Deconstruction Hurts Many Homeowners

Deconstruction is a word making it’s rounds right now. It is a phrase being used to describe the practice of removing fixtures from a home facing foreclosure. Recently, a local man was arrested and charged with defrauding a secure creditor and criminal damage after the deconstruction of his Chandler home.

So, once again, it is time to vent just a tad… If you know me, you know that I have a pet peeve about some of the things that happen in the real estate industry. Many of these things have to […]

Pending Home Sales Rising

In addition to watching our mls system and looking at a lot of homes around town, I get a LOT of email and blog updates to help keep an eye on the real estate market.

Change is good – questions remain

Change is good, right? Changing real estate markets bring about a lot of issues that often become misunderstood or over looked. In the past 17 years of selling homes, I don’t recall a time where people had so many questions and misconceptions on home prices, terminology and the market.
