Different ways to live.
Finding the right home starts with finding the right area. Whether you’re drawn to mountain views, golf communities, or a neighborhood close to shopping and dining, we’ll help you figure out where to begin.
We’re Max and Nick Strietzel. We created this guide to help you explore the Valley, compare neighborhoods, and get a clearer picture of what living here could look like. When you’re ready, we’ll help turn your favorites into a focused home search.

Our local price guidance, October 2026. Typical prices are area reference points; entry-level homes and individual properties vary. We’ll confirm current availability together.
About the price guidance
We use our local price guidance and broad purchase bands to screen budgets and rank areas alongside your lifestyle priorities. Typical prices are not minimum prices: lower-end opportunities receive less weight in the recommendations. This is guidance, not live inventory or a property valuation.

Before you make the move.
Do you work with buyers at all price points?
Yes! We work with buyers at all price points. Whether you’re buying your first home, relocating to Arizona, or looking for a luxury property, we’ll help you find the right fit for your budget and priorities. We give every client the same personal attention, whatever their budget.
Where should we start if we don’t know the area?
Pick two or three areas around your daily priorities, then spend time in each. We can build a touring route that pairs homes with the neighborhoods around them, so you can compare how each place actually feels.
Should we rent first or buy before moving?
It depends on your timeline and how familiar you are with the Valley. Renting can give you time to learn the area; buying sooner may suit buyers who already know their priorities. We’ll talk through your options and focus our services on your purchase.
Can we tour homes while we’re still out of state?
Yes. Contact us to coordinate live video walkthroughs and an in-person visit. We’ll help you understand the layout, condition, surroundings, and questions that deserve a closer look before you make a decision.
How do we choose schools?
Confirm attendance boundaries directly with the district for the specific property, review Arizona’s official school reports, and contact schools about programs and enrollment. School assignments can change, and a city name or ZIP code alone isn’t enough.
Arizona school report cardsWhat about golf communities and club memberships?
Home ownership and club membership are often separate. Before focusing on a golf community, verify current membership availability, fees, waitlists, and whether membership transfers with a sale directly with the club.
