Originally from the Midwest, Al and Jean Batson hail from Straughn, Indiana and Elmhurst Illinois respectively. After growing up on a farm, Al graduated from Purdue University with a degree in Business Management. Jean attended Northern Illinois University before moving to California where she graduated from Santa Ana College with a degree in Business/Real Estate. After many years in Orange County, California (where they met), they moved to Arizona in 1995 and have been residents of Desert Ridge since early 2004. Prior to their real estate careers, Al was Operations Manager for Hughes-Calihan Konica-Minolta (Phoenix Corporate) and Jean was Director of Operations Projects at the Phoenix Corporate office of Clear Channel Outdoor. Prior to moving to ARIZONA, Al spent 23 years with L’eggs in Operations Management while Jean was active in real estate and public service. Al and Jean’s vast experience in business, rental property ownership, title insurance, home management and real estate brings cohesiveness to their real estate business. Their experience in life and business has taught them how to really listen to their clients in order to better serve their needs.
Their favorite leisure-time activities are travel, cooking, entertaining, theater, movies and spending time enjoying friends and family. Their teenaged grandson, Nick, has them wrapped around his finger.
