How we help


What Can You Expect When You Work With Us?

You can expect a clear plan, proactive communication and experienced representation at every step, whether you are selling, buying, relocating to the West Valley, choosing new construction, or doing two moves at once.

Home Selling

Every seller’s situation is different, so we start with your goals and build the strategy around them. From pricing and positioning to marketing, negotiations, and preparing for what comes next, you’ll have a clear plan, proactive communication, and experienced representation focused on protecting your interests and getting you the strongest possible outcome.

Home Buying

Finding the home is only part of the job. We’ll help you evaluate the home and the market around it, structure a competitive offer without giving away more than necessary, negotiate on your behalf, and stay ahead of the details from contract to closing, so you can make confident decisions while knowing someone is looking out for you.

Relocation to the Phoenix West Valley

When you’re moving from out of state, it’s hard to know what you don’t know. We’ll help you compare West Valley communities, understand the tradeoffs that aren’t obvious online, and narrow down where and what makes the most sense for you, then represent you through the purchase so you can make your move with a local expert in your corner.

New Construction

Builder incentives can be attractive, but the best deal isn’t always the biggest advertised incentive. We’ll help you compare builders, communities, homes, financing incentives, and resale alternatives, then provide independent representation throughout the process so you can evaluate the entire deal, not just the sales pitch.

Buying & Selling at the Same Time

When one move depends on another, timing and planning matter. We’ll map out the options before you make a move, coordinate the sale and purchase as one strategy, and anticipate potential problems so you’re not left wondering where you’ll live or what happens next.

Investment Properties, Short Sales & Foreclosures

We also represent investors buying in the West Valley and homeowners working through a short sale or foreclosure. Kasandra holds the Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource (SFR) designation, so distressed situations get a clear plan and steady communication, not guesswork.

Client Reviews

36 five-star reviews on Google and Zillow

“Kasandra is extremely knowledgeable. Her communication skills are impeccable. We communicated through email, text, Zoom, and phone calls — communication was imperative being out-of-town clients. She read through the contract and highlighted parts we needed to be aware of. When it came to the walk-thru she had her blue tape in her hand marking things that needed to be addressed. She is thorough, dependable, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.”

Paul · Google review

“Kasandra worked with our son and us in finding the right home for my son. She worked diligently via video calls as we were remote. Kasandra is an outstanding communicator and her follow up was outstanding. I would not hesitate to recommend Kasandra to anyone looking to buy a home in the greater Phoenix area. 100% satisfied!”

“I couldn’t be more grateful for Kasandra Chavez’ work on the sale of my parents’ home. I know her expertise and strategic approach lead us to the best possible outcome. If you are looking to work with a patient and dedicated realtor that will deliver results I highly recommend Kasandra.”

La Maja · Google review

“Kassandra and Gabriel have sold us two homes now and we cannot thank them enough! This most recent experience was more complex, navigating selling our home with a contingent offer on the new home. They consistently went above and beyond for us. They have been nothing short of excellent, trustworthy, kind and always had our best interest in mind.”

She helps clients understand local market conditions, evaluate their options, and develop a strategy around their goals and timeline. From pricing and negotiating to anticipating potential challenges, Kasandra prioritizes preparation, honest guidance, and proactive communication so clients understand their decisions and what comes next.

How is Kasandra Chavez different from other real estate agents in the West Valley?

Kasandra Chavez takes an education-first approach rather than using the same process for every client.

For sellers, she evaluates current competition, buyer demand, pricing, and presentation, not just comparable sales. For buyers, she helps compare neighborhoods, understand ownership costs, and negotiate favorable terms.

Her approach is shaped by each client's priorities, with clear expectations and consistent communication throughout the process.

What is the Chavez Dream Home Team?

The Chavez Dream Home Team is a husband-and-wife real estate team at Real Broker AZ, led by Kasandra Chavez alongside her husband, Gabriel.

Kasandra is the primary point of contact, personally guiding clients through their strategy, negotiations, and important decisions. Gabriel provides additional support when Kasandra is with other clients, including responding to buyer and agent inquiries about listings.

Together, they offer personalized representation with the added responsiveness of a team.

Which Phoenix West Valley communities and neighborhoods does Kasandra Chavez know best?

Kasandra Chavez has firsthand knowledge of Vistancia, Aloravita, Rancho Cabrillo, and Westwing Mountain in Peoria; Asante, Marley Park, and Sterling Grove in Surprise; and Estrella Mountain Ranch and Palm Valley in Goodyear. She also serves North Phoenix communities including Sonoran Foothills, Union Park at Norterra, and Anthem.

Through neighborhood guides, YouTube community tours, and local market analysis, she helps buyers compare home styles, amenities, builders, HOA considerations, commutes, and future development.

Does Kasandra Chavez specialize in helping first-time or out-of-practice home sellers?

Yes. Helping first-time and out-of-practice sellers is one of Kasandra Chavez's specialties, shaped by her own experience selling a home for the first time.

When she and Gabriel sold their first home, they weren't prepared for how showings, timelines, and decisions would affect their daily lives. They also lacked clear communication about what came next.

Today, Kasandra focuses on educating sellers, anticipating challenges, establishing showing expectations, and giving homeowners a voice throughout the process. Her goal is to reduce unnecessary stress and surprises while developing a selling strategy that works for both the property and the people living in it.

What does Kasandra Chavez do differently to market and sell a home?

Kasandra Chavez develops a customized listing strategy based on the seller's goals, market conditions, competing properties, and the buyers most likely to be interested in the home.

She considers what matters to those buyers and how to reach them, using those insights to guide pricing, photography, video, listing descriptions, and marketing channels.

Marketing continues after the home is listed. Kasandra monitors showing activity, buyer feedback, competing listings, and market changes while providing weekly seller updates. This allows her to recommend adjustments when needed rather than simply waiting for an offer.

My home didn't sell with my last Realtor. What would Kasandra Chavez do differently?

When a listing expires or is canceled, Kasandra Chavez starts by identifying why the home didn't sell.

She reviews the previous listing, pricing history, photography, presentation, showing activity, buyer feedback, and competing properties. She also evaluates current market conditions to determine what may need to change.

From there, Kasandra develops a customized relisting strategy that may involve pricing, presentation, a different buyer audience, or changes to the marketing approach. The goal is to give homeowners a fresh perspective and a clear plan before returning to the market.

Can I buy and sell a house at the same time without feeling rushed?

Yes. Kasandra Chavez has successfully helped Greater Phoenix homeowners secure their next home through a contingent offer before listing their current property.

Her approach begins by preparing the existing home for sale, including pricing and marketing, while buyers search for a home they love. When the right opportunity arises, she works to negotiate a contingent offer and then coordinates both transactions and their closing timelines.

Not every seller accepts contingent offers, but when market conditions allow, this strategy can reduce the pressure to sell first and settle for a home simply because time is running out.

How can I find out what my home is worth in today's market?

Kasandra Chavez offers free, personalized home valuations throughout Peoria, Surprise, Goodyear, and the Greater Phoenix area.

Unlike automated estimates, her analysis considers your home's condition, upgrades, recent comparable sales, current competition, and buyer demand to identify a realistic potential selling price range.

You don't have to be ready to sell. The goal is to help you understand your home's market position and make informed decisions on your timeline.

How does Kasandra Chavez help buyers relocating to the Phoenix West Valley?

Kasandra Chavez helps relocation buyers compare communities, home prices, commute times, new construction, and resale options throughout Peoria, Surprise, North Phoenix, and the surrounding West Valley.

As an Arizona native, she combines firsthand local knowledge with YouTube neighborhood tours, community guides, virtual home tours, and remote communication.

Once under contract, clients receive access to a portal with important dates and milestones. Kasandra also sends separate video explanations at each new phase of the transaction so buyers understand Arizona's homebuying process and what happens next.

Do I need my own Realtor when buying a new construction home in Arizona?

You aren't required to have your own Realtor when buying new construction, but the builder's sales representative works for the builder, not you.

Having personally purchased three new construction homes, Kasandra Chavez understands the process as both a homeowner and a real estate professional.

She accompanies buyers to builder appointments, helps review contracts, public reports, incentives, and upgrade costs, and provides guidance through construction, inspections, and closing.

Because builders may require your Realtor to be registered before your first visit, it's best to contact Kasandra before visiting a model home or registering online.

Do you help military families and veterans buy or sell homes near Luke Air Force Base?

Yes. Kasandra Chavez and the Chavez Dream Home Team have experience helping military families with PCS relocations to and from Luke Air Force Base, as well as veterans using VA home loans.

They assist buyers and sellers throughout Surprise, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Buckeye, Glendale, and surrounding communities, helping coordinate housing decisions around military timelines.

For families relocating from a distance, Kasandra also provides virtual home tours, remote communication, and guidance throughout the transaction.

What do clients say about working with Kasandra Chavez?

Clients frequently praise Kasandra Chavez and the Chavez Dream Home Team for their communication, local market knowledge, responsiveness, and strategic guidance.

Sellers appreciate her preparation, marketing approach, and consistent updates. Buyers highlight her patience, negotiation skills, and willingness to explain the process. Relocation clients also value her local expertise and ability to coordinate purchases remotely.

A recurring theme is that clients feel heard, informed, and supported throughout their move.
