What should I list my home for in Cave Creek?

Seller's, not agents, should be the ones to determine what to sell their home for in this new internet real estate market.  Gone are the days where real estate agents were the only ones with the information on what homes sold for in the neighborhood.  With Zillow's search capabilities to everyone and information publicly posted, seller's can determine what to price their home at and have the agent confirm the price if necessary.  Seller's we deal with know what they want, or need, in order for it to make sense to sell.  If it doesn't make financial sense to a seller to sell why would they sell?  There is always the chance a relocation or something else unusual forces them into that situation, but otherwise don't sell for less than you want.  www.ticeteam.com

Why wait to sell your Home in Tatum Ranch Cave Creek

There may be a reason to wait to sell your home right now if you have not already done so.  Using the right Broker/Agent who is not interested in just listing homes, but who are interested in maintaining and building relationships in the Cave Creek area and meeting their clients personal goals.  Your home is probably a home that is more desirable than other homes in your neighborhood and therefore, will be able to sell for more than others and more than other agents are willing to list it for and present the home properly to gain the highest dollar amount possible.

Visit TiceTeam at their website to learn more about them at www.ticeteam.com There you can schedule and appointment to meet with them or just talk to them about real estate and real estate values in the Tatum Ranch, Cave Creek area.


Do not buy a DR Horton home right now

Do not buy a DR Horton home until you have consulted with a Buyer's Agent to be properly represented.  The two reasons why, (1) you can get a better price and (2) you don't pay the commission, the builder does.

DR Horton and other builder sales people are employed and work for the seller, thereby they have a vested interest in protecting the builder, their employer, before the Buyer.  Builder's sales people are good people, but the builders spend thousands of dollars to train their sales people to negotiate the best deal for the builder.


Patrick Tice, past Designated Broker and Vice President for two of the nations top home builders Standard Pacific Homes and Meritage Homes says "builders focus, as any business, is making as high of a profit as you can on each sale."  However, there is a conflict of interest when it comes to real estate because real estate laws and guidelines in Arizona require that the Realtor or sales agent has the client's best interest in mind.  When an agent is representing both the Seller and Buyer that agent is required to be a neutral party for both people.  This is near impossible in new home sales because the Realtor/agent for the builder is an employee (not an independent contractor) and has the builder's best interest in mind.  What employee wouldn't when your paycheck and healthcare depends on it.  Furthermore, the builder makes more money when a Buyer is not represented by an agent and the builder does not pass that savings along to the buyer.

Before you visit a DR Horton community or any other builders' community and definitely before you purchase a home from a builder contact Patrick Tice at www.ticeteam.com, info@ticeteam.com or call them at 602-359-3636.  He will guarantee that he will be able to negotiate a better price & better terms for you because he know how to do it from the inside.

Do not buy a new home in Lone Mountain Ranch or Montevista from Toll Brothers or Taylor Morrison

Don't buy a home in Lone Mountain Ranch by Taylor Morrison or Montevista by Toll Brothers without being represented by a Buyer's Agent to protect your interests.  The sales people who work at these communities are employed and work for the builder and they have the builders best interest and pocketbook in mind not the Buyer's.  It will save you thousands or dollars to have the right representation and will enable you to negotiate a better price and better terms and keep the builder honest and accountable throughout the process and even after you close on the home.

Patrick Tice, past Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Standard Pacific Homes and Meritage Homes with years of experience working for the builder is now a Broker / Agent for the TiceTeam (www.ticeteam.com).  Patrick worked on the inside and knows the builders are mostly (if not always) concerned about themselves and making the profits.  Their sales people are typically good people but are trained extensively to keep the builders best interest in mind when negotiating a sale.

Before you visit these communities and definitely before you purchase a home from a builder contact Patrick Tice at www.ticeteam.com, info@ticeteam.com or call them at 602-359-3636.  He will guarantee that he will be able to negotiate a better price for you because he knows how to do it from the inside.www.ticeteam.com

How to find a realtor in Tatum Ranch

Open Houses. If you're looking for a real estate agent I believe the best way is to visit an open houses in the area you are buying or selling. 

Here's the benefits:
You get to meet the agent one-one-one. 
You get to have an authentic first impression - go with that. Agent-Client chemistry is important just like any other relationship.
Agents who spend their weekend holding an open house are hard working and proactive in attracting business. You want that in an agent. 
You are more prepared with "interview" questions than the agent is prepared with "interview" answers. This gives you a sense of how they think on their feet. 
Notice how the agents' open house is presented. Did they throw it together at the last minute or did they prepare to be there with plenty of attractive signs, drinks, flyers, etc.

He was Vice President of Sales & Marketing for two national home builders, where show homes are the image of what the customer is buying and how companies rely heavy on their success.

Marketing, Marketing, Marketing NOT Location, Location, Location

The familiar term in real estate is location, location, location.  However, it has now become markerting, marketing, marketing.  Location is relative to the Buyer so not every location is considered the "best" to every buyer.  Of course there will always be those communities that are known and sell exceptionally well, but that's not always an option for everyone. Experienced Real Estate Agent Patrick Tice has discovered that how you marketing a property to attract the appropriate buyer looking for the home you are selling is critical to selling a listing in a reasonable amount of time for the most money.  For instance, we market golf course communtiy homes to people looking for the benefits of living in a golf course communtiy and that is...Golfers.  So we will market those homes to people who are avid golfers.
