A loan is one piece of a much bigger move. Over 30 years I've learned that the professionals around the deal matter almost as much as the financing itself, and a bad one can cost you the whole thing. These are the people I send my own clients to, because they do the work right and they treat people the way I want my clients treated.
Breona Baridon is an Arizona REALTOR® dedicated to helping buyers and sellers make confident, informed real estate decisions.
A big part of Breona's approach is education. She believes clients should understand the process, the paperwork, the market, their options, and the "why" behind the decisions they're making, not just be told what to do. She takes the time to explain each step, answer questions, and make sure her clients feel prepared from the first conversation through closing.
Known for being straightforward, responsive, and hands-on, Breona advocates for her clients and works closely with the professionals involved in each transaction to keep things moving and address issues before they become bigger problems.
While she has strong knowledge of the Phoenix metro area and the West Valley, Breona helps clients throughout Arizona with buying, selling, relocation, VA purchases, investment properties, and more.
Her goal is simple: educate, advocate, communicate, and help her clients make the best decision for their situation.
Visit Breona's site →Adding an ADU is one of the strongest ways a homeowner can put their equity to work, whether it's for rental income, room for family, or long-term value.
Backyard Estates has been building ADUs across the Inland Empire and eastern LA County since 2020 (CSLB #1076065), handling design, permitting, and construction with one team instead of five contractors and a permit office you have to navigate yourself.
Pair that with a home equity loan or HELOC and a backyard turns into an asset. They'll walk your property first and give you an honest read on what's possible before you commit to anything.
