Search Tools for Scottsdale Real Estate

I receive many registrations daily from people who have found my website by using search terms such as Scottsdale real estate or Cave Creek homes, for example.  Sometimes, I wonder how some people find my site since their searches are not in areas I work in, but they found my website using some kind of search terms.

The visitors that register to use my MLS search (or IDX) are free to search in our very large multiple listing service that covers the Greater Phoenix area.  You can create multiple searches if you'd like and you can save them and get listings e-mailed to you.

I don't service all of the areas that are in my MLS.  I only work in a specific area of Maricopa communities.  Those are my main areas but I will also go to Fountain Hills and other areas that aren't listed, so always contact me if in doubt.  When you register for my MLS search, you are free to put in any area(s) you want.  If I do not service that area I can find you a local agent that does.

When you read through the features of a listing, you have the ability to save it and/or e-mail me directly to ask for more information.  Every once in a while I'll get a site visitor that sends me multiple properties every day that they want "more information" on.  Most of the time I can't provide much more than what is in the description from my website.

My listing descriptions are very good and give a lot of information, including the current status of a listing (towards the bottom left of the description page).  If you see a status of Contingent, that means there is an accepted offer but it has not closed yet.  In most cases, there are no further showings, but some Scottsdale home sellers accept backup offers.

Not all agents list the words "foreclosure", "bank owned" or "short sale," not even in our MLS.  Sometimes I can only tell if I look in an area for agent comments only. So no matter where you find the listing, you cannot read that private information.  However, there are words that give away that it is a foreclosure such as corporate-owned, the seller will not pay for a survey (and a list of items the seller won't pay for).

My website listing description is not 100% the same as a listing straight from the MLS.  If you want to be set up for an automated MLS search with new listings sent to your e-mail, then feel free to fill out my Homefinder Form.  This way you don't have to keep searching daily and possibly miss that perfect property.  You can also checkmark the properties you're interested in and I am able to view those so you don't have to double your work by sending me further addresses or MLS numbers.

I have strived to make this website easy to use and navigate while providing you with the information you need and want as a buyer or seller.  Please use it as it best suits you and know that you have a couple of different ways of accessing listings in your area, your price range, and the amenities you want.
