                Hey there, I'm APRIL

                the Buckeye, AZ REALTOR

                 

                Let me guess. You're wondering who this April person is and why you should trust her with the biggest financial decision of your life, right? Fair question! Here's my story: I've lived in Buckeye and Goodyear for 20 years. I raised four kids who joke they grew up on model homes and HGTV (guilty!). I've always wanted to be a realtor, but life kept me busy. Last year, my youngest got married, and I finally made it happen. Now all my kids are in the home buying phase, asking me about mortgages and down payments, and I realized this is exactly what I'm meant to do. Fun fact: before real estate, I built a product business called Smelly Car Jars from my kitchen table and got it into 500+ stores. I know how to market. I know how to hustle. And I know how to get results. What you need to know about working with me? I call it "Mama Bear Care." I'm protective, honest, and fast to respond. If I wouldn't let my own family make a bad decision, I'm definitely not letting you make one. You're in good hands.
