My First Home

I have wanted my own home since College. I would read articles on how to prepare your credit and save for a down payment. When I finally graduated and got a job I got really excited to start looking for my home....Well, they were all out of my price range. I kept renting and then 2 years later, house prices started to go down. I was finally able to buy. My mom is a REALTOR so we went out to see about 25 houses in the small area I knew I wanted to live in. The first house I saw ended up being the best and I bought it!  My mom did a great job negotiating with the bank and getting them to purchase a new  air conditioning unit, all the appliances, toilets, shower doors, faucets and even the missing doorknobs. My first home buying experience was fantastic...the house appraised for $12,000 more than I paid and because it was my first home, I qualified for the $8,000 Buyer Tax Credit. Thanks Mom!

Stunning Paradise Valley Home

By: Paul and Pauline Davies:

It is my pleasure to express my appreciation for the excellent service we received from Sue Barnes. She was unfailingly helpful, patient, courteous and knowledgeable. Our criteria for a family home was depressingly long and complicated, but nothing was too much trouble for Sue. Eventually we found the perfect house, thanks to her hard work. Everything was handled smoothly and we could relax, knowing that Sue was on our side. She made the entire experience very easy and enjoyable. When we moved in, we found we actually missed our house-hunting expeditions with Sue! We can thoroughly recommend her.

We Love Our House!!

I recently sold and bought a home with Sue as my agent and could not have been more pleased. Since I was doing this all on my own, I had many questions and Sue seemed to anticipate them before being asked. Once the offer was made and accepted, she helped me find my new home and I managed to move in less that 3 weeks. One of her greatest assets is her calm in the "storm." She is very knowledgeable and stays level and cool-headed when the rest of us fall victim to the craziness of this business. I'd recommend her to anyone.

I have a deep admiration for this lady. She gives unparalled customer service. I looked at so many homes I lost count, trying to find "the one". Sue's patience never wavered! Her attitude and positive outlook kept me optimistic that it was out there somewhere. And it was! She made sure everything was taken care of and within a couple of weeks I had a new home. Just in time for Christmas! I just can't say enought nice things about the great, professional, friendly, and fun person that she is!

Shannon Katt & her first home

By Shannon Katt:

As a single 30 year old woman and first time home buyer I had no idea what buying a home entailed, but I was sure there were a lot of things that could go wrong. Sue took care of everything. I gave her a list of “must haves” and “don’t cares”, and the area of the city I wanted to live in. From that Sue showed me only those homes that fit my needs. We looked at several homes 3 days in a row but it turned out that one we looked at the first day was the one I wanted.

From there I was unaware anything was happening. Sue handled every detail only notifying me if I needed to be somewhere. We closed less than a month later. It was absolutely effortless.

I’ve since become close personal friends with Sue and see how much effort she puts into her work. Clients always come first.

Becky Katt relocating from California

By: Becky Katt

I was planning to move from California to Arizona to start a new job. Selling my home in California, starting a new job and having another home in Arizona was a tall order. Since my sister had already worked with Sue and knew the type of home I would like, they worked hard together before I arrived which made it so easy for me. My sister had narrowed the choices to 3 homes before I drove in. I picked one and Sue made sure the rest of the process went without effort on our part. Sue works hard to make sure the process goes as smooth as possible for her clients. Thanks Sue!

Relocation with Debbie & Pat

Again, I want to thank you for your great support and warm welcome to us each time we had contact or questions. You were very helpful and I will refer you to anyone I know in need of your service. When I have a house warming party I will contact you with an invite.
Sincerely,
Debbie and Pat

We have known Sue as a friend for many years so when we decided to move to the Phoenix area, we called her and  were delighted to discover what a great Realtor she is. She helped us to compare resale with new construction and showed us several properties in different areas along with new homes. We decided on a new spec home and she helped us with the whole process! We don't hesitate to recommend her to our friends.

"I bought my home through working with Sue and have since referred anyone I could think of to her. What I found was that Sue works hard and dilligently. Once she knows the type of home and neighborhood you are interested in, she previews when possible and makes appointments with you and the homeowners on your timetable. Most important for me, Sue discusses how and to whom "the offer" will be presented and follows up to negotiate the best possible contract for the buyer.

Sue can get you everything else you need and is quite willing to work with anyone of your choosing...if the offer is turned down for any reason, Sue gets right back up and starts looking for the home that will be even better for you...that's why I say, do yourself a favor...work with and refer Sue Barnes for your Real Estate needs!
