After spending time talking over the phone Mike offered to watch the listings for us and send over good matches via e-mail. My wife gave Mike very specific parameters for our lease needs with our move to the Phoenix area...suburbs we were interested in, specific needs in the neighborhood, commute range, etc. Mike sent listings that were dead on with what we were looking for vs. other Realtors that sent loads of misc. listings that we would have to cull through. Mike kept in touch without being pushy (much appreciated), he took us out to view possible housing and in half a day we found a great house in a great location within our price range. Mike also has a comprehensive and helpful website. (link provided in business info). I highly recommend Mike Rapaport.

I would highly recommend Michael and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again if I ever need to purchase another home. It always nice to help out your friend who is a relator but when making what could be the most important financial decisions, you want someone who is experienced, knowledgeable and will actually do their job well.

For a corporate relocation we selected to work with Brian Adamski after viewing him online. Our…read moreinitial conversations with him confirmed he was a great fit for us. He was extremely available to us, very knowledgeable on the Ahwatukee and greater Phoenix area and once he determined our needs consistently helped us remember what we were looking for even when we were tempted to settle. He worked fantastically with our relocation company throughout the entire process. We also counted on Brian to negotiate some needed repairs and he was knowledgeable, gave sound advice and fair. Brian also had great contacts for anything which was super helpful for this out of state move. After our house hunting trip, Brian has to help us out with several inspections and other items and we handled it all with us out of state. It was a blessing to work with Brian and if we get relocated again we will utilize his services again for sure!

I needed an experienced, pro-active Realtor to help me sell my Ahwatukee home and Brian was just the ticket! He is professional and knowledgeable. With his guidance, I sold my home at a much higher price than I expected and within DAYS of listing! In fact, he helped get me $35,000 more than another Realtor had advised as a list price! Brian is very organized with the paperwork, which can be very daunting to first-timers. He uses excellent connections- I was very happy with the photographer he hired, the app used to schedule showings, and the title company. Brian is very genuine, and was open and accommodating to what was most important to me. I definitely recommend Brian- you will not be disappointed with his results!

I attribute this to the presence him and his team have, as well as a great MLS listing with amazing pictures. People were drooling to come look at my house. I had a very unique house which made for a difficult sale that not any realtor could handle, which is why i chose Jason. It was quickly obvious that we made the right choice. His extensive knowledge and years in the business helped protect me from a situation that could have gone bad. In many instances he had to school the buyers realtor on how to do his job and how to work together to keep the deal alive.

Jason's price was almost 10% higher than the other agents were telling us. Usually I shy away from a realtor suggesting a higher price, as often they are just saying that to get the listing. Jason used a different method to arrive at his price compared to what other realtors showed us. When he showed us why he was 10% higher, it made sense. Best of all is that it worked! If I ever need a realtor in the East Valley again, Jason Hall is the one I'll call.

Review for AZ flat fee:…read more If you have any doubts about AZ flat fee please read my 100% honest review of our experience. When I was looking for a realtor to sell my home, I came across AZ flat fee and was intrigued. I researched them, had a meeting with Katie and was still a little skeptical. Once I figured out that they are incredibly affordable, I started to get really skeptical. I wondered if the pictures would be nice, if they would get it on Zillow and realtor.com and social media like they said they would, and most importantly, I wondered what their level of customer service would be like. When somebody is potentially saving you upwards of $15,000, you start thinking that it's too good to be true. Well let me tell you, I am living proof that they are most definitely not too good to be true, and they live up to everything that they say they are and more. Our west valley home sold incredibly fast (within 3 days from listing!) and for $20,000 over asking. In addition the buyers also wanted to purchase our furniture and AZ Flatfee also handled the selling of all of our furniture and they negotiated a rent-back so we could have time to find a new place. All for $5,500. You can simply not beat that. I'm also going to be honest and say that I am not the easiest customer. Let's just say I'm very passionate (maybe a tad bit demanding). Of course in any real estate transaction there are times of tension, it just happens, but MJ, Kathleen, and Kylie came together as a team and was able to meet every single one of my demands with professionalism and kindness. When you deal with AZ Flatfee you have a whole team working for you, not just 1 realtor. It's amazing and in a sense your actually paying less for more! Anyways, if you were on the fence about using AZ Flatfee services I would highly, HIGHLY, recommend them and if I had to do it all over, I would use them again in a heartbeat. Special thanks again to MJ, Kathleen, and Kylie. You guys are the epitome of first class customer service. AZ Flatfee is lucky to have you 3. Thanks for everything-Kate

10/10, 5 STARS, I can't recommend them enough! Mark and Mickie are a valuable team to utilize when…read moresearching for and buying a new home. Despite having owned and sold two homes prior, we didn't really know where to start with a new construction and we relied heavily on their expertise and advice to get us started and through the process with our builder. I truly believe we had a relatively smooth build due to Mark and Mickie's presence with the builder project managers and sales office. We had so many questions during the build process and both Mark and Mickie were able to answer them quickly and effectively. Their skill also helped us make better informed choices that will ultimately provide us a higher return on our investment. Without the Newman's, I fear we would have not allocated our money optimally towards options and possibly overspent in the wrong areas. Mickie's eye for design, general cost of upgrades and knowledge of what sells a home helped us make the overwhelming fast-paced two-day design center appointments much easier and cost-effective. After our pre-drywall inspection, we had a serious concern brought to our attention and Mark was persistent in getting the matter addressed by the project managers and was able to reach a resolution to ensure our safety. I would never want to build a home without realtor help. There were many instances throughout the process where we wondered, "Is this normal?" and Mark and Mickie were both right there to tell us yes or no, and if no, they followed up on our behalf, which really saved our sanity. We are so thankful we had this honest, hardworking and personable team on our side.

From start to finish, Mark went so far above and beyond! Mark was referred to us by family, and now we understand why everyone raves about him. He combines deep market knowledge with genuine care and integrity. Buying your first home can be overwhelming, especially doing it from out of state, but Mark made the process seamless. He was proactive with updates, incredibly responsive to every question (no matter how small), and always ten steps ahead in anticipating what we might need. What really stood out was how much Mark truly advocates for his clients. He didn't just help us find a house -- he guided us through inspections, offered honest advice at every decision point, and connected us with trusted local resources. His professionalism is top‑tier, but he also has such a warm, personal touch that made us feel supported and confident every step of the way. If you're looking for an experienced, trustworthy, and genuinely kind realtor who will treat your purchase or sale like it's his own, look no further than Mark Newman. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone we know. He made our very first home‑buying experience exciting, smooth, and truly memorable -- and we are beyond grateful.

I don't think I'd ever be able to fully describe how great of a realtor Shawn is but I will try to…read morecapture the high points below. If you don't have the time to read the detailed breakdown, all I can say is he is the best and most diligent realtor I have ever come across and you sell yourself short going with anyone else. Now the details: 1) Price/Neighborhood Analysis - when interviewing candidates to sell my home, most of the realtors had a rudimentary analysis of the value of my home (basically using comps from a database). Shawn actually came in with a professional proposal that included a logical breakdown of the area, the market, the market trends, historical price changes during the term that I owned the home and other tangible/intangible items to develop a strategic pricing analysis. In the end, I was both satisfied and confident with the listing price for my home. His proposal also included a detailed marketing plan, which he followed and delivered on and was also instrumental in developing visibility and value for my home. 2) Preparation - Before formally listing my house, Shawn provided guidance on preparation of the house to ensure that it showed all of its glory to potential buyers. This included how to stage the inside of the home, as well as items that needed/should/recommended/considered to be done on the outside. Shawn did a walk-through of the home and recommended items to be fixed/replace in order to maximize the appeal and value of the home. Where needed, Shawn provided recommendations on service providers who were competent and professional. 3) Marketing - the marketing of the home was brilliant. The photographs, brochures and listings were incredibly professional and effective. His marketing plan also included leveraging neighborhood residents, industry contacts and other sources to maximize visibility of the listing. 4) Communications - as an out-of-state seller, I was very concerned about being remote for the entire selling process. Shawn and his team were diligent in ensuring I was kept up to date with all developments (whether client visits, buyer feedback as they walked through the home, updates to offers, negations, progress and closing). When needed, Shawn would text me real time updates and when not so critical, he and his team would provide detailed information via phone calls or emails. I never once had to worry about missing out or not being aware of developments. Again, as an out-of-state seller this was incredibly important (and useful) for me. 4) Negotiations - Shawn was a real pro through this process. Always keeping me in the loop on discussions, providing feedback and recommendation when warranted and ensuring both I and the buyer were comfortable with the terms we agreed and worked through. 5) Close - Again, Shawn and his team were communicating and guiding me through the entire process. As in most complex, high-priced sales negotiations there are always one or two major issues that pop up at the end and selling my home was no different. Ten (10) days before the close, we discovered an issue that needed to be addressed before the buyer would sign the final paperwork. Not only did Shawn provide guidance on addressing the issue but aligned and coordinated the resources to address the item and ensure the close happened on time. In closing out this extended review, I want to reiterate my highest level of recommendation for Shawn. Throughout the entire process, I do not have one single negative comment to say and more positive things to say or list then I could possibly include in this space. If you are going to sell your home, you will never find more honorable, respectful and capable realtor than Shawn. Finally, I do want to state that this is not a fake or paid review. In fact, I am willing to make myself available as a reference to anyone considering Shawn to be their representative in a real estate transaction. I'm happy to have Shawn put you in contact with me, if needed.

Because of the Pandemic, many organizations are experiencing a lack of staff, and, some have had to…read morehire a makeshift staff that may not have much practical real estate experience. Moreover, I've found that many realtors have only recently become licensed, and therefore they haven't yet built a worthy network of business contacts and clients. The net effect of having so many "newbies" or "part timers" entering the real estate industry means you have to be extremely pragmatic and careful when selecting your real estate representative. When my wife and I decided to sell our primary home of 26 years, we selected The Mojo Team, specifically, Morgan Hodges, to represent us. Morgan and his family were neighbors and friends of ours, which was very nice. But just as important, Morgan had an incredibly detailed knowledge of the neighborhood and the market, plus, he had a admirable network of potential buyers and investors, qualities and attributes that sadly many realtors do not have. After briefly speaking with Morgan, he quickly put a game plan together. What impressed us the most was that Morgan's first question was, "What do you want to get out of this sale?" We gave him a sales figure we had in mind, but we also explained that we were very private people and we're not enthused about the prospect of "open house showings" and a parade of strangers invading our privacy. Morgan assured us the selling process would not be painful nor lengthy. And those assurances were kept. In coordination with Dana Litz, Mojo's outstanding Operations Director, a contract was signed, and professional photos were taken of our home. But no showings were necessary, for within an incredibly short time, Morgan had surfaced a qualified buyer who made a full price cash offer that met our financial goals. It also relieved us of the burden and stress of having to open our home up to strangers. Dana's communication skills were impeccable. Liking customers is a behavior, and something that can't be trained. Dana updated my wife and I frequently, and also walked us through the entire sales process. And because of the ongoing Pandemic, and our reluctance to conduct too much business in person, the myriad of necessary paperwork was accomplished via DocuSign, which also included a virtual notary and wire bank transfer of funds (always the best part for sellers). I could go on, but I'll leave you with this advice. Sure, you can sell your home yourself, or try using one of the dubious "flat fee" real estate websites. But if you want the highest market price for your home, with the least amount of hassles, then look no further than The Mojo Team. That will be one if the best decisions you'll ever make when it comes to selling your property professionally
