Working with an agent

A Note on Agent Relationships

Thank You
For Being Honest.

A note from Anne Sostman, The Scottsdale & Paradise Valley Agent

You let me know you are already working with a real estate agent. The right thing for me to do is respect that relationship completely. I will not be reaching out, and your information will not be used for sales contact. The resources on this site were built for homeowners and buyers without an existing agent — and that is the line I hold. You came here in good faith, and you deserve the same in return.

“Agent ethics are not a marketing position. They are the foundation of how a real estate market actually works. I will not interfere with another agent’s relationship — even when the lead is qualified, even when the data says I should. The long game is built on doing this right.”
— Anne Sostman | The Scottsdale Agent

Why This Line Matters

Your Existing Agent
Deserves the Relationship.

When you choose an agent, that relationship has value — and it is not mine to interrupt. Many agents in this market would treat your form submission as an opening to pursue you. I do not, because the integrity of the working relationships between agents and clients is what makes this market function for everyone.

The resources below remain open to you. They are public, free, and useful whether or not we ever work together. Share them with your agent if any of them help.

Read the Latest Market Update

No Outreach. Ever.
Your information will not be added to a follow-up sequence, will not be passed to another agent, and will not be used to start a conversation. You came here for a different reason and that is respected.
No Hidden Pitch
This page is not a soft sell. There is no script designed to convince you to switch agents. If your current agent is the right fit, stay with them. The Scottsdale and Paradise Valley markets work best when working relationships are respected.
Public Resources Stay Open
The market reports, seller’s guides, neighborhood guides, and frameworks on this site are public. No login. No email capture. Useful reading regardless of which agent you are working with.
If Things Change, So Does This
Agent relationships sometimes end. Property types change. Specialization matters more in a luxury submarket. If your situation ever changes, the line is open — but only when you decide to reach out.

If Your Situation Changes

The Line Stays Open
If Your Situation Changes.

Sometimes agent relationships end. Sometimes the property type changes. Sometimes the chemistry simply does not fit. None of that is anything to apologize for. If your situation ever changes and you find yourself looking for a specialist in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, or Arcadia — the line stays open.

1
No Pressure, No Outreach
You will not hear from me unless you reach out first. Your contact information is not used to start a conversation. If we ever speak, it will be because you decided you wanted to.
2
Direct Line When Ready
If you ever decide to reach out, the most direct path is the phone — 480.999.9945 — or schedule a 30-minute consultation. No intake form, no qualifying questions. The relationship starts with a conversation.
3
Referrals, Always Welcome
If you know someone else looking for a specialist in this market, the introduction is always welcome. The work is built around being helpful before transactional.

When the Time Is Right

The Line Stays Open.
No outreach. No follow-up. No pressure.

If your situation ever changes — your current agent retires, the property type changes, or you simply need a specialist in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, or Arcadia — the most direct path is the phone. The relationship starts with a conversation.
