Opportunity Is Knocking For Savvy Canadian Buyers

Canadian and US Dollar Values

Whether you are interested in the possibility of buying a second home or an investment property, now is an ideal time for Canadian home buyers to take the plunge. The Canadian dollar is strong, and as we speak, the Scottsdale and Phoenix real estate market is stocked with beautiful homes at very affordable prices. However, as an experienced Arizona Realtor, I can assure you the market will soon rebound, sending home values higher.

I've built my real estate firm, Farrell Fine Homes, with the philosophy that one size certainly doesn't fit all. Each client has a different background, different needs and a different perspective. This is especially true of my Canadian and international clients.

I have years of success working with home buyers and sellers from outside the United States because:

  • I have 20 years experience serving the Phoenix and Scottsdale market and know where to buy and where to avoid.
  • In a previous life I was Director of International Sales for the Phoenix Convention and Visitors Bureau. I have extensive experience meeting the needs of international clients.
  • I know the ins-and-outs of financing, tax and ownership issues of international buyers. I will simplify your home buying process.
  • I'm a long-time real estate investor and landlord myself, and am familiar with the rules and regulations (as well as the tricks of the trade) should you choose to rent your property.
  • I'm believe in building trusting relationships with my clients, and finding the right home at the right price. (Don't just take my word for it, see what my clients have to say!)
  • I love what I do!

It's a buyer's market here in Arizona, yet the appeal and allure of the Valley of the Sun continues unabated. If you've ever enjoyed the gorgeous weather, beautiful desert vistas, and exciting entertainment opportunities available in the Phoenix and Scottsdale areas, you know this is a fantastic place to relocate, retire or retreat to when the cold Canadian winds begin to blow.

If you'd like to search for all available homes on the market, please use my free MLS search tool. Be sure to sign-up for a HomeFinder account to receive email notifications of new homes that come on the market which meet your specifications.

My name is Echo Farrell, and I look forward to being your Arizona Realtor.

Now that the sale has closed on our condo, we just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for all your hard work. As you know, our trip to Phoenix back in March was the first time we had ever visited Arizona .

We were interested in looking at real estate but had not made up our minds as to whether or not Phoenix was were we wanted to buy. From the first time we met, you made us feel welcome and we were impressed with your willingness to spend a full day with us showing us around the Phoenix area and answering all of our questions. The customer service provided by you and your team has been exceptional; both pre-sale and post-sale. Your no-pressure, relaxed approach was greatly appreciated. Your willingness to listen to what we wanted and your extensive knowledge of Phoenix area certainly made the process much easier.

Five months, and three more trips to Phoenix and countless e-mails and phone calls later, we have ended up with a property in Scottsdale that we are very happy with. Not only did you deliver a property that met all of the specifications we had laid out but you did so significantly under budget. We would not hesitate to recommend you to anybody looking to buy or sell real estate in the Phoenix area.

“We wanted to look at properties within a specific price range (albeit a rather wide range), in a variety of neighborhoods in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. We weren't sure we were going to buy on this trip; we had originally intended it to be a fact-finding mission in anticipation of a future purchase. Echo listened very carefully to what we said, and showed us a number of properties -- including the one that we bought! Our objectives, in this regard, were more than met, they were exceeded.

Working with Echo and DeAnna was terrific, and the mortgage and title people she recommended were also great. Coming from Canada where mortgages and the purchase process is a bit different, we had to ask a lot of questions! She was knowledgeable and patient and took the time to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible.

We would highly recommend Echo and in fact, we already have! I also keep a stack of her business cards nearby just in case."
