Frequently Asked Questions
I am here to provide outstanding real estate experiences that build long-lasting relationships. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just figuring out your situation, I’m ready to answer your questions, guide you through each step of the process, and help you make confident, informed decisions. If you have additional questions, feel free to reach out to me directly.
Why should I work with a REALTOR® instead of going it alone?
As a REALTOR®, I’m bound by the National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics, which means I put your interests first, provide honest and accurate information, and protect your confidentiality. You’ll have a professional guide to help you navigate contracts, negotiations, and disclosures—saving you time, stress, and costly mistakes.
How do you get paid for your services?
In most cases, commissions are paid by the seller and shared between the listing and buyer’s agents. As a buyer, you typically won’t pay my commission directly. Sellers can expect commission fees to be outlined clearly in the listing agreement before we begin. All compensation, regardless of which side of a transaction you are on are negotiable.
What areas do you serve?
I proudly serve Tucson, Catalina Foothills, Oro Valley, Marana, Vail, and surrounding Southern Arizona communities.
What types of properties do you specialize in?
I work with both residential and vacant lots. This includes everything from first-time homebuyers and luxury estates to investment properties and building opportunites. With my design-build background, I can also help you see the potential in properties that others might overlook.
Can you help with remodeling or construction advice?
Yes! With over 35 years of design-build construction experience, I bring a unique advantage. I can help you evaluate a property not just for its current condition, but also for its potential—whether that means a remodel, addition, or full-scale renovation.
What does the buying process look like?
It starts with a consultation to learn your goals. From there, we:
-
Get pre-approved (if financing).
-
Search for properties that match your needs.
-
Tour homes and narrow your options.
-
Make and negotiate an offer.
-
Navigate inspections, appraisals, and escrow.
-
Close and hand you the keys to your new property!
How do you market homes for sale?
I combine traditional marketing (professional photography, signage) with modern strategies (targeted online ads, MLS syndication, social media, and email campaigns). My goal is to get your property in front of the right buyers quickly and effectively.
How will you communicate with me?
I tailor communication to your preference—whether it’s phone, text, or email. I believe in keeping clients updated at every step of the process so you’re never left wondering what comes next.
Do you work with investors?
Yes, I assist both first-time and seasoned investors. I provide market analysis, property evaluations, and remodeling insights to help you maximize return on investment.
What’s the first step if I’m ready to buy or sell?
The first step is simple: reach out for a free consultation. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just exploring your options, I’ll give you a clear picture of your next steps and how I can help.
