Welcome to Todd C Hurst – Your Trusted Real Estate Partner

At Todd C Hurst, we understand real estate is not only about a property—it’s about handling major life moments with confidence and care. Whether you’re searching for a place to call home, preparing to sell, or looking at investment options, the process can feel complicated. That’s why we take the time to guide you through each stage. As fiduciary agents, we put your best interests first. We clearly explain all available choices, outline their possible effects, and make sure you aren’t caught off guard by obstacles. Our mission is to give you the knowledge and support you need to make sound choices that match your personal situation. With us by your side, you’ll find the process more efficient and less stressful. We work to save you time, reduce unnecessary costs, and provide peace of mind as you move forward with your real estate goals.

Why the Right Agent Matters

Why the Right Agent Matters

Home prices move for many reasons—shaped by changing markets, the economy, and individual circumstances. No agent can control the market itself, but the right one can help you make the best of it. The wrong choice can cost you: overpricing or underpricing a property, passing up strong opportunities, or being stuck in a long, stressful process. At Todd C Hurst, our fiduciary agents are committed to protecting your goals through:

  • Guidance Every Step: We explain your options in plain terms, outline possible results, and make sure you understand risks before moving forward.
  • Putting Your Interests First: Our responsibility is to shield you from unexpected challenges and maintain transparency from start to finish.
  • Maximizing Value: By setting the right price, negotiating skillfully, and addressing issues quickly, we help you save money and time.

It’s important to note that our focus is on real estate guidance. We are not licensed as financial planners or attorneys. When specialized advice is needed, we connect you with qualified professionals who can cover those areas, so your transaction is fully supported from every angle.

Every real estate journey is unique, often tied to major life events. Below are real-world scenarios involving a 2,000-square-foot, 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom ranch-style home on a 12,000-square-foot lot. See how we can guide you through complex situations:

Scenario 1: Selling After Divorce

A couple, married for 5 years, faces divorce and can no longer afford their home’s mortgage or maintenance. They agree to sell and split the proceeds, but one used a $100,000 inheritance for the down payment, creating financial complexity. We’ll outline all options, explain the implications of each, and guide them through a fair, efficient sale, preventing costly oversights and ensuring both parties’ interests are protected.

Scenario 2: Selling an Inherited Home

Your parents owned this home for 30 years, fully paid off and held in a revocable living trust. After their passing, you and your sibling, as trustees, decide to sell to settle estate debts, taxes, and distribute the proceeds. We’ll present a clear plan for the sale, coordinate with estate requirements, and highlight potential pitfalls, ensuring a seamless process that avoids delays and costly errors.

Scenario 3: Navigating Probate Disagreements

Your parents owned this home for 30 years, nearly paid off, but passed away without a trust. The estate, valued over $300,000, requires probate (ARS 14-3971, updated 03/31/2025). You want to sell, but your sibling wants to keep the property, causing tension. We’ll lay out all options—selling, keeping, or buying out your sibling—explaining legal and financial repercussions, mediating disputes, and guiding you through probate to avoid prolonged and expensive legal battles.

Scenario 4: Relocating After a Layoff

Five years ago, you bought this home at the market’s peak. After a recent layoff with a 6-month severance package, you need to sell quickly to relocate for better job opportunities, despite a slight dip in prices. We’ll analyze market conditions, present pricing strategies, and highlight risks like underselling or prolonged listings, ensuring a swift sale that minimizes financial loss and keeps you on track.

Scenario 5: Buying in a Shifting Market

You’re relocating to this area for a home in a top school district, ideal for your child’s sports talent, and close to work and family. You’re financially ready with a strong down payment and good credit, but media reports about a declining market make you question if waiting for lower prices is better. We’ll provide a detailed market analysis, outline the pros and cons of buying now versus waiting, and ensure you’re not blindsided by market shifts, helping you secure the perfect home without overpaying.

Our fiduciary duty is to empower you with clear, comprehensive options, anticipate challenges, and guide you toward the best outcome, all while protecting you from costly surprises.
