I am a Licensed REALTOR dedicated to providing the highest level of service to buyers and sellers. I strive to be known by other real estate agents as a true professional and a pleasure to do business with. My mission is to treat each and every client as an individual and to always put that client's needs first. My goal is to get the job done with as little hassle as possible. I am aware that most clients want even more than just a no hassle transaction, what they really want is someone who will listen to their needs and desires. That is what I am great at! I have been an Arizona resident for over 22 years and am deeply familiar with most every area across The Valley. I specialize in servicing Mesa, Gold Canyon, Apache Junction, Gilbert, Higley, Queen Creek and Chandler. Most importantly, I am a full-time, full-service real estate professional. Our real estate market is ever-changing and working with an agent like me who is embedded in the industry on a daily basis will ensure a winning experience when buying or selling your next home.

Bank-Owned Homes Continue to Surge

The number of foreclosed home owned by lenders is rising, even though banks are increasingly willing to do what it takes to sell properties.

Lenders and investors in mortgages owned about 660,000 foreclosed homes in April, up from 493,000 in January and 231,000 in January 2007, according to First American CoreLogic, a research firm. That’s one in seven previously owned homes currently for sale nationwide.

Some lenders are cutting prices as often as every 20 days on homes that aren't selling, says David McCarthy, chief executive officer of Integrated Asset Services LLC, a Denver-based company that helps banks value and sell REO homes.
