Now that Summer is close to ending, what do you see as the takeaways from the last six months?

The real estate market in Paradise Valley is still strong and we are looking for more inventory. With interest rates really low and inventory low, now is a great time to put your home on the market and get top dollar. We still have a very strong market and more people are moving here every day.

What activities can be done for Labor Day this year around Paradise Valley?

Restaurants are still open for business in Paradise Valley! Golf and tennis have always been an essential business and with the many resort courses around Paradise Valley, you can’t go wrong with a round of golf. Stay-cations and relaxing by the pool is always an option and some local resorts have added other fun activities including a drive-in movie night!!!

Is there an area from which buyers are relocating to your market?

I have found a lot of buyers are coming from California, Seattle, Chicago, and New York City to Paradise Valley!! We have more open spaces and a better cost of living in Arizona.  I always welcome new clients to Arizona!

How has your market been doing so far this year compared to this time last year?

We have seen a huge increase in business from last year to this year. Even with an election coming up the market is still strong and I see it staying that way through the end of the year.

What do you ask clients to not have displayed when showing their homes for sale?

I ask clients to declutter their homes. Think “staged but lived in”. If you have a paper towel holder and a soap on your kitchen island, please tuck them away under the sink for a showing. Replace them with fresh flowers instead.

Is it currently a buyer or seller’s market in your market?

Demand is high and inventory is low, which makes for a seller’s market. We are seeing above list and even multiple offers, in some cases.

What do you love about the housing market in your market?

I enjoy the fact that my clients come from all over the United States and from a variety of professions and backgrounds. I’ve lived all over the US, so I especially love it when I can make a connection with buyers from the same cities.

The extensive remodel mixes a dramatic structure with a beautiful, clean and comfortable feel. Just about everything—from the roof and viewing decks to the gorgeous limestone and wide plank DuChâteau Antique White wood floors, has been replaced—while some of the impressive original custom woodwork was kept in just the right places. It is convenient to everything, yet private and secure!

Highlight quotes:

Cristal Clarke: "The use of technology has been fantastic. Talking with one another (virtually) has been great and been very helpful. We have realized that maybe we weren't taking advantage of (technology) like we are now... A lot of clients are waiting to get on planes to get here. I'm advising them that if sellers want to list, to do it now. There are buyers that are out there."

Darlene Streit: "It's incredibly busy right now. A lot of people are getting ready to list, some are even listing now. And we have sold properties that we listed since the virus, of which three were without seeing the property, just using Facetime and Zoom."

Chris Karas: "People that were thinking of moving to Arizona have accelerated the move. We are looking forward to the second half of the year that we feel will be even busier... On top of the amazing technology of Matterport, videos and details, we are going old-school and getting back on the phone to really listen to our clients because that's one of the strongest tools that we can have."

Sylvia Fragos: "Creativity and flexibility are two key things for financing right now... The details become so important now as opposed to before when you could walk someone through with anyone. Now you have to have an acute level of detail to get to your clients; to get every question answered; to not miss anything."

It may be getting cooler with winter approaching, but the real estate market in Arizona is on fire thanks to Chris Karas, President, and Founder of The Karas Group, Co-Founder and Owner of Launch Real Estate. Recently, Karas sold a home for $19.25 million in Paradise Valley, which makes it the largest residential sale to date in Arizona.

“To date, this is the highest closed real estate transaction, on the MLS, in the history of Arizona. It will always remain an honor and a privilege to successfully represent the luxury community in Arizona.” Karas states. The estate is over 18,000 sq. ft with 5 bedrooms in the main house and a two-bedroom guest house that can be a part of the home or separated.

Chris Karas, President and Founder of The Karas Group, Co-Founder and Owner of Launch Real Estate, has distinguished himself among real estate professionals in Arizona as a talented and ethical agent whose expertise is matched only by his incredible sensitivity to the unique needs of his clients.

Assembling a team of likeminded agents to form The Karas Group, has allowed Chris to focus on providing a full service and highly responsive approach for his clients. His professional, educated and organized method yields not only a strong return on investment, but a pleasant experience for his clients. This process has resulted in just shy of a billion dollars in completed transactions and has ranked him in the top 0.1% of successful realtors nationwide. Haute Residence sat down with Karas Group member Marissa Kline to discuss the best practices for finding a realtor to sell your home.

What is the best way to find a realtor to sell your home? Are there specific sites to search for a great realtor?

When you’re searching for the best realtor to sell your home, you want someone who is a neighborhood specialist; someone who knows your neighborhood even better than you do.  Drive around your neighborhood and see which agents have the most listing.  Then do your research on them - check out their website, Instagram, Facebook, Zillow, ect.  Read the reviews from past clients and see if this would be an agent you’d be interested interviewing.  Double check their sales records and ask them, “what sets them apart from every other agent in your neighborhood.”  Any agent can give you ‘smoke and mirrors’ but you’re looking for the real thing!

What traits or characteristics should a person look for when trying to find a great realtor to sell their home?

Knowledge and drive! You want to find an agent that is incredibly knowledgable about the real estate market in your area and driven enough to think outside of the box for marketing strategies.  Real estate is hairy business, and sometimes putting a deal together is more complicated than you would think.  This is why you only want to hire the best agent to represent you.  It’s also important to find an agent that you will enjoy enjoy working with.  Selling your home doesn’t happen over night, so you want to make sure that the realtor you hire is the right personality match for you.

What marketing techniques or platforms do you recommend doing to get you home the maximum exposure?

I don’t think there is just one platform that will guarantee your home sells quick.  In my opinion, it’s best to diversify your marketing strategy.  Spend the extra money to make sure the home photographs well, because in a digital world, the online presence is a buyers first showing. By the time a buyer actually visits the property for the first time, they would have already felt a connection to the property based off the pictures and/or video.  Social media is great for spreading the word about the property or targeting a specific area/demographic.  It is also a great tool to generate interest for a special event like a broker open or open house.  Use any and all avenues to spotlight the home.

Is there a time of year you recommend to sell your home compared to others?

The Phoenix/ Paradise Valley market may be different than others, but our best time to list your home is during the Spring season.  That is the time of year where the most buyers are out house hunting, but as a seller, that is also the time where you have the most competition.  If you’re going to list your home in the Spring, you want to make sure your list price is an appropriate reflection of the current market.  Be aggressive and put your best foot forward from day one.  Make sure the photos are pristine, staging is impeccable, price is competitive and your home is “show ready” at all times.  That is the only way to maximize showings of your property to find a buyer in the Spring.  Otherwise, you might have to wait out the slow and hot AZ Summer months.

Are there common mistakes home owners make before listing their home?

A common mistake I see many sellers make before listing their home, is failing to declutter.  You may love your treasured knit-knacks and love displaying your children Elementary school art on the wall, but it is important to create a clean and welcoming environment so the buyers can envision their own lives in that house. Buyers want to feel like they are walking into their next home, not walking into your home.  I recommend my clients aggressively declutter before listing.  Your home is going to sell and you’re going to have to pack up everything eventually, so why not get a head start.  If a seller is open to have the home professionally staged, that is always a great option.
