Success Stories

"Adam was great to work with. My mom past and this was her home and he made the process so much easier. It was effortless when I thought it was going to be a nightmare. I would recommend him to anyone! We are planning to use him next year when we buy our first home and can't wait!"

Aubree S.

"This is our second time working with Adam and both experiences were incredible! He is extremely responsive and knowledgeable! He is practical but always positive and encouraging. We love our new home and will likely be there a while but I look forward to working with him again in the future."

Buyer / Seller

"Adam is truly the best agent in Arizona. We have had the pleasure of working with him now on two home purchases and two home sales. He is communicative, empathetic, and wildly knowledgeable - he was able to negotiate on our behalf to ensure that we got our forever home, and I truly believe that no one else would have gone to the lengths he did. If we ever find ourselves in a position to move again he is the only RE agent we will ever use, and I suggest you do the same!"

Christa Q.

"Adam is an absolute RE professional. Knowledgeable - responsive and sharp negotiation skills. His team at North Co. are the best in the business to work with and their process and execution are flawless. Adam and his team have assisted me with the purchase and sale of a home and we have referred him to family who recently purchased a home. I have and would recommend Adam and his team to friends and family."

Terry S.

"Adam did an excellent job in assisting us to relocate our current home. We initially met Adam when he was performing an open-house and were very pleased with his knowledge and communication skills. We retrained his business card and later utilized Adam in the negotiation process of our new home and the selling of our previous home. We have been very pleased with the service Adam and his team provided."

David

"Adam was an excellent resource during every step of our selling experience. He helped us to get the listing manicured properly to highlight all of the positive aspects of the property, and had great picture of the property taken and added to the listing. Some of the photos included virtual staging to add additional depth and context of the potential of the space. When we found a buyer the escrow and closing process were both smooth sailing, and the deal was actually able to close a couple weeks earlier than expected. I would highly recommend Adam to any home owners looking to sell their property in the Phoenix metropolitan area!"

Seller

"This is the second time I have used Adam but this time to purchase a home with my husband. He made the process super easy. I had zero knowledge on what I was doing and I never felt lost in the process thanks to him. I 100000000% recommend using Adam if you plan to purchase or sell your home."

Aubree S.

"Adam is my go to realtor in Arizona! He is very knowledgeable and makes the process of buying or selling very easy. He is the best with no stress."

Melissa R.

"Adam is hands down the best experience I’ve ever had with a realtor. Buying a house is one thing, but buying the house that you have an emotional connection with is what it’s all about. I would not have gotten the house I wanted if it wasn’t for Adam’s negotiation skills and being able to build relationships with other representing agents. Can’t thank him enough for his help and I’m lucky to have him as a life long agent in Arizona."

Zach T.

"Being a lender in AZ, I have the choice of any agent I want to represent me. I chose Adam for his hyper local knowledge of Arcadia! My fiance even owns her own brokerage (we live out of state now) and we tried listing it using her with no luck. We just STR the house for 4 months and then spoke with Adam knowing that he partnered with Brian North of North & Co, and knew they were the perfect fit! Even when it had not sold in the first 30-60 days, he advised us to stick with the pricing when most agents would have advised to cut, but he knew the value was there, and he was right. Thank you for doing an amazing job for us and getting this closed seamlessly!"
