What makes a Sun City realtor "the best"

Sun City is not a typical subdivision. It is the original Del Webb active adult community, opened in 1960, with roughly 27,000 homes, eight recreation centers and eight golf courses run by the Recreation Centers of Sun City (RCSC). Next door, Sun City West has its own association, its own fees and its own golf courses. A great agent here brings:

Community knowledge. Knowing the difference between RCSC and RCSCW, how annual assessments and one-time transfer fees work, and which home types carry separate HOA dues.
Floor plan and condition sense. Many homes date from the 1960s through the 1990s. Spotting roof, HVAC, plumbing and electrical issues early saves money and stress.
Clear communication. Many clients are relocating from out of state or helping a parent. Fast, plain-language updates matter.
Marketing to the right buyers. Sellers need listings that reach 55+ buyers, including people shopping from other states.
Patience and respect. A move here is often tied to retirement, downsizing, health or family changes. The best agents treat it that way.

Questions to ask any agent

Before you hire anyone, including us, ask:

How many homes have you helped buy or sell in Sun City and Sun City West?
Can you explain the current RCSC or RCSCW fees and who usually pays them?
How will you market my home to out-of-state buyers?
Who will I talk to day to day, and how quickly do you respond?
Can you give me names of recent clients I can call or reviews I can read?
What will you do if the inspection finds problems?

Good agents answer these confidently and specifically. If the answers are vague, keep looking.

How The Nixon Group works

Tim and Amy Nixon are a husband-and-wife team who have been in real estate since 1999. We focus on Sun City and Sun City West, and our office is at 15458 N 99th Ave in Sun City. Over the years we have also worked as mortgage lenders, in credit repair, flipping homes and managing rentals. That background helps us look at a home or a deal from more than one angle.

For buyers

We start with how you want to live: golf, clubs, quiet, close to family, or low maintenance.
We explain fees before you fall in love with a house, including the 2026 RCSC annual assessment of $680 per property and the $4,000 Preservation & Improvement Fee for Sun City purchases.
We tour Sun City and Sun City West, and nearby options like Corte Bella and Sun City Grand, so you can compare.
We guide you through inspections, negotiations and closing.

For sellers

We price your home from the right comparable sales, not a generic estimate. Start with a free home valuation.
We prepare and market the home to the buyers who actually buy here, with professional photos, floor plans and clear descriptions of the lifestyle.
We handle the resale disclosures and paperwork, and keep you informed through closing.
We regularly work with families handling estates and with sellers who have already moved away.

Read what clients say

The most honest measure of an agent is what past clients say. Read our reviews on Google and on our reviews page. Look for comments about communication, honesty and how the agent handled problems, not just the outcome.

What working together looks like

First conversation. We listen first. Whether you are buying, selling or both, we want to know your timeline, budget, health or family considerations, and what a great outcome looks like for you. There is no pressure and no obligation.

A written plan. Buyers get a short list of communities and home types that fit, plus an estimate of fees and closing costs. Sellers get a pricing range, a prep list and a marketing timeline.

Regular updates. You will hear from us on a schedule you choose: daily during a busy escrow, weekly while a listing is active, or whenever something changes. Many of our clients live out of state, so we use phone, text, email and video calls.

Problem solving. Real estate rarely goes perfectly. Inspections uncover repairs, appraisals come in low, and closing dates shift. Our job is to spot issues early, explain your options clearly and negotiate on your behalf.

After closing. We stay available for questions, vendor recommendations and future moves.
