🏡 The House-Hunting Party That Landed a Dream Home in Chandler (and $2,500 in Credits!)
Ben Graham
Ever wonder if buying a home in Chandler, AZ could actually be… fun?
Most people picture a stressful whirlwind of paperwork, pressure, and overpaying. But what if the process could feel like a celebration and land you an incredible deal?
Let me tell you about one unforgettable experience I had with a couple who turned their house hunt into a full-blown event — and walked away with way more than just keys.
The Problem Most Buyers Don’t See Coming
When you’re searching homes for sale in Chandler, AZ, most people rush in with two big challenges:
They try to navigate it alone or with the wrong agent.
They don’t negotiate — or worse, don’t even know what to ask for.
Just imagine spending hundreds of thousands and missing out on thousands in savings, repairs, or upgrades — all because no one was in your corner fighting for it.
The Power of Community (and the Right Realtor)
A couple years ago, I met a young couple through the Dave Ramsey Endorsed Local Provider (ELP) program. They took my Financial Peace University class and later hired me to help them buy a home.
Fast forward a few years… Their close friends — newly married and deeply rooted in their church community — were ready to buy their first home too.
Then something unexpected happened:
The wife broke her ankle rock climbing. Their honeymoon plans? Paused.
Their response?
“Let’s go house hunting!”
That’s right. Instead of jetting off to the beach, they hit the road with me — and about eight of their best friends.
Touring Homes with a Party Crew
Every showing felt like a mini-event. Laughter. Notepads. Rankings. Group debates.
Each friend gave feedback, making it clear — this wasn’t just about bedrooms and bathrooms.
It was about hospitality. Community. Hosting worship nights and backyard barbecues.
They weren’t just buying a house.
They were buying a lifestyle.
Local Insight + Strong Negotiation = Win
After seeing a dozen homes, one kept calling them back.
We wrote an offer $25,000 under asking.
I negotiated a full exterior repaint, even though the sellers weren’t planning on touching it.
My clients only asked for a $500 repair credit —
I got them $2,500 to use however they wanted.
They were stunned.
I wasn’t.
That’s the power of having someone on your side who knows how to ask the right questions and say the right things.
