Step 2
Consider Repairs and Improvements
Your real estate agent will conduct a comprehensive walkthrough of your home and offer recommendations for both minor and major repairs or improvements. Address any known maintenance issues proactively, as they can arise during inspections.
Value-boosting home improvements encompass a wide range, from painting to roof repairs, landscaping to HVAC updates. We'll help you determine which improvements will make the most significant impact on your home's value.
Step 3
Set the Price Right
Finding the perfect listing price is another critical step in ensuring a swift and profitable sale. We'll work closely with you to consider recently sold neighboring properties, current market prices, and your home's condition and location.
Request a neighborhood sold report and rely on our expertise to determine the ideal listing price.
Step 4
Prep Your Home
Decluttering is the name of the game. Begin by organizing and decluttering spaces, removing excess furniture, and tidying up those hidden nooks and crannies. A deep clean will make your home shine, and staging will create a welcoming environment that allows potential buyers to envision their future in your home.
Professional photographs will capture your home's best features and make an unforgettable impression on potential buyers.
Step 5Marketing Your Home
Marketing is key to finding the right buyers for your home, and this is where our expertise truly shines. We know where to locate the most qualified buyers and have access to a wide array of resources, from online listings to social media platforms and local agent networks.
Our skilled marketing strategies will ensure your home gets the attention it deserves.
Some of our services include:
- High dynamic range photos allow the views to be seen through windows.
- E-Flyer blast to other agents.
- Complete accurate MLS info, measurements, utility costs, and details that are preferred by serious buyers.
- Aerial drone photos and video demonstrating dramatic views
- Virtual furniture staging and expert in-person staging consultation.
- Pay-per-click ads do a deep dive to discover even more buyers.
- Coming Soon status and signage.
- Showing concierge with seller notifications and follow-up with agents and their interested buyers.
Step 6
Show Your Home
Be prepared for showings at any time. Keep your home neat, clean, and staged to perfection. Ensure dishes are washed, laundry is put away, and clutter is kept at bay. Regular cleaning and tidying will create an inviting atmosphere for potential buyers.
It's also essential to vacate the premises during showings to make buyers feel comfortable.
Step 7
Negotiate and Accept an Offer
When a buyer expresses interest, they'll present a written offer, outlining the terms, mortgage details, and any contingencies. You can either accept the offer or negotiate for different terms.
Our expertise comes into play during negotiations, ensuring your interests are protected.
Step 8
Sign a Purchase and Sale Agreement
Once you and the buyer agree on terms, you'll both sign a legally binding Purchase and Sale Agreement, detailing the specifics of the home sale, including contingencies.
It serves as the formal agreement between the seller and the buyer, detailing the specifics of the sale.
Step 9
Cooperate with Inspections
The buyer will hire an inspector to assess the property thoroughly. They will inspect various aspects, including the roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), structural components, appliances, and more.
If any repairs are needed, negotiations may occur. Rest assured, we'll guide you through this process.
Step 10
Enter Escrow
You'll enter a period of escrow, a transitional phase between selling your home and receiving payment. This stage involves paperwork completion and ensuring all contract components are met. The documentation and paperwork may include title insurance, property disclosures, loan documentation, and other required forms.
Once all documents are signed, funds are disbursed, and the title is transferred, the escrow officer completes the escrow process.
Step 11
Sign, Pay, and Close!
On the closing day, you and the buyer may meet with your individual Agents (if in town) to sign paperwork and settle fees. You'll hand over keys and property titles, receiving a check for any remaining mortgage balance.
Congratulations - you've successfully sold your home!

Listing with AZ Realty & Rentals was the best decision we could have made. They prepped the home, advised a realistic market price, and marketed it everywhere (Zillow, Homes.com, MLS, Facebook, Instagram). The result was a quick sale at a very good price, with realistic timelines and clear communication throughout. We felt supported and confident every step of the way. Thank you - and I would recommend their services to anyone!

The sale of my property was the easiest, least stressful of any buy or sale I've ever made. Chris was always there to answer any questions that I had, came to my house to help with some of the initial paperwork, and then I sat at my computer and did the rest. It was a very positive experience.

I want to thank AZ Realty & Rentals for helping me find my forever home and selling a house we lived in for 50 years. As a widower, I needed steady hands and clear guidance, and they delivered. They arranged open houses and after-hours showings with thoughtful consideration for my schedule, taking a lot of the burden off my shoulders. The team treated me with respect and professionalism, explaining each step and making sure I understood my options. Their patience and reliability made a difficult transition much simpler, and I’m grateful for their support through every stage. If you’re looking for a real estate partner who will show up, do the heavy lifting, and keep you well-informed, AZ Realty & Rentals is the choice I’d make again. Thank you.

Our agent was fantastic. I relocated from out of state and relied on his local knowledge to find me a home in a neighborhood where I felt safe and within my budget. He is a down to earth guy and easy to talk to. He paid attention to the things I wanted, and I love my house and couldn’t be happier. He also gave me some great recommendations for restaurants and local insights into the area.

AZ Realty & Rentals helped us purchase our forever home in Tucson after a long search. They listened to our must-haves (like a big backyard) and showed us options we never would have found on our own. The process was transparent and stress-free—highly recommend for buyers!

I had a chance to deal with Chris on six occasions. Everyone of them was a great experience, very professional, and quick with response and delivering all information I requested.
So I purchase all 6 properties with Chris’s help and he is my first choice if I’m going to buy any more.
Highly recommend him to do the business with.

Chris handled the purchase of property in Oro Valley, AZ. He was prompt, and really on the ball as issues arose.

We had the opportunity to have Chris as our realtor in the spring of 2021. Our townhouse purchase has been everything we wanted.
If you are looking for rental property or a place for yourself, Chris has extensive knowledge on both options. He assisted in the mortgage process and also had renovation information that we couldn't have done without. No doubt if there is ever any real estate consideration, we will definitely contact Chris again.
