Tip Tuesday, 4-8 Min Real Estate Tips There is a new Arizona real estate issue home buyers and homeowners should have on their radar. ​ ​ The Arizona Attorney General recently sued MV Realty, alleging the company offered homeowners upfront cash in exchange for future exclusive listing rights that could last as long as 40 years, with memoranda recorded against their properties. The AG’s complaint alleges those recorded documents could interfere with a future sale, refinance, transfer, or other transaction. ​ ​ The lawsuit is still pending, so the AG’s allegations have not been adjudicated in that case. Separately, the Arizona Department of Real Estate previously issued enforcement orders involving MV Realty entities and recorded memorandums in Arizona. ​ ​ This does not mean home buyers should panic, but it does mean the title report matters. ​ ​ In this Real Estate Tip Tuesday episode, Ryan and I are talking about why unusual recorded documents should never be brushed off, how a title issue could affect financing or closing, and why buyers, agents, lenders, and title companies need to communicate early when something unexpected shows up. ​ ​ Most transactions will probably never encounter this issue, but if MV Realty or any unusual memorandum appears during the title search, it is worth investigating before closing. ​ ​ ​ Connect with Team EvoAZ: Text ConnectWithKatie to 480-508-9828 ​ Connect with Ryan:Text ConnectWithRyan to 480-508-9828 ​ ​ ​ Want to browse Phoenix area homes?

Tip Tuesday, 4-7 Min Real Estate Tips We have heard this more than once on listing appointments this year: home sellers being told they are required to pay a buyer’s agent fee. ​ That word matters. ​ There is a big difference between a required fee and a negotiable strategy. In this Real Estate Tip Tuesday episode, Ryan and I are talking through what home sellers need to understand before making decisions about buyer’s agent compensation, how that conversation can affect home buyers, and why the right strategy matters. ​ Home sellers deserve clear information, not pressure or scare tactics. ​ In AZ, broker fees and commissions are fully negotiable and not set by law, and home sellers can still choose to offer buyer broker compensation, though it cannot be offered through the MLS. ​ ​ #HomeSellingTips #RealEstateTips #ArizonaRealEstate ​ ​ Connect with Team EvoAZ: Text ConnectWithKatie to 480-508-9828 ​ Connect with Ryan:Text ConnectWithRyan to 480-508-9828 ​ ​ Want to browse Phoenix area homes?
