The Complete Guide to Buying a Home in Arizona

Whether it’s your first or your fifth real estate purchase, the task of buying a home can be overwhelming — the massive amount of information on the internet can be confusing, outdated and in many cases downright inaccurate. Additionally, laws and customs in one state are often not the same when purchasing a home in another community or state.

In addition to offering you my experience and expert advice as a Buyer’s Agent, here are some resources to help you navigate the process of buying a home in the Green Valley area:

TESTIMONIALS

"This is an agent that really knows the local market and market values. We were under contract in 30 days and he was extremely helpful in assisting us through the inspection process that satisfied us and the buyers. We would highly recommend Russ as his realistic estimates didn’t mislead us and brought more than we had expected as a sales price. Showings began immediately and he would follow up with each real estate agent that showed our home. "
- W.W., Sahuarita AZ
"Russ is a superstar Green Valley Realtor. We live in California and bought a house in Green Valley in August 2017. We could not have done it without Russ’ up-to-the minute access to listings and we felt comfortable buying on short notice thanks to his local expertise. Plus he was friendly, accessible, and just nice to work with. I highly recommend him for anyone buying in Green Valley."
- C.M., Green Valley AZ
"I was so lucky to find Russ. It’s been a long time since I bought a home and working through the stacks of paperwork was daunting! I was so glad to have Russ “be there for me” and to guide me through each step. He was on top of every stage of the home buying process, knew the answers to all my questions and immediately responded (sometimes in minutes). Russ also has a bevy of wonderful local businesses to recommend and a comprehensive website that was exceedingly helpful! You are making a mistake if you don’t use Russ to help you purchase your home in Green Valley, he is A++++."
