You might find this interesting if you owe more than your home is worth.

You may be eligible for streamlined short sale (approved in 15 days) if your mortgage is with World Savings or Wachovia.

Contact me for more details.


Market stats: It's still a buyer's market. February's numbers were better than January's and March is on track to exceed December 2009 numbers.

It's common to have multiple offers on properties that are priced at or below market.

This month’s “Green” tip:
Time to get your A/C unit serviced to get ready for summer!
Don't forget to schedule your service soon. It'll keep your unit running efficiently and will save you any surprises down the road. The last thing we want here in the Phoenix area is to be without A/C in the summer! Some home warranty's require that you keep the unit serviced or they won't cover any claims. Call me if you need a referral of a good A/C Tech.
