Congratulations to My 2nd Quarter Buyers & Sellers - What a Crazy Market!

Kim and Rocco Dalessandro were referred to me by a Homesmart agent in Pennsylvania. Kim, Rocco and their 3 daughters were headed across country to be closer to family. We put the house on the market as “coming soon” and had an accepted full price offer within 48 hours. This was a unique situation where the buyers and sellers met and they hit it off. The kids even played together and exchanged toys. While Kim and Rocco went through a lot of things during this time, they were warriors and have made it to their next chapter in PA. I made two great friends and I know we will stay in touch!

Danielle Seligmann and I have known each other for many years, and, while her life has taken her to Atlanta, her oldest son is bringing her back to Scottsdale. Jared will start at ASU in the fall and Danielle decided to buy an investment in McDowell Mountain Ranch. It will be a rental property until her youngest, Zachary, goes off to college. Then she will be ready to move back to Scottsdale full-time. With this competitive market, Danielle brought a strong offer. It wasn’t the highest but with great communication her offer was selected. Congrats Danielle, Jared and Zachary.

Bryce & Carly Wujek made their trek to Phoenix for a long weekend to find a home before Carly started her residency at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. Carly was studying in Alburqueque and Bryce, an engineer working in sales, was living in Denver. They found a great home in Ahwatukee and are now living together again with their dog. Thanks, Bryce and Carly, for a great friendship and for giving me my new nickname, Rosè. 

Ben Watzig & Michelle Ripley relocated to Phoenix from Oregon so Ben could start his orthopedic residency at Banner University Medical Center. Michelle also landed a teaching job and will start this fall. Purchasing this home was competitive, like many others, in this market. They came in strong and their offer was accepted. They got here just in time for the summer to start so they could enjoy their new pool. Welcome to Phoenix! 

Katelyn and Tucker DeGraffenreid bought their first home together as husband and wife. At one moment in time, Katelyn found out she matched for a Psychiatry residency at Banner University Medical, their offer on a new home was accepted and they had a baby on the way!. What a great time in their lives! Congratulations to Katelyn and Tucker on so many levels. I am excited for you both to begin this new chapter in your life. 

Jeff & Lexi Ehresman made their journey from Maryland to Phoenix so Jeff could start his neurosurgery residency at Barrows in Downtown Phoenix. Lexi trusted Jeff to come to Phoenix and find the house - she saw it for the first time in person when she moved in. Now, that is trust! They bought a beautiful home for their family which includes their 2 year-old son, Brody and 9month old daughter, Arabella. Congrats! 

Deena Hailoo called me from NYC because she was ready to sell her investment property in Chandler. The condo went on the market at “coming soon” while she finished remodeling and immediately we had 2 offers at full price. Deena decided to take it temporarily off the market to finish the remodel and price it higher to see what the market would do. While we waited, one of the original buyers, came in $50K above the original list price. Needless to say, Deena took the offer and we closed escrow with no hiccups. Congrats Deena - what a crazy market and a great time to sell!
