This brokerage, especially Stephanie Crain has done a very poor job of representing our new…read moreconstruction contract at the Preserve at Bison Ranch in Showlow. After finding out that our new home foundation was turned 90 degrees so that our backyard would now stare directly into the neighbors backyard, she removed our agent Chelsea Slade from her post. She then spent about 5 minutes trying to make us feel better about the situation before basically telling us to take it or leave it while at the same time telling us that another contract term that provided a deck expansion was going to cost us extra. She then presented a letter from the developers attorney that they were canceling the contract due to a clause that states if there is a disagreement that they could cancel. The way this happened so fast tells us there is more to this situation than we know. She does not have the ability to problem solve but just cut ties as fast as possible and probably has a problem dealing with men. Beware of The Preserve and their representation and their one sided lengthy contracts.

I highly recommend because I felt like he really worked for us. Never gave me lip when I found a stupid reason for not liking a house or just saying it didn't feel right. He suggested homes that were in my specs for both cost and preferences. When we made an offer he was always fast to get it out and the paperwork was always accurate. Getting inspectors and professional to give quotes for any needed fixes was always done fast. Fast is very difficult in Mountain Time! When we finally found THE house he was with us every step of the way and checked on us after it was all said and done. Working with him was a great experience.

Horrible website. After you fill out all of the criteria for a property search and hit the…read more"search" button, you get a page that reads: "The page you are attempting to access is unavailable or cannot be displayed." Then when you go to the "contact us" link, you have to pass a spam test that is completely illegible even with a magnifying glass. Dumb. You just wasted my time. Paying attention to detail is a skill that is highly desirable when purchasing or selling real estate and this tends to make me think someone needs some attention paying retraining. I am glad I don't have a property that I really wanted to sell listed by these folks.

I encourage you to not use Century 21 Sunshine. I was warned by a family member, but I decided to…read moregive the company a chance to manage my property since I had already signed up with them. I could write a book on all the problems that came up through out the year. It started in the beginning where they promised things that they did not follow through on, they over billed me for maintenance, cleaning and repairs. They billed me for things that didn't have to be done. They didn't get my permission to replace tile, take out a shower door and replace it with a curtain. They just threw the materials in my backyard. Yet billed me for clean up and for labor. They charged me a few hundred dollars for yard cleanup, when I drove by ,the yard didn't look like it had work done. I could keep going but the bottom line is that they took advantage of me in the beginning. Later down the line after the tenant moved out I discovered the dryer was leaking water, glass shower door was completely removed without my knowledge, tenant had a dog and the dog peed all over the carpet that was recently replaced, home was not as clean as when the tenant moved in, tenant took some of the items I left behind and didn't report water damage or malfunctioning dryer. I'm wondering what I paid the management company for each month. When I call to discuss these things, Cliff said "I can't live with the tenant and control what she does." When I asked where my glass shower door went he said "It was never there." I'm having to clean the carpets, get the home cleaned, replace the glass shower door and dryer. I'm shocked. Isn't this what we pay a managment company for? We pay them to take care of your home and hold the tenant responsible for any damages? Another thing is that they never remember conversations, they do not follow through and scam you in false charges on repairs and clean up.

Shame on this company!! My friend lives out of state and this company sold him land that was filled…read morewith hazardous waste! They did not disclose on the escrow paperwork that the land had been used as a dump. The land is filled with pits that contain camper shells, trash, refrigerators, and more. There are also HUGE drums filled with oil. My friend has attempted to reach out to the realtor (Joseph Holland) numerous times about this matter and he is completely ignoring him. Joseph Holland should NOT have a license to be a realtor. He obviously took advantage of a person living out of state and bamboozled him into literally buying a dump. Digging deeper into who was the previous owner, we found out that Joseph Holland and James Holland owned the land that Joseph Holland sold to our friend. Joseph Holland knowingly knew the land he sold was a dump. I wonder how many other sales of properties Joseph Holland sold to people which he owned through his LLC called 8515 LLC. He seems more like a scam artist than a realtor. Thankfully, our friend is diligent and will be seeking ramifications to remedy this issue with all avenues possible. Stay far away from this company!!

This company helped me realize my dream of owning a home, on a large lot, in Lakeside, AZ with an unobstructed view of Rainbow Lake. I'm grateful. The agent I worked with, Emily Hayes was personable and professional. I sincerely felt she always had my best interest in mind. Emily understands the importance of great customer service. For example, whenever I had a question, I would call or text Emily and her response was immediate. Her combination of providing great customer service, her knowledge of the area, as well as her professionalism made my buying experience as good as it can get. I can't imagine using anyone else than Emily Hayes for my Real Estate needs in the White Mountains; she definitely exceeded my expectations.

Why I choose Lindsay Peters of Frank M. Smith & Associates to sell my house…read moreMy goal in selling my Pinetop home was to realize the most profit from the sale to find a better suited home in an adjacent community for the next stage of my life. Why I am thankful I choose Lindsay Peters: Lindsay gave me constructive advice on how to make my home more desirable to a buyer with staging advice, repainting one of the bedrooms to a more neutral color, which cost me only minimal dollars and a small amount of time. She took lovely pictures of my home and also used seasonal personal pics of mine  In the listing. Placing my home on the local realtor tour which provided me with other community realtors' honest opinions of the pros and cons of my home was a bonus and a very helpful service. I loved that she sent me feedback surveys after every showing providing timely input of what buyers wanted.  Within 90 days of listing, when it came time for negotiations of an offer, she assisted me In securing the sale for the amount I needed. Lindsay was very professional, responsive to my many questions and happy to assist above and beyond in the sale of my home. She had a long list of reliable professionals in the field of repairs, cleaning and moving services, etc that are needed by a seller during the process. I highly recommend her and Frank M. Smith & Associates.

Buying a home on my own for the first time (but not a first-time homebuyer), and buying for the…read morefirst time in AZ, I expected this process to be different than previous home purchases. Because of that, I expected to ask many questions along the way. I searched for an agent who would be a good communicator, honest, and informative. Unfortunately, the realtor I got with WestUSA Pinetop was not that. About halfway through the process, I learned I could have fired the realtor, but was concerned I'd lose the house. Hindsight, I should have moved on to another agency. The interesting thing is that in researching the agent, I found out that they have a lot of success selling homes, however, they are limited in buying homes. I also find it interesting that for as long as this agent has been in the business, there are no reviews on this particular agent. That could be good, or bad. The agent I worked with was communicative only in the way that they shared when documents were ready, or where we were in the process. But the realtor wasn't available for deep questions or clarity. The realtor was also very disorganized and distracted. They seemed to have a lot going on in their life and I was just one more thing. There were a few steps in the process that were exceptionally stressful due to lack of communication. Writing the offer was also more complicated than it should have been. I believe it was because the realtor was not in my corner. The assistant was also less than friendly. In an email communication, there was a false accusation against me that painted me in a bad light. This is unprofessional. When calling the office with a couple of questions, the person who answered the phone sounded irritated that I was calling, sighing heavily and not offering any other information or expanding on answers. She was short and curt. Not friendly or helpful at all. While I had a lot of questions along the way, perhaps my expectations of a professional, attentive, and communicative agent were too high. I thought that since I was making a huge purchase, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, and being alone and new at this, I would be able to have a professional who would spend some time explaining legal documents, providing me with rich information, and attending to my concerns in a reasonable time frame without judgement. I got very little of that. Because of this experience, I'm thinking of selling the home because there is a lot of negative feelings around the home now, but I surely will never buy another home again. The experience with this realtor left a bad taste in my mouth, and I would not recommend them, or this office, at all.
