Welcome To The Rigo Team,

Vince and Cheryl D. -- Dec 2019

Carlene Krahn is a realtor that we entrusted to assist us in the biggest purchase most people like us will ever make:  a home.  She is very passionate in helping us and gave us keen insight with her market knowledge of the community with which we relocated.   Like most people, there can be an incredible amount of anxiety at the thought of moving, but the process was made that much easier with her assistance.  Carlene is a very responsible and capable individual that knows the real estate business better than most.  She takes her role very seriously, particularly when it involves moving with small children in elementary school, as was our case. On the other side, we were faced with renting our previous home to new tenants.  Carlene rolled up her sleeves and went to work identifying areas in our home that needed cosmetic improvements.  Once that was done, she aggressively marketed our home and showed it until the right family appeared.  She walked us first time landlords through the process of being able to manage our own property (saving money on third-party mgmt fees), and assisted us until the new tenants received their keys.  I still call Carlene with questions regarding the rental and she gladly takes time out of her day to help us. When it comes time to sell our rental or even purchase another home, we have no hesitation in calling Carlene to represent us, as we entrust the biggest asset we own to her.   Vince and Cheryl D.

Thank you Team Rigo for making the home buying process so easy! -- Jul 2021

Thank you Team Rigo for making the home buying process so easy! As exiting Californians your team made buying a home from out of state incredibly smooth. We appreciate all your expertise and the introductions to your referral network. We can’t say enough how professional not only your team has been but all the contractors, inspectors, repair people you have introduced us to have been as well. To say you went above and beyond is an understatement. As someone in the mortgage industry myself I don’t refer friends and family to just anyone. Based on our experience with Team Rigo, we have several people we can’t wait to send to you for the same top-notch service. Jeff and Sherri C.

We can’t say enough good things about Carlene .  She came highly recommended from a friend who had recently bought a home in north Scottsdale.  From the moment we first spoke to Carlene on the phone, we felt comfortable with her real estate expertise and her knowledge of the area.  We live in Denver and needed somebody who knew the area well.  We also needed a real estate agent who would listen—actually listen—to our desires and our needs in a new home.  Carlene listened.  We began making day trips to Scottsdale.  Arrive in the morning from Denver, leave at night.  We would land early, meet up with Carlene, and immediately start looking at homes.  Carlene carved out a full day for us on a number of occasions and had a list of homes ready for viewing.  Talk about power shopping!  Some days, we looked at 12-15 homes.  Carlene had a great feel for what we wanted.  Out of the approximately 50-60 homes we looked at over a two month period, there might have been two or three that didn’t appeal to us at all.  In other words, Carlene didn’t waste our time just trying to make a sale.  She really cared about what we wanted and didn’t believe in “throwing you-know-what against the wall and seeing if it sticks.”  I also had a specific model and builder in mind and Carlene kept her eye out for that specific type of home.  Finally, we found it, put in a bid and the negotiation started.  Carlene was great in this process, also.  She and Shelly were very well-versed in Arizona laws re: buyer-seller agreements.  They were also very upfront with us if we got too unrealistic in our thought process re: negotiating a price.  In the end, we were very happy with the price we paid for our home.  We believe we got a great deal on a great home in a great area.  But Carlene’s help didn’t end there.  Besides hooking us up with a good inspector prior to the close, she hooked us up with everybody else we needed AFTER the close—from dry wallers to electronics experts to landscape artists to house managers.  She had a recommendation—and sometimes a few good recommendations—for every need we had.  Through Carlene, we found very competent, capable, fairly priced workers to come to the house and get it ready for our move-in.  And now that we ARE moved in and as we find other things we need to make the house more comfortable and to meet our needs, we’re still leaning on Carlene for recommendations.  We can’t say enough about Carlene’s knowledge and service.  We would highly recommend her to anybody—family, friends, anybody looking to purchase or sell a house in Scottsdale.  It’s not easy doing something like this from 1,000 miles away, but Carlene MADE it easy for us.  We’re thrilled to have found her and grateful to have worked with her.

So Thankful for The Rigo Team -- Sep 2021

My husband and I are so thankful for the Rigo Team. We decided to buy a home and sell ours during a very crazy time. We had no idea where to begin or what to expect during the process. Ana Marie and her team stepped in and walked with us the whole way, always providing guidance and support. We are so appreciative of all their help and hard work . We absolutely love our new home and we cannot thank them enough. We highly recommend the Rigo Team and will surely rely on their expert service the next time we move. The Craumers

Working with Nikki to find our dream home in the Cave Creek area was amazing! -- Jul 2021

Working with Nikki to find our dream home in the Cave Creek area was amazing! After spending time with Nikki, giving her our wish list & looking at a few houses, she knew exactly what we were looking for and went out and got it for us in record time! Nikki was very professional, always available to answer our questions & very knowledgeable of the current market. She definitely went above & beyond her line of duty to make sure that we were always kept in the loop, so that we knew exactly what was going on. We can’t wait to work with Nikki again when the time comes for us to buy another house. -Lee and Stacy S

David H. -- Dec 2019

I wanted to take a quick moment to let you know how satisfying it was working with you on the sale of my home in Cave Creek.  You and your team showed commitment to the process by establishing a recurring open house, professional staging and constant communication with me.  It is obvious to me you are knowledgeable of the market and the consumers in it and with your guidance I was able to secure a sale quickly once the home re-entered the market after a frustrating 9 months with another broker.  In that prior period I had only a handful of visits, and no offers, I recognized that the agent definitely makes a difference.  Thank you for your efforts and please know I am recommending you to anyone in need of real estate services.   Best regards David H.

Orin W. -- Dec 2019

We began to know about Ana Marie and Carlene (The Rigo Team) from a previous property they listed and efficiently sold in Casa De Cielo. To be candid, we have first hand knowledge of The Rigo Team skill set–whereby in our opinion, they are exceptional to other Realtors.  It’s important to note that we have transacted in six prior properties before working with Ana Marie and Carlene–within this context, their articulation sets the tone from the onset– without question you sense strong reliability and seasoned effectiveness. In conclusion, The Rigo Team operates at a high character rating–we clearly recommend them. Orin W.
