What readers say when the sign comes down

“Inez told us to wait for the second week of monsoon and list under the comps. We thought she was crazy. We closed eleven days later, over ask, to a buyer who quoted her Sam Hughes dispatch back to us.”

“We read Dispatch No. 21 before we ever saw the house. By the time we walked Armory Park with her, we already knew which blocks flood in August and which porches catch the evening cross-breeze.”

“Every other agent sent us listings. Inez sent us a two-page letter about caliche, swamp coolers, and why the lot next door mattered more than the kitchen.”

“She priced our adobe for the walls, not the square footage — then defended that number through two appraisals without blinking. Nobody else in town would have known what the zaguán was worth.”

“Our list of fixes was three items long and cost less than the staging quote we got elsewhere. The house appraised clean and closed in fourteen days, over list.”

“We toured at 8 am in August because she said monsoon buyers get the leverage. She was right — we paid under the spring comps and watched the wash run before we wrote the offer.”
