The Jerri and Andy Szach Team - Testimonials

We have had a great experience selling our home with Jerri, she was always on top of things. We also bought a foreclosure through her and it always went great. I highly recommend Jerri and Andy. Sincerely Leahre & Pete

Jerri, Andy and Leah have taken care of all our real estate purchases and sales for well over 10 years, from a small condo for our son to homes in Pima Canyon - they have been consistently on target and equally importantly, have been able to talk us down from the ledge when the stress levels were  getting high! We could not be more satisfied - they have our highest recommendation.

Jerri and Sara were the best agents we've had the pleasure of working with. Knowledgeable, hard workers and always responsive to our concerns and needs.Response from Jerri & Andy Szach on 01/29/2016Such a pleasure working with you. What a delight to meet you both to at one of our open houses and assisting you in the sell of your property and finding your new dream home, and we wish you many enjoyable years.

I am a first time homebuyer and Leah and Jerri were wonderful. They guided me through the entire process and were always available to answer any questions I had. Leah was always a phone call away and sometimes it seemed as though she never slept. Jerri is an expert with the local market. I was  advised on every aspect of the home buying experience. Leah was always excited to view properties with me, and trust me we viewed many properties. She was so much fun to work with. When I finally found the home of my dreams Leah was a master negotiator and made sure that I received everything and more in my transaction. I would highly recommend the Jerri & Andy Szach Team. I even referred my sister to them for the listing of her short sale property. If I ever decided to sell or purchase another property, I will be contacting them. They truly treated me like family.

The sale of our home and concurrent purchase of our new home could not have gone smoother. I felt very confident in trusting Jerri and Leah Burke's expertise from our first meeting that we signed a contract that same evening. As anyone who has ever moved knows, the whole process is daunting. I was  very impressed with the care Jerri and Leah took not only with me, but also my two children and our pets. Leah even picked us up when my car broke down so we could still look for a new home. She really was available 24/7. Leah was a professional liaison between our buyer and myself. Andy did a second review of our previous home to maximize our selling price. They also gave us solid references for competent repair companies. I can't say enough how appreciative I am to Jerri, Andy, and Leah. I would recommend their team wholeheartedly.

We met Jerri on a whim when we called her to look at a beautiful million dollar home on the east side of town. We immediately hit it off, and even though we weren't ready to buy right away, she didn't hesitate to offer to show us homes wherever and whenever we liked. Jerri and Andy helped us  throughout the process of buying a new home, and then selling one later. Both were extremely knowledgable in every detail of home buying/selling. We became friends and still rely on them to give us advice or recommend professionals when we need help with our beautiful home. Thanks Jerri and Andy and the entire Szach team! 

Indigo Crest Pass, Vail AZ 85641Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2015 in Vail, AZ.We initially met Jerri and Andy Szach when they were the realtor team on a home we sold. We were so impressed that we contacted them when we were ready to buy again. This is the second time we have bought a home with Jerri and Andy Szach and we were as pleased this time as the first. Their local  area knowledge, business acumen, and expertise is superior. We felt informed and ahead of the process the entire way. We recommend Jerri and Andy to all of our friends and will definitely reach out to them when we buy or sell.

Primary point of contact: Leah BurkeI dealt mostly with Leah Burke and Jerri. They were by by far the most helpful realtors I've ever used. My house needed some work done to prepare it to list. Due to family emergencies I had to spend alot of time out of town, but Jerri and Leah went above and beyond whaat I'd expect to get the job  done. Oh, and by the way, my house sold quickly and for about 10% above listing price!

Jerri's and Andy's team offers the best real estate sales and support in the Tucson area. They have represented me during the purchase and sale of my homes for over 20 years. They are very professional, conduct extensive sales research to ensure the best transaction pricing and represented my best  interests at all times

so far so good, Leah their agent has been compiling list after list of properties for my viewing. As an investor sometimes agents will blow you off thinking you are not serious because you have not made an offer. But filtering through the masses to find the right deal takes time. They have been  doing great so far, Negotiating has not come into the picture yet, so I will just give them a satisfactory until I know more. WB Managing Member 805 Group Investment, LLC

Smooth Sailing throughout the Entire Process ? Jerri was able to meet me @ the property within 15 minutes of my initial call...Amazing! She freely shared names & contact information for all service+ renovation providers! We had a Great Experience....Jerri & Team are Efficient, Professional,  More Response from Jerri & Andy Szach on 07/09/2015Assisting you in purchasing your Tucson home was a pleasure! We look forward to seeing the finished project!

I'm extremely satisfied with the Jerri and Andy Szach Team. In 2013 Jerri listed and sold our home on Sabino Mountain. She also helped us find a perfect home in the Catalina Foothills which we bought. During both transactions, Jerri and her team were client focused, urgent with follow ups and  had excellent communication. Jerri is knowledgeable, demonstrates attention to detail and knows the Tucson market extremely well. Because of the exceptional job in 2013, we again reached out to Jerri and her team when we decided to sell our home and purchase another home in the foothills at the end of 2015. Once again, Jerri's abilities made all the difference. Our home sold in less than two weeks and we were able to purchase our new home and move in before the end of the year. Overall everything went smoothly and when there were a few challenges, Jerri and her team were on top of the resolution. My husband and I have high expectations and we were delighted with the way Jerri and her team cared for us. I highly recommend Jerri and as a matter of fact, we have referred several friends to her because we believe in her abilities, passion and client centered approach. When we decide to sell our home and purchase another (hopefully not for awhile as we're still unpacking) we will ONLY go to the Jerri and Andy Szach Team! Less Response from Jerri & Andy Szach on 02/23/2016It was such a pleasure working with you both! We are so pleased you found and now own your dream home for life. We are thrilled you love it. The style of your new home suits you both perfectly.Thank you for being wonderful clients.

Jerri and Andy sold us our first house in Tucson, which we were very pleased with. It provided us with exactly what we were looking for in both a home and a neighborhood. They then helped us sell it at top dollar when we moved out of town. Both of these transactions went very smoothly due to their  diligence and professionalism. Recently, when we decided to move back to Tucson, Jerri and Andy once again helped us to find exactly what we were looking for and then expedited the paperwork so we could close the deal quickly and without any problems. I would highly recommend Andy and Jerri to anyone who needs to find a home in Tucson Arizona. You will be very satisfied with their representation!

Jerri was recommended to us by friends who purchased a home in Tucson. Like our friends we first came to Tucson to look to purchase a home, but then on the last day decided it would be better if we built our own home. Jerri listened to what we wanted - she constantly asked questions as to what we  thought our home should look like - and in response found us the perfect lot. Jerri and Andy then recommended builders and architects to talk to. Even though we purchased the lot her interaction in helping us did not stop - she continues to call and ask how the house is progressing and continues to answer questions we have about Tucson and the area. We highly recommend Jerri & Andy Szach - and hope when we move to Tucson to become close friends!

Working with Jerri and Leah Burke was a pleasure. They were very helpful navigating through all the questions and issues that came up while purchasing my new home. They were available to meet with the inspectors at the house and raise questions that I would not have thought off. I would  definitely recommend them and will love to do business with them again.

They went above and beyond just selling a house. They made time for us, did not pressure us, nor talk down if we did not understand something. The Szach team was knowledgeable about construction too, so while negotiating they understood what was worth fighting for. We liked the flexibility of  times to meet and see houses, sometimes on short notice. We are very happy with our first home and thankful for the Szach team for getting us there.

I worked with Jerri Szach in selling my existing home and in purchasing a new home. I have known Jerri and Andy for sometime and there was no one else I would have selected to help me through these major decisions in my life. Jerri and her team were absolutely amazing. Their professionalism came  through time and time again. Jerri was always available to answer any questions or concerns that I had and if she was busy Kelly was there for me. Her knowledge of Tucson and the various contractors that I would need was invaluable on this journey. They were available on short notice because of their connection to Jerri and Andy. I simply do not know what I would have done without their support. I have bought and sold eight houses with a variety of realtors. Without a doubt Jerri ranks at the top of my least and I highly recommend her.

It was an amazing experience working with Jerri Szach and Leah Burke. Their expertise and professionalism had a huge impact on my home buying experience. I found the perfect home for my son and I. I had a lot of questions along the way and I never waited more than 10 minutes for a response. We  dealt with some difficult sellers and Jerri and Leah held the line and we got the house with everything we wanted and at a great price. 

We first became acquainted with Andy Szach in the min ninetys. While our son was looking for a condo Andy became his realtor. He was able to get Tobin a 1400 sq. ft. condo for around $30.00 a sq. ft. . Andy made the transition go smoothly. Then in 2007 Jerri spent alot of time looking for a house  that would work for my disabled brother. We found one but the bathroom would need to be made into a handicap bath. Jerri had someone that could this for us, but my offer was turned down and we stopped looking at this time. Thenin 2011 we decided to buy two houses, along with our son, close together. We had looking for a long time. We finally found two houses in Sycamore Park, south of the Voyager R.V. park on the same street. It is a lovely area. One home had mold and Jerri found us someone to remove the mold an repair the area. She is so knowledgeable in all areas of real estate and can get reliable help so everything is fixed when you move in. She has so much patience and worked with us a long time, we felt like we had become family. Thank Jerri, Carol and Bill

Absolutley wonderful people to deal with. LIstened to what we wanted, worked with us and found us a home we fell in love with in exactly the area we wanted. They made the whole process easy and simple by handling all the details for us with professionalism, enthussiasm and skill. Communication  was excellant with rapid responses anytime we had a question and the efforts on their parts to keep us in the loop throughout the whole process was nothing less than superb. Negotians were simple, direct and painless. We would not hesitate to deal with Jerri & Andy if the need arises again, and will enthusiatically recommend them to any of our friends who might be in need of expert, enthusiastic and friend realestate professional!!

Jerri & Any Szach have sold 2 properties for us in the past 2 years. They are, without a doubt, the best realators we have EVER worked with. Even in a "down" market...they sold our homes quickly and seemingly effortlessly. In truth, there was nothing "easy" about all the effort and hard work they  put into the sales. They worked hard and did a fantastic job! It was truly a pleasure to work with Jerri & Andy and their staff. We are grateful to everything they did to make our sales possible and pleasant.

My wife and are in the process of exploring areas we may wish to retire to, and Tucson, AZ is on the list. We contacted Jerri Zach advising her that we were not in the market to buy yet, but wanted to learn more about the Tucson area in general, and particularly the housing market/options there.  More Response from Jerri & Andy Szach on 09/04/2013Thank you for such kind words! Showing and sharing my knowledge of Tucson, the surrounding areas and the market was my pleasure! It is one of my passions! Should Tucson be your retirement destination I would be honored to assist in the quest for the perfect home! Best of luck to you both and keep me informed on where the path to retirement leads you! Best Regards, Jerri

My sale went from conventional purchase to a short sale and 6 months, 3 weeks later I finally closed. Jerri stayed in my corner and fought on my behalf throughout the entire process. She was transparent, honest and kept me patient. She was right; it finally happened and with her expertise and experience, it ended up being a positive purchase.

I had a excellent home selling experience with Jerri Szach as my agent. She is as nice as her smile appears and as sharp as a razor in her field as a real estate agent with Long Realty Tucson. With her many years knowledge of the Tucson area she was able to sell my home within a afew weeks after  listing it. I was most satisfied with the smooth selling transaction provided by her and her team. She earned my respect as a business woman as she kept me in the loop and always returned my phone calls the same day.

Local knowledge:Process expertise:Responsiveness:Negotiation skills:I needed to sell my mother's home quickly as we had moved her into assisted living. I live in TN and my mother is in Tucson. Jerri helped me find a painter, carpet cleaner, roofer and air conditioning person in a timely manner to make sure the house was ready for sale. She has professionals to  help you with all parts of the transaction which is key to the success of the sale. We had 4 offers on the home and closed within two months. Her team provided timely updates on showings and accurate assessment of market conditions. I am a very picky seller as I am a REALTOR in another state and so I can tell you SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST YOU WILL FIND IN ANY AREA OF TUCSON as I know what a good agent is

As consummate picky home buyers, my husband and I are forever grateful to Jerri and Andy for their patience and perseverance in finding us the perfect home. Jerri's negotiation skills and knowledge of the Tucson housing market are what make her a successful broker and her patience, integrity and  dedication are what make her the broker you will want to work with. Andy's expertise was invaluable in helping us weigh the pros and cons of each house. During the early stages of negotiations, Jerri went so far as to bring in a roofer, plumber and electrician when we raised concerns. Upon closing, she successfully negotiated a price well below the asking price. In addition, after the closing, Jerri and Andy still remain available to answer any questions we may have, whether it be about finding tradesmen or asking for restaurant recommendations. As a team, Jerri and Andy made our quest for our dream home a thoroughly rewarding experience.

Local knowledge:Process expertise:Responsiveness:Negotiation skills:The Szach team is awesome! They did a great job for me, very thoughtful and thorough throughout the entire process. Highly recommend them to anyone shopping for home!

Jerri is very positive and enthusiastic in her approach to representing her clients in buying and selling real estate. She anticipates the steps that need to be taken and is very timely in executing them. My husband and I found her to be very honest and trustworthy in all of her remarks and  actions. My husband and I without hesitation would strongly recommend Jerri and Andy for your real estate needs. 

In one word: phenomenal!You know the old maxim: "20% of real estate agents, do 80% of the business." Jerri is the 1% that beats the tail off of the top 20%, and after meeting her you quickly understand why.Jerri is one of those rare individuals in the real estate industry  that brings with her a deep knowledge of the market and its movements, the patience and listening skills to understand your unique needs, a positive attitude, and some seriously high energy to get things done.I wasn't an easy buyer by any stretch of the imagination and I wasn't one of her multi-million dollar listings. I was a peon in the scheme of her business. Yet, she and her team treated me as if finding my family the right home was their only mission. You CAN NOT go wrong here!

Jerri is very professional and knows her market. This is the 3rd house that we have used her experience for selling a current home and finding a new one. She is 100% committed to her clients and is always accessible by phone or text messages. She is a skillful negotiator and I always felt she had  our best interest in mind. I would highly recommend her. Also our house was under contract in less than a week!!

We've known Jerri and Andy for many years as two great people. They helped my Mom buy a house when she moved here in 2004 and then helped us sell it in 2006 due to health issues. Most recently, Jerri and Andy REALLY earned their money trying to find us a home in Vail. We put bids on three different  short sale houses. We finally landed the 3rd house but Jerri really earned her commission with all of the time she put into it on our behalf. It is such a frustrating process but Jerri is masterful and helping her clients (and selling agent!) down off the "just forget the whole thing!" ledge. We have a 14 year old and a 10 year old and they always looked forward to looking at houses with Jerri. They adore her and I don't think it was just for the food she'd be sure to have for them each time she picked us up. :) We are now enjoying our beautiful home with more space and an acre of land in Vail and couldn't be more thankful to Jerri and Andy for all of their patience, help, and knowledge throughout the 7 months we worked with them. We won't hesitate to have them sell our first home if we ever decide to sell it. Thank you Jerri and Andy!!!! -Karl and Missy Blair

They sold our home quickly, within 45 days, in a tough market. And, when we were ready, Jerri helped us find & secure the home we were dreaming of. The team provided great personal service. We would highly recommend their service to friends and family.

Jerri brings a lot of negotiation skills and real estate experience into every transaction. My family has used her a number of times over the past 10 years and in every case we have had an excellent experience with her.

We've known Jerri and Andy for 13 years and have worked with them for the purchase and sale of three houses. They are hardworking, resourceful, responsive, always upbeat and friendly, and incredibly knowlegeable about the area. They were also very sensitive about difficult family issues and  circumstances related to the transactions (death and divorce). I'm looking forward to working with them on my next purchase and sale!

The chances of finding a more professional, courteous, and hardworking real estate team are slim to none. These folks really know their stuff. Just a little background on our process: our family is Active Duty military, my wife is currently Active duty, but stationed in North Carolina, and I am  also, but I'm stationed in Arizona. The Szach team streamlined what I thought would be a harrowing process due to distance, they even "FaceTimed" us different properties when we were unable to attend. Extremely flexible and patient. There is no rush here! When dealing with an industry as volatile as Real estate, flexibility is an absolute must. If you are having any doubts or reservations about bringing your business to these fine folks, I aim to alleviate those. Excellent all around, I will not hesitate to utilize them in the future.

Thanks again for the detailed attention you and your team have given us during our home buying experience. You provided clear and timely communication each step of the way, brought forth other professionals to assist with coordinating a smooth transition between former owners and new owners,  coordinated acquisition of merchandise from former owners, was knowledgeable about the Robson and Dove Mountain communities, as well as Tucson in general. The information provided painted a wonderful picture of Tucson from a Community perspective.Jerri we really appreciated the 2 days you spent with us touring potential properties. It was like an episode of HGTV House Hunters! You selected a wide range of properties for us and helped us narrow it down to one we feel will be a home for those times we spend in Tucson.Warm Regards, Tim and Ann

I worked with a fairly new associate for the Szach team (Leah Burke). She was very fun to work with. It was my first time buying a house and since she was fairly new to the process, I felt like we learned a lot from each other. She was always willing to show me different houses and helped me  learn what I really wanted in a house. She also was able to contact Jerri (who has years of experience) with any questions at all hours of the day! My house buying was a long process but in the end I am grateful for the Szach team because I truly bought the house that was best for me. They were always willing to work around my schedule and had a lot of local contacts (mortgage and title people) to help make the process smooth for a new home buyer.

Jerri and Andy sold a home of mine then found me another in a very short period of time. They are personable, knowledgeable and go way beyond all requirements to make sure the client is happy. They are outstanding!

Primary point of contact: Leah BurkeWorking with the Szach team and Leah Burke specifically made buying my home seamless. She was always available by phone, text and email; night or weekends! She really took the time to understand what we were looking for and really took the time to explain the details to us in a way that made  sense to us. I would highly recommend Leah Burke to any buyer or seller!!!

Disclaimer: Jerri Szach and Leah Burke were my realtors, I don't have any direct experience with with Andy.After deciding to buy a house I contacted Jerri to help me make my first home purchase. Jerri and Leah spoke with me over the phone to get some basic wants and needs for the house  and did a ton a research in all the areas I was interested. We met in person a few days later and they showed me a TON of listings on paper. This gave me a lot of options to review and we narrowed down the list to 10 or 12 likely candidates.After a long day of looking at houses, the last one I looked at seemed to be the right one. This is where Jerri and Leah's insight really helped me out. I am a naturally hesitant person but they convinced me to move quickly if I wanted the house. They didn't pressure me in any way but laid out the positives and negatives of waiting to act. Ultimately I decided to make and offer which was accepted.Once that happened, Jerri and Leah took care of everything. All I had to do was show up and sign (and pay)Throughout this entire process, Jerri and Leah were super friendly and helpful. They have continued to support me throughout the initial months of ownership. If I am every buying again, I will definitely be giving them a call (and you should too)!

Jerri Zack and her team are absolutely superb in every aspect in what they do. Jerri made the process of selling my mother's home extremely easy as well as making all of us feel that we were special clients. As we got to know Jerri on a more personal level we felt that she was part of our family.  Jerri's photographer was the best we have ever seen. Both my husband and I wish our realtor that sold our home in Houston six years ago would have had a fraction of the knowledge and expertise that Jerri has. On behalf of my mother Irene Berenberg, myself and my husband John we are so grateful to have had Jerri as our realtor.Sincerely, Christine and John
