Jeffery Hall

Jeffery is a Realtor and attorney (not actively practicing) with over 20 years of practice in real estate transactions and construction law. As a Realtor, a large part of his practice centers around what he terms “transitions” that occur through life circumstances and hardships. It involves his assistance to families that are downsizing, estate liquidation, probate, family law/divorce cases, and property ownership disputes that require property partition.
In addition to my “transitions” practice, Jeffery enjoys working with horse and golf properties because of their uniqueness.
Jeffery tries hard to be empathetic to each party’s emotions and needs during the selling process because they are going through one of the most traumatic and momentous events in their lives. In divorce cases, there is a home being sold. Let that sink in: a home. A structure is once known as safe, secure, happy, and comfortably familiar. Those couples, families, and individuals have to move on, though, and transition into a new life -- one of the most difficult tasks they individually and collectively will face for years. And Jeffery is fortunate to be there in some small fashion to help them deal with and make it through that transition.
It is both Jeffery's role – and he tries incredibly hard -- to identify and resolve issues early, diminish conflicts quickly and keep clients who may be exhausted both financially and emotionally moving forward. Jeffery understands that by the time he enters a case, that personal finances may be stretched. So, he tries hard to anticipate the issues that invariably arise during a real estate listing and sale and try to foresee ways to anticipate keeping minimizing their financial stresses. He is fortunate that his long background in construction provides him with the experience and knowledge to identify the most cost-effective ways to update or repair delayed maintenance items that could prove to be problematic in concluding a sale. Quite often the marital home has been the last battleground and maybe the final puzzle piece in the couple’s long process in the final phase of letting go.
Jeffery knows that pricing a property accurately based on competitive comps and the house condition can facilitate a timely sale so their lives can move forward and begin anew. Through his affiliation with Russ Lyon Sotheby’s, Jeffery offers the best marketing exposure and professional service for all clients, no matter the price range. While many of his clients have home valuations in the $400k to $2m and up the range, it is not uncommon for Jeffery to handle transactions in the $200k range, too. It has been his privilege to assist those clients and family members that have begun that journey – transition-- and have made that leap of faith.
In those cases where he is appointed as a Special Real Estate Commissioner, neither the attorneys nor the clients need not worry about ensuring the real estate transaction will be handled properly. (Being a Special Real Estate Commissioner means he is on a small but exclusive list of Court approved real estate agents assisting divorcing couples with the disposal of their real estate during their separation process.)
Jeffery has a fantastic team of professionals and artists who are “go-to” consultants, tradesmen, interior designers, and photographers/artists who assist him in transactions. His unique professional and personal background blends all aspects of a real estate transaction - legal; strategic development and negotiation skills; financial; insurance; development and construction considerations; and risk management. Jeffery understands the meaning and importance of the real estate contract and can explain the terms and transaction process in a way that makes it easy for people to understand.
Relationships are important in real estate, and Jeffery is confident you will find his midwestern upbringing is exceptionally straightforward, and transparent and brings a personal, helpful demeanor and manner that bears intellect, integrity, and trust to my representation.
Educationally, Jeffery received his law degree from the New England School of Law, and has been licensed to practice in Arizona since 1995. After a brief career for a boutique law firm emphasizing architect/engineer malpractice issues, Jeffery started his firm in July 2002 with a primary focus on real estate and construction matters. He earned his B.S. in Construction Engineering from Iowa State University and he comes from a family background that spans five generations of general contractors and has been involved in projects in Washington, D.C. to New England to Moscow, Russia on various residential, commercial, and larger, “heavy” construction projects. From 2002 – 2009, Jeffery was a general, outside counsel for the Arizona Contractors Association (ACA), a construction industry political lobbying association.
