We were living in a two story home and wanted to move to a single story home on a larger lot with a pool.  We called Lucy and she said that the perfect home had just come on the market that morning.  She showed us the home that day and we wrote up the contract.  There were three other buyers who also wanted it.  Lucy made sure we had the better contract and we got the home. 

Now the trick was to get our existing home sold quick to avoid two house payments!  Lucy sold it for full price in 6 days and we were thrilled that she negotiated the contract terms so we would only have to move once!

My fiance Jan and myself visited Tucson in December of 1998 to familiarize ourselves with the area.  We both agree the weekend itinerary put together by Raytheon was an excellent program to insure all employees received adequate information on which to make a relocation decision.

One major concern for most people faced with making the decision to move to Tucson is the cost of housing.  We heard several comments while in Tucson and several since we have returned to Texas about the lack of affordable housing.
 
Jan and I would like to relate our experience while looking for housing in Tucson.  Tony Ray Baker contacted us prior to our departure from Dallas to schedule an appointment to look at available homes.  He asked us what we were looking for, i.e., size, area, price range, etc., which we were glad to share with him.  He met us in Tucson with a list of homes he had chosen which met our criteria.  He showed us homes in more than one area of the city, which allowed us to see the areas and the variation in prices from one area to another.  And, just as important, he did not show us homes we felt were out of our price range.  We came home convinced there were homes in Tucson that met our expectations.  We owe this realization to Tony Ray for his understanding of our needs and his efforts to show us exactly what we asked to see.
 
If I may, I would like to make a suggestion for future familiarization trips.  Have someone contact each employee to inquire about individual housing needs.  Then show each employee homes, in more than one area that meets their criteria.  It may be possible that most employees are only seeing homes in the more expensive neighborhoods and they don't realize that there are other options available.  Tony Ray showed us the East, West, North, and Northwest areas to give us the chance to evaluate each area.  It would be a plus if all employees had the same personalized tour based on their individual criteria.

Tony Ray is simply the best!
Because of my husband's job career, we move A LOT!  In 1999, we moved from Tucson back to the Midwest and Tony Ray went above and beyond as our real estate consultant with his professionalism, business savvy and great negotiating skills! He made what could have been a difficult transaction effortless for us.

As we closed the deal, Tony Ray was confident that we would move back to Tucson some day.  He was right!
 
When my husband and I found out that we were moving back to Tucson in 2003 we immediately called Tony Ray!  I was so excited to work with Tony Ray again because of his passion and enthusiasm for his real estate clients. He made himself available on our timetable so we could fly in to look at houses.  When Tony Ray said to us in 1999 that he was our real estate consultant for life, he really meant it.  Thanks Tony Ray: we are your real estate clients for life!

My husband was having health issues so we needed to sell our home quickly and move to another state where our children could help with their father.  We called Lucy and she came over immediatly.  She spent two hours staging our home so it would look perfect.  It looked so beautiful we wanted to stay but that wasnt an option.

We were so excited when she called and said that the first person who saw it wrote a contract for full price and wanted to close right away.

I was trying to sell my home For Sale By Owner and it was quickly becoming an aweful experience.  A friend of mine referred me to Lucy.  She made the house look great by staging it and doing things I had no idea would make the house more appealing to buyers.  She counceled me on how to price the house since I was asking too much.  I appreciate how honest she was and I trusted her.  She got the house sold and found me a great new home to live in that I love.  It was a very stressful time in my life and I appreciated all her help.  Thanks Lucy, Manny

Our family grew overnight with the birth of our twin girls and our current home was busting at the seams.  We talked with Lucy at length.  She asked so many questions we hadn't even thought about. 

Lucy was able to find us exactly what we were looking for.  She listened to what we wanted and found it quickly.  Now we have a spacious home on an acre with h room to grow and  a garage for our boat & toys.
