If Railroad Springs was a Netflix Series, it Would Be...

It would be Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Railroad Springs is a highly desirable area for first-time homeowners made up of mostly manufactured homes but also includes a few townhome sites built between 2000-2016. Its location to I40, the airport, and NAU make it desirable for easy access to most areas in town.

If Railroad Springs was a Star Wars Character, it Would Be….

I think it would be Wicket W. Warrick, everyone’s favorite Ewok. It’s adorned in the trees, on the smaller side, but fierce in it’s sense of community. It’s adorable and greatly underestimated. Just like Wicket.

If Railroad Springs was a cast iron recipe, it would be...

It would be Fried Chicken.

If Railroad Springs was a band, it would be…

It would be The Grateful Dead. The train runs behind Ralroad Springs so if you wanted to be a train hopper you could do it from there and I feel a lot of train hoppers listen to The Dead.

If Railroad Springs was a dog, it would be…

It would be a Basset hound.

FLAGSTAFF WEATHER

Weather

With four distinct seasons, Flagstaff’s weather offers something for everyone. Warm and bright sunshine in the summer, chilly mornings with colorful aspens in the fall, snow with freezing temperatures in the winter, and a mix of everything in the spring. The average high in the summer is 80ºF and a low of 53ºF. During the cold season of late November to early March, the average daily high is below 49ºF. The hottest month is July and the coldest month is December. Flagstaff’s mountain elevation does bring summer monsoon storms that keep the trails in great shape and the hot days to a minimum.

Market Trends

Flagstaff has historically had a market based on high demand and low inventory. This creates a seller’s market, with buyers scooping up Flagstaff homes quickly as they come on the market. In the past 20 years, home prices have increased in Arizona by an average rate of 4.15%. In 2021 – they doubled! Although new homes are being built in Flagstaff and surrounding communities like Bellemont and Kachina Village, we expect it to continue to be a seller's market for years to come.

Our Community

Flagstaff is a tightly knit community that offers small-town vibes with all the city amenities you need. With its bustling downtown life, numerous mountain adventures and active Northern Arizona University campus, Flagstaff is home to a diverse community. Weekly summer farmer’s markets, art walks, theater happenings, local breweries, shopping and restaurants are all within walking distance of Downtown Flagstaff. There are seven national parks and monuments within 80 miles of Flagstaff, including Walnut National Monument and the Grand Canyon. With Sedona’s unique landscape just 45 minutes to the south and Snowbowl Ski Resort just 30 minutes to the north, Flagstaff is an outdoor lovers’ paradise.

"Jessica and the team were tremendous to work with. They made the process of selling our home simple and fluid. I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a knowledgeable team that knows the market."

– CHELSEA M.

"I have worked with many real estate brokers and agents on several real estate transact ions over the years and can say with confidence that Arin is the best agent. Arin has the qualities that make her an extremely successful and effective broker. I can’t say enough about her professionalism and knowledge within the industry. She has high integrity and is very conscientious and tenacious, always keeping the client’s best interests in mind. Our real estate sale was extremely complicated due to the advanced ages of my Uncle and Aunt. Her empathy and focus was instrumental in executing the transfer of ownership. One of the qualities I respected the most was her willingness to roll up her sleeves and get the job done."

–George A. McGuire

"I usually don't do reviews, but Kelly has done such an outstanding job for me for several years now. I bought my first property with Kelly in 2005. She was patient and professional. She took the time to show me several properties at various price points in several areas. Once I found "the one", we wrote up an offer immediately. I still own that home and have since bought 4 additional properties with Kelly. I sold one of those with Kelly. We got the price I wanted. I will use Kelly any time I wish to do business in Flagstaff!"

– MADELINE S.

"When we were relocating to Flagstaff , it was suggested that we contact Kelly Kasprzyk and we were so fortunate to have her as our real estate agent. Kelly is not only energetic and a joy to work with, she worked tirelessly and patiently to help us find the perfect Flagstaff home for our specific needs in this new locale. She not only knows this market and details of all neighborhoods in Flag, she was also extremely helpful during all parts of the process with offering through closure and then our move in. We couldn't be happier with the results."

– PENNY D.

"We had a wonderful experience buying our home with Tad Moore. He is patient and full of knowledge. He guides us through the process and helped us make some very tough negotiations. We felt lucky to have him our corner and fighting for us. Best experience by far in purchasing a home and this will be our third. I highly recommend Tad to anyone buying a home, he is a fantastic agent!!! He will go the extra mile and then some!"

– MELISSA M.

"Tad is a dream to work with. He bears the perfect balance of personality and professionalism. Additionally, he brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table and never makes you feel like a burden when you have a lot of questions. His instincts are spot on, and he puts a lot of time and effort into getting to know his clients likes and dislikes so he can guide them to their dream home. I highly recommend him!"

– JAMIE D.

"We can't even begin to explain how wonderful [Best Flagstaff Homes Realty] has been! The moment we met Sara and Jessica, and later Eric, we were beyond impressed. The team's communication and hard work ethic is unmatched. and I strongly believe their " Team Concept" is one of the reasons why this particular realty group is and will continue to be so successful. We honestly can't say enough good things about Sara, Jessica and Eric because truthfully, they went way above our expectations, and we are so incredibly grateful!"

– JAN & MITCH U.

"Eric Davis was recommended by a friend who had had a good experience with him. He was very patient with us over a long period of time always easy to reach and prompt in returning our calls. We never felt like he was just trying to "make a sale" but was looking for the right home for us, and indeed, he found that home. Would recommend him highly."

– BILL & ROZ N.

"I love working with Jessica! She was there for me when I first bought my home and when I sold it to relocate. Both Jessica and Eric were great and available to help me when I needed it and I felt supported, especially during the selling process. They took something that was very scary for me and made it such an easy and painless process. I continue to recommend them to my friends in the area and highly recommend them to anyone reading this."

– JOSE RAMOS GARCIA

"Working with Jessica and Eric were extremely helpful in helping me get the perfect house. I always felt they were working for me and not just out to make a sale. Jessica returned my calls promptly and arranged viewings quickly, which is important in the Flagstaff market. I would recommend them to anyone needing help finding a home."

– CINDY S.

"Let’s put it this way: I would not buy or sell a home without Marian Armstrong. Best realtor in Flagstaff. She loves and knows Flagstaff like nobody else, she’s ridiculously savvy about helping you find the perfect fit, expertly guiding you through the maze of home buying and selling. That expertise is even more essential now than ever. She takes the time to get to know her clients and goes above and beyond for each and every one of them. If I could give her 6 stars I would! I’ve also had the pleasure of collaborating with her colleagues at Best Flagstaff Homes and can tell you that they are an amazing, fun group with a wealth of local knowledge. A great resource in our town."

– KRISTEN I.

"Can’t say enough good things about Jessica Garard and the team at Best Flagstaff Homes Realty... As Flagstaff natives, nobody knows the town and the market better. Jessica is professional, down to earth, accessible and so easy to communicate with. She helped us key in on our favorite neighborhoods and then navigate an extremely competitive sellers market. Through her network, we were able to get a first opportunity and capitalize on an amazing house with forest access. Jessica coached us every step of the way from making an offer, getting under contract, navigating inspections and then closing. She had professionals at her fingertips for every need that arose."

– SCOTT A.

"Eric Davis is an *amazing* agent. He walked us around a bunch of properties virtually before we arrived in town, and then helped us get a fantastic home that we love (not an easy task in this insane market). And what's more, he's been there every step of the way to help us find local handymen, remodelers, etc. He knows pretty much everyone in Flagstaff, and he's more than happy to help out. Also, to boot, he's one of the nicest people we've ever met. Can't recommend him and his agency highly enough."

– ALEXANDER S.

"I loved working with Kelly Kasprzyk on our home sale. She is well-connected with the community and generous with her referrals to professionals to help us get ready. She was a great educator about the process of buying/selling in Flagstaff. Would highly recommend!"

– MICHELLE G.

"Marian Armstrong is amazing. She goes so far above and beyond she is in another galaxy from other agents. She is professional and yet exudes a warmth that makes you wish your deal wouldn’t close so you could spend more time with her. I recommend her to all my close friends as I know she will take good care of them."

– KRISTINA W.

"Tad was awesome to work with! His knowledge of Flagstaff real estate and insight on the market proved to be invaluable in navigating a very competitive market. He was also extremely helpful and detailed in pointing out features/sharing his perspectives during our video showings which made us feel comfortable when we ultimately made an offer...which was accepted (woot- thanks, Tad!)! We just closed on our house & Tad is going above & beyond expectations by continuing to assist us with some logistical coordination w/local utilities as we are currently out of state. We highly recommend Tad!"

– ALLISON G.

"Jessica and her team are amazing. She is an excellent communicator, responds quickly and she knows how to get a deal done. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate."

– NICK S.

"Sara was very professional, personable, a good listener, and extremely responsive. She turned what could have easily been a stressful and frustrating endeavor into a pleasurable experience."

– ANDY R.

"We bought our first home with Sara at Elite Team, the whole experience was wonderful so naturally we returned to her for the purchase of our second home. She couldn’t have done a better job for us! It all fell together so seamlessly because of Sara’s hard work. She found us a house that checked all our boxes plus some! It’s a home for our family. A sanctuary. We are so thankful for her knowledge and her determination to find us an incredible forever home. Thank you Sara and Elite Team for the dedication you show all your clients and this community!"

– AMETHYST D.

"We recently purchased our home with the assistance of agent Kelly Kasprzyk and we couldn’t imagine having done it without her. We were first time home buyers and her experience and professionalism was crucial in closing our deal. If you are looking for an agent that will go above and beyond, you need to give Kelly a call. Kelly, thank you so much for all you have done for us!"

– DANIEL S.
