Seller of 5202 North Cliffside Drive, Phoenix
Jim Geldien and Mark Ficklin are hands-down the best! From Listing to Sale, their expertise and experience were invaluable. Within 4 days of Listing they had negotiated TWO competing Contracts to Purchase---and both Contracts were for over Listing Price with a "no repairs" clause. Only skilled Agents could have accomplished that. The closing was a lengthy nightmare, solely due to the Buyer's California mortgage broker and lender, however Jim & Mark kept me constantly informed while fighting in my best interest every step of the way. Arizona Best Real Estate is fortunate to have a professional team like Jim Geldien and Mark Ficklin representing their organization. Home sellers and buyers are equally fortunate to do business with them.

Buyer of 5040 East Sunnyside Drive, Phoenix
My wife and I had a great experience working with Danielle to purchase our first home. She was such a helpful guide to us throughout the entire process, and I always felt like our (many) questions and requests were her top priority. Danielle’s wealth of experience really paid off for us during the offer phase. She’s an excellent negotiator and communicator. In our case, our offer was quite a bit below list price, and Danielle skillfully communicated with the listing agent to level-set prior to us making our offer. She is also analytically savvy and had many important data points to back up our position when we made an offer. All in all, Danielle is a great agent and on top of that she is super friendly. We have happily recommended her to friends, and we wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again.
Buyer of 536 W Virginia Ave, Phoenix
It was our pleasure working with Danielle Paluscio as our agent during our first homebuying purchase. We were primarily looking at historic homes in the midtown and uptown Phoenix areas, therefore there was a huge learning curve as first-time home buyers! Danielle guided us throughout this process, helping us to evaluate which aspects of the homes required expensive repairs vs minor fixes. Communication during the process was consistent and reliable. In terms of negotiation, this is where Danielle really shines! She used her market knowledge to give us realistic expectations, however whenever it came time to negotiate (initial offer, counter offer, repairs, even final walk-through), she really went to bat for us. We were happy to have Danielle's support and advocacy throughout this process.

Buyer of 47170 West Coe Street, Maricopa
Its always been me and my family's dream to find a place of our own. After realizing our landlord was not going to fix anything and increase our rent, we decided its time to buy our first house but didn't know where to start. I found Jesse and read all the wonderful reviews and how he and his team helped their clients. We set up an appointment. Not only did Jesse wanted us to find a place, he wanted us to know who we're working with. He taught us so much about real estate, and how the market works. From being lost to gaining control, we understand the process when it comes to purchasing a home. Today, we not only have a new house but a new build! It is very surreal and hasn't quite hit me yet that we now have a place to call home. My family and I thank Jesse, Esme, and his team on helping find the home of our dreams and the amount of work and energy they put into it. Thank you very much!!!
