PHOENIX (AZFamily) — There’s a zip code in the Phoenix metro that savvy homebuyers have quietly coveted for years: a Scottsdale mailing address, access to Paradise Valley schools, and the lower tax burden of City of Phoenix taxes.
On this week’s episode of On Your Side: The Home Edition, host Susan Campbell pulls back the curtain on Arizona’s so-called “magic zip code,” and answers one of the most common questions in real estate: How do you find the right agent?
How to Find the Right Real Estate Agent in Phoenix
With more than 20,000 licensed realtors working in the Valley, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. Susan sits down with Valley realtor Lindsay Rininger to break down exactly what homebuyers and sellers should look for when selecting an agent.
Key tips include:
- Match your agent to your needs, not just their credentials
- Look for local market expertise in your specific price range and neighborhood
- Find someone whose communication style fits yours — buying or selling a home is a relationship
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned seller, finding the right fit can make or break your experience in the Valley’s competitive housing market.
