To describe the Phoenix market as “hot” or “insane” would be an understatement. The market is totally deranged: you will compete with all cash offers, flippers, investors, corporations, probably algorithms and what not. On top of that, you will also have to deal with sellers' agents who have a fiduciary duty to their clients to get the best deal possible for them. As such, you will want all of the help you can get starting with a professional and reputable real estate agent. As buyers, we were fortunate enough to have gotten a good recommendation – Liz Dains. Working with her was a pleasant, positive and educating experience for us. Not only did she wholeheartedly fought for us on a daily basis for over a month including weekends and late evenings, she also made sure we did not get emotional about our offers and not to overpay. Odds were against us: 20-something year old with 5% down in this environment... Are you kidding me?! In the end, Liz not only got our offer accepted, she managed to help us get sizable seller credits and put us into a beautiful home in a nice neighborhood, while most other homes are being sold as is without inspections and appraisals. Liz is responsive, knowledgeable, personable and has an unparalleled level of attention to detail. We definitely had a great time working with her, and I dare say we made friends with her. We will be recommending her to friends and family, and who knows, may be use her services sometimes in the distant future if an opportunity arises. Thank you Liz, you are truly appreciated!
