🌵 Arizona — Phoenix Metro & East Valley
Scottsdale
One of the most desirable — and nuanced — markets in Arizona. Neighborhoods range from Old Town condos to luxury estates in North Scottsdale and DC Ranch. Kevin serves buyers and sellers across Scottsdale and can handle financing as a dual-licensed MLO.
Key submarkets: Old Town (condos from the low $400Ks), McCormick Ranch & Gainey Ranch ($600K–$1.2M golf communities), DC Ranch & Silverleaf (luxury master-planned from $1M–$10M+). A top destination for snowbirds, California relocatees, and second-home buyers.
Chandler
A high-demand East Valley city with a strong tech job base, excellent schools, and diverse housing from affordable condos to $1.6M+ estate communities in South Chandler. Intel, PayPal, Amazon, and Wells Fargo all anchor this market.
Top neighborhoods: Fulton Ranch ($600K–$900K golf community), Ocotillo (lakeside from $500K), Sun Groves ($450K–$700K, top schools), and new-build corridors in South Chandler pushing $1M+.
Tempe
Centrally located with proximity to ASU, Sky Harbor Airport, and major employment corridors. Attracts first-time buyers, investors, and move-up buyers seeking walkable urban living.
Tempe Town Lake corridor: modern condos from the low-to-mid $300Ks. South Tempe: SFH $500K–$750K with top schools. Light rail access and proximity to both Phoenix and Chandler make Tempe one of the most location-efficient buys in the metro.
Mesa
Arizona’s third-largest city offers entry-level starter homes from the mid-$280Ks to luxury master-planned communities in East Mesa from $450K–$750K+. Strong for families, retirees, and investors.
Standouts: Eastmark & Cadence (resort-style master-planned), Dobson Ranch (lakeside character, mid-range), active 55+ communities, and growing short-term rental demand near Mesa Gateway Airport.
Gilbert
One of the most sought-after suburbs in the Southwest. Top-rated schools, low crime, and family-friendly neighborhoods make it a perennial favorite for move-up buyers and California transplants.
Best neighborhoods: Power Ranch ($450K–$750K, resort amenities), Morrison Ranch & Cooley Station ($500K–$850K), Agritopia (urban farm community, $600K+), and Val Vista Lakes (lakefront from $500K). Heritage District adds a vibrant dining scene.
Phoenix
The largest city in Arizona spans dozens of distinct neighborhoods from historic Arcadia and Biltmore to up-and-coming Laveen and the Camelback Corridor. Kevin’s home base.
Price range: Laveen/South Mountain entry-level from the mid-$300Ks to Arcadia & Biltmore luxury ($1M–$4M+). Willo & Coronado historic districts ($500K–$800K), Camelback & Deer Valley mid-market ($500K–$900K). One of the top rental demand environments in the U.S.
Glendale, Peoria & West Valley
The West Valley offers some of the most affordable entry points in the Phoenix metro. Kevin teaches at Glendale Community College and knows this corridor inside out, including down payment assistance programs.
Arrowhead Ranch ($450K–$750K golf), Westgate entertainment district (strong STR market), Surprise Farms & White Tank ($350K–$550K new builds), Estrella Mountain Ranch in Goodyear (lakeside from $350K). VA loan expertise for the large military buyer population near Luke AFB.
Queen Creek, San Tan Valley & SE Valley
Explosive growth over the past decade, attracting families seeking new construction, larger lots, and a quieter lifestyle within commute distance of the East Valley job corridor.
Harvest (resort amenities, new builds from $450K), Circle Cross Ranch, and Schnepf Farms neighborhoods for buyers wanting character and space. San Tan Valley from the mid-$300Ks, equestrian lots available. Kevin’s negotiation background helps buyers extract better upgrades and terms from new-home builders.
🌊 California — Southern California
Kevin is a licensed real estate agent in California (License #02238213) and a member of the San Diego Association of Realtors (SDAR) and San Diego MLS (SDMLS). He grew up in Murrieta and attended San Diego State University — he knows Southern California from the inside.
Murrieta / Temecula
Kevin grew up in Murrieta and has deep personal knowledge of this Inland Empire wine country corridor. Attracts local buyers and San Diego commuters seeking more space at lower prices — and is a common origin market for clients relocating to Arizona.
SFH typically $500K–$950K. Popular communities: Spencer’s Crossing, Harveston, and Redhawk. Temecula Wine Country draws second-home and investment buyers. Both Murrieta Valley and TVUSD are consistently top-rated California school districts. One hour to downtown San Diego or metro LA.
San Diego
One of Kevin’s primary California markets. He attended SDSU for both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees and knows the region’s neighborhoods, price dynamics, and buyer culture well. Member of SDAR and SDMLS.
Submarkets: North Park & South Park (walkable character homes from high $800Ks), La Jolla & Del Mar (luxury coastal $1.5M–$5M+), Rancho Bernardo & Scripps Ranch (suburban family, high $800Ks), Chula Vista (entry from low $700Ks). Military, biotech, and UCSD anchor strong demand.
Inland Empire & Greater SoCal
Kevin works with clients across the broader Inland Empire, Orange County, and Los Angeles County — whether buying locally, selling to relocate, or refinancing. Can coordinate both a California sale and an Arizona purchase under one roof.
Rancho Cucamonga & Ontario ($650K–$900K, mountain views, LA commute access), Riverside & Fontana (entry-level from low $500Ks). Strong logistics and remote-work economy. Ideal for buyers priced out of coastal SoCal who want a manageable payment and quality of life.
