Hi, I’m Joel. My family moved to Scottsdale in November of 2017 from Washington State. We have roots in the NW, and now we are blooming in Arizona. I love the Scottsdale community we have settled into to raise our son's, Indy, who is 8 and James who is 2 years old. My two older children still call the NW home but like to visit often. I love making sure my clients are 100% guided, supported, represented and advocated for throughout the process of their purchase or sale. Being a transplant from the NW, I have a passion for clients relocating to the area, as well as those looking for vacation homes. I know firsthand what a game-changer the sunshine, palm trees, and swimming pools are for an out of area buyer. I also know firsthand how many other factors play into making a move to another state. It’s a big endeavor if only moving to a new neighborhood one mile away let alone 1300 miles away. Now that I’m living full time in Scottsdale, I’m ready to dive into this robust real estate market helping local and out of state buyers and sellers. I originally got my real estate license in 1999 in Washington State, where I worked as a Realtor. In 2005, I started in Residential Land Development working on and developing numerous projects and creating beautiful homesites for local and national builders. Then in 2010 I opened my own real estate brokerage and ran a successful brokerage in Washington and Oregon before transitioning to Arizona. I continue to hold a managing broker license in Washington and Oregon and have strong roots in all three states. In these three roles, I have been a part of hundreds of transactions, and I have learned from every single one. I am well equipped to represent you in what is likely the most important purchase or sale you will make A cornerstone to how I conduct my business is being readily available to my clients. In the words of Mark Twain ‘find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life’.
