My wife and I recently closed on a second home in the Flagstaff area with the help of Lisa Aird and Skysbright Realty. I began my search about a year ago when I called Lisa about one of her listings that I was interested in. Unfortunately for me, that listing already had an offer on it. I got to talking a bit with Lisa and I thought that she was very helpful with information regarding Flagstaff real estate. As I soon found out, Flagstaff is a seller’s market and you have to move fast when a property comes available. Lisa hooked me up with a notification system that would alert me by email of properties that were listed in the areas that I liked and in my price range. Over the next several months she showed us many properties but none of them worked out for us. During this process Lisa remained very patient and was very flexible and available with her time to show us these properties.
In January of 2016 we found a FSBO property that my wife and I both liked. The owner was willing to work with a realtor and a few offers went back and forth until we finally agreed on a contract. It was during this process, and the following 2 ½ months until closing, that Lisa really proved her value. I was somewhat naive to the complex and arduous process of the current loan approval process and I was very frustrated and impatient with it all. There were survey and appraisal issues with the property and the house that delayed the loan and I was also dealing with a “difficult” seller. Lisa remained calm through it all. She provided solid recommendations on my home inspection, finance options, and how to solve problems that came up with the loan company and the seller. I did not take all of her advice, but I should have. She communicated quickly and effectively with all of the parties involved. She protected my interests by making sure that everything that affected the contract was documented and that signatures were obtained. Although I was frustrated by the process, I was very comfortable with it knowing that Lisa had my back. Her integrity and professionalism is top notch.
We finally closed on our Flagstaff property in April 2016. I am very happy with the property that we selected and we visit it as often as we can. I can’t believe how fortunate we are to have a second home in beautiful Flagstaff. I have to give credit and thanks to Lisa Aird and Skysbright Realty for making it possible.
