Like A Phoenix, Real Estate Values Are Rising From the Ashes !!! By Mary Drefs, GRI, CRS, CDPE Like a Phoenix, the Valley Area Real Estate Market is rising from the ashes. The Phoenix Area is leading the way in the rising real estate values and in the number of homes sold in the past 3 months compared to other major US cities. I assure you that your property has increased in value as well... unless, of course, your property has recently been plagued by a natural disaster such as a fire or flood. If you would like to learn of your PROPERTY'S CURRENT VALUE, visit www.MaryDrefs.com and fill out the Home Value Request form or click on the Home Value Request Button below. I promise to use the same parameters as an appraiser when sending you comparable properties. If you have recently learned that your family is slipping financially and your mortgage is burdensome, you may be a candidate for a short sale. We are successfully closing many short sales and some lenders have even streamlined the short sale process. To learn more about short sales, visit Click HERE and then contact Mary Drefs at 623-694-0354 . Mary will help you evaluate your situation and help you see if the time is right. You may be one of the lucky ones whose property is worth more than you thought and you might be able to conduct a traditional sale and walk away from your property with no credit repercussions. Keep thinking positive thoughts and as you walk through your house keep repeating, "You are rising in value. You are rising in value." Have a great September !!
