More Photos of La Encantada Shopping Center

La Encantada Mall is one of the most peaceful places to shop in Tucson, especially when the gorgeous weather is calling you to come outside and play.

The mall is home to some beautiful boutiques and well known stores like Bose, Tiffany & Co., Pottery Barn/Williams-Sonoma, Apple Store, Crate & Barrel, Yankee Candle, well, you get the idea.

If you like to cook, or eat, they have an incredible market called AJ's Purveyors of Fine Foods. You have to go just to see this place. They have a sushi chef, a confectioner, a baker, large wine selection, fresh meat and fish and produce that looks to good to eat.

For lunch, I love Blanco Tacos + Tequila. Order the guacamole, it is made fresh just for you. It has become a Tucson favorite. I hear people talking about it all the time.

For dinner, they have several great restaurants, Some with great views of the city lights. Try Blanco Tacos + Tequila, or North restaurant for views.

Have fun,

Tony Ray

Testimonials

My Clients Have Something To Say

Our Realtor in NJ referred us to Tony Ray Baker.

From our first meeting we could see that Tony ray loved his work and loved people. Tony Ray is enthusiastic, energetic, positive, conscientious and professional. He listened carefully to what we were looking for in a home and then showed us properties that matched our criteria.This ability to listen and focus on the client was very important to us as we had only a short time to find a home.

Tony Ray is also a creative person. He is able to visualize color and furnishings in a home even if there is nothing in it, and the walls are builders white. Tony Ray helped me picture my own things in a potential home and see multiple uses for the same room, i.e. a bedroom as a home office. Tony Ray knows the Tucson area and its real-estate market. He helped us find a beautiful home in Rancho Vistoso. We love the area and our home and is perfect for us.
When you call Tony Ray his answering machine states that he is your Real-estate agent for life. He truly means this. After an offer is presented and the home has "closed", Tony will continue to contact you about once a month. Through his phone calls and newsletter he continues to serve his clients by sharing helpful maintenance tips and contractor referrals. He made the entire process of searching for a home fun and as stress free as possible. We highly recommend him for anyone searching for a home in the Tucson area.

In January of this year my husband, Matt and I were in Tucson looking to purchase a second home. We had a small window of time in which to accomplish this goal. Fortunately for us our real estate agent was Tony Ray Baker. He was highly recommended by a mutual acquaintance. He exceeded even that recommendation.

He was very knowledgeable about the real estate market, incredibly patient and personable. What impressed us was the level of professionalism that Tony Ray Baker exhibited in every transaction involved in purchasing our home. It was clear that his level of integrity and professionalism was reflected in all the other business people we dealt with in the process of closing on this home.

These qualities, from our perspective, would be enough to highly recommend Tony Ray Baker. He went far beyond what I feel most realtors would do, furthermore, Tony made sure that we were connected to an honest and professional group of individuals that made our home buying experience in Tucson a very pleasant and easy one. He had a list of resources that he had screened and could highly recommend from painters to contractors to a list of good restaurants and even the best place to get your car washed.

Tony Ray took the stress out of moving and relocating and made the experience incredibly pleasant. We highly recommend him.

Sincerely,

Christine Walsh

To The Raytheon Relocation Team

My fiance Jan and myself visited Tucson in December of 1998 to familiarize ourselves with the area. We both agree the weekend itinerary put together by Raytheon was an excellent program to insure all employees received adequate information on which to make a relocation decision.

One major concern for most people faced with making the decision to move to Tucson is the cost of housing. We heard several comments while in Tucson and several since we have returned to Texas about the lack of affordable housing.

Jan and I would like to relate our experience while looking for housing in Tucson. Tony Ray Baker contacted us prior to our departure from Dallas to schedule an appointment to look at available homes. He asked us what we were looking for, i.e., size, area, price range, etc., which we were glad to share with him. He met us in Tucson with a list of homes he had chosen which met our criteria. He showed us homes in more than one area of the city, which allowed us to see the areas and the variation in prices from one area to another. And, just as important, he did not show us homes we felt were out of our price range. We came home convinced there were homes in Tucson that met our expectations. We owe this realization to Tony Ray for his understanding of our needs and his efforts to show us exactly what we asked to see.

If I may, I would like to make a suggestion for future familiarization trips. Have someone contact each employee to inquire about individual housing needs. Then show each employee homes, in more than one area that meets their criteria. It may be possible that most employees are only seeing homes in the more expensive neighborhoods and they don't realize that there are other options available. Tony Ray showed us the East, West, North, and Northwest areas to give us the chance to evaluate each area. It would be a plus if all employees had the same personalized tour based on their individual criteria.

Tony Ray is simply the best!
Because of my husband's job career, we move A LOT! In 1999, we moved from Tucson back to the Midwest and Tony Ray went above and beyond as our real estate consultant with his professionalism, business savvy and great negotiating skills! He made what could have been a difficult transaction effortless for us.

As we closed the deal, Tony Ray was confident that we would move back to Tucson some day. He was right!

When my husband and I found out that we were moving back to Tucson in 2003 we immediately called Tony Ray! I was so excited to work with Tony Ray again because of his passion and enthusiasm for his real estate clients. He made himself available on our timetable so we could fly in to look at houses. When Tony Ray said to us in 1999 that he was our real estate consultant for life, he really meant it. Thanks Tony Ray: we are your real estate clients for life!
