Our full-service property management covers tenant screening and placement, rent collection and disbursement, lease drafting and renewals, monthly financial reporting, maintenance coordination, move-in/move-out inspections, and ongoing tenant communication. You collect income — we handle everything else.

In active markets like Scottsdale, Sedona, and Phoenix Metro, we typically place qualified tenants within 7–21 days of listing. We conduct thorough background, credit, and rental history checks on every applicant — speed matters, but so does quality.

Yes — STR management is a growing part of our portfolio, particularly in Sedona and Old Town Scottsdale. Arizona's STR regulations are significantly more favorable than California's. We help you structure, license, and manage a short-term rental from start to finish — including listing setup, guest communication, turnover, and monthly reporting.

Full-service property management in Arizona typically runs 8–10% of monthly collected rent. At Barré & Company, we structure fees based on property type, location, and portfolio size. Contact us for a custom quote — there's no obligation and no pressure.

Estate management is a higher-tier oversight service for clients with primary residences, vacation homes, or multiple properties that need a consistent, trusted on-the-ground representative. We manage vendors, coordinate maintenance, handle seasonal preparation, and serve as your single point of contact. If you travel frequently or own an Arizona property from out of state, estate management keeps everything running without you lifting a finger.

Both. We offer leasing-only services — tenant sourcing, screening, lease drafting, and placement — as a standalone service. We also offer full management where we handle everything ongoing after placement. Many owners start with leasing-only and transition to full management once they see the value.

Yes — we represent renters as well as landlords. If you're relocating to Arizona and need to lease before buying, or you're looking for an executive rental in Scottsdale, Sedona, or Phoenix, we can source options, negotiate terms, and get you into the right property quickly.

For cash flow: Cottonwood (~6.9% cap), Clarkdale (~7.1% cap), and Sierra Vista lead Arizona right now. For appreciation + STR: Old Town Scottsdale (+7.1% YoY, top STR demand) and Sedona (very low inventory, year-round STR demand) are strong. For long-term hold: Paradise Valley and North Scottsdale. For emerging value: Marana, Buckeye, and Prescott Valley.

Arizona cap rates vary significantly by market and property type. Verde Valley (Cottonwood, Clarkdale): 6.9–7.1%. Scottsdale STR / Old Town: 5.5–7%. Sedona STR: 5.5–7%. Phoenix Metro long-term rentals: 5–6.5%. Sierra Vista: best cap rates in Southern AZ. Tucson: 5–6.5%. Compare that to California's typical 2–3% — the difference is substantial.

Yes — Arizona has state-level preemption that protects STR rights, making it one of the most STR-friendly states in the country. While cities can impose some regulations (noise, safety, TPT licensing), outright bans are not permitted under Arizona law. This is a significant advantage over California, where STR regulations are often highly restrictive.

Tax savings are the #1 driver. Arizona has a flat 2.5% income tax vs California's up to 13.3% — on a $500K income that's roughly $53K back in your pocket every year. Combined with property costs 60–70% lower, cap rates of 4.5–7% (vs CA's 2–3%), favorable STR laws, and a 75-minute flight back to LA, Arizona makes a compelling financial and lifestyle case.

Yes — one firm, both sides. We manage the California listing and sale alongside your Arizona acquisition with coordinated timing. We provide a full tax savings analysis, advise on 1031 exchange opportunities, and can transition your new Arizona property into our management portfolio after closing. No dropped balls.

It depends on your lifestyle and priorities. Scottsdale / Paradise Valley — if you want the closest lifestyle match to Calabasas, Beverly Hills, or Newport Beach. Sedona — if you want nature, wellness, and a small-town feel. Prescott — if you want four seasons and historic character. Phoenix / Chandler / Gilbert — if you want urban amenities and employment access. We do a free market comparison based on where you're coming from and what matters most to you.

You generally need to spend more than 183 days per year in Arizona, obtain an AZ driver's license, register your vehicles in AZ, and update your voter registration. We always recommend working with a CPA familiar with multi-state taxation to ensure you establish residency correctly before year-end — the timing matters. We can refer you to trusted advisors.
