As an agent who lives in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:
Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home
Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.
Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.

Darlene B Realtor formerly The Brigg Team
One of the most important decisions I made in my life was becoming a REALTOR® because it gives me the power and flexibility to help people. My clients are like family—I treat them the way I want to be treated. Their goals are my goals.
What I find truly gratifying, is being able to earn trust that leads to repeat business and referrals. I do this by remaining responsive to each client's unique needs and staying intimately acquainted with the communities I serve. Never complacent, I analyze every situation from a number of different angles to determine the best course for my clients to take, and my strong negotiation skills ensure that they receive the best value on their home. Real estate is all about connecting with people, and communication is key!
I'm originally from a small town in Kansas. I've lived in Arizona for over fifteen years now. The West Valley is a fascinating place to retire because so many of us are transplants. I'm always learning something new and interesting about the people around me. I love the friendliness of the area, particularly in my church, where the parishioners always have a smile and a kind word for me.
I'm a family-minded person at heart. I love spending time with my loved ones, which include my three dogs and my cat.
