I visited Phoenix for the first time 14 years ago 👴🏻 It was a Sunday. We went over to Scottsdale. Sundays were a lot more active in those days… if you know, you know. Within a few months I was moving from the Dallas area to live here. A new job and new life in a new place. Phoenix still has that energy. You are welcomed here with open arms even in the 115-degree summer. Now I sell this city for a living 🤗 If you’re thinking about making the move, I get it. I was you. Let’s talk.

Two buyer closings this month. $38,000 in combined savings. Different deals, same job: Make sure my buyer comes out ahead Thinking about buying? Let’s talk.

Everyone fights over the price. That’s the obvious part. The real money is in the terms nobody’s looking at. 👉🏼Closing dates. 👉🏼Repair credits. 👉🏼Rate buydowns. 👉🏼Leaseback agreements Price is just one line on page 1 of the contract. The terms are the other 9 pages. That’s where the higher-level negotiation happens. #azrealestate #scottsdale #realestatetips #homebuying

Hot take most agents won’t say out loud… Posting your home online is not marketing. It’s the bare minimum. The MLS does that automatically the second you sign. Marketing is everything that happens after. Outreach to actual buyers. Tracking what’s working. Adjusting. Doing it again until the right buyer shows up. If your agent can’t tell you how many people saw your home this week, where they came from, and what they changed because of it... you don’t have a marketing plan. You have a prayer. So tell me. When your last home sold, did anyone actually show you the numbers? Or did you just hope it worked? 🔥 if your agent ran a real plan. 🙏 if it felt more like hope. #phoenixrealestate #scottsdalerealestate #arcadiaaz #paradisevalleyrealestate

Last year I quietly signed with a talent agency to try acting. One of the first things they told me to do was have a professional photoshoot… When it came time for action shots, they asked if I’d had any experience in sports, and boxing came up. So naturally they wanted to show that. I start throwing punches in slow motion with perfect form, but quickly the photographer stops me, saying “you’re covering your face”. Um… That’s kind of the point.. In the ring, of course you want to cover your face. It’s one of the first lessons you learn. But in a photoshoot, it made it difficult to see me. The form that had been literally beaten into muscle memory was now an obstacle. There’s an important life lesson here. The things that work best are often the least glamorous. For example, everyone wants to walk around nice listings but nobody wants to cold call. There’s a dark side to everything we see on social media. We see the success but not the repetitive habits and heartbreaks along the way. But it’s through those “un-sexy” sacrifices that we know that it’s real. Results without work is a scam 100% of the time. Anyway, this is that photo. My face is open, and I’d likely take a punch, but at least it looks good 😂

Been leaning into kettlebells and functional movements lately. Here are 4 of my favorites.. Different kind of tired than lifting. More athletic, less ego. 10/10 recommend if you’re bored of the same gym routine. #kettlebell #functionalfitness

I talked my buyer out of their dream house. Two weeks later they thanked me. Here’s why. #azrealestate #scottsdale #realestatetips

🗣️The headlines keep telling you it’s a bad time to sell. The contracts on my desk say something different. Right-priced. Prepped before the sign went up. Marketed with a real plan. Both homes pulled motivated buyers fast and closed at nearly the full asking price. A “slow market” doesn’t mean homes aren’t selling. It means the ones without a strategy are sitting. The ones with one are still moving quickly and for top dollar. If you’re thinking about selling in the next 6 months, the strategy starts before the sign goes in the yard. Let’s talk. #azrealestate #sellyourhome
