Have you encountered a situation where a person or business is operating as a middleman acquiring, improving, and selling homes? If so, remember per A.R.S. 32-1121 (A) (14), all work performed for the purpose of selling the property, must be performed by licensed contractors if the total aggregate cost (materials and labor) is $1,000 or more, not minor in nature and/or requires a permit.
In addition, the name of all of the licensed contractors who performed work on the property and their ROC number(s) must be disclosed in the purchase contract. (A.R.S. 32-1121 (A) (6).
Please make sure these requirements are being met per Arizona laws and to protect all parties.

It is with much sadness to notify you that Michael (Mike) C. Sturgis suddenly passed away on January 19th due to a car accident. Mike has been an integral part of our industry for nearly 28 years. Mike had a passion for Real Estate especially investing and was always happy to help others as much as he could and enjoyed teaching others and watching them grow. If you met him you knew that family always came first and he ultimately partnered with his son-in-law, Michael Troughton at his own brokerage Panacea Realty. On behalf of the Tucson Association of Realtors and our entire industry, we are extending all our thoughts and prayers to his entire family. Rest in Peace. https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/tucson-az/michael-sturgis-11114881
