Buying and selling luxury real estate in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Biltmore, Carefree, or other Phoenix metropolitan areas is not for the faint of heart.  It's a process that involves juggling several tasks at once and possessing intimate knowledge on a variety of subjects that are not typically required in one's daily life.  That's why it is critical to hire an experienced, hard-working, and competent Arizona real estate agent to advise and protect you as you navigate the world of luxury real estate.

It starts with real estate market knowledge, whether in Paradise Valley, Arcadia, North Central Phoenix, Biltmore, North Scottsdale or Carefree, Arizona.  What are current values? What are today's homebuyer hot buttons? And what is the best way to stage a home for sale to optimize its value?

Next is marketing or Why List With Thomas? and ultimately negotiating an accepted contract with the best possible terms and conditions. This is a time honored skill, which Thomas excels at, but it’s not enough.  There are a myriad of Transaction Documents (all forming a legal contract) to deal with and a transaction process that reminds one of instructions to an erector set. And don’t forget the very important issue of How to Take Title.

With the property in escrow, a thorough home inspection is a must.  Don’t buy unless you know what you’re buying.  A proper assessment of the home includes a very detailed overall inspection (e.g. roof, electrical, plumbing, major mechanical systems, etc.), as well as more specific procedures like checking for termites and mold.

Of course, Obtaining a New Loan is a major part of the home buying process.  Thomas recommends you contact Tom Miner (480-222-9700), at Miner Kennedy Chmura Associates, early on, before you begin your home search.  Tom will pre-qualify you for a loan and discuss the significance of credit reports and credit scoring.

Countless books have been written on the subject of buying and selling real estate and although they can be helpful, there is no substitute for experience.  As your Arizona real estate agent, Thomas Osterman has the experience, knowledge and resources necessary to make sure your home purchase or sale goes smoothly. His experience with luxury real estate in Paradise Valley, North Central Phoenix, Scottsdale, the Biltmore area, and Arcadia is extensive.
