Everyone passed on this house… We ran the numbers and I bought it. It wasn’t cute. It wasn’t turnkey. But it was underpriced with a view I could get behind. We’ve made slow, intentional updates as we can afford them—and watched the value climb. This is the part people skip when they talk about real estate strategy. Not everything needs to be flipped fast or fully gutted. Sometimes buying the house no one wants is exactly how you build equity. Thinking about going with an overlooked property? Let’s talk strategy. We’ll share the numbers we run and what we use to make it make sense. #realestatephoenix #phoenixrealtor #phoenix #phoenixaz #azhomebuyers #phoenixrealestate

Almost forgot that this is the whole point. Not just the houses—but the people. From a wonderful (fun) team to our clients buying their first home. Walking through a 70’s home with vintage details that feel like they’ve been waiting for the right person. And the quiet joy of helping someone start again. This isn’t just our business. It’s serving people in some of life’s biggest moments. And we are grateful. #almostforgot #realestatestory #phoenixhomes #vintagevibes #firsthousefeels #ocotillorealtyteam #homewithheart

The spring market has officially shown up, and Phoenix is slightly leaning toward sellers again. But it’s not the frenzy we’ve seen before. Here’s what the data says: — Homes that don’t stand out? They’re sitting. — Price reductions are happening, but not deep ones—buyers are averaging 2–3% off list. — Inventory is up, but we’re still in a market that rewards strategy. It’s giving 2014 vibes—where confidence was rebuilding, but not everyone could feel it yet. Bottom line: Buying and selling right now takes clarity, not timing. And honestly? That’s always been the case. #realestatephoenix #phoenixrealtor #phoenix #phoenixaz #azhomebuyers #phoenixrealestateagent #realestateinsights #marketcrash #phoenixhousingmarket

What do you do when someone’s lost everything? You start with what you can give: space, intention, and a soft place to land. Kirsten and I feel strongly about the details—the quiet, behind-the-scenes things that help our clients feel grounded in the middle of the chaos. We can’t take away the loss or the weight of starting over. But we can show up, ask better questions, and create spaces that help with the transition. It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence. And if a cleared-out room helps someone breathe a little easier… that’s the kind of work we want to keep showing up for.
