Sellers:
My advice is to know your market, if I'm not selling your home make sure your agent paints you a good picture of your subdivision and surrounding area. Know which homes are in foreclosure and the ones that have been on the market for a year. Know your competition in your neighborhood will allow you to price your home well. The added foreclosures entering the market can saturate your bottom line. Sellers need an open mind when pricing and alternative selling techniques. Call me and I can explain what I'm talking about.
Buyers:
One word - "Foreclosures" This is where the market is. You can expect to find homes under market value. In some cases these foreclosure have renters ready to move in. If you are interested in my foreclosure list give me a call or send me an email. AzForecloseList@EmmetAcebedo.com

About Emmet Acebedo:
I was born and raised in Long Beach, Ca. I moved to Arizona twelve years ago, to flee the overpriced housing market and to get more serious about school. After graduating from DeVry University Phoenix with an Electronic Degree I went to work for a French owned High Frequency Component Company. 5 years later and plenty of frequent flyer miles, I wanted to work at a place with a little less foreign politics. I decided I could focus my energy toward Real Estate. I was raised around parents that bought and sold real estate just about every two years. As I noticed early on in real estate it seemed easy to buy and sell with out representation and contracts were 1 page. As the years went on I noticed the apprehension and continuing uneasiness my parents had through represented buyers and sellers. I felt I needed to do something about it, now my parent have someone that they can count on and trust and that makes me happy. Since moving to Scottsdale, Arizona and missing the surf and sand that is 5 hours away.
