Ken is FANTASTIC at what he does; a complete and total natural! I had been putting off buying a home for a couple of years now, although my partner was ready to make the commitment. He introduced me to Ken and I immediately knew not only was I ready to purchase our first home, but that Ken would be the one to help us find it. Having been a trainer and manager in high end customer service for 15 years, I can say he is ever patient, a wonderful listener, and just a joy to be around. I'd recommend Ken to any friends, family, or person in passing saying they are interested in buying a house. It never felt like a chore, I never felt nervous. More than the commitment of buying a home, I was terrified of the process and the jargon that came along with it. Ken made home hunting fun and my partner and I always felt listened to, cared for, and if Ken wasn't spot on then he was one step ahead of the game and always had our best interest at heart. He explained all the processes and put my mind at ease and saved us a substantial amount of money and ensured the seller provided home protections that originally were not have offered. Truly and sincerely, it felt like home cruising with my best bud, and I had only just met him. If you need a home in Phoenix / Tucson areas, I'm confident Ken is the one you need to team up with. Thanks, Ken! - Lynette & Shawndon read more

Ken deserves multiple 5+ star ratings from me. Ken is without a doubt Arizona's Best Realtor. There just can't be anyone better! Over a 6 month period Ken regularly drove me (and at times, can you believe, my very furry Corgi too?) from Phoenix to Tucson to show me over 200 homes. Yes, you read correctly - 200 homes! I can't imagine any other realtor would do this for one client. Ken treated me like I was a corporation! It took months and thousands of miles, but Ken finally found the right home for me and my particular needs. Throughout this very arduous process, Ken always had my needs at the forefront. Every day he would arrive with the most positive attitude that continued over the 200 mile round trip and the house visits. When the purchase took place Ken explained every aspect of the closing process until I could understand it! He was there for me when I needed to utilize the home warranty he put in place for me. Every question I ever had, and I had so many over the 6 months, was answered in very short order and very thoroughly. Ken loves his work and he knows real estate inside and out. He is dedicated to his clients, and he is always, always, a professional. Whether you are a buyer or a seller, lucky you if you have Ken as your realtor. I am truly indebted to him for the incredible amount of amazing work he did in finding my new home. read more

We recently moved from Tucson to Peoria, Az, and were introduced to Ken by our Tucson realtor -- an we were SO GLAD we were! We spent a lot of time looking at houses online, asking many questions of Ken along the way, and made 4 house hunting trips over 4 weeks looking at 40+ houses with Ken. He was gracious, patient, personable and extremely knowledgeable -- he took the time to learn what we were looking for, and offered valuable counsel during our search. When we were ready to make an offer, which was for somewhat less than list price, Ken carried the day for us with the Sellers' realtor -- the Seller's accepted our offer, and we were on our way to completing our purchase. We could not have had a better buying experience than we did working with Ken, and we highly recommend Ken as your listing and/or buying agent. We did to a friend, who he helped purchase a home in the same community in which we live. read more

Ken acted as our agent while shopping for a new home in Tucson. We probably looked at 30 properties before reaching a decision; so, we spent considerable time with Ken. Ken is easy to work with, extremely knowledgeable about both Real Estate transactions and Tucson in general, and exists for his customers. He is the type of person you definitely want on your side. He was our advocate before the transaction and afterwards as well. He has old school business sense of putting his customers first. We understand Ken is now working in the Phoenix area as well as Tucson. More the better for people up in Phoenix!! read more

Ken is and will continue to be one of the most proficient, professional and enjoyable real estate agents that our industry has. Working in the title and escrow industry I see it all and I believe in Ken so strongly that our family chose him to represent us in the sale of our home. Ken not only suggested that we list our home for more than what we had in mind but he had us under contract in less than 24 hours in a tough Tucson market. Outstanding in every sense is the only way to describe Ken in how he represents his clients and himself. read more

The process of buying your first home can be incredibly intimidating but not with Ken by your side. Throughout the process, his patience, knowledge of the housing market and persistence in making sure I found the right fit made him more like a trusted friend. When it comes to negotiating the best deal for you there is simply no one better. What I appreciated most is that Ken learns what your style is. He quickly pin-pointed what would appeal to me and targeted those listings only. There's no one better than Ken, he has a client for life! read more
