In this episode of A Moment with The Real Estate Guy, I'm breaking down how the Arizona Residential Purchase Contract is designed to protect home buyers at every step. From built-in inspection periods and appraisal contingencies to loan approval timelines, Arizona law gives buyers the time, flexibility, and protection they need when purchasing a home.But what happens if a seller tries to cancel or back out after accepting your offer? The serious legal and financial consequences sellers face, including breach of contract penalties, earnest money disputes, and even possible legal action. Whether you're buying your first home or your fifth, understanding the power of this contract gives you the upper hand.📲 Have questions or need a pro to guide you? Call or text me, Chris Dunham at 602-321...

OK, there is something that makes folks want to live in the Sunny Phoenix Arizona metro area including Scottsdale. But, what is "IT" that drives the yearning. Today we focus on #4 "IT" reason, lower priced homes than California and New York. Most new Arizona buyers are from neighboring California. Prices are much lower and lower taxes as well. Same goes with New York.The Phoenix Arizona "IT" Factors 1. Sunny blue skies2. Golf 12 months of the year3. Wide open spaces for escape from city and exploring4.

When Mark and Jenna decided to buy their first home in Gilbert, Arizona, they thought the hardest part was over. They’d saved for the down payment, got pre-qualified, and found the perfect 3-bedroom home close to Jenna’s work and Mark’s favorite golf course. But what they didn’t expect was how crucial the Financing Section of the Arizona Residential Purchase Contract would be to securing that dream.Most buyers don’t read past the headlines of a contract. They trust their agent to guide them—which is why it’s so important to work with someone experienced. That financing section? It's not just boilerplate. It's your roadmap—and your safety net.Let me break it down, in plain English.Section 2: Financing – More Than Just a CheckboxIn the Arizona Residential Purchase Contract, Section 2 (Lin...

Buying a home in Arizona isn’t just about falling in love with the kitchen or backyard—it’s about protecting your investment, and that starts with due diligence.In the Arizona Residential Resale Real Estate Purchase Contract, Section 6a (Lines 213–224) outlines one of the most important parts of the transaction: the Buyer’s Inspection Period, also referred to as the Due Diligence Period.If you’re buying a home in the Phoenix Metro or East Valley, here's what you need to know—straight from someone who's been guiding clients through this for over 25 years.🔎 What Is the Due Diligence Period?This section gives the buyer a default of 10 calendar days (unless otherwise negotiated) to investigate everything they deem material to the purchase of the home. That includes: Home inspection Termite/...

Well I like what I do and as a senior I love helping other seniors to downsize and find a great place to live in Sunny Arizona. RETIRE?No not me....yet.

In theory, selling your home “For Sale By Owner” (FSBO) sounds great—save on commissions, control the process, and pocket more cash, right?But in reality? It rarely works that way.After 25+ years of selling homes in Arizona, I’ve seen firsthand how FSBO deals often turn into regret, lost time, and less money at the closing table. If you’re thinking of going it alone, here are the biggest reasons to rethink that strategy.1. You’re Leaving Money on the Table Most homeowners aren’t expert negotiators, market analysts, or marketing pros. FSBO homes often sell for less—not more—than homes listed by a professional Realtor.Why? Pricing mistakes Missed upgrades that could boost value Poor presentation or listing quality Fewer buyer eyes on the property 📉 Studies show FSBO homes sell for up to 1...
