I contacted a top pick but did not have an experience that was anything similar to the reviews. I had one afternoon left and contacted Marilyn the day prior. She gave me the entire afternoon showing me homes in my price range and the area I chose. She has construction experience and was able to point out concerns in these homes. Once the home was chosen she advised us every step of the way. She made herself available to answer numerous questions very quickly. And she managed the many negotiations with ease. Marilyn is extremely generous. Her family has been in this business for her entire life and she really knows Tucson. In future I will look to those single 5 star reviews as I've found that the number of positive reviews does not always mean the best service.

I first contacted Terry Bishop on the recommendation of a friend, who was also in search of a new…read morehome in the Tucson area. From the first phone call I had with Terry, she was warm, friendly and immensely helpful. I was planning to move to Southern Arizona from another state and it wasn't easy to find a home in Tucson while living elsewhere. After discussing my "must haves" with Terry in detail, she made it work by scouting out properties on my behalf, and then giving me the low down. I then checked them out online and made the decision if I wanted to see them or not. In addition, I also did my own online looking and gave Terry the information on the homes I thought wanted to see. Terry would give me immediate feedback on my choices and we would discuss and decide if the home was worth seeing during my limited visits to Tucson. During my 2-3 visits to Tucson to see properties, Terry and I had a list of homes to see and she maximized my time by showing me properties that we've already discussed at length and were serious contenders. Terry gave me her honest opinions and I grew to trust her insights into the different areas of Southern Arizona. After all, Terry is a 20 plus year resident of Tucson and has a pulse on the different areas, their pros and cons and reputations. This is very important yo know when moving to a new area. Terry also gave me encouragement when I was discouraged about the real estate market and had lost a couple of homes that I was interested in because I wasn't local to act quickly. Even though I am recently retired, I ended up not opting for a 55+ active adult community. I'm glad Terry had me explore this option so that I knew it wasn't for me. I ended up buying a townhouse in a development near the Catalina foothills and am very happy with my new home, my new community of neighbors (who happen to be mostly retired and extremely welcoming and friendly) and the majestic views I have of the mountain range. Thank you Terry Bishop. I would highly recommend using Terry for your real estate needs.

Having recently bought a new home in Tucson, I would credit Terry Bishop with a Best of the Best…read moreRealtors Award. Beginning seven months ago, prior to my physical move, Terry was the only realtor of several I approached who sent preliminary reading materials which familiarized me with the Tucson area, and they were immensely helpful, both in general and to my specific search. The search, itself, was a five-month endurance trial which Terry made pleasurable with her eager willingness to continue looking, her personal concern for my well-being after I made a decision, and her excellent listening skills, all which ultimately led us to my recent purchase. I'd been in Tucson numerous times before, yet I didn't know this town nearly as well as I thought. In June, several weeks before actually moving, Terry took extensive time to familiarize me with neighborhood options, their pros and cons, and their access to that which a retired, 70-year-old single would find essential as well as simply attractive. Even at my age, I was determined to be an urban re-gentrification pioneer, living amidst galleries, cafés and an exciting cultural environment, yet what I bought is firmly suburban, within a 55+ community, with access to a strong hospital network, every imaginable big box store, and the Starbucks which is in every Barnes & Noble, and I'll add that I am tremendously happy with my choice. Terry guided me with sensitivity, point-blank common sense, willingness to back up and head in a different direction, and unflagging determination to ensure my happiness, both now and in the future. Simultaneously, she was determined to address every detail which rises in the homebuying process, with access to plumbers and roofers as much as navigating the legal intricacies of a smooth closing. What sets Terry apart is her refined sense of the social, educational, geographical, and even political climate of the city in which I now live. She lends this to her clients. The result is finding the very best housing options one looks to a real estate agent for when one needs it most, yet knows least about, where and what that new home should be. I cannot praise her work enough. Terry is a paramount professional whose expertise provides know-how and sure-footed action at a time when uncertainty is the norm. The result is high satisfaction and peace of mind. During a "move", each of us wants these. And, to be sure, your very best resource is Terry Bishop!

We received a recommendation to use Nicole when I asked my good friend in Tucson who she would use…read morefor real estate. Our friend said hands down Nicole Brule-Fisher When we first started looking we were thinking second house. We exchanged emails with Nicole and made arrangements to drive and look at houses. Nicole spent all weekend with us showing homes, connecting with other agents to give us more options. There was one house that was amazing that she was able to show us before it even went on the MLS but it didn't have a place for a pool. (sad face) Nicole showed us a bunch of houses but nothing we were ready to pull the trigger on (this is the beginning of October). So we went home and Nicole started emailing us listings. There was one house that we wanted to see but we couldn't get away. Nicole went out and face timed us for a walk-through. Since we were relocating there wasn't urgency on our end. We were looking for a turnkey house that hit all our must haves. Anyway, my husband was on a quick trip to Tucson and I was in California when I went on Zillow and saw this sweet fixer upper in a great area. My husband called Nicole to see the property. I guess she was unavailable because she told him Nick would meet him at the property. Nick was great - he's unpretentious, friendly and knowledgable. We wrote an offer on the fixer and with their recommendation added an escalation clause. Our offer wasn't selected but became the backup offer. Anyway, all the stars aligned when the first party backed out and we got news that the sellers wanted to accept our offer. woot woot! The fixer didn't have everything we wanted but the location was so amazing and the price low enough that we decided to take on the project to get exactly what we wanted. I honestly didn't think we were in that headspace when we started looking. I really liked working with Nicole and was a bit bummed that we got kicked to Nick. Life happens though - it was during covid so who knows why this happened. On the up side...We also really liked working with Nick. They both were great and have gone the extra mile for us - before, during and after the purchase. Before we closed, two turn-key properties came up on Zillowthat we absolutely loved. We made a trip out to Tucson just to be sure we were making the right decision with our "fixer" - We passed on them, but those houses were very tempting. Nick recommended contractors and inspectors so we could get things inspected during our 10 day inspection period. He really made this part of the transaction go smoothly. My husband and Nick did the final walk through. Nick was with us every step of the way. After the sale we got a notice from the city that we had a water leak. One of our neighbors saw the notice and called the listing agent who in turn called Nick. Nick called us and was kind enough to go to the property to turn the water off for us. The only area that I felt didn't go as smoothly as I would have hoped is with the lenders they recommended. There was some miscommunication that was really inconvenient especially around the holidays. I would highly recommend Nicole and Nick if you are looking to buy a property in Tucson. They are both professional, unpretentious, and know the area extremely well. It was a pleasure to work with them and we appreciate all their time and care.

I reached out to my relocation agent who recommended Karen Baughman above all other agents. I was told Karen is one of their best and she had no doubts that Karen will turn things around. Before I even got off the phone with my relocation agent, I missed a call from Karen. I was impressed with Karen's responsiveness to reach out to me within minutes of being assigned to us. Karen Baughman is by far one of the best Real Estate Agents working in the Tucson and surrounding areas. Karen made the entire process stress free. She was on call 24/7 always available, always willing to go above and beyond to answer questions or keep us up to speed on all matters relating to buy our home. You can immediately tell that Karen is highly experienced, and knowledgeable, not only as a seasoned realtor who knows what's a good buy or not but also with the market and with the communities in the area. I really appreciated Karen's professionalism and intuition on when to apply humor to situations when needed. Karen was by our side the entire way and was even with us during the final title signing to make sure things were what they were supposed to be. I couldn't recommend anyone better. If you are in need or not happy with your current agent, switch to Karen ASAP. You won't regret it.

I was re/searching property management companies for my first-ever rental property. I wanted…read moresomething local but also an agency that had longevity and, of course, good reputation/reviews. I recognized early that given the sheer impossibility of satisfying all tenants, or owners, no property mgmt company is going to have higher than a 4-star average. And then I came across R.A. with a solid 4+ star average. As I read through dozens and dozens of reviews (here and other platforms), there were a couple of managers themselves who stood out. One was Laina (who turns out to be a supervisor) and the other was Irene. My first inquiries (whether to retain them, what I need to know to be a good LL, and what to watch out for) were directed to Laina as I was preliminarily curious about their management style, prerequisites, and costs. I was especially concerned about the tenant vetting and application process. Laina was extraordinary - always easy to reach and never rushed me in my relentlessly probing questions. I was impressed by the guarantees and the no-commitment promise that RA stands by as well (that's confidence!). Once I had finally settled on RA to manage the house I had purchased I was fortunate to be assigned to Irene. She is meticulous, punctual, responsive, demanding, patient, persistent, and somehow still manages to accomplish all that with good nature. I wouldn't want anyone possessing less than every one of those standards to be responsible for supervising my home. She is also accessible by direct texting and email and has always responded within hours if not minutes. When I thought my house was ready to be listed Irene stopped by to lend her critical eye. I kid you not, she found 15-18 things that needed fixing, cleaning, removing, painting, or installing. And fair warning, many of those issues are deal-breakers for RA (refusing to publish my rental until they were fixed). However, their high operational standards translate into presentability. It took me, plus a hired handyman, almost 2 weeks working every evening and wknd to get the entire list finished... and it made a world of difference. It's remarkable what "you can live with" vs what is appropriately marketable. R.A. was running a summer retainer special of $599 that included all of the above and also professional photos for the listing - on par with the industry. The $99 flat fee/month for management was another selling point. There are a couple of companies that will manage for slightly less (e.g., $75/mo) and a couple that charge a flat 10% per month no matter how high the rental price is (which is ab$urd). RA's costs include two random inspections/year, the dreaded eviction scenario, and it places them between you and the tenant as the primary contact for all things - from complaints, to rent, to repairs. Once you've hired RA, you'll get a monthly newsletter and occasional articles about being a "landlord" and about market conditions in your metro area. They are loaded with helpful tidbits and illuminating graphics. Note: rent is typically due from the tenants on the first of the month but the transfer to your bank account will occur on the 10th or 11th of the month so digure how to float your mrtg payments accordingly. There is a bricks/mortar location just north of Campbell/Ft. Lowell and that was also important to me - to lend legitimacy to the company. It is modest, with basically a front desk and small office but it's staffed by a receptionist M-F from whom you can get sample documents and preliminary questions answered too. At the end of the day, property management is 30% fees/costs and 70% skilled diplomacy -- between owner/Mgmt and between tenant/Mgmt. You need to have those relationships working smoothly, precisely because of the inherent friction points that they so easily generate. In Laina and Irene RA's mgmt team does a tremendous job navigating each.
