Whether it’s mountain views, an oasis in the desert, the bustling sounds in the heart of downtown, acreage with lush green pastures or you just want to buy dirt for a custom build that’s every bit you, or you’re dipping your toes into rental properties/investments… we want to be there for every single moment of your journey that gets you to your goal.
Our Owner/Founder Shawntel is proud to be your Arizona agent with RHP Real Estate! She started this expanded services company alongside her husband with a single mission in mind. Do better, be better. They wanted to disrupt the typical real estate agent approach by creating a collaborative environment rather than a cutthroat mentality. She wanted to focus on the client experience rather than on the number of completed transactions. With this approach, She can provide each client with top tier customer service and collaboration.
We are very invested and very connected to the local community – a wonderful asset to buyers, investors, and sellers alike. By starting GoodHouse Properties & Services, we are able to provide clients with service beyond the typical real estate transaction. When we partner with a new client, they aren’t just a client. They are a client for life. Heck, most of them become friends!
Our business is built on communication, dedication, and transparency. We have worked in new home builds, land development, utilities, tax credits, and contract management. When you’re looking to buy, sell, rent or manage your home from a different state, you need a partner/agent worthy of your trust. With this competitive housing market and everyone trying to cut corners, finding the right partner to work with can be a pain. Instead of settling for an partner who’s more interested the commission, try one that focuses on the client experience rather than the number of completed transactions. We treat every client we would our own family and that means we will fight for you just as hard. We couldn’t be more proud to be invested and very connected to the local community.
The relationship you build with us can carry through to most of your real estate needs! We don’t just plan to have an agent sell you a home or sell yours, we are genuinely interested in helping you beyond that!
Your goals are our priority, and we specialize in getting you the best result. To us, you’re more than a client - you’re a partner, and we’re in this together!
We appreciate all our law enforcement, emergency service, military, and healthcare clients. Ask us about how we give back to those who always put everyone else first!

WHY YOU SHOULD BE REPRESENTED BY A REAL ESTATE AGENT WHEN PURCHASING NEW CONSTRUCTION
Did you know that those builders that pay a co-broke fee, pay us, not the home buyer? There is nothing you need to pay for representation in these cases, its covered by the builder. When buying a new construction, the builder’s agent is a licensed real estate agent and will be ready to help you with the transaction. We know it seems like plug and play to sign up with the builder’s on-site agent, but you’re going to want someone representing your side of the deal. Someone who has your best interest in mind and someone who can help hold the builder accountable. The builder’s agent will always have the builder’s interest in mind. The job of the builder’s agent is to get the highest price for the homes. Although the builder’s agent is typically very knowledgeable about the construction, amenities, and community, having a real estate agent to represent you allows for us to be the liaison between you and the builder. Our job is to stay on top of the builder for regular updates, accompany you on your milestone walks, and ensure items are resolved before close of escrow. With our experience in new home building and mortgage lending, we have insider experience to help the process go as smooth as possible for you. We can help alleviate typical stress points that come with building a new home all at the cost of the builder. What do you have to lose?
IMPORTANT: We need be there on your first visit in order for them to accept us as your representative. Already have an appointment at a new community? Our agent can accompany you.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Above and Beyond - 5 stars
August 12, 2022
“Shawntel with HomeSmart/GoodHouse Properties & Services and her partner were wonderful to work with. They helped give advice on the market and what was best for our neighborhood in listing our home. We had top-notch service from them with easy communication, immediate callbacks, and listing photos of our home that made us almost not want to sell it. Needless to say, we followed their advice, and our home sold in just two hours before it even hit the market! Shawntel and April were very assertive in the offers that were made. They negotiated a very strong offer in our favor in which we received top dollar for our property. We had a wonderful experience, and we will use GoodHouse Properties & Services again in our future real estate transactions.”
Thank you, Shawntel & April, for all your hard work!

This is not the first time I have sold a house, but it was by far the easiest and most painless! She handled every aspect without me having to lift a finger. She even helped me get rid of some furniture i wasn't going to take with me. If you're selling your home, do it the easy way. List with Shawntel!

I felt like the only client! - 5 stars
August 19, 2022
I have known Shawntel for many years and know she has very high work ethics and always motivated to serve the clients best interest. Shawntel and April both were great to work with, and they made it feel like I was their only client. They went above and beyond my expectations through the entire process. They were very patient and helped me make the best decision for me when I was unsure or hesitant. When I finally closed they were right there by my side walking the house with the builder and even checking on many different aspects of the build I did not think about or consider. They provided the best possible service anyone could ask for and that is pretty hard to find today in the real estate market.
