There’s a reason Integrity All Stars has its name: Rebecca Hidalgo Rains is their leader. Doing the right thing and prioritizing her clients first is the name of her game.
Rebecca got her start in the industry very young. “I originally was licensed at the age of 19. My dad got me into the business, rest his soul. He tried when I was 18, and I kicked and fought it, went to college, and was working as a receptionist in a law firm for minimum wage when I finally decided, ‘Ok, fine. I’ll go work for Pops.’” She worked with her father and siblings until she graduated from Arizona State, when she started working for home builders.
She earned her broker’s license in 1998 while on maternity leave from a builder,and subsequently worked as a sales associate for a couple of different builders. In 2005, she found herself promoted
to sales management. “You get out of real estate what you put into it. It’s not easy — it actually can be really hard to get started.”
As of 2007, Rebecca started building Integrity All Stars in the foreclosure and short sale industry. Currently, the team represents Bellago Homes as well as helps their other clients with all aspects of residential real estate.
“My biggest passion is just having fun, working with my husband, and helping new people. Whether it’s our staff, our colleagues, or our clients. What I enjoy the most is just waking up every day and helping others the best I can.”
“The biggest challenge is cramming everything into my day,” Rebecca admits. “My poor husband has suffered from my inability to be on time for a lot of things because I’m always trying to do more and cram more into my day. I think it’s just against my personality to time-block, even though I’d really love to be that disciplined.”
Rebecca values passing tips to aspiring top producers. “The best advice I have ever received is to just answer the phone.” Rebecca expresses the importance of being there for your clients because it fosters long-lasting relationships. “People are actually very surprised when they get me after-hours because once our staff goes home, my husband and I take turns answering the calls, even if it’s a brandnew lead, they actually get me on the phone.”
Rebecca also points out that moving with the future is a transition that many agents struggle with. A significant but overlooked technique that agents should work on is videography. “While everyone keeps hearing ‘it’s the wave of the future,’” she says, “very few people actually do them on a regular basis, or are comfortable on camera.” Communicating with clients or colleagues via video is just another way to strengthen connections in your business.
In her illustrious career, Rebecca has amassed over 1,000 sales and has consistently been in the
top 250 in the country for the past several years. Despite this, her greatest aspirations are aimed at the future.
“I would have to say my greatest achievement is something that we’re working on right now, which is finally building our own office and creating our own space. That’s really been exciting and is a project my husband and I have been working on for the last year, and it’s finally coming to fruition.”
In her everyday life, Rebecca applies a can-do, optimistic attitude. A phrase that best describes her is “Good Morning Sunshine.” “I’m all about the sunshine. I think anyone who knows me, knows I have a positive disposition in most scenarios. I’m always trying to find the silver lining and making lemonade out of lemons.”
Rebecca married James Rains six years ago. Ever since, they have been the perfect pair, working together since 2009 and raising their family. Her joy in collaborating with James and working with clients reflects on her generous and positive standpoint in life.
In her free time, she loves hanging out with her two daughters, Hannah and Sarah. Being an avid traveler, Rebecca loves the opportunity to visit her older daughter, Hannah, who is a sophomore at the University of Hawaii. “If you give me an excuse to go someplace I’ve never been, I’m there.” But there was one trip that topped them all.
“Probably my favorite trip was the one where my husband James and I did our vows. We got married on a boat in Prague while winding our way down a river. We had a wonderful time. We flew into London and took the Eurail, traveling through seven countries in 17 days.”
Rebecca Hidalgo Rains has found a lot of success in her 25-year career. What’s even more apparent is her dedication to her clients. She has won several customer service awards, including Number One Customer Service in Arizona for Berkshire Hathaway. Clearly, Rebecca thrives off being a peopleperson and showing integrity.
“To me, success is not necessarily tied to a dollar. Dollars follow the things that you do if you do them right. And I truly believe that if you keep your clients first, ahead of your own needs, and you’re always working with integrity and doing what’s right, that’s really the definition of success.”

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Jonathan «««««
Rebecca and her team (Ashley and Ayriel) are fantastic. They reviewed every aspect of helping my brother and I review and prepare the house. I have bought and sold several other homes and have not come across a more professional team of experts. Everyone has done an outstanding job and I was discussing with my brother - I should move out of my house and have them all come in and make it look brand new. They all have a great gift and a great eye for making places look great. If I was able to give 10 stars I would! Fantastic service and quality throughout and the professionalism to execute every detail is exceptional.

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness
I am super happy with the job that Rebecca and the entire Integrity All Stars team did for my house sale this year. I'm an out-of-state seller, and they took care of absolutely everything for me. They coordinated with my property management company and tenants. They managed the home improvements and cleanup. Finally, they handled the negotiations and contracts. All of this without me ever needing to travel. They made every accommodation to help me get the house ready, advertise it, and sell it in a very short period of time. I could not be happier with the experience. Most impressive of all was not just how responsive Rebecca and the entire team was, but also how much they really worked to make sure I felt informed and comfortable through the whole process. Using video chat, for example, to walk me through current issues and resolution. Thank you so much for a great experience!
Brett Tidball«««««
Rebecca, James, Ayriel, and Ashley were incredible to work with!! They were one step ahead of all my questions and helped put me at ease over and over. Selling a house isn't easy but when you have All-Stars helping you along the way it is significantly easier. Thank you all for everything you did for my family and me!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Rebecca and Jim reigns were wonderful when it came to selling my house. It was easy and painful. I got the best price any homeowner could wish for. They truly are the best agents in the valley. The best part I only had to stage it for one weekend it’s sold within two days. The Best!!!
Craig Kitchen«««««
Rebecca and James and the Integrity All Stars team were terrific handling the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home. They have constructed a business process that is flawless in addressing all the aspects of a sale or a purchase. Their attention to the smallest detail makes all the difference. We had multiple offers (ABOVE ASKING) on the first day our home hit the market and they negotiated the purchase of our new home so we were able to simultaneously close within 30 days. In 50 years of buying and selling our homes, we never had a deal work this smoothly or this quickly. We would 100% use this team again and highly recommend them to everyone we know. Thank you, Integrity All Stars.

From the very moment that I contacted Rebecca and her team, I felt assured, confident and excited! Rebecca and her husband met with me face to face immediately after contacting them. We thoroughly discussed every detail needed to get our house ready for market, the date we needed to put it on the market and what that all entailed. Soon after, our house was photographed and marketed online. Days later our house went live and it was under contract immediately! From the minute the contract was signed to the minute we closed, Rebecca and her team...most especially Rebecca, Ayriel and Cherie...we’re on top of everything. And I mean everything! We were in contact daily. From start to finish all went very smoothly! My husband’s job has moved us around over 8 times and I can honestly say that Rebecca Hidalgo Rains and her entire team are the very best in the Real Estate Industry! The. Very. Best. I highly recommended their team to everyone out there looking to sell or buy a home! Look no further! Honestly, there is nobody out there that will get the job done for you better than Rebecca and her team!!

Rebecca and her team did an awesome job helping me sell a rental property in Copper Basin. I live out of state, so I was not available to coordinate the needed repairs before we could market the house. Rebecca handled all the contractors, picked out materials and made sure the work was done quickly and professionally. I did not have to do anything! The house sold in 5 days at $16,000 over asking with 10 offers. We own 2 other rental homes in San Tan Valley, when it is time to sell those Rebecca will be our first call. I highly recommend Rebecca and her team.

Working with Rebecca and her team at Integrity All Stars was such a breeze! We happened to purchase a house her team was selling, and were so impressed with how responsive and helpful they were during that transaction that we changed our mind from renting our previous house to selling it!
Selling our house with their team was incredible. I can't begin to explain all of the things their team just "does right." They have so much experience and expertise in their area that I really would recommend them to everyone.
If you're thinking of selling your home (or buying a new home), GO WITH THEIR TEAM! I can't sing their praise enough!

RIM COUNTRY CABIN TOURS
Have you ever dreamt of owning your own cabin in the cool pine trees? In 2017 we purchased our dream, a little cabin in the cool pines in Strawberry Arizona. Before we invested ourselves, we had stayed in various VRBO rentals over the years in places like Mund’s Park (Flagstaff), Heber, Showlow/Pinetop as well as Pine/ Strawberry. Besides being on average 25 degrees cooler, it’s ONLY 1.5-2 hours from the Southeast Valley where we live, which was huge for us. We originally purchased planning on renting it out when we couldn’t go up there, but we love it so much that we spend most weekends possible (when we aren’t working) in the cool pines with our family and friends. We’ve also sold a lot of cabins since then too. It’s easy to get hooked, there’s so much to offer and everyone really is so nice up there. (It proved to be an excellent get away during Covid as well)
If you aren’t familiar with the area but have thought about renting or buying up there yourself, you should check out some of the links on the website, https://integrityallstars.com/ rimcountry/. And if you’d prefer to rent first, you may want to check out VRBO for some places to test the waters. We always recommend to spend some time up there first getting to know the area to see if you enjoy it as much as we do.
Three of our favorite restaurants to eat and also hang out as they have live music regularly are The Old County Inn, The Weekender Bar & Restaurant, & Pinewood Tavern.
If you like to hike, there are lots of trails, but you definitely should check out the Natural Bridge. Kayaking or just being out on a lake, there’s Blue Ridge which isn’t far. Another past time is riding around town or in the forest in side by sides, lots of trails to do that with some amazing views.
If shopping is your thing, there’s several antique and boutique shops in the area.
All in all, it’s cool, peaceful, quiet and simply gorgeous- if you haven’t been, you should definitely come see why we call it our little slice of Heaven. We’d be delighted to show you some cabins if you do, just give us a heads up by calling our office before you drive up the hill. It really is fun to check out!
Hope to see y’all up there soon!
I LOVE HELPING SENIORS
After nearly 3 decades serving my clients, there is not anything more satisfying than helping our Seniors. They have a special place in my heart. Perhaps it’s because my own Grandparents played a large role in my upbringing, or just perhaps it’s their general lack of having a filter; I don’t really know the reason but I find it fun and rewarding. I like to think I treat them like my own family and always put their needs first whether it’s selling or buying or sometimes both, like I got to do for the Pavlins.
Our office is rather closely located to Sun Lakes and I have helped my mother recently purchase in Solera in Chandler. I believe they are great communities for finding activities and friendships and everyone in general is really nice and looks out for one another. Because I’ve become so passionate about helping our Active Adults, I recently completed additional education and earned the prestigious designation of SRES.
Why Use an SRES®

STAGING A HOME
There are two main benefits of home staging: faster selling time and higher sales price of real estate. According to the National Association of REALTORS®, staged homes sell 80% quicker, and for up to 11% more money than non-staged properties.
Home buyers tend to select homes based on curb appeal and first impressions. That is why home staging is so important. A staged home can create an emotional chord with the buyer. A staged home helps buyers envision themselves in the house.... creating the lifestyle they desire and would potentially lead while living in the home.
Staging makes a house appeal to the greatest number of potential buyers, and helps make it feel like a home – one the buyer would love to move into. Buyers remember staged homes better and walk away feeling a greater connection with the home – imagining what it would be like to live there.
In a highly-competitive market, with many homes to choose from, there are certain features that buyers look for. They like to see a very livable home that will impress their friends and relatives.

Pricing Strategy
PRICING A HOME AT 98%-101% OF VALUE BASED ON PREVIOUS RECORDED SALES IS STATISTICALLY PROVEN TO MAXIMIZE SALE PRICE
Pricing a home in the A-B range limits buyer demand, and is likely to attract the wrong buyers, people who are looking for a nicer home.
Pricing a home in the C range loses about 26% of potential buyers, limiting competition and resulting in slightly lower sale prices.
Pricing a home in the D range attracts about 1% more buyers than the our recommended range, but ultimately results in slightly lower sale prices because many of these buyers can’t afford to compete as the price escalates.
Pricing a home in the E-F range often attracts the wrong buyers, either wholesale flippers, or people who are looking for a lower priced home.
There are 4 major factors in selling your home: Price | Marketing | Terms | Effective Transaction Management
Because pricing is one of the most important factors affecting your sale, it is critical to be positioned correctly when you first come on the market.
