Your eyes on the ground in Tucson
Most of my buyers shop from another state. Here’s what that partnership actually looks like.
Strong on day one. Honest when it slows.
Buyers decide what a home is worth. Here’s how I put yours in front of them the right way.
Full video tours for out-of-state buyers, so you see the real condition of a home before you ever book a flight.
The listing is your first showing. Photos in the order you’d walk the house, each one labeled, plus a floor plan and 3D tour. Buyers should feel they know the home before they book.
I catch what others miss: the $18K roof, the hidden solar lien, the crack behind fresh paint.
I walk far more homes with buyers than I list, so I know what they’ll flag before they say it. We get ahead of it up front, not at inspection.
I publish Tucson's numbers every month — 360+ neighborhood and market videos and counting. You get the data, not a sales pitch.
Sellers have a number. Buyers have theirs. Recent sales near you bridge the two. Overpricing hurts a listing more than anything, and I won’t give your home away either.
One point of contact from first showing to closing table. No handoffs to a junior team, no autopilot.
Most “marketing” promotes the agent. What sells a home is price, condition and the MLS. If showings slow, I’ll tell you which one it is and what I’d change.
Every card has two sides. Hover or tap one to turn it over.

The October numbers, without the spin
Sales slowed in October while prices held. Half of active listings have cut their price, and rates near 7.25% are doing the sorting. I break it all down every month.

What my clients say
“We started with a few resale homes — one had hidden solar fees in the tens of thousands, another needed an $18K roof replacement on what should've been a 30-year roof. Blaine caught every issue before I made a costly mistake. Truly the best realtor I've ever worked with.”
“Purchasing a home while living in another state is stressful enough, but Blaine put all our worries at ease and made us feel truly confident in our purchase.”
“As a veteran I appreciated Blaine's grasp of the VA loan process. He was exceedingly thorough — double-checking, following up, sending videos, and keeping me informed the whole time.”
“Working with Blaine to sell our townhouse in Pueblo Villas was a wonderful experience. We are extremely grateful for his extensive market knowledge, his calm demeanor, and the much-needed humor he brought to the process. Not only did we get our expected asking price, but he also guided us smoothly through all the inspections. We felt fully supported every step of the way and are so thankful for his expert advice!”
“Blaine was always quick to respond and was on top of what needed to get done and when. Would recommend!”
Before you ask
It’s balanced and selective, and it shifts month to month. I publish the full numbers every month — see the latest Tucson market report for median price, days on market, and inventory.
Tucson and the towns around it: Oro Valley, Marana, the Catalina Foothills, SaddleBrooke, Vail and Green Valley. Not sure where to start? The Tucson community guides are a good first look.
Yes — SaddleBrooke, Del Webb, and the other 55+ options each have very different fee structures, amenities, and resale patterns. I’ll help you compare them honestly instead of by brochure.
The rules changed in 2024. Before any agent can tour a home with you, the two of you sign a written buyer agreement. That doesn’t lock you in: it can cover one house, one day, a week, a month or a year. I don’t ask for marriage on the first date, and questions are always free.
Call or text 520-775-3400, or use the contact page. You get me, not an assistant.
Think of it as a funnel, and you set the pace. The first call is about how you live and what you need, and I’ll tell you which areas fit. Then I build a few starter searches and send my videos and community guides for those areas.
From there we tour homes and neighborhoods, in person or by video, and narrow it down. When you’re ready, I represent you through inspection, negotiation and closing. Most of my out-of-state buyers don’t see their home in person until the final walkthrough. Your timeline is my timeline.
The expensive things first: roof age, heating and cooling, signs of water, cracks hidden behind fresh paint, and whether the solar is owned or leased. I’m not a home inspector, and you’ll still hire one. My job is to catch the deal-breakers, and the red flags worth weighing, before you decide and before you pay for an inspection.
Absolutely, and it matters — a leased or lien-encumbered solar system can complicate financing and resale. I check the solar status on every home so there are no surprises at closing.
Tell me how you live: commute, schools, views, lot size, HOA or none. I’ll narrow it to a few areas worth your time. You can also browse the community guides or the zip code map first.
Yes. I’ve built as many starting-point searches as I can, so you can look around before you ever reach out: the ready-made searches above cover pool, single level, no HOA, price range and more.
The best results still come from an open conversation about what you need, and you’ll never get a script or pressure from me.
Three things do most of the work: the right price on day one, a home that shows the way buyers want to see it, and a listing that makes them feel they know the place before they visit. The biggest mistake sellers make is overpricing on day one; I’ll show you the data so we don’t.
From recent sales near you, adjusted for condition, lot and updates, and you’ll see the same sales I’m looking at. Start with a free home value.
A day shoot and a sunset shoot by Luxe Photography, photos labeled and in the order you’d walk the house, a floor plan, a 3D walkthrough, a lit yard sign, and custom virtual staging when a room needs it.
The paperwork is ready on day one too. Your seller disclosure (SPDS), insurance claims history (CLUE report) and HOA documents go into the MLS up front, so nobody is chasing them while we weigh an offer.
And the photos are honest. There’s no hiding in real estate: a buyer who walks in and finds the bathroom is half the size the wide-angle lens promised is a wasted showing.
Yes, along with flyers and the brokerage’s advertising. But I won’t sell you rainbows and butterflies to win your listing. Most marketing is exposure for the agent.
Homes rarely sell from a magazine or a Facebook post. Yours will be in both, and on more than 150 websites from the moment I click “list.” Serious, qualified buyers are already searching with an agent or signed up on the big sites, so the goal is to own the MLS.
No amount of marketing makes a buyer overlook price, condition or the competition.
Often, yes. Not every repair is worth the money, though many are. I walk your home the way a buyer will and tell you what they’ll flag: what to fix first, what to handle in the price, and what to leave alone.
Often decluttering and depersonalizing is enough. Every home is different, and I’ll advise you at each step.
As much as sellers hate to hear it, it’s almost always price or condition. I’ll tell you which one, show you why, and tell you what I’d change.
The market matters too, and no agent controls rates, the economy or the homes you’re competing with. What we can control is how yours stacks up against them.
