Hi, I'm Teresa. Ask me anything before you hire a Tucson agent.
Most people pick the first agent they talk to. So talk to me first, the way you'd talk to a friend: by text. Tap a question and I'll answer it here, or text me the real one.
TeresaUsually replies in 10 min- Hey! I'm Teresa 👋
- Born at St. Mary's, raised off Grant Road, still here. Two kids, one very loud heeler named Chile.
- Here's me, minus the sunburn:
- Illustration, not a photo.
- Why should I trust you?
- Fair question. I taught 4th grade for nine years before real estate, so I explain things until they make sense, not until I'm tired of explaining.
- And I'll tell you when a house is wrong for you, even if it means another month of looking.
- What's a normal day?
- School drop-off at 7:40. Showings and calls till 3. Pickup. Paperwork after bedtime.
- Saturdays are open houses and soccer, in that order. You'll see it all on my calendar below.
- How do you sell a house?
- We walk it together and I tell you the three things a buyer will notice first. Usually it's small stuff.
- Then real photos, a price backed by the last 90 days of sales, and a weekly text with every showing and what people said.
- What do you charge?
- Commission is negotiable and we agree on it in writing before we start. No surprises at closing.
- Buyers: we sign a short agreement before touring that spells out exactly what I'm paid and who pays it.
- Do you only do midtown?
- Midtown is home, but I sell all over Tucson: Sam Hughes, the foothills, Marana, the west side.
- I just know which streets flood in monsoon season, because I grew up driving them.

Okay, now the agent part
Here is exactly what happens when you hire me, whether you're selling or buying.
If you're selling
- We walk your house and I tell you the three things buyers will notice first.
- I price it from the last 90 days of real sales near you, and show you every comp.
- Real photos, a floor plan and a video walkthrough before it goes live.
- A text every Friday: every showing, every bit of feedback, nothing hidden.
- I run the offers, the inspection and the appraisal until the keys change hands.
If you're buying
- A 20-minute coffee to learn what you actually need, not just beds and baths.
- A lender introduction if you want one, so you know your number first.
- Showings on your schedule, with notes from me on every house.
- I write offers that sellers take seriously, and I tell you when to walk away.
- I stay on it through inspection, appraisal and closing, and after.
- selling homes in Tucson
- 11 yrs

Homes I'd text you about (sample listings)
This is how I send houses: a picture and one honest line about why it might be the one.
$389,000 · 3 bd · 2 ba · 1,640 sq ftMidtown, near the Rillito path Ranch with a big shaded yard. The roof was redone in 2024. You'd hear the doves every morning.
$725,000 · 4 bd · 3 ba · 2,480 sq ftCatalina Foothills The sunset view off the back patio is the whole reason. Ask me about the HOA before you fall for it.
$312,000 · 2 bd · 1 ba · 1,050 sq ftBarrio Viejo edge Small, adobe walls, and the pink door stays. Great first home if you don't need a garage.
$279,000 · 2 bd · 2.5 ba · 1,220 sq ftWest side, near Tumamoc Hill Lock-and-leave townhome. I'd look at it if you hike Tumamoc every morning like I try to.

What clients texted me after
Sample reviews for this demo. Your site shows your own Google reviews, newest first, with names and dates.
The Friday texts were everything. I always knew where we stood, even the week nobody came.
She talked us out of a house we loved because of the roof. Found a better one three weeks later.
Took us a while to find the right place, but Teresa never pushed. Felt like having a friend in the business.
Rather fill out a form? That works too
Three quick questions and I'll text you back today. If you just want to chat first, that's fine. No pressure, no drip emails.
Faster? Text me or (520) 555-0148.
Questions people text me
Do I have to sign anything to talk to you?
No. Texting, coffee and questions are free. If you want to tour homes, we sign a short written buyer agreement first, as the rules now require, and it says exactly what I'm paid.
What's your commission?
It's negotiable, and we put it in writing before any work starts. I'll walk you through what's included so you can compare me to anyone else.
Can you help if I'm moving to Tucson from out of state?
Yes. Video tours, a list of inspectors and lenders I trust, and a straight answer on monsoon season, scorpions and summer power bills.
How fast will you get back to me?
Usually within 10 minutes during the day. If I'm at a closing or my kid's game, I'll reply by that evening.
