Buyer Case Studies - We Protect You

Buying a home may be the largest investment that you will make. Wouldn't you like to use a buyer's agent who will help you avoid the pitfalls that are lurking around the corner? Nancy and Brian are here to walk you safely through the minefield.

Do you know that the Arizona real estate purchase contract exempts the real estate agent from having to research their client's property? Do you know that 100% of new real estate agents are told to be the "source of the source" to avoid future lawsuits? What is the point of enlisting a real estate agent if they are not going to use their expertise to keep you out of danger?

Please take a look at the case studies to the left. After reading them, decide whether you would like your agent to help you avoid similar snafus. We may not be perfect, but we are pretty darn good!

Please contact Nancy and Brian Biggs prior to shopping for a home. We will take very good care of you and your hard-earned money.

The Driveway Debacle

We had a past client call us the other day in panic. We will call him Bob. Names have been changed to protect the innocent. His new neighbor, Nabob, told Bob that Bob's driveway was on Nabob's property, and that Bob would have to start paying Nabob rent to use the driveway.

Your Legal Description is Wrong

We had an interesting transaction last year. Our clients, the Marbles, (names have been changed), were looking for a second home. We found an estate property that was a really good deal. The property was held in a trust. The owner had passed away, and his children (the successor trustees) were selling the property.

There's a Septic Tank?

Our clients wanted to purchase a property is a subdivision that happened to have a private water and sewer system. The MLS record for this property, and indeed for every property for sale in this subdivision, lists Private Sewer, and says nothing about septics. We were quite taken aback when the sellers disclosure mentioned an alternative septic system. We further researched the property, and found a septic permit for the property.

Your Foundation is Illegal

Our clients were interested in a manufactured home property off of Hwy 169. This property was fun to research in that it had one problem after another. The most interesting issue was a deed restriction, but we'll get to that in a minute.

Where's the Permit?

This is an unfortunate case that happens all the time. These were not our clients, but they later contacted us when they decided to move into a larger home. They were unhappy with their previous agent, who did almost no research for them and rarely gave an opinion about anything. When they started describing their current home, we quickly realized which house it was. We had previously shown this house to another client who walked away from it after our research. The home has an unpermitted Arizona room.
