Over the last couple of years, the real estate market has been so tricky that we all feel like first-time buyers with no idea what we’re getting into. Aside from how unique this market is, the change in the conditions happened so quickly most buyers and sellers barely had time to catch their breath. We’ve gone from an extreme seller’s market ruled by multiple offers and bidding wars, to higher interest rates and a nervous pullback on both sides of the transaction.

It’s natural to feel skittish about being in a real estate transaction right now, but it’s still a great time to buy a house. That is if you’re under the care of an agent who puts education at the center of the customer experience. There’s a lot of information to wade through, a lot to prepare for, and a lot of expertise required to have a successful transaction. So the real estate agent you choose is probably the most important decision you’ll make in this process. 

How do you make sure you’ve got an expert in your corner? 

In this episode, Samantha Malcolm shares why education is the key to moving forward in this market. She also talks about Scottsdale Ranch and why she loves living and selling there.
