Big news! After months of work, research, licensing, moving logistics, neighborhood deep-dives, and more than a few “I wish someone had just explained this clearly” moments, my book is ready to share.
I wrote this guide for Oregon real estate brokers, clients, friends, and families who are thinking about making the move to the Phoenix metro area and suburbs. Whether you’re looking at Scottsdale, Verrado, Buckeye, Surprise, Chandler, Gilbert, Peoria, Goodyear, or anywhere in between, this book is designed to give you a practical, real-world starting point.
It covers the things people actually need to know:
- How the Arizona real estate process works
- What’s different from Oregon
- How to think about neighborhoods and lifestyle
- What to know about homes, HOAs, inspections, and desert construction
- How to plan the move without feeling overwhelmed
And for my Realtor friends, this is also a resource you can share with clients who are considering a move to Arizona. My goal is simple: help people make a smarter, more confident transition.
You can get your free copy today at: https://patricksarizona.com ... or you can type "Portland to Phoenix" into an amazon search and buy one if you prefer (but I'd rather send you one for free).
If you’re thinking about moving, curious about Arizona, or know someone who is, I’d love for you to grab a copy and share it with them, or send them to my website to order their own.
Arizona is absolutely awesome, and I’m bullish on all the robust opportunities in this place that values business owners, taxpayers, the rule of law, and more. Ready to join me?
