For Renters

The Phoenix metropolitan area including: Maricopa, Chandler, Mesa, Ahwatukee, Tempe, Casa Grande, Arizona City, Florence, Coolidge, Sun Lakes, Chandler Heights, Higley, Apache Junction, Fountain Hills, Scottsdale, Queen Creek, Gold Canyon, Gilbert, Paradise Valley, Laveen, Glendale, Buckeye, Tonopah, Surprise, Desert Hills, Tolleson and Peoria areas provide a wide range of attractive housing options. If now is not the right time for you to buy a home or condo/townhome, there are many options for renting/leasing. Once I know what you are looking for in a property, I can go to work to find the perfect home or condo for you. I have the experience to educate you on the advantages of living in each area of the Valley. For your convenience, I also provide listings by email from a searchable database of Arizona rentals which include single family homes, townhomes, lofts, duplexes, triplexes, homes for lease purchase or lease option, vacation rentals, manufactured homes, city bungalows, lakeside condos, historic homes, horse property, homes on airstrips and golf resort communites with heated pools, spas, ramadas and clubhouse. Once you find the home or condo/townhome you want to rent/lease, you will be expected to fill out a rental application form and submit monies for a credit report, earnest deposit and the first month's rent/lease.

As Your Agent, I will:

Assure that you see all the properties in the area that meet your criteria.

Guide you through the entire renting process, from finding property's to view, to getting the application process completed.

Answer all of your questions about the local market area, including schools, neighborhoods, the local economy, and more.

Share with you information on how renters qualify for IRS tax deductions.

Advise you of your legal rights as a tenant.

Before You Start Looking:

Check your credit rating. Straighten out any errors before it's too late.

Determine a comfortable monthly budget for your family.

Choose a real estate team that you trust and who understands your needs.

Determine what neighborhood best matches your needs.

Identify important features you need your property to have.

Other things to look for!

Age of Rental

Are you looking for a new property or something with a traditional appeal?

Type of Property and Location

Would you prefer a single or split-level? A townhouse/condo or a single-family residence? I will give you a run down of possible neighborhoods to help you decide which area would be best for you.

Monthly Rent

What is your price range? I will help you determine if the asking price for each property is reasonable for its size and location.

Pet Needs

Pets will decrease your renting/leasing options. If you have a pet, you should expect to pay a higher monthly rent/lease and security deposit. In addition, the options for dog owners are much less than those for cat owners.

Number of Bedrooms

It's always best to choose a property that will comfortably accommodate the size of your family. Even if it means paying a little more, your family will appreciate a better quality of life.

Also, consider the following:

Proximity to shopping and public transportation

Closet space and storage options

Quality of Landlord

Amenities - laundry room, pool, patios

Safety of area

Gather the following documentation before looking at properties:

Driver's License

Social Security number

Job history (with addresses and phone numbers of immediate supervisors and income)

Rental history (including addresses and phone numbers of landlord's and duration of stay)

Three personal and professional references

Income verification (one month pay stubs)

Considering a Lease Option?

A lease option (rent to own) can be a great advantage to homebuyers. I can show you how to get into a home with very little cash up front. Tenant/Buyer Advantages - Move into the home of your dreams today and buy it in the future! Control the property, build equity and be able to take advantage of any appreciation. I can show you how to do it right!

Very low down payment (1% to 3% vs. 8% to 20%)

No loan qualification necessary up-front

Rent money is working for you (a portion of the rent normally applies to the purchase price)

Any option consideration (cash up front to move in) is credited 100% towards the purchase price and possibly towards the down payment

Price is usually locked in up-front

Profit from any appreciation and have the ability to sell or sublet the property

Time to check out the home (leaky roofs, plumbing, heating etc.)

Time to check out the neighborhood and neighbors (noise, schools, shopping, traffic)

Time to obtain the best financing (no pressure, no rush and no bank financing up-front).

Buys time to repair credit or develop needed down payment

Quick move in time

No lengthy escrows or loan approvals

Control the home of your dreams today which you can buy or resell in the future.
