WHAT Caliber of Realtor DO YOU WANT IN YOUR CORNER?
RANKED #1 among nearly
1,000 REALTORS
at Russ Lyon|Sotheby's in Scottsdale!
RANKED #3 out of
79,454 REALTORS in the state of Arizona!
LISA LUCKY, just one member of the dynamic Luckys trio, is consistently acknowledged year after year as one of the top Realtors in the Valley, in Arizona and the entire U.S.
RANKED #229 out of 1,359,208 REALTORS in the United States! Rankings, as advertised in The Wall Street Journal, are provided by REAL Trends, Inc. and are based on total sales volume.
As impressive as those rankings are, her only goal is to be RANKED
“My wife and I have bought and sold a lot of real estate in six different states. The Luckys are the best team we have ever worked with by far. Very professional, great marketers, strong understanding of the market in terms of what sells including how and at what price and access to lots of resources to help the process. They managed the process start to finish without much help from us and kept us informed along the way. We are using them again on the purchase of a new home. We would highly recommend them. They way exceeded expectations.” – Barb and John
#1 within the most important grouping:
“They are the best! From the time we interviewed multiple Realtors and choose them over others, it took a week to get the house prepared, pictures taken, and listed. Then it took less than a week with 11 showings to get multiple offers bidding against each other to raise the price to the full listing price and an accepted offer with no contingencies other than an inspection. From offer acceptance to closing about 2 more weeks, the entire process in about a month!!” – JR
“Lisa and her team went above and beyond to facilitate my house sale and closing of escrow. Could not have done it without her. THE BEST. I was ready to give up but she made it happen.” – Marie Ann
