Selling a Tucson Home may be different then in other areas of the United States. Two big exceptions are –
First, if you are selling a home in Arizona you do not need an attorney. Arizona State statutes give a licensed Realtor the authority to act as an attorney on behalf of a client.
This authority is very narrow. It ONLY covers the buying or selling Arizona real estate.
Second, even though a Arizona Licensed Realtor has “legal” authority, they ONLY need to:
Be 18 years old
Complete a 90 hour licensing course
Pass a real estate school and State examination
Anything missing?
How about a related educational background & meaningful EXPERIENCE !
A critical question to ask yourself when selecting a Tucson Realtor is “how qualified are they to understand my real estate interests and objectives?”
In most cases selling a Tucson home has big financial impact on your future. Who do you want working for you when selling a Tucson home?
Is 20 years in real estate REALLY being qualified or just 1 year of real estate experience 20 times?
We believe as Tucson Realtors we provide our clients a lot more! Much More!!

Make Your Home Standout – For You and When You Sell
Put these home improvement projects at the top of your “to do” list if you are thinking of selling your home? Or giving it a face lift?
Consider upgrades that will boost your home’s value and make it more appealing to buyers.
Here are five home upgrades you won’t regret and are well worth the investment.
Home Improvement Project #1 – A Bathroom Renovation
The bathroom is one of the most valuable rooms in the house. And the second-best room to renovate. Right after the kitchen.
If you choose to undergo a full bathroom remodel, you could recoup 63.8% of the cost in resale value. Maybe more, if you spend wisely!
Is it worth taking out a loan to help pay for your renovation? That depends how long you will live in the home before selling. And update the flooring, shower area, and fixtures may not cost all that much.
Don’t want to spend a ton of money on a bathroom renovation? Make smaller changes first—start with new shower fixtures and a new sink faucet.
You could also swap out your old shower curtain for a more modern one. Or upgrade your bathroom storage to woven baskets for a farmhouse-chic feel.
Home Improvement Project #2 – New Paint
Upgrading your walls with a fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest upgrades. And for cost-conscious homeowners it provides plenty of opportunities to showcase your personality.
The average cost to paint a 120-square-foot room is about $100. Not much cost for a big impact. So consider painting all high-impact spaces like the master bedroom or living room.
Additionally, if you’re trying to sell your house, opt for a neutral color. This will make your home more enticing to potential buyers.
Home Improvement Project #3 – Cabinet Upgrades
Invest in some decorative liner to give your cabinets a new look or swap out old knobs for new ones. This simple project is a good way to give your home a luxurious, modern feel.
If you live in the southwest consider tile for your floors. The trend in the southwest is tile and area rugs. Or NO rugs at all. Bedrooms tend to be the exception.
Also consider laying down tiles in the cabinet underneath your sink. Many people ignore this area, but you could make it a usable space with minimal effort.
Home Improvement Project #4 – Energy Efficient Appliances
Another cost-effective home upgrade is replacing your old appliances. New appliances save energy and are a lot more reliable.
And buyers don’t want to buy a home and then start spending money on appliances.
Look for appliances that are ENERGY STAR certified. They use less energy and will save you money in the long run by reducing your electricity bills.
If you don’t want to drop a ton of money on a new appliance, check your home warranty to see if it covers a replacement.
Most warranties will cover appliances that have broken down due to normal wear and tear. So if you have one that’s starting to lose function, this may be your best bet.
But be aware most will “fix” the problem but not replace the appliance unless it is not repairable.
Home Improvement Project #5 – Improved Curb Appeal
It doesn’t take much to enhance curb appeal. Schedule a weekend or two and spruce up the outside of your home.
Tackle these easy tasks. Trim dead branches from trees in your front and backyard.
While you’re at it, be sure to trim hedges and overgrown bushes.
Stain your porch or deck. Pressure wash your driveway, sidewalk, and home’s exterior.
Replace loose or missing shingles on your roof. Clean your gutters. Get rid of weeds and plant a small garden if you have the space.
These items will depend on where you live. In Tucson and much of the southwest, we don’t have hedges and bushes.
Cactus and natural desert foliage is the norm. And crushed granite and boulders a primary landscaping style. Water conservation is a state of mind.
Most southwest homes don’t have decks. Why not. Termites. Wood decks are food carts to termites. But if you have a Ramada over your patio, get it cleaned, repaired and painted.

There are lots of Realtors in Tucson, but the top Tucson Realtor Team is the Boldt Team.
Here’s Why!
Most Realtors have a website presenting their picture and homes for sale in Tucson. It shows you the company they work for and how to contact them. By and large, generic stuff.
And, as with websites, on the surface, all Tucson realtors look alike. But are they…..REALLY?
What makes some realtors so much better? What’s the secret sauce to delivering the highest level of service to each and every client? How do some realtors put the PRO in professional and others don’t?
Choosing a Realtor to work with is one of the single most important steps in buying or selling a home.
Knowing the facts behind 3 Myths about Tucson realtors will help you understand why only a few are at the TOP!
Myth #1 – Its Hard To Become A Tucson Realtor
To be a licensed real estate agent in Arizona a person ONLY needs to:
Be 18 years old.
Complete a 90-hour licensing course.
Pass a real estate school and State examination.
No college or advanced education required. No related experience required.
After 2 1/2 weeks of class and being able to pass a test, you are a licensed real estate agent. And “prepared” to help someone make one of the bigger financial decisions in their life? Maybe NOT.
Yes, we did that. We took the classes, past the real estate school test and the State examination. Ben also passed the Real Estate Brokers exam.
But what may be more important to you is our backgrounds and experience BEFORE becoming Realtors in Tucson.
Our 20+ years of experience as business professionals before becoming Realtors separates us from the 1,000’s of other Realtors in Tucson.
Read Myth #2 and see what we mean.
Myth #2 – Since Everyone Meets The Same Licensing Requirements All Realtors Are Alike
Really? Absolutely NOT!
A rookie attorney doesn’t immediately become a judge. Why? Because they don’t have the accumulated experience to be one. And just because you passed a state real estate licensing exam doesn’t mean you know what you need to know to be a “Professional” real estate agent.
When you select a Realtor to work with, ask them about their educational backgrounds and work experience before becoming a Realtor. Interview them for the job of WORKING FOR YOU to buy or sell a home.

8 Qualities You Should Look For In A Realtor In Tucson AZ
The qualities that we believe distinguish us from other Tucson Realtors, include;
1. We Listen
We have worked with a lot of Real Estate Agents since 2002. Many agents demonstrate a consistent trait, they talk too much!
As a top Agent Duo at Tierra Antigua realty, we take the time to listen to what you want to achieve.
We listen to you and ask questions to confirm we understand your interests, needs and goals.
The better we understand what, how and when you want to own a home in Tucson AZ, the better we can help you achieve YOUR objectives.
We will point out the many interesting things Tucson has to offer and share the good and less good about what makes Tucson a great place to call home.
2. We Communicate
Buying, or selling, can be stressful. Especially when you don’t get the information you need on time. The real estate market is time sensitive.
To achieve your goals, you need agents that let you know not only what is happening, but identifying the next steps to be taken.
We communicate, communicate, communicate!
We understand people want their real estate agents to keep them informed. There is no information we considered inconsequential. We communicate what to expect, what is happening now and what it means to you.
There are new loan and disclosure statements coming on October 1, 2015. These new forms and timelines from CFPB make communication even more critical. These new rules will change the way loan estimates and closing documents will look.
It is expected the new rules will make the home loan and buying process more complicated.
3. We’re Pro-active
As top Tierra Antigua agents in the Tucson Real Estate market we are pro-active.
For buyers, that means we are finding potential issues before they become issues. Explaining what they mean – to you!
We identify the steps, key decisions and dates to keep your transaction on schedule.
For sellers, we contact existing customers and find new leads. The key to being pro-active is keeping you – the client – well informed.
4. We Work For You
We have your interests in mind and this is what that means to you? Our professional approach to each client means we review each situation with you in detail. Along with the potential decisions and possible outcomes.
We will outline other available options and considerations. We will ask what seems right to you. When you are “good to go”, so are we. We work for you!
As a buyer, you should know that our commission is paid by the seller of the home you buy. Even when you buy new home from a builder. Our services cost you nothing.
As a seller, we will explain were the commission you pay our broker is actually spent to sell your home. We will review each item of expense with you, including;
the commission paid to the agent representing the buyer of your home

Signage at you home
the commission we will receive when you home is sold
other detailed
We will show you and explain how the commission you pay to Tierra Antigua Realty is used to market and sell your home.
5. We Adapt To Your Changing Needs
We have found that during the course of buying or selling a home, things can change. What at first was a must have, can become a “nice to have“. The Tucson area or subdivision that was at the top of the list, may move down.
The amenity or home feature that was most important, becomes a trade off. That must sell by date, is often not as important as it was at first.
We know these things will change and are ready to adapt to your interests as they evolve.
6. We Work On Your Schedule
We have worked with clients that purchased a home in a matter of days. While others took years.
In most cases, it depends on when you are planning to move to Tucson, AZ. When people are moving for a new job their time frame is relatively short. For those planning for a future place to retire it may take longer. In many cases, a client may need to sell an existing home before they could buy one.
We understand each client is different. There are many factors that can affect a person’s time frame and schedule. We understand this. We are here to help you achieve your goals on your schedule.
7. For Sellers – We Take The Time To Understand Your Motivation To Sell Your Home
There is a big difference between selling an investment property and a personal home. Investors tend to be numbers driven. Selling a person home will have emotions involved.
We take the time to understand each client’s motivation for selling. Whether it an investment property, winter home or year around residents.
We ask about “what you want to do”? What is your time frame to sell. Do you need to sell before you move? The answers will help us create a marketing strategy for you.
We want to understand your objectives and concerns about selling your home and will take the time to answer your questions. Including commissions and where your dollars go.

Before you start, contact Kim. She will help you decide on the better upgrade options.
Most appraisers have tales of irate home owners not getting value from their home upgrades. The imported Italian tile that just didn’t make a difference to buyers.
Or the costly remodel that made the home the most expensive in the Tucson neighborhood. Good money spent and no return on investment.
To get the most bang for the your upgrade buck before you sell, check out these 7 tips to sell a Tucson home.
1 – Tips To Sell A Tucson Home -Exterior and Landscaping
It is hard to overcome a poor first impression. Be sure the exterior of the home shows well. The front of the home makes the first impression. Caulk cracks and paint the exterior walls. Caulk around windows as necessary to have a tight seal. Consider replacing that old garage door. Replacing the front entrance door or at least upgrading the door hardware should be considered. All outdoor lighting must be working.
Should the buyer want to see the home in the evening, the lights and landscaping will make a big impression. Curb appeal can’t be overstated.
Don’t think you will get all your money back on this items. You won’t. Money spent on exterior maintenance, doors, landscaping and lights make the home stand out.
2 – Tips To Sell A Tucson Home – Interior Basics
Before you decide to spend serious cash on a major upgrade do the interior cosmetic fixes first! Buyers are turned off by worn carpeting, bad paint and old flooring. Leaking faucets, dirty windows, torn screens suggest a poorly kept home.
Replace carpets and damaged flooring first. Paint the home neutral colors. Fix the leaks and anything that appears damaged. Neat and clean suggests will cared for. Well cared for means NO PROJECTS to a buyer.
3 – Tips To Sell A Tucson Home – Bathrooms
Now we get to an upgrade that can be more expensive, but make a big difference in getting your homes sold. Old and outdated faucets, lighting, toilets, tubs and showers are a real turn off for buyers.
If you do the project, the buyer doesn’t have to. That allows them to pay more for the home. Upgraded counter tops and sinks are also very visible and necessary if the existing surfaces are marred or damaged.
You don’t have to buy the most expensive, but new in the bathrooms will make a big selling point.
4 – Tips To Sell A Tucson Home – Kitchen Improvements
So now comes the big ticket items. Kitchens are the center of a home. Anything you do to improve the cooking area will add value.
It is critical to do the “right” things in the kitchen. Flooring, counter tops and cabinetry come first. If you do the counter tops, the the cooking area, sinks and fixtures should also be done.
Unfortunately, it is hard to just do a little bit in the kitchen. Lights, faucets and counter tops are first. Flooring and appliances are second. UNLESS the appliances are old. A buyer see old appliances and an “out of pocket” cost. New appliances are in the home purchase.
5 – Tips To Sell A Tucson Home – Alternative Space
In most Tucson homes storage is in short supply. No basement, no storage. An area that may offer additional storage in two story homes is the space under the steer well. If it isn’t already a closet or storage area, consider making it one.
This upgrade is usually easy to do. Some 2 x4’s, dry wall, a light and paint. OK, you will need a door to the area.
A kitchen pantry may also be an option for that space under the stair well. This will be based on the location.
While you may be tempted to do the work yourself. Consider this. Any upgrade that isn’t finished well or looks “out of the style of the home”, is a turn off.
If you are handy and have the time to do it right, that will save some money. If not, get a contractor to do the work.
6 – Tips To Sell A Tucson Home – Miscellaneous Home Improvements
Here are some smaller projects for the interior and exterior that will make a difference. Be wise with you dollars. Some upgrades to consider include:
Security – alarms and lights
Water purification – faucet filters or the entire home
Depending upon the neighborhood you live in consider a “few” luxury touches.
Enhanced dish washer
Whirlpool or jetted bathtub
Built in wine refrigerator
A word of caution! Keep in mind the subdivision or neighborhood your in before considering any home improvement project. Consider the neighborhood and other homes being sold in your area. DON”T GO OVERBOARD!
The worth of a home is determined through the worth of the neighbor’s houses. Don’t do things that will increase the worth of your home over the value of houses in your area. Over doing it is throwing money away.

These 3 curb appeal ideas bring home staging outdoors. Staging a home is an vital step in a successful home selling process.
Most Realtors will tell you that staging a home correctly is necessary to get a home sold – quickly.
However, the staging process normally focuses on the inside of the home. In truth, staging needs to start at the curb, long before the potential buyer crosses the threshold.
The “For Sale” sign shows your home is on the market. A home with great curb signals buyers it is the home they want to see.
Everyone wants a house that looks great. Great from the curb and great inside.
These easy curb appeal ideas will make that “first impression” of your newly listed home compelling to buyers. With curb appeal, buyers want to get inside to see more of the home.
Three Curb Appeal Ideas That Will Add Value
Cracked driveways, dingy front doors and shabby mailboxes are bad for a home’s curb appeal. They also signal a lack of maintenance and convey the message “Danger Will Robins, Danger!”
The first thought buyers are likely to have are “How much will the repairs be?”. That may cause them to dismiss a great home or submit a very low ball offer.
Taking on these 3 curb appeal ideas before you list your home will improve the chances for a timely sale. They will also add value to your home. Most are relatively quick fixes to begin “staging” with curb appeal
Curb Appeal Ideas For The Driveway
For most southwest homes driveways are not very long. However, they are very large element of a homes curb appeal. In many areas of Tucson, driveways are not paved. Even in the City of Tucson, some driveways may be covered with gravel.
A driveway, even if it is not paved, is one of the visual elements of the home’s overall curb appeal. It actually ranks high with siding of a home, the roof, and front yard.
Concrete can crack and crumble, and asphalt develops potholes. But both can be repaired quickly and easily.
When tackling a driveway repair, be sure the area to be repaired has been cleaned of debris and loose materials. A good cleaning with a hose will do wonders, but pressuring washing will really get the job done.
Concrete driveways cracks whether small or larger will need to be filled. Once repaired, visit your favorite home supply store or hardware to get a resurfacing product. There are lots of them. Also make sure if you have a community HOA that your color choice is allowed.
The one you choose should have enough color to hide the repaired concrete surface, but not bring the neon sign effect into play. A red driveway is not adding curb appeal.
Curb Appeal Ideas For The Mailbox
Some Tucson homes don’t have mail boxes in front of the house. If that is the case for you, this is one of the handy curb appeal ideas you can skip.
For those that have a mailbox, take heed. Most homes that have their own mail box have it sitting at, or near, the end of your driveway. The address numbers on the mail box are usually key to someone finding your home.
Little things can mean a lot when it comes to creating curb appeal. A mailbox that looks “good” probably won’t attract much attention. The ugly or shabby one might just as well be a radio tower beacon.
Tall towers have a beacon so airplanes can see and avoid it. A damaged mail box in front of a home does the same thing.
For home owners living in a community that restricts the type of mailbox you can have, you won’t have many options. Simply give your rusted, stained mailbox and the post it sits on a fresh coat of paint in its original color. Or get a new one.
If your community doesn’t have a standard for home mailboxes, you have an opportunity to create added curb appeal. Consider replacing an ordinary looking box with one that will compliment the exterior design of your home.
If your home has a brick facade, consider a new one set on a brick pillar. Needless to say, the brick should match the home.
If your house features field-stone accents, consider accenting the mailbox with a small, stone-trimmed planting bed at its base.
Curb Appeal Ideas For The Front Door
The door is the point where your exterior design becomes your interior décor. Cross the threshold and all the interior staging takes effect.
It’s also an element that significantly impacts how a buyer will view your home. A poorly maintained front door, signals a poorly maintained home. A fresh coat of paint or stain will make the entrance stand out. Also, don’t forget the trim around the door.
In Tucson, the sun will beat up a wood door quickly. And a cracked or dry rotted door is a major turnoff for buyers. But stain or paint will not cover the problem adequately.
Besides, the home inspector will likely call out the condition of the door. So, bite the bullet. Replace the door and the hardware.
Also, it the entry way is dark at night, add some lighting. Lighting will help ensure safety at night as well as enhance the appeal of the area. Adding lights will require an electrician. That will add some costs, but also value.
Consider ground lights to accent the pathway to the door or even lighting up the door itself. No electrician needed.
Last, take a look at the hardware on the door. Replacing worn or dated door hardware is an easy, cost-effective way to improve the overall look of your entryway.
Conclusion
These 3 easy curb appeal ideas will set the stage for a buyers entrance to your home. When you are choosing a Realtor to list your home, give higher marks to those who understand staging begins with curb appeal.
