Joel and his family moved to Scottsdale in November of 2017 from Washington State. They have roots in the NW, and now they are blooming in Arizona. He loves the Scottsdale community they have settled into to raise their son, Indy, who is almost 5 years old. His two older children still call the NW home but like to visit often.
Joel loves making sure his clients are 100% guided, supported, represented, and advocated for throughout the process of their purchase or sale. Being a transplant from the NW, he has a passion for clients relocating to the area, as well as those looking for vacation homes. He knows firsthand what a game-changer the sunshine, palm trees, and swimming pools are for an out of area buyer. He also knows firsthand how many other factors play into making a move to another state. It is a big endeavor if only moving to a new neighborhood one mile away let alone 1300 miles away. Now that he is living full time in Scottsdale, he is ready to dive into this robust real estate market helping local and out of state buyers and sellers.
Joel originally got his real estate license in 1999 in Washington State, where he worked as a realtor. In 2005, he started in Residential Land Development working on and developing numerous projects and creating beautiful homesites for local and national builders. Then in 2010 he opened his own real estate brokerage and ran a successful brokerage in Washington and Oregon before transitioning to Arizona. He continues to hold a managing broker license in Washington and Oregon and has strong roots in all three states. In these three roles, Joel has been a part of hundreds of transactions, and he has learned from every single one. He is well equipped to represent you in what is likely the most important purchase or sale you will make.
A cornerstone to how Joel conducts his business is being readily available to his clients and keeping in active communication throughout the process. He strives to hold himself to the same professional standard that he would expect if roles were reversed. He truly loves and enjoys what he does.
In the words of Mark Twain: “Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
