How do I find a good buyer's agent in Phoenix?
Look for an agent who specializes in the areas you're considering and works with buyers regularly. They should be responsive, explain the Arizona purchase contract and timeline clearly, and be willing to discuss how they're compensated under the new buyer broker agreement requirements. Ask how many transactions they've closed recently, how they handle multiple offer situations, and whether they'll be the one actually showing you homes and writing your offers. Check reviews, but also trust your gut during initial conversations. A good fit means someone who listens to your priorities, doesn't pressure you, and communicates in a way that works for you. Jon would be happy to discuss how he works with buyers in the north valley and answer any questions you have about the process.
