I am a full-time, licensed Arizona Realtor®. My real estate career began after retiring from a 30-year career in corporate America, managing computer information security with teams in the U.S. London, and India. I joined the Realtor board in 2018 and joined Keller Williams Realty, later moving to My Home Group in Scottsdale. I have lived in Phoenix all my life; in fact I'm a 4th generation Native!  I love our beautiful state and all its glorious sunshine vast blue skies, and desert mountain vistas. I am a member of the National Association of Realtors® (NAR), the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service (ARMLS) and the Phoenix Area Association of Realtors® (PAR). My license number is #SA682745000 and can be verified with the Arizona Department of Real Estate here. 

The short answer is all of them because if I don't, I know someone who does. Generally, I serve and specialize in the Central Phoenix,  North Phoenix, and Scottsdale areas but I have sold homes all over the Phoenix Metro Area. 

For sellers, my fee is between 5% - 7% depending on services requested and the amount the home sells for. Normally, I pay the agent who brings our buyer 50% of my fee.

Generally, there is no cost to home buyers for my services because the listing agent of the property publicly offers a fee to the agent who procures the buyer.  My fee is also paid by most home builders if a buyer is interested in building a home or purchasing a “spec” home from a builder’s inventory.  

Of course! Almost everything is negotiable! Every listing is unique and you will have the opportunity to customize your marketing program which will in part determine my fees. I must warn you that I am an expert negotiator which is why you will be glad you hired me.
