This is Curtis Johnson Realty. Ever hear of them? Their office is in Tempe just a few miles South/East of the Marriot "The Buttes" hotel South East of the airport.
While not exactly uneducated we ARE first time home buyers and the first and biggest mistake we made was telling her our top price. All she has shown us were homes that were at our top price even though there are plenty of homes which are just as good for a full 100 grand less. When we suggest an amount we would like to make an offer for, she is usually suggesting 20 grand less, that way they can "meet in the middle" and arrive at the "Curtis Johnson 10 grand off guarantee!". Then we come back with, "ok, we were thinking more in line with offering 60 grand off the asking price...." -after all it is the biggest buyers market in over a decade there!
