About Me
Amy Jones of the Amy Jones Group. founded on a philosophy and work ethic of helping and caring for our clients like we would our best friends. We are not "dollar-driven", but have a heart that truly wants the best for our clients. We are not "sales people", our job is to counsel and advise our clients so they can make their own informed decisions. We are there to ensure every transaction goes as smoothly as possible and will be there even after the transaction is complete, yes…even years later. With the Amy Jones Group there will NEVER be any high pressure sales tactics and every client will be treated with the utmost honesty, integrity and respect.
Our clients say "Working with the Amy Jones Group is like working with your best friends!"
My real estate career began in 1985 in Illinois. Moving to Arizona in 2001, I was ranked second highest in production for my entire Real Estate office. I am a multi-million dollar producer, specializing in residential, vacation home/cabin, Active Adult communities and relocation, representing buyers and sellers in the Phoenix East Valley as well as the White Mountain communities of Show Low and Pinetop/Lakeside.
I have been with RE/MAX since 2003 and have received multiple "Agent of the Month" Awards which are presented to a top producing agent every month and I have also received of the 100% Club Award for the past 3 years. This award is presented to the top-producing RE/MAX sales associates.
I specialize all spectrums of residential real estate from starter homes to luxury homes. I also specialize in working with international buyers and have represented many Canadians who have purchased homes in the East Valley.
A quote from a client: "Working with Amy is like working with your best friend. She always watches out for your best interests and loves to laugh, which makes the whole transaction a fun experience. We were actually a little sad when we closed on our dream home and knew we wouldn't be spending those times together anymore. Why would anyone want to work with any other Realtor?"
What is my secret to success? God and family.
A favorite quote by Ralph Walder Emerson to live by:
"Success is to laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."

Testimonials
""It was a very pleasant experience working with Amy primarily because we worked together as a team. She listened to what I wanted in a home and wasted no time tracking them down and showing them to me. Not to mention this was the first time I had bought a house by myself! Amy helped take the fear out of that just by listening, researching, and explaining the home buying process to me. I have got to admit, it was one of the smoothest purchases I have ever made...and we're talking about a house here! Wow! Amy has what it takes to work in this market and environment. She LISTENS, and values CUSTOMER SERVICE! These are two very critical areas that will make or break a person or business. It is definite I will come back to Amy and will definitely refer her to my friends who are in need of a real estate agent who makes you feel important and like you're working with a friend!""

"We knew Amy was a special person by the e-mails we exchanged the months prior to meeting her personally. We have had many opportunities to work with realtors and have purchased many properties over our 37 years of marriage, but our experience with Amy was far and above what we had ever expected. Her professional approach and knowledge of the real estate market, found our perfect home in only two days. This didn’t happen by chance. Amy worked hard by listening to our needs, investigating available properties and giving us the most exciting and fun experience we have ever had in searching for our home. ------ Amy is as beautiful inside as she is outside and we are happy to consider her our friend."

""From the beginning, Amy Jones made our experience a pleasant one. Her in-depth knowledge of real estate in the South Tempe area helped to speed up the process of finding the house to meet our needs. Amy was always available to answer our questions in a timely manner throughout the time we worked with her. We have referred her to several of our friends and will continue to refer her to anyone who's looking for a Realtor!""

""I had the opportunity to meet Amy early on in her real estate career. Amy was very eager to help us find our home, she listened and found us our perfect home! We would have never found it, but she suggested that we look at a home that was so new on the MLS, that it did not even show a photo. Usually we did not even look at a home if you couldn't see a picture first, but she thought it would be one we would like. It was and one month later it was ours! When it was time to move on a couple years later, she sold our home before it was even on the market and for $8,000 more than we were asking, this was 1 year before the big real estate boom. I would highly recommend Amy to everybody I now, she is the best!""

"We live in DeWinton, Alberta and after this last long and cold winter, we decided to look at real estate in a warmer climate. The rise in the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar and reports that Phoenix area real estate had dropped significantly in value, prompted us to consider purchasing a winter vacation home.
We found Amy Jones’s name and two other real estate agents by doing a Google real estate search. One agent did not reply to our email and the other offered us free gifts or reduced fees if we would use their services. We did not want to deal with an agent that promised gifts or reduced fees. We wanted a professional agent who was extremely knowledgeable in real estate and able to answer all the concerns that a Canadian resident might have. Amy responded promptly to all our numerous questions about Phoenix area real estate, legal matters, insurance, security and safety issues.
Amy had asked us what type of lifestyle and property we were interested in?
We did not realize how important the lifestyle question was until we looked at various properties in Mesa, Gilbert and Chandler. Amy showed us several properties in those areas and we quickly realized we did not want to buy just another home in another city suburb. We wanted a winter vacation country club lifestyle.
Amy showed us several properties in Sun Lakes Oakwood area and the associated amenities. We were impressed with the 27 hole golf course, 3 swimming pools (heated for winter use), the beautiful club house, other recreation facilities and community security. The area was kept in immaculate condition and the people we met were very friendly.
Amy assisted us in closing the deal, completing all the legal forms, getting required insurance and provided a list of the utility companies. Her service was outstanding and she gave accurate advice, always acting in a very professional manor. We would recommend her services to anyone without any hesitation."

""What can I say about Amy that hasn’t already been said? She made my first home-buying experience an absolute pleasure! I was moving to the Arizona area from out of state, and by holding my hand through every step of the progression, Amy eliminated any of the normal stress and concern over such a life-changing purpose. She even succeeded in making it enjoyable! Amy cheerfully and patiently answered every question I had as a first-time buyer, explaining in a simple and understandable way the paperwork and the process. As a teacher myself, I really appreciated that. Furthermore, she went “above and beyond” by helping me look at neighborhoods that were normally outside of her typical areas of familiarity. That extra effort paid off, as we found a beautiful home in Queen Creek that I show off with pride. Thanks Amy!""

""Amy Jones is simply the Best. We had a house hunting blast with her, so much so that we didn't want the house hunting process to end. Amy is extremely knowledgeable and truly listened to our needs and wants. Amy found us an awesome house in a high demand area in Ocotillo. Amy took control and handled everything for us; from paperwork, to appointments, to what to expect and even getting handy man quotes for us. Amy's work made the entire process so easy and simple; she handled it with such care and great communication. We would not have found our house or had such a wonderful experience without Amy's help and assistance. Amy was terrific to work with and represented us extremely well, with her character, integrity, communication and sense of humor. If you want the Best go with Amy.""

"A is for awesome. A is for amazing, and A is for Amy Jones, the best Realtor in Arizona! I was so lucky to have found Amy 2 years ago to help with the purchase of my condo. She made the transaction seamless. When I decided to buy a different house a few months ago, it was only natural to call on Amy. Within a few days my condo was listed, and within a couple of weeks we had a sale – a full price offer! Amy knew exactly how to price my property in keeping with today's competitive market. Amy also assisted me with the purchase of my new house, for which I will forever be grateful. In all of the buying and selling negotiations, Amy acted as my spokesperson, my advocate and my advisor. She took the time to know what I was looking for, and truly represented me during the entire process. I would recommend Amy to anyone who is looking for a friendly, honest and professional real estate agent. Trust me - she will be your real estate agent for life!"

"After 22 years in the Air Force, and 26 moves, Ann and I have had a lot of dealings with real estate personnel; some good and some not so good. We both agree that Amy is the most professional, responsive, knowledgeable and definitely the most caring Realtor we have come in contact with. She came highly recommended from long time Air Force friends. She did an outstanding job helping and guiding us through the challenge of finding, buying and closing on our home in Sun Lakes, Az. Her expert computer skills combined with her photography skills, helped us find our new home, get an expert inspection and close with minimum involvement on our part. Her assistance did not end with closing. Her knowledge of the community has helped us find gardeners, electricians, etc. We consider her a very professional Realtor and a very close FRIEND."

Amy Jones answered:
It could be a number of reasons, Becky. Our market is slow right now, however, if your home is priced well and shows well (both in person and on the internet,) you should be having some activity. Have you asked to look at your listing on the MLS to see how it looks there? Also, you might try running your address on a Google search to see if it shows up. It should if it's being marketed on the internet where 84% of all buyers start their search for a home.
Your agent can provide you with current comps to make sure your home is still priced where it should be as our market is still trending downward unfortunately.
Sending you best wishes for a speedy sale~

I once sold one of my listings while I was standing at the pump filling my car with gas. The couple behind me noticed my 1CASA4U license plate, asked if I was a Realtor and told me they were looking for a home. After a short conversation I mentioned that I had a home listed that might fit the bill.
Long story made short they bought the home.
I have sold a lot of houses. But, I have sold more houses at the gas pump than I have at an open house... Guess I should spend more time at the gas pump on the weekend. Makes about as much sense as sitting in an empty house hoping someone stops in.

I had heard about chickens...I'd probably rather have a chicken than a cat...doubt the HOA would like it much though! :)
The home I lived in that was sealed for Scorpions was 2333 square feet and a 2 story. This was 7 years ago so prices may be a little higher now. I actually had black lights in my bedroom I would use at night so I wouldn't step on one and I made sure none of my bedding touched the floor and put the legs of my bed in glass jars...I really didn't want to sleep with one of those buggers!
If you like cats (I don't), they are the natural predator of scorpions...but you can't declaw them since that helps them kill the scorpion.
I'm sure you've heard all the other helpful tips about getting rid of their food supply...crickets, roaches and spiders. So pest control monthly is a must.
Good luck...I know what a creepy feeling it is.

Hi Ed,
I was once known as the "Scorpion Queen" after killing over 90 scorpions in my Warner Ranch home in Tempe over about 6 months. I had the home sealed at a cost of about $700 which cut down the scorpion sitings inside my home to about 1 a month. Unfortunately, scorpions are very territorial and especially love preserve lots and golf lots or homes that are built on old orchard sites. I used Arizona Exterminating for the sealing and also posted an article scorpions on my blog at the link below. Good luck!

I have tremendous results from Point2. Most of my business comes from either referrals or my website. I would strongly encourage anyone to use it. Good luck!
Amy Jones answered:
I would suggest if you are making an offer on a home where no SPDS is available, make sure you ask your agent to provide you with a blank copy of the SPDS document so you can see exactly what information the seller is NOT disclosing to you. It's good to be fully aware.
When I represent buyers on a property where the SPDS is not provided, I provide the buyers with a blank copy of the SPDS for their records and have them initial it indicating they have reviewed it.
Good luck to you!
