Integrating Home Search Apps for Top-Tier Client Experiences
Our unique approach to giving buyers the best home-search experience. If you’re searching for a home in Phoenix, we know how to help you find the best deals in the market. Let me share some insights today about integrating popular real estate apps into our own home search process. Over the years, real estate agents like myself have aimed to provide clients with exclusive apps and websites for property searches. Traditionally, we advised against using platforms like Zillow and Redfin, encouraging the use of our own tools instead. But because we aim to give our clients the best and most convenient home search experience, we’ve integrated popular apps with our own home search system. So, if you’re house hunting in the Valley and come across a property on Zillow or Redfin, simply use the "share" feature to send it to me. On your mobile device, you can text me the listing directly. I will then pull up the MLS report, run some comparisons, and provide a detailed analysis of the property's value. With over 25 years of experience in the Valley, I can offer insights into whether a home is fairly priced or not. "Since both Zillow and Redfin have user-friendly sharing options, it’s easy to share a listing with me so I can give a thorough evaluation." On your desktop, you can email the listing to me, and on your mobile device, you can text it. My contact information is available to all my clients, but if you need it, just send me an email and I’ll get you set up. While our proprietary apps and website are excellent for saving searches and conducting detailed inquiries, Zillow and Redfin are great for quick looks and spontaneous finds. If you spot a property, even in your neighborhood, that piques your interest, feel free to send it my way. I'll provide a thorough evaluation and let you know my professional opinion. If you’re considering buying a home in Phoenix, whether it’s sooner or later, it’s best to plan ahead. If you want to get the best deals here, feel free to reach out to me. Just call (602) 909-5994 or visit our website at www.PhoenixHomeHunters.com. I look forward to talking with you!
What to Do When Unemployment Affects Your Mortgage Payments
Discover expert options you can take when you can’t pay your mortgage. Are you worried about missing mortgage payments? You’re not alone. With rising unemployment rates and an uncertain economy, many homeowners face challenging decisions about managing their mortgage payments. Recently, I spoke with a client whose son lost his job and was concerned about making future house payments. This brought back memories of the 2008-2011 foreclosure crisis when I handled numerous short sales and witnessed homeowners depleting their life savings or borrowing extensively to stay afloat. Back then, I saw people across the table drained from trying to keep up with mortgage payments. Many resorted to borrowing from friends, using home equity lines of credit, or liquidating their savings—often leading to financial ruin. The key takeaway from that time was the importance of understanding all available options before making any drastic financial moves. "An expert will guide you through a financial crisis to help save your home or safeguard your future" Today, the housing market is different, and most people have some equity in their homes. However, it wouldn’t be wise to drain your savings or take on more debt without exploring alternatives. If you or someone you know is facing financial difficulties, especially with mortgage payments, it’s best to consult with an expert who can guide you through the available options. Sometimes, missing payments or considering a short sale may be more strategic than exhausting all your resources. For those facing tough times, don’t make the mistake of acting out of fear or without a solid plan. Before making any significant financial decisions, reach out to someone like me who can provide clear, knowledgeable advice. Remember, there are often more options than initially apparent, and making informed decisions now can save you from long-term consequences. If you’re going through a tough time, call me at 602-909-5994 or email me at bobhertzog@gmail.com. I know exactly how to help you. Always remember: tough times don’t last, but smart decisions will benefit you for a long time.
