Sharon has done a great job getting to know us, learning what we want, and being our eyes and ears on the ground. We currently are in the home stretch of buying a home from long distance that we have not even seen in person based on her assessment. That is how much we have come to trust Sharon. She also shined at negotiating a deal even though the Seller already had received a full-price cash offer. We could not have done this without Sharon and will not hesitate to recommend her to family and friends.read more

Sharon assisted my friend, Jan, in buying the perfect home in Sun City West while Jan was still living in Chicago. Sharon's communications skills were put to the test as all transactions were handled long distance. I served as the local contact for Sharon acting as an extra set of eyes in providing feedback to Jan regarding her purchase. Sharon listened to Jan's requirements and she never showed me a home that did not meet Jan's requirements. Sharon is hard working, very organized and is a great listener! She is a realtor that can handle any challenge.read more

Sharon was very helpful not only in finding us our future retirement home but also finding us a home that would produce some income for our short terms needs. Because we are real estate professionals ourselves we knew we would be comparing the service we would receive to the service we give our customers. Sharon exceeded those expectations by finding our new home within 1 week, handled all the closing details and set us up with professional home services. After our return to Minnesota she communicated with us to make sure that all the closing details were handled. Sharon's website was very easy to use to compare retirement communities so we could make an informed decision.read more

My wife and I decided to move from Southern California to a 55+ community in Arizona. We attempted to research the choices on our own using the internet and realized we needed expert advice. We found Sharon Rowlson's website and were impressed with the content she curated regarding the communities we were interested in. We chose Sharon as our real estate agent based on her expertise and apparent knowledge of the area. She proved to be the consummate professional. She dedicated long hours and patiently showed us the range of 55+ communities in the West Valley. Her insights regarding each community and their amenities greatly assisted us in our search. During the process of purchasing our home in PebbleCreek, Sharon expertly handled every aspect of the purchase transaction.

I believe someone looking to purchase a home in an active adult retirement community in the West Valley area would find it quite beneficial to work with Sharon Rowlson. We certainly felt very fortunate. Sharon was very knowledgeable about each retirement community. She worked patiently and effectively to help us determine which adult retirement community was right for us. She invested much time in educating us about the differences between the communities, helped us clarify what was important to us and allowed us to reach our own conclusions in a relaxed and supportive manner. Sharon is very kind, thorough and sincere. A buyer wants a realtor who is completely focused upon helping find the right home. Sharon excels at doing that.read more

We have now used Sharon twice as our Realtor. Initially representing my husband and me as buyers in our move to AZ from out of State and most recently representing my parents in the sale of their home. In both cases Sharon did an amazing job. She is very professional and knowledgeable in all aspects of the process. My parents, being in their 90’s required special attention through the process in managing showings and follow up on inspection repairs. She is a very personable and caring person and we highly recommend her for your Realtor needs.read more

My husband and I were fortunate to work with Sharon Rowlson throughout the process of purchasing our dream retirement home in Victory at Verrado. After reading the on-line reviews for Sharon, I spoke with her on the phone and felt an immediate connection. When we met Sharon in person, the connection continued and my husband and I intuitively knew we were in excellent hands. The reviews we read on-line were spot on. We are relocating from the East Coast so we were a bit apprehensive. Sharon is warm and friendly yet professional , knowledgeable, and very responsive. We would not hesitate to recommend Sharon for your buying or selling journey. She will guide you every step of the way and provide you with valuable guidance and information to help you make appropriate choices. We cannot thank her enough! Best of luck to you on your moving journey and fell confident that you have chosen Sharon Rowlson.read more
