Arizona New Construction Home Specialists

Building a new home in Arizona requires expert guidance, and I specialize in helping buyers navigate every phase, from choosing the right community and builder to evaluating incentives, upgrades, and long-term appreciation potential. With 15 years of combined real estate and financial planning experience, I help you secure the best pricing, incentives, and financing structure so your new build aligns with your long-term financial goals.

Expert Relocation Services for Out-of-State Buyers

Whether you're moving from California, Washington, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, or across the country, I provide a seamless relocation experience tailored to your lifestyle and financial goals. My process includes custom cost-of-living comparison reports, neighborhood matching, virtual tours, new-construction options, tax-strategy planning, and guidance on schools, HOAs, and commute times.

Military PCS Relocation Support

As a preferred real estate partner for USAA and Real Military, I provide dedicated PCS relocation support for service members and Veterans moving to or from Luke Air Force Base. We guide families through VA loan benefits, base commute times and new-construction options across Surprise, Litchfield Park, Peoria, Buckeye, and Goodyear. My streamlined PCS process ensures fast communication, trustworthy guidance, and a smooth transition into the right community.

Downsizing & Retirement Transition

Whether you're preparing for retirement or looking to simplify your lifestyle, I provide a guided downsizing process tailored to you. With a financial-planning background, I evaluate equity, compare keep-vs-sell scenarios, and identify the right single-level or low-maintenance home. With deep expertise in Arizona’s top 55+ and active-adult communities—Victory at Verrado, PebbleCreek, Trilogy at Vistancia, CantaMia—I ensure your next move aligns with your budget, lifestyle, and retirement plans.

Short-Term Rental & Vacation Rental Investment

I help investors evaluate short-term, mid-term, and long-term rental opportunities across the Greater Phoenix Metro. My approach includes STR revenue projections, occupancy modeling, tax-strategy planning, and community-specific STR regulation analysis to ensure your investment aligns with your financial goals. Whether you're buying a turnkey STR or converting a primary home into a vacation rental, I provide clear guidance backed by deep market knowledge and financial planning expertise.

Identify Homes Eligible for STR Conversion in Arizona

Not all Arizona communities allow short-term rentals—and identifying STR-friendly zones is essential for investors. I track HOA rules, city regulations, demand patterns, and hospitality-driven amenities to help buyers find properties in areas that support strong rental performance. With expertise in Scottsdale, Phoenix, Peoria, and West Valley resort-style communities, I guide you to homes with the highest potential for STR approval, cash flow, and long-term appreciation.

RECENT CLIENT WINS

Luxury Arizona estate in Peoria with 30kW owned solar panels, RV garage, multi-car garage, and desert landscaping—sold by Eric Ravenscroft, Top 1% REALTOR® in the Greater Phoenix Metro.

PEORIA, AZ | LUXURY ESTATE SALE | $1,550,000 ALL-CASH

This luxury estate in Peoria featured a 22-ft rolling glass wall, a $250K resort-style backyard, a massive 2,900+ sq. ft. RV garage, and a 30kW owned solar system providing zero electric bills. The sellers were long-time clients preparing to relocate back to the East Coast and needed a top-dollar sale despite two challenges: the home was one of the smaller properties in the neighborhood and backed to a busy road. Its energy efficiency, rare RV amenities, and high-end upgrades made it ideal for lifestyle-driven buyers seeking value and low long-term operating costs. The home attracted strong demand and ultimately closed all-cash at $1,550,000.


Targeted Marketing

25 private showings, all buyers vetted and pre-approved


Multiple offers, no seller concessions, strong interest even under contract

New construction Toll Brothers home in Sterling Grove, Surprise AZ with a modern exterior and paver driveway — sold by Eric Ravenscroft, Top 1% REALTOR® in the Greater Phoenix Metro.

SURPRISE, AZ | NEW CONSTRUCTION BUYER SUCCESS | UNDER MARKET VALUE IN STERLING GROVE

These buyers relocated from Texas to Surprise, AZ to be closer to their kids and grandkids, prioritizing lifestyle as much as the home itself. They chose Sterling Grove, one of Arizona’s premier gated, resort-style communities known for its championship golf course, parks, trails, and private country club. The goal: build a stylish, timeless Toll Brothers home without overspending. Through smart, intentional design-studio selections — including bold dark slate quartz counters — they achieved a high-end look while staying well under the typical $1M+ closing prices seen throughout the neighborhood.

 

This win shows how thoughtful planning, strategic design choices, and expert guidance can deliver significant value in high-demand, luxury new-construction communities. In Surprise, AZ — especially Sterling Grove — buyers can still achieve a premium lifestyle and beautiful home without exceeding budget when the build strategy is intentional from day one.

Historic brick home in Phoenix AZ with upgraded parking, gated side entrance, and multi-unit potential — sold by Eric Ravenscroft, Top 1% REALTOR® in the Greater Phoenix Metro.

PHOENIX, AZ | MULTI-UNIT PURCHASE | $3,300 RENTAL INCOME → $1,700 NET HOUSING COST

These buyers wanted to live in Scottsdale or North Phoenix, but rising prices made the monthly payments feel out of reach. To solve this, we pivoted to a multi-unit strategy, securing a property with a main unit for personal use plus two rentable spaces. Without major renovations or heavy investment, they created multiple income streams, allowing them to live in a prime location while dramatically reducing their monthly housing cost.

 

Multi-unit home with main residence + guest house + detached office

Guest house and detached office can lease for $3,300/month = Effective housing cost: $1,700/month (vs. $5,000 mortgage)


In competitive markets, multi-unit strategies can turn high-cost areas into financially viable opportunities. This win shows how income-producing solutions can reduce payment pressure, build equity faster, and unlock locations that most buyers assume are out of reach.

New construction home in a gated community in Surprise AZ with paver driveway and desert landscaping — sold by Eric Ravenscroft, Top 1% REALTOR® in the Greater Phoenix Metro.

SURPRISE, AZ | FIRST-TIME BUYER SUCCESS | INSTANT EQUITY + 4.25% RATE + FUTURE CASH FLOW

This first-time buyer in Surprise, AZ approached the process with a clear goal: secure a home with long-term upside, strong rental potential, and immediate financial leverage. We locked in a brand-new home in a gated, resort-style community, becoming only the second closing in the entire neighborhood.

 

Because we moved early and strategically, she secured pricing and incentives that are already outperforming the market. With a 4.25% fixed rate, closing costs paid, backyard landscaping included, and instant equity on day one, this home positions her not only as a homeowner but as a future investor ready to build wealth in the West Valley.

 

In the rapidly growing Surprise market, early-phase new construction remains one of the most reliable ways to secure equity, below-market pricing, and future cash-flow potential. This win shows how first-time buyers can use timing, incentives, and strategy to step into homeownership and position themselves for long-term investment success, even in a competitive market.

5-Star Reviews From Clients Across the Greater Phoenix Metro 

Kirstie Schotte

Eric was so helpful as we searched for a house. He worked with our timeline and his thoughtful suggestions and knowledge of the builders in the area helped make our decision easier. We highly recommend him if you are looking for a place to call home!

Bernie

Eric went above and beyond. He remembered our needs and our wants. For our timeline, he was able to get us to the right home while showing us other options. He did not pressure us in any way, and worked to get us into our new home with as few hurtles as possible.

John Furrow

Being a Realtor myself, I have high standards for anyone I hire. My wife has even tougher standards. We were trying to sell our investment home in Scottsdale (we live in Oregon) and needed to sell it fast in an historically slower moving market. We wanted an agent who would market our home aggressively and strategically, communicate regularly and have well established networks with local trades such as handymen, roofers, electricians, etc. We also wanted a Realtor with a great working network with other busy local agents. On all counts, Eric was a 10 out of 10! He thoroughly explained his marketing plan and backed it up. He has a system of communication which kept us up to date regularly, so we were never left wondering. Several times in the process, before listing and while in escrow, he had the right contractors out to save the day. An additional perk to our experience with Eric is that, while I at first thought his pricing was crazy, his knowledge and experience in the market proved correct and we netted much more on this sale than I thought was possible! Eric was always a straight shooter with us; honest, direct, clear and concise. He has earned and holds the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation which only comes with years of experience and education, and it all shows in his professional service. I would absolutely recommend Eric to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the Phoenix metro market!
