Homes For Sale in Northeast Phoenix from $99,000 to $199,000

Homes for sale in Northeast Phoenix from $99,000 to $199,000 really seem hard to find. Let's rephrase that... Maybe we should say "NICE HOMES" It is very interesting as to how difficult it is to find a home for sale in that price range. Actually that includes Scottsdale as well. I just went through this experience this week, with a buyer, and managed to do as I have done several times over tha past 18 months.... and that is: I showed them ONLY three homes!!!! That is all... It is so interesting, fun, and pleasurable when we use some of the technology available now a days, along with ASKING QUESTIONS, ASKING QUESTIONS, ASKING QUESTIONS.

In my 30 years in the business it was my first time to meet a person who had been in prison (or at lease if anyone else has been in prison they have not told me about it) however this person asked me to help them find a home to rent. I only had to show the person one home, because I could ASK QUESTIONS ASK QUESTIONS ASK QUESTIONS (as Cavett Robert used to say) and we found the right home with just actually physically looking at one home. However two days later the person called me to say: They were denied because they had a prison record, and their credit score was over 700.

And my response was, well let me help you OWN YOUR OWN HOME. And within 24 hours I was on my way to helping this couple to the point the female began to cry tears of happiness. At the end of their home inspection, I jokingly said: "Why don't you call Walter when we close escrow in 3.5 weeks and thank him for denying you an opportunity to rent a home, and tell him you are a home owner."

In my 30 years as a real estate agent, this is another one of those emotional, fun, exciting moments, to be able to help someone OWN A HOME FOR THE FIRST TIME.

I even asked: "Why were you in prison?" The response: "I was selling drugs. I have cleaned up my act. I have learned my lesson and am happily working every day, and committed to going to school while I work full time, and I have turned my life around."

This search for Homes for sale in Northeast Phoenix from $99,000 to $199,000 THIS TIME has given me the REAL PLEASURE OF HELPING SOMEONE again, and it is really another learning experience for me. Not only that on our way to look at the third home my buyer asked me about a FSBO that is a for sale by owner which was on my website. My reponse was: "There can't be a FSBO on my website." Their response was let me show you............. Well my buyer misread the site it was actually a FSBO in the 3500 block of a WEST side street. However we drove to the 3500 block of an EAST SIDE STREET and sure enough was a FSBO, which I called and asked if we could look at the home, and the person KNEW ME.

She even said her three daughters used to come to the Pumpkin Parade years ago where we had fun giving over 20,000 pumpkins away to kids over a period of 10 years. Actually once the wife can persuade the husband to do so, I believe I will have the home on the market within the month.

Fortunately when I did write the offer for my buyers, I managed AGAIN............... to meet FACE TO FACE with the seller and present my offer, instead of emailing or faxing, and AGAIN it was a good thing I did, because he was expecting another offer and by meeting fact to face, the seller admitted he had heard of me as well, and I managed to negotiate the transaction to where my buyer won and we are happily on our way to my buyer successfully owning: Homes for sale in Northeast Phoenix from $99,000 to $199,000. That FACE TO FACE continues to be a HUGE ADVANTAGE.

I hope your day is as good as mine
