Tucson Realtors - Kai Associates

A home is more than a dwelling, it is more than bricks and walls and paint. Your home is where you live and grow and share memories with loved ones. We understand that the choices you make when buying or selling a home are not choices you make lightly. When it is time to purchase or sell your next home, I would consider it an honor if you gave us 10% of your trust and let us earn the rest.

How many real estate agents do you know? Most people even have one in the family. How do you select a Realtor® to protect one of your most important investments, your home?

One of the many ways is to determine their qualifications. All Realtors® go through the basic training class. However, few continue their education once they receive their license.

Do you ever wonder what all the letters after a name refer to and what all the hoopla is about? More importantly, how do they affect you? The letters stand for days and days of classroom time followed by comprehensive exams with most having a past performance record of sales.

By using someone with a lot of letters following their name, you are almost guaranteed someone with years of experience, educational hours of the latest ways to help clients in this every changing market, and someone who is a full-time Realtor®.

Most importantly, it does not cost you more to hire a Realtor® who has spent hours in the classroom, if fact, we will probably save you money and time!

Diana Kai is a qualified and current member of the following associations:
