALTOR who's business of the past 6 years was composed primarily of the listing of short sale properties for sale and the tough negotiations with banks these types of sales require, I know what the components of an "attractive" offer are and can therefore compose & position my clients offers far more effectively than many of my colleagues who have not had the same experience either listing properties for sale OR coordinating the tough negotiations.The Valley of the Sun has been an extreme blessing to my wife and our 4 children (soon to be 5!) and I'd like nothing more than to aid you in your exploration of the area for your families and financial goals. Feel free to contact me by phone, text or email. Please know it is not my style to "hound" prospective clients. I typically send an email or two and if no reply, move on to folks who's needs are more urgent. Thank you for the opportunity to help you in determining if the Valley is the place for you!!!
