Process

Step-by-Step Upsizing Process with Tackett Team

A clear framework helps you move from “we’ve outgrown this place” to keys‑in‑hand at your next Scottsdale address.

Step 1

Clarify What You Want in Your Next Home

  • List your must-haves like bedroom count, view, lot size and community style.
  • Create a secondary list of nice-to-haves to stay flexible.
  • Think in terms of lifestyle goals — family space, privacy, entertainment areas.
  • Discuss priorities with your agent early to narrow the search efficiently.
Step 2

Get Your Financing Lined Up Early

  • Secure pre-approval before touring homes to strengthen your buying position.
  • Work with a lender experienced in luxury and jumbo financing.
  • Ask for a clear breakdown of rates, terms and monthly comfort levels.
  • Use your pre-approval to negotiate confidently once you find the right property.
Step 3

Compare Neighborhoods Based on Lifestyle

  • Silverleaf: Privacy, golf, high-end estates and canyon views.
  • DC Ranch: Strong community feel, parks and family amenities.
  • Grayhawk: Golf access, convenience and excellent resale potential.
  • Windgate Ranch / McDowell Mountain Ranch: Spacious homes, casual luxury and scenic views.
Step 4

Search Smart and Make a Strong Offer

  • Ask your agent about off-market and pre-list opportunities in North Scottsdale.
  • Evaluate each home’s condition, HOA rules and long-term fit.
  • Present an offer that shows financial strength and clear intent.
  • Time your offer to match seller expectations and current market pace.
Step 5

Make the Move Feel Easier

  • Hire a luxury moving team familiar with high-end homes.
  • Plan furniture placement and service setup before closing day.
  • Update memberships (golf, club or community) ahead of your move.
  • Keep a checklist for closing-day logistics and early post-move organization.
