About Me

As a native Tucsonan and University of Arizona alumnus, Ronnie "Tucson Ron" Spece, along with his wife, fellow native Christian Spece, have strong ties to the community and know the Old Pueblo very well. They have experienced first-hand the stresses of both buying and selling a home, as well as the frustrations of working with a sub-par agent. As the National Association of Realtors® points out, all real estate agents are not the same. REALTORS® subscribe to a strict code of ethics and are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate. As REALTORS®, they are committed to uphold these ideals. "The Tucson Ron Team" is ready to assist you with your real estate sale or purchase, providing the service you deserve and helping you through one of the most exciting, stressful, and important events in your life.

Testimonials

"While considering the purchase of my current house, a friend suggested I use onnie Spece as my real estate agent. I took his advice, and I am glad I did. Ronnie took the time to determine exactly what I wanted in a new home, demonstrating his clear understanding of new construction and its unique challenges. Ronnie also discussed current market conditions and trends with me, and working with the builder's representative, saved me more than 10%on the home I wanted. Ronnie's professionalism, courtesy, and attention to detail made my home-buying experience pleasurable and peaceful. I highly recommend him to anyone in the market to buy or sell a home."

"As most people know, the home buying process can be stressful. Ronnie Spece took control of our situation and handled it smoothly and effectively. He put us at ease and we were actually able to enjoy moving into our new home. We are exceptionally happy with the his professional attitude and the courteous way that Ronnie treated our family. Looking into the future, we would definitely use Tucson Ron as our real estate agent again."
PJ & Anita A. Wed May 21

"Now that we are moved into our new home, we couldn't be more satisfied about our decision. We felt Ronnie genuinely worked for our interests and made the process as smooth as possible. In the past, agent services have ended upon closing, but Ronnie considered our transition into the new home equally as important and always went that extra mile. Thank you!"

I know that there are a lot of factors that come in to play, but I would appreciate an approximate answer .

I would agree, as you said, there are many factors to consider. Too many, in fact, to give a good general (or approximate) answer to this question, but I will give it a shot:

"Generally" speaking, if they had the home priced at $695,000, the price was likely very close to a fair market price.

Bank owned (aka REO) properties generally have 2 or more opinions on price submitted by real estate agents and/or appraisers. Those are then reviewed by the bank or a third-party handling the REO for the bank; then the price is set.

If you purchased a $695,000 home (assuming that was a fair market price) for 10% less, it sounds like a solid deal, "generally" speaking. It is of course possible that you could have bought it for less, but I wouldn't dwell on the "what-ifs" if the deal is done. In the enlightened words of a former economic professor of mine - "Don't cry over spilled milk".

As for the $850,000 home, you could use the same 10% figure and offer $765,000. Or perhaps push it to $750,000. I cannot stress enough that there are far too many unknowns to rely on my answers here for your individual situation. Some people may start at 20% below list price, or may not consider it in percentages at all.

Best of luck and enjoy your new home!

Here's another good summary of what Green Valley has to offer: http://www.greenvalleychamber.com/community_info.asp

This is a very subjective question, so "what is so great about Green Valley" will of course vary from person to person.

You should be able to find the zoning information you are looking for onhttp:// www.pimaxpress.com. This is Pima County Development Services' website. The site appears to be down at this moment, but hopefully they will have it back up shortly. Best of luck,
