        <Name>What a Month in Flagstaff Real Estate!</Name>
        <Summary>Take a look at what Flagstaff homes I sold this month – with a little commentary on each!</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;p&gt;If my month of June is any representation of what&amp;rsquo;s going on in the Flagstaff market, and who knows if it is, home sales will happen &lt;em&gt;if your agent works hard enough &lt;/em&gt;and if &lt;em&gt;you, as the seller or buyer, are motivated enough&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;On the buyer&amp;rsquo;s side&lt;/b&gt;, you need to have persistence is working with your lender (assuming you are not one of those rare cash buyers &amp;ndash; we had one this month). The loan process is really tough and you can&amp;rsquo;t treat it casually. Even when you&amp;rsquo;ve done all the work required of you, it may not work if the appraiser and the several layers of underwriting don&amp;rsquo;t like the deal you&amp;rsquo;ve negotiated. Your mortgage loan originator should have options available to you if the first try at a loan source doesn&amp;rsquo;t work. Most of my transactions this month were done with FHA-guaranteed loans &amp;ndash; even those at higher prices and with substantial down payments. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On the seller&amp;rsquo;s side,&lt;/strong&gt; it won&amp;rsquo;t work if you don&amp;rsquo;t price it right and clean it up. Using a professional stager helps. Once you get an offer, take a deep breath and don&amp;rsquo;t count on it closing on time &amp;ndash; &lt;i&gt;see&lt;/i&gt; the last paragraph. When it does, it is because the people working on your behalf, and for the buyer, pulled off a miracle. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;So, if any one tells you Flagstaff homes are not selling, tell them they are wrong.&lt;/em&gt; So far, the report for June shows 95 homes sold. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are the seven I was involved with:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="Flagstaff foreclosure sold!" href="http://northernarizonamls.rapmls.com/scripts/mgrqispi.dll?APPNAME=Northernaz&amp;amp;PRGNAME=MLSLogin&amp;amp;ARGUMENT=5ewdzPkF7OGrtlYhWjM3u5fUuQtH%2FS2UQbMTYAwGvrc%3D&amp;amp;KeyRid=1" target="_blank"&gt;1407 S. Union Pacific &amp;ndash; &lt;strong&gt;foreclosure sale was a great deal for our buyer &lt;/strong&gt;but the title issues were a challenge&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="Rural property snapped up in Flagstaff" href="http://northernarizonamls.rapmls.com/scripts/mgrqispi.dll?APPNAME=Northernaz&amp;amp;PRGNAME=MLSLogin&amp;amp;ARGUMENT=lagDtn1vorvqTEVs4ItKBaYokYYsxZslA5cLFPRA0%2B0%3D&amp;amp;KeyRid=1" target="_blank"&gt;11110&amp;nbsp;N. Lupine Lane &amp;ndash; Listing - was &lt;strong&gt;under contract before the ink was dry&lt;/strong&gt; but &amp;ldquo;Oh My!&amp;rdquo; what lending issues we had, and then it was done!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="Bellemont townhome sold" href="http://northernarizonamls.rapmls.com/scripts/mgrqispi.dll?APPNAME=Northernaz&amp;amp;PRGNAME=MLSLogin&amp;amp;ARGUMENT=w107TjHB%2B6T898uJl3HQUF7uRDmcLTsPVYNQ7OMuEA4%3D&amp;amp;KeyRid=1" target="_blank"&gt;9130 W. Arden Lane &amp;ndash; represented the buyer &amp;ndash; like all purchases nowadays &lt;strong&gt;diligence on the lending process&lt;/strong&gt; got it done!&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="Flagstaff home sold in 7 days!" href="http://northernarizonamls.rapmls.com/scripts/mgrqispi.dll?APPNAME=Northernaz&amp;amp;PRGNAME=MLSLogin&amp;amp;ARGUMENT=w107TjHB%2B6T898uJl3HQUIMXqy%2FK8hRsQegc8oIGAXA%3D&amp;amp;KeyRid=1" target="_blank"&gt;11160&amp;nbsp; Rodeo Road &amp;ndash; Listing -- &lt;strong&gt;under contract in a week and closed in 26 days!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="Perfect Flagstaff location!" href="http://northernarizonamls.rapmls.com/scripts/mgrqispi.dll?APPNAME=Northernaz&amp;amp;PRGNAME=MLSLogin&amp;amp;ARGUMENT=lagDtn1vorvqTEVs4ItKBV06QIhq7%2BCzAfAY53rGpe4%3D&amp;amp;KeyRid=1" target="_blank"&gt;3939&amp;nbsp;N. Paradise Road &amp;ndash; Listing &amp;ndash; some twists and turns then we got it &lt;strong&gt;done three appraisals later&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="Home Sold!" href="http://northernarizonamls.rapmls.com/scripts/mgrqispi.dll?APPNAME=Northernaz&amp;amp;PRGNAME=MLSLogin&amp;amp;ARGUMENT=ewHqrlmgzp3X%2FNhHhoOO5ygyLuTRZNOy4%2FYp0JKeQgY%3D&amp;amp;KeyRid=1" target="_blank"&gt;8215 Autumn Drive &amp;ndash; Listing &amp;ndash; sold with &lt;strong&gt;creative, last-minute financing&lt;/strong&gt; switch&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="Two offers on this one!" href="http://northernarizonamls.rapmls.com/scripts/mgrqispi.dll?APPNAME=Northernaz&amp;amp;PRGNAME=MLSLogin&amp;amp;ARGUMENT=lagDtn1vorvqTEVs4ItKBZosMqCJqcZtE44hzV6G5ic%3D&amp;amp;KeyRid=1" target="_blank"&gt;2640 E. Matterhorn &amp;ndash; Listing &amp;ndash; &lt;strong&gt;sold at 100%&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
