BUYING TIPS

  Home > Buying Tips

Foreclosures, Bank Repo, REO, Short Sale - regardless of what you call it the Arizona market is experiencing a growth in Bank Owned properties. Currently we have over 5,000 properties available in all price ranges so if you are looking to buy a property owned by a financial institution call Jay Haugen at 480-355-3552.

In addition to the article you received at our meeting on “Paying NO Taxes” you will want to carefully read the following buying tips articles. Being a well informed consumer is your best defense against surprises after closing. Your password to access these articles is printed on page 2 of the BUYER BROKER Agreement you signed at our first meeting which gives us the right to advise you on your real estate purchase. Below we have also listed the phone numbers of some school districts if you need to contact them as part of your home buying research.

The Arizona Department of Real Estate (ADRE) and Arizona Association of Realtors® has developed the BUYER ADVISORY as a consumer information resouce. This is a very important document to help you to investigate your real estate purchase. WE STRONGLY ADVISE THAT YOU COMPLETELY READ THE BUYER ADVISORY.
