My Real Estate Philosophy:

I have been a Real Estate Professional for 29 years. My marketing areas are Green Valley, AZ and Santa Cruz County which covers Rio Rico, Nogales and Tubac, Arizona. Prior to real estate I was self employed in the produce business for 32 years and was the first female to own her own truck brokerage company in 1979! In my 32 years of being in the produce business I learned discipline in my daily work life, communication skills and people skills. When I closed my company in 1982 I took on other endeavors until 1994 when I decided to go to real estate school. I was raised in Southern Arizona and am very familiar with this entire area, especially my areas of expertise and I am also bi-lingual, speaking Spanish fluently as a second language.

I have been associated with many realty firms in 29 years but have been with Coldwell Banker for the past 10 years. I am proud to be affiliated with such a successful company. We are number 1 in sales and listings in Green Valley, AZ. I also have a presence on Zillow.com and Realtor.com and have great reviews from my clients.

As a Buyer's Agent: My first priority is communication to find out what your needs are as a Buyer in real estate. Listening is one of the most important skills in my toolbox. I return phone calls promptly and have a great deal of tenacity for taking care of everything important to my clientele in order to provide them with an enjoyable experience. In spite of glitches which often occur in our business. I always encourage my clients to get pre-qualified first and I have several good local lenders to share. This way the buyer knows exactly what they can afford and how much their monthly payments will be; most of all it allows us to shop in the right price range. My clients tell me I have a great sense of humor and more importantly, I take pride in my professionalism and I am enthusiastic about my work. Simply said, "I love what I do"!

As a Listing Agent: I am experienced at helping Sellers prepare their home both inside and out by decluttering and cleaning their surroundings before they place the home on the market. I use a professional photographer for your pictures, sometimes I use drone shots for larger properties and I definitely use Virtual Staging for enhancement of vacant homes and often times I can change the current furniture with this tool. Our company has a Listing Concierge program which also offers many percs for the seller in how the home is marketed. I believe you don't have a "second chance to make a first impression", so I strive to educate my sellers on the importance of this philosophy as this first impression is vitally important in bringing you a buyer.

Personal Insights for Rio Rico and Tubac areas:

I myself live in Rio Rico and here are a few things I love and appreciate. The people. They are giving and kind, always helpful if you reach out to them. We are surrounded by various mountain ranges, not all areas have street lights which is good for star gazing at night. There is an abundancy of wild life, sounds and sights of nature. In normal summers we have great rains or as we refer to them, Monsoons. Nature puts on a spectacular show of lightening that any camera buff would love to capture. Rio Rico becomes a beautiful area with green hills and mountains. Oh, did I mention our great Arizona sunsets? Well...we have those too. There is something for everyone here in our community. IF this is your type of living, contact me to my business email of Pamelarealtor1@yahoo.com.

Personal Background

I was born in San Francisco and came to Nogales when I was almost 4 years old. My dad was in the Navy and when called back in, he went to Guam. 9 months later he called for my mother and I to join him. I lived there for 2.5 years before returning to Nogales. I have lived in this area ever since. I am in my second marriage for 42 years and between the two of us we have 6 children, 9 grandchildren and 4 great grand children. My husband who is a native to Nogales loves to hunt and I love to entertain. I enjoy meeting people in my work and many of my past clients are now dear friends.
