In 1997, after 17 years of teaching hearing impaired and autistic children, I became a full-time real estate agent and have been a part of the Century 21 brand and Arizona Foothills brokerage since 1998. Real Estate had always been of interest to me as my two daughters can attest after dragging them to every new build and many open houses when they were young! Shortly after joining Century 21 Arizona Foothills, my husband and I moved to Cabo San Lucas, BCS, Mexico. I kept my license active in Arizona. In Mexico, we started a property management company and a separate vacation rental company. We managed up to 90 homes and had over 120 homes in our rental pool. Over the years in Mexico, I gained experience in running an international company with over 20 employees, international real estate sales, international rentals, and working with people from all over the world. Amidst running our property management and rental business in Cabo, I would drop in for meetings as the “international agent” of Arizona Foothills. Being out of the country, it was a godsend to still have access to all of the resources and training that have always been offered by this brokerage. As an agent, there is always something to improve. Following up on leads, fostering relationships with clients, familiarizing myself with areas served, and finding time to attend training and meetings are all part of serving my clients. I'm available to serve the entire Phoenix metro area and part of Pinal County which includes Maricopa, Casa Grande, Eloy, Arizona City, and Stanfield. In 2021 I added the White Mountains of Arizona to the areas being served. This includes communities in both Navajo and Apache counties such as Show Low, Pinetop, Heber/Overgaard, Snowflake, and more. I have experience in residential sales, vacant land sales, international residential sales, property management, and rentals both long and short-term. I have always found it easy to meet new people. Ask my husband who I met in line 13 at the DMV, because of a spider, which is a story in itself! Customer service and communication have always been of great importance in helping my clients. I welcome the opportunity to work with you! Let me simplify your real estate experience.

Working with Nanci was a wonderful experience. We were navigating this purchase from afar and her knowledge, expertise, reliability and calm demeanor was superb. We knew we could count on her with any questions and she was always there for us. Would definitely use her again or recommend her to friends and family. She helped us meet the needs of our multi-generational family and was very acommodating.

I had used Nanci in the past when buying the property on Sacaton. She worked very well with my mom, Patricia, who purchased the property. Nanci listened and understood the situation with Patricia. She was very kind and patient with my mom. Nanci would walk her through how to sign the Documents on line. She helped ease Patricia's mind in buying a house for the first time on her own. Nanci followed up with my mom several times; she even came to visit my mom after she was settled in to her new home.
It only made sense for me to use Nanci again when it was time to sell Sacaton. My mom was uncertain as to why she needed to sell so when she knew Nanci would be her realtor she was comfortable about it.
Nanci helped price the house and kept me informed about the comps and other homes in the area. She marketed the house as best she could. Summers not the best time to sell a house in Phoenix but Nanci followed up on every prospective buyer. She sold it at a price we were comfortable with.

Nanci was the most amazing/first realtor I’ve worked with. She really set the tone for any other realtors I work with as she was very attentive, followed up constantly throughout the whole process, and was very committed to helping me sell as quickly as possible for a good price. She was very understanding of the urgency and from the time the house was listed to when we closed, the whole process only took a month! Nanci is most amazing and if I had more properties in the area, she would be the first person I contact!
