What do Clients Say?

From Kyle & Stacey Hancock: We met Lois and Larry when they brought a buyer to our FSBO. Although they were the buyer’s agent, they were balanced in their approach to help ensure a fair deal for everyone. They made sure of an easy and honest transaction and were highly communicative through the entire process. Fast forward a few months, we found a truly unique property we were interested in and needed to move quickly on. We were out of town at the time but they were able to schedule a showing the moment we were available. An offer was made and after a small amount of back and forth, an offer was accepted. That’s when the work started. With the type of property (no comps or history to get backing from banks), it took some creative thinking and jumping through hoops to line something up. In the short amount of time we had, the Rubino Team ensured we stayed on track with commitments and helped guide us through somewhat unknown territory. They kept everything in line with the sellers, as well as helping guide the lender through the finer points of what it would take to get us financed on the property. ~30 crazy days later we had the keys and were excited to be homeowners again in a place that is unlike any other. After multiple experiences in Fountain Hills with unresponsive or dishonest agents in the past just looking for a cash grab, it was refreshing to meet agents that truly have the client’s interests at heart. Lois and Larry will work honest and hard for you, and will likely become new friends in the process like we have. Highly recommended!

From Bobbie Young & Ernie: We would like to thank you and Larry for all your help in getting us into our new home. You went way out of your way to see that purchasing the house we wanted went as smoothly as possible. I don't know of many realtors that would have gone to the extent you did. We really appreciate all the time and effort you took to get us here. We are truly enjoying the house and can't thank you enough. We highly recommend you, Lois and Larry, and will make sure we tell everyone we know about you.

Dear Larry and Lois, Brenda and I want to extend our sincere thanks for your efforts in previewing, marketing and selling our condo in Mesa. Your experience in the local markets helped us to establish an asking price that reflected current neighborhood trends. You had an aggressive marketing plan that resulted in multiple offers in a relatively short time span. Finally, your attention to detail(s) helped this transaction to move forward smoothly to an early close. There are many ways to measure success, but from a customer’s perspective, when results exceed expectations success has been achieved. Thank you for a very successful experience! We will happily recommend your services to family and friends when the opportunities arise. Very truly yours, Brenda Miller Michael McGovern

Great advertising team The Rubino West Team listed and sold my home in less than 60 days, and for very close to asking price. My home had been listed with another agent for over 18 months without an offer. It seemed like high-end homes like ours just weren’t moving. However, because of the Rubino West Team and their extensive online advertising and promotion, they found a buyer within just a little over two months…and they bought it for virtually the same price I had been listed with the other realtors. We used the Rubino West Team because we felt like they did more than any other agent had before them. Other agents seemed to just throw the home on the MLS and then they would disappear. Larry and his team updated us every week during the entire process. They did more advertising and promotion than anyone else in the area. After a short and easy meeting with Larry and Lois, we felt confident our home would sell. The results were proven and our home sold at the price we were looking for. — TERRY & JOHN HANDY, CLIENTS

About Larry

Born and raised in New Jersey, my wife and I moved to Fountain Hills, AZ in 2002.  Prior to that,  I was primarily a celebrity photographer for The New York Friars Club and a corporate event photographer for major pharmaceutical companies and airlines,  visiting the Valley often on assignment.  Lois, my wife, was teaching at the time and would join me when she could.  We fell in love with Fountain Hills in the early 80s and knew we’d make the move to AZ, it was just a matter of time. 

After moving, I began selling homes through my photography for real estate agents.  Working with the latest technology in cameras and computers, gives me the ability to take indoor photographs of homes that are so clear and detailed it is as if you were viewing them with the naked eye.        With encouragement from agents I worked with, I studied and got my license to sell real estate.  Recently,  I became Hyland Bay Certified in New Home Sales.

When I'm not helping my clients get the most value for their homes, I can be found enjoying my passion for photography.   After all, I have photographed many "A" list celebrities in their homes and on stage. Jerry Lewis, Chevy Chase, Richard Pryor and Robin Williams were some of my   favorites!

I take exceptional pride in offering complete, comprehensive, unique selling strategies to the residents of our beautiful Sonoran Desert communities on a full-time basis.  My commitment and dedication, combined with impeccable communication and hard work continue to pave the way to success for my clients. I am a full-time, dedicated agent serving the Metro-Phoenix, Scottsdale, Fountain Hills and Paradise Valley communities. 

Loyalty is one of those characteristics that holds a special place for me personally. My promise is to give you 100% of my ability, resources, skills, and expertise in return for your loyalty.  My ethics, values, honor, and pride remain the cornerstone for all of my personal and professional             accomplishments.

As your home selling  specialist, and as a part of DeLex Realty Scottsdale, one of the Arizona’s  leading real estate brokerages, I am 100%          committed to helping you achieve your real estate goals on a full-time basis. After all, selling or buying, one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever have to make is choosing the right  Real Estate Agent.
