Congratulations to 1st Quarter 2018 Buyers & Sellers!


Congratulations to Jodi Hamel! Jodi purchased a beautiful home in North Phoenix for herself and her kitty, Sammy Jo! (Love that name!) I was connected to Jodi through a program with AZ One Credit Union and HomeSmart. She was so excited to have her new home and the process went so smoothly. Thank you to my awesome team of lenders, title officers, inspectors, etc. and congratulations to Jodi. 


Taylor Parnall is a surgical resident at Mayo Hospital and we would meet in the mornings post-call. Sometimes she would be sleeping in the car when I showed up! But her exhaustion did not stop her. She knew what she wanted and found it. She has moved into her new condo that is within biking distance to Mayo, a must have for Taylor. The condo has a great “vibe” and I am sure she is enjoying her new home. 


Dylan & Sasha Staack bought a wonderful home in N. Phoenix for their family which includes Sawyer, Amelia and Lachlan. They closed just 10 days after Lachlan was born - way to go! The house was sold by another big family and had some very cool features including built-in bunk-style beds and a chicken coup full of chickens! Yes, if I need fresh eggs, I have a source! We cannot wait for the family to be here full-time and I look forward to a time when Amelia is not scared of the chickens that are currently the same size as she! 


Congratulations to Jason Alford. He bought the Cowboy House, as we called it, and has now made it his own. We had a few ups and downs during escrow but everything worked out. Jason now has an easier commute to work, which gives him more time to enjoy his new West valley home. 


One of the hardest parts about selling a home is when the sellers move out-of-state when it is all over. Janice & Craig Ammar were those sellers. Their daughter, whose home we sold a few years ago, referred Mom and Dad to us. Their home in Cave Creek went on the market and they had a full price offer within 24 hours. The home was contingent on the buyer’s home selling but the transaction went smoothly. Janice & Craig are now enjoying their home in Idaho. I miss them and their animals. 


Jessica and Wade Berger, along with Jessica’s father Denny Lambert, sold their Pointe Tapatio condo this year after renting it for the past few years. Their long-time tenant bought the condo which made this a smooth sale. We worked as a team to come to a sale agreement and then put the paperwork together. A lending issue created one scare but their lender found someone to pick up the loan process and we closed right on time. Congrats to Jessica, Wade and Denny for selling to their awesome tenants, Meta & Gordy Berg.




Madeleine Kloss is a first-time homebuyer and I was connected to her through a program with AZ One Credit Union and HomeSmart. I loved working with Maddie and her mom, Meg, to find her the a perfect home in Central Phx. As a Dutch Brothers shift leader she wanted an easy commute to her store near Arcadia and this house offered that. This was not a smooth process for Maddie but she did very well and Mom was a huge help. I am so happy for Maddie and wish her many wonderful years in her new home!.
