Arizona Horse Property for Sale — Ask Michelle Shelton, Horse Property Specialist Since 2004

Have you ever hired someone you thought would be great initially and quickly realized you made a huge mistake? Yeah. Me too. Hiring the right person to represent you in selling your horse property is not an easy decision. You don't want to be stuck with someone you don't like or who doesn't understand you or your situation, right?

I mean, if it's a horse property, how much do they know about horse properties? Do they understand flood irrigation and how much sand you had to bring into that arena? Do they know County Islands and all that goes with it? If you are interviewing, it might be a good idea to ask these questions.

The average agent will most likely come in with comps and give you a low number. They don't see the value in all that land. I hear it all the time. I have had sellers for whom I got $125,000 more than any other agent. They even told them they could get it, and they interviewed five other agents. Do you think the agent doesn't make that much of a difference? My clients know I make a difference.

I had another Gilbert horse property owner. A local "horse property expert" told them she could get them $750,000. I got them $1.3 million. Do you still think your agent doesn't matter? My clients know the agent matters! Don't settle for that.

I have been selling these types of properties since 2004. I have created a proven system, The Straight Shooter Method, to support horse property owners just like you. This is a system that all of our agents are trained on, and it simply works. It creates a consistent, low-drama, high-touch experience and helps you get more money for your property. It can't get any better than that now, can it?

Equine properties take exceptional marketing, special pricing, and a unique buyer. That buyer may not even live in Arizona. If you don't have a solid, proven marketing plan, how do you find them?

There is also a type of agent that tells you what they can't do. You will never hear that from me. I promise. I will educate and guide you to make informed decisions. If you decide you want to do something and I don't think it's a great idea, I will tell you and explain why — if you still want to proceed, you are the boss.

Are you downsizing and moving to Arizona? You have been bouncing from website to website looking at Arizona homes for sale and you know the perfect home is out there for you. This you know for certain. It's just where and when?

Equine homes in Arizona are beautiful and in reality, you would be okay with being in Arizona without a horse property. Searching Arizona real estate at night or early in the morning is your go-to these days. You search every chance you get, especially while watching TV and with your morning coffee.

Despite feeling excited, you equally feel a little uncertain. Moving to Arizona is what you want, it really is — but you haven't done more than look at homes online. Because you enjoy looking at all the beautiful Arizona homes for sale, it makes it easy to not take action.

Although you really want to get out of the crappy weather and get to the amazing Arizona weather, you are scared to make a move this big. However, your friends and family are supportive. At your age and stage of life, it's time to do something for yourself! You deserve it.

Maybe you don't want horse property. You're not sure but you dream about Arizona horse property. Maybe a golf course home or active adult community? Generally, it doesn't really matter — you just want to get there and enjoy the weather!
