Patti’s and Mike’s Buyer Advantage

Local Fountain Hills market knowledge+neighborhood expertise+pricing advice.

We love working with are. The excitement of shopping for your new home and the satisfaction and excitement on everyone’s faces when the transaction closes is just the best! We love our community. It is where we live, eat, play and do the majority of our business. Working with a local realtor has a big advantage! Neighborhoods vary, we will know why some homes on some streets are worth more than others. We can determine accurate prices on specific homes in the neighborhood and usually know the minute we walk in a home if it’s overpriced or not. We will walk you through the mounds of paperwork and make sure you always know what’s the next step. We are here to provide you with our market knowledge, and resources so you can feel comfortable and secure in your decisions when making a home purchase.

How We work:

As of August 17th 2024 it will be mandatory (a national requirement) for agents to have a signed buyer’s agreement before showing homes. We will meet at our office and discuss all the details regarding the new way of doing real estate what is expected from us and your commitment to us. How the compensation works, etc. Don’t worry, you do not have to get locked into a lengthy agreement, but you will have to sign a document prior to looking at homes. See the new guidelines here.

When you choose us as your buyer’s agent, we will represent you as your agent. We are in the business of building relationships, not just selling you a home. We genuinely care about helping you maneuver through this crazy world of real estate. The more we get to know you and your real estate needs, the better we can find you exactly what you want. It’s not all about the house, it’s more about you and your lifestyle and what you need to make it all come together in a nice little package, your home! You can’t get that kind of caring and service hopping around to different agents. We take the time to understand exactly what you want and need.  Rather than selecting just a few homes for you to consider, we use the process of elimination, so we are not wasting time on homes that aren’t the right fit. We have successfully negotiated the winning bid on many multiple offer situations for our buyers, so don’t think all agents are alike, it’s a skill that comes with working for many years in the real estate business. We don’t miss a beat when it comes to service!

Not ready to commit? That’s OK, we can still sit down and have a chat! As a buyer you might need data and advice as you prepare to enter into the market. Just be honest and let us know your situation. We will be happy to help you along the way and provide you with the appropriate resources. Then when you are ready to make the move, and you want to connect, we will move forward with finding you that specific home. Whether it takes days, months or years we are here to help you along the way.

We will never try to “sell” you on anything. We have a no pressure approach, We’re genuine, you’ll get straight answers, honest opinions and advice. If this sounds good to you and you think it fits your style, give me a call at 480 888 6708. 

Why get pre-approved?

As a buyer it is a very important first step to speak with a reputable lender to see if you qualify financially. A pre- approval  indicates that the lender has taken a close look into your financial history such as pay stubs, W2’s and tax returns to determine if they can lend you a specific amount of money. A pre-approval  indicates to sellers that you are a serious home buyer! Getting pre-approved also shows me that you are motivated in finding and purchasing a home. You want to be absolutely sure you are comfortable with your monthly payments before you find that perfect home, not afterwards. This is the first and most important step to purchasing a home!

Saves you time and aggravation:

As your buyer’s agent we will save you time and aggravation!  We are aware that you can search for homes on your own, but weeding through all the data can be exhausting and confusing. If you are searching on Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com or any other 3rd party site, the active listings will not be as accurate as the data that is provided to the Realtors. You see our data is in real time, plus we get more detailed information that is not provided to the public.

Buyers Representation:

It’s important to remember that the listing agent is representing the seller’s best interests, and as a buyer you need your own agent representing your best interests! As your agent, I will begin spending a lot of time and energy on your behalf,  to make sure everything goes along smoothly. Since I work entirely on commission all of the services I provide are uncompensated unless we have a successful closing. This in no way means that you are just a number, I strive to give my clients the highest level of service, professionalism and integrity, as my past and present clients will vouch for me.

We look forward to helping make the purchase of your home a successful experience. So if you are ready to get started,  call or text me at 480 888 6708, you can also send me a email me and I’ll get back to you.
