Testimonials

Eddie Jones

“Every great City needs an enlightened Realty Company. Phoenix has azarchitecture/Jarson & Jarson. Arizona is very fortunate to have many great architects and the Jarsons have created a business model unique in the Southwest which supports, encourages and values excellence. Other big city REALTOR® would do well to learn from their example.”

Louise Roman

“Jarson & Jarson are THE resource when buying or selling contemporary homes of design distinction. They have vast experience in the field, knowledge of what is “happening” before it is even “happening”, high professional standards, and good support staff. You always feel that you are getting their full attention and that they want to make what can be a stressful transaction as smooth, and, yes, fun as it can be. Bravo!”

Larry A. Woodin

Past President, Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy

“Jarson & Jarson’s passionate commitment to modern architecture extends into the preservation of the modernist legacy. Scott and Debbie were instrumental in the successful effort to save the Phoenix house Frank Lloyd Wright designed for his son David and daughter-in-law Gladys from demolition. They were enthusiastic and effective preservation advocates without whose contributions the effort may not have succeeded.”

Thomas Hyland

“Last year, my wife and I moved abroad to pursue career opportunities. We chose to lease our home through azarchitecture/Jarson & Jarson and utilize their property management services in our absence. We couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. Scott and Debbie have managed everything; from financial appraisals to lease negotiations and tenant management to ongoing home maintenance, with both care and professionalism. We know our home is in good hands with Jarson & Jarson.”

Nicole Roberts

“Scott has an incredible knowledge and understanding of all housing types and locations the Metropolitan Phoenix area. He has successfully sold out a number of mixed-use and multifamily projects for me. He invests himself and his company in all the projects and homes that he markets and has unmatched success at selling properties for top dollar.”

David and Martha Bills

“We first discovered the Byrne residence on azarchitecture.com. Happily, we now refer to that wonderful Will Bruder creation as “…our home in the desert…” and we have Jarson & Jarson to thank for helping transform a dream into reality. When we first spoke on the phone I felt as if I’d known the Jarsons for a very long time, since I’d been using the website as one of my carefully-selected “go to” resources focusing on architecturally unique homes for years! The tasteful photographs and informative descriptions made it a pleasure to visit the site – and I was visiting often! The depth of knowledge they possess, the demonstrated passion for good design – plus the simple fact they were a genuine pleasure to work with – meant Martha and I knew right away we’d found the right real estate firm.

Scott helped us really appreciate the subtle architectural details, (as well as the superb craftsmanship), of the Byrne residence. Debbie made sure the transaction was managed expertly while deftly coordinating between everyone involved in the closing process. We couldn’t be happier!”

Former Editor-in-Chief

“I first met Debbie and Scott Jarson six years ago. As a magazine editor with a passion for architecture, they were both clients and a valued resource for cutting-edge story ideas. I also found them to be genuinely nice people. They’re cheerful, savvy and great to work with.”

Michael Underhill, AIA

“I have found that Jarson & Jarson understands modern architecture, the poetry of materiality, and the importance of site planning better than any REALTOR® I have worked with. This makes a difference!”

Adam Draizin

“Scott Jarson and his team helped me find and buy an Al Beadle mid-century modern home in 2005. The generous and insightful post purchase support I received from Scott and his team has led me to work with Scott numerous times since then on home leasing, sales and purchase. When someone asks me about finding an architecturally interesting home in Arizona, I always recommend Scott and azarchitecture first.”

Dan Silverman

“Debbie and Scott were fantastic to work with. They have deep knowledge of the local housing market, architecture, and design. They matched us perfectly to a home we love, and have remained a terrific source of ideas about maintenance and improvement of an architecturally distinctive house.”

I like them so much I even bought a Beadle house from them!”

Bret Hobza

Jill Kohler

“azarchitecture/Jarson & Jarson were fantastic. From the first phone contact to the last e-signature, the  customer service was present at each stage of the purchasing process. And to add to the experience, everyone understood what we meant when referencing mid-century and modern. There was no confusion or touring of homes that were contemporary southwest (which is NOT what we wanted). We were seeking modern and we toured just that. And the home we bought is perfect for our family, best location and best price. I highly recommend working with Scott and Debbie.”

“Thank you for the extra-special, pitch-perfect talk you gave our group last week, Scott. I learned so much from your perspective and am amazed at the fluidity with which you wove in information on the Sonoran desert ecosystem, the culture and camaraderie of the community, and the legacy of interesting and pioneering architecture. You are such a pro—thank you for sharing your love of architecture and of the desert with us.”

Jenny Cohen and Joe Garcia

“Debbie and Scott helped us find an investment property and they were invaluable in the process! They were knowledgeable, kind, extremely professional, and gave us great advice during a difficult negotiation.

We can’t thank them enough, and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a REALTOR® and/or property manager.”

Deborah Gilbert

“Three years ago I asked Jarson & Jarson to sell my very unique home in a bad market. Most of the homes around me were selling in foreclosure or short sales. They sold my home way above market value. Thank you so much!”

Michael Liebman

“Selling a home or searching for and/or buying a home with the Jarsons is a wonderful and unique experience. With Scott or Debbie as my REALTOR®, I have always found the home I truly wanted, learned a great deal about architecture and design and about the housing history of Phoenix. They are bright, knowledgeable, trustworthy and so enjoyable… I really can’t imaging buying or selling with anyone but them!”

Stephen Parsons

“I decided to hire Jarson & Jarson to represent me because of their proven track record for selling architecturally significant homes.

Rick Phillips

“Scott Jarson is one of the rare few that have found a way to turn their passion into business. His love and expertise of real estate, particularly in the contemporary design niche, has made him the best choice of agent when choosing a home. I should know, he sold me mine.”

 

 

 

 

Judith Lawson

“I just want you to know how much I appreciated and enjoyed Defining Desert Living. I used it first thing to recap and read after a busy holiday.  The quality of photography, writing and organization was excellent. Thank you very much”

Steve & Victoria Lindley

“Scott and Debbie did a fantastic job of selling our desert home, creating the perfect marketing to emphasize the unique design and detail, advising us on improvements before listing and setting pricing to maximize both interest and value. They brought multiple interested buyers, resulting in full sales price and timing beyond our expectations. Working with Scott, Debbie and their entire team was an absolute pleasure!”

 

 

Alex Lewis

“Kathy [Rios] was extremely easy to work with and she represented our interests while giving us some much needed guidance. We were given more than one offer that on the outside looked the same. Both had secured lending and both were full price! She helped us navigate what offer would be the easiest and fastest to close based on her experience working with the different types and sources of lending they had secured. Did I mention this sale was in the height of the pandemic? She adapted and was ready to show houses in a very questionable environment. Overall, we were very impressed and will be using her in our next adventure of purchasing a new build!”

Karen Buros

“We were “out-of-town” buyers, and Kathy [Rios] happily accommodated our short schedule. We narrowed down the areas around Scottsdale we looked into, and Kathy pulled together a great representative set of homes for us to see. We weren’t necessarily in a hurry to buy, but one of the homes ticked all the boxes. We put the wheels in motion to purchase the home, and then we left town. Kathy efficiently handled all the logistics of the long-distance relationship, culminating in a closing less than 30 days later. Kathy consistently looked after our best interests and stepped in several times to handle issues. We trusted her completely, her communications with us were always honest and open.”

Kathryn Logan

“There are not enough stars to say how highly I would recommend Kathy Rios to help you in the sale or purchase of your home. From our initial meeting to the closing on our property, she went above and beyond. She is extremely knowledgeable about the local real estate market and any time we had an issue with a prospective buyer, she always had a plan B. She handled my out of state home sale. Kathy was so knowledgable about every aspect of our home transaction and that gave me the confidence I needed to make decisions on the sale.”

Cristin & John Saiz

“Kathy Rios has been an invaluable support to our family. She helped us buy and sell homes, and helped us find our forever home. She was excellent in negotiating and also very knowledgeable and there were technical things that we had to deal with. Kathy is very well-connected in Phoenix, and that was helpful when we needed extra support throughout the process of selling our last home. She is efficient, responsive, and the hardest working REALTOR® I’ve ever met. We will be forever thankful for her impact on our family.”

Cindy & Eduardo Hernandez

“I’ve used Kathy Rios now for multiple transactions and have referred her to several friends in the local area! Each time Kathy has done a great job helping us get what we need. Most recently Kathy helped me sell a condo in AZ, while I live in NC. She went over the top in ensuring the place was clean, that repairs were made on time before the sale, etc. She did way more than I would have expected any REALTOR® to do. The sales price was exactly on the $ of what she thought it would be.”

Susan V

“I’ve sold houses before and have never had an agent like Alison Hamlet. Alison creates stellar open houses and uses the highest quality of resources to market your home. Alison is savvy, energetic, honest, and proactive, truly a Mirarcle Worker!”

Erika & Brandon Anderson

“Alison Hamlet doesn’t just talk – She makes it happen! Alison was very knowledgeable
about the differences in architecture of these homes in terms of their resale value. She is
generous and patient.”

Terry & Joe Zbick

“People are afraid of selling or buying Historic homes but Alison Hamlet holds your
hand every step of the way. She throws incredible open houses that generate offers too!”

 

CL

“I feel fortunate to have come upon Alison Hamlet. She came to me as a referral from someone who spoke highly of her. My situation was a bit out of the norm and I was impressed with how she was quick to come up with out of the box ideas. She treated me as though I was her most important client. Alison is a master negotiator and demonstrates an in control demeanor is upbeat and solution-oriented.

Sabrina Nunez

“Looking for someone to do the impossible (like sell your home during Christmas season), or can’t find the ‘right’ home because no one ‘gets’ you? There’s hope! Alison Hamlet is a wonderful, kind, driven, stop-at-nothing, go-getter. She walked our home, had us do some minor changes, staged it and went above and beyond when it came to open houses. You just can’t go wrong with her and we loved working with her.”

The McClure’s

“Alison [Hamlet] has been a wonderful help in assisting in our relocation from out of state and in our current home search. She’s very responsive, has detailed information on each property and always communicates in an incredibly timely manner. She’s an excellent resource of all things local and an incredibly personable agent. I’d highly recommend working with her and her team.”

Frank L.

“In the thirty-plus years in the valley, I have owned 5 homes, so I’ve had a lot of contact with other realtors. For the most part, they represented me in a professional manner. Alison [Hamlet], however has raised the bar. I have the feeling that she worked 24/7 on marketing my home. She kept me informed on what was happening in my neighborhood. I was impressed with the “traffic” she has had through there.”

Connie Loveless

“Kristen Ashhurst handled the sale of my father’s home in Carefree, AZ last year and I can’t tell you how happy we were that she did! She did a wonderful job of “spreading the word” of this lovely home. When an offer came in that was “just not acceptable to our family”, she negotiated a workaround with the bidder such that all parties agreed. We were thrilled with Kristen’s work in every way and certainly intend to use her services again!”

William D. Stockton

“Buying/selling a home can be quite daunting…Kristen Ashhurst is the consummate professional and can put you at ease knowing she has your back when it comes to all the fine details of real estate. Never have I worked with a more dedicated REALTOR® who not only gave sound advice, but listened to my personal requests and needs as well. I highly recommend Kristen when buying or selling your next home.”

Ed and Alice Wojcik

“Kristen Ashhurst is an amazing REALTOR®! She is willing to explore creative avenues in order to get a property bought and sold. Kristen is a pleasure to work with!”

Frank & Wendy LaPallo

“We had been working with another agent for three months, wasting time looking at homes that weren’t right for us.  Scott & Debbie Jarson really listened to what we wanted in a home.  Unlike other agents, we never felt pressured of uncomfortable.

In one week, Debbie found us the Perfect home.  The Jarsons guided us through the details and formalities of the purchase, making it a painless process.  We’ve recommended them to fiends and colleagues and everyone agrees: The Jarsons are really good at what they do!”

Sharyn Tigerstrom

“Trust was very important to me as I had eight hours to find a house in a city that I knew nothing about.  The Jarsons were highly organized and their staff is excellent.  Both were efficient and their follow through on all aspects was one of the best things in dealing with the Jarsons.  I trusted them and would recommend them to others.”

Paul and Robin Coture’

“The Jarsons worked the sale of our house. They didn’t just list it and wait for something to happen… they marketed hard to other brokers and their own clients.  They brought us a fast sale and made sure it appraised as it should.

We purchased our next home from them. They identified what we wanted and only showed us homes within our chosen scope.  This was so valuable to us saving our precious time.  They where available whenever we needed them and associated only with professionals like themselves (Title Company, Home Inspector, etc.).

The best thing about dealing with the Jarsons is their professionalism. Knowledge, fortitude and the ability to make things happen!”

Tom & Charlotte Shuller

“Our property was marketed in a most professional manner.  During that time, magnificent brochures where distributed, several house tours took place and weekly communications occurred advising us of the actions being taken.

Then, during the purchase of our new home, the sellers were considering another offer.  Because of Debbie and Scott’s team approach, sophisticated equipment and sense of urgency, we won!

Debbie and Scott are two wonderful, hard working, talented and dedicated individuals who are a joy to know and a pleasure to work with.”

Dennis & Carole Mortenson

“We felt that we could trust Scott & Debbie with a handshake.   As long as Scott and Debbie Jarson are doing business as Realtors they will be our first and only choice to do business with.  They both go out of their way to help you and answer any questions you might have.  The whole process becomes less confusing when you have a professional on your side.

The Jarsons offer the truest from of customer service with honesty, sincerity and integrity.”

George & Linda Melara

“As we interviewed different real estate agents, Scott & Debbie stood out to us for their ability to understand our goals in selling our house and for grasping our vision for our new home. Scott & Debbie where very professional & helpful.  They made us feel special.”

James Duren

“After deciding to sell my home and move from Phoenix, I searched listings posted by Zillow. For a month I searched Sun City listings until the assistance from Kathy Rios was required. I found her to be professional, as well as personable. She is smart, pleasant and patient. Kathy will answer all your questions and available to your schedule. But, most of all I found her to be honest and honorable to the buyer or seller she represents. To qualify Kathy with five stars is an understatement.”

Jennifer Magness

James & Debra Smallwood

“Kathy Rios is a very pleasant, hard working realtor that puts your needs first. She was always on top of what came available, and getting a list of homes for you to view. Every time we contacted her about a house, she was ready to show us all the houses we were interested in seeing. She helped us find that perfect home in Sun City. She kept us updated on the closing info after we found that home. We highly recommend Kathy to help you find that special home or to sell your home.”

Thomson & Elycia Schaetzel

“Kathy [Rios] listed our house in Sun City West. Our house was a rental, and she worked with our tenant about showing the house. She worked with the Realtors to make sure that everything went well, even though it was an occupied house at the time of the sale. Kathy was enjoyable to work with, she was very helpful, outgoing and prompt. I would work with her again and refer her to others.”

Molly Gum

“Kathy [Rios] was outstanding in every way! We had a leak that flooded the entire downstairs right before closing and Kathy knew exactly what to do to get us back on track. She alleviated our anxiety as well as our buyers’ anxiety and everything finished smoothly. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is experienced, reliable, and dedicated. You will be in excellent hands!”

Jim & Lori Dryburgh

“In all the rush it is good to reflect. It’s been a journey and you and your team have done fabulous work with staging, pictures and promotion. This is EXACTLY why we knew you were right for us and this house! You have made the retreat look and feel fantastic and have captured the amazingness of our HOME! Thank you Alison [Hamlet] and your exceptional team.”

Elvia Castaneda

“Alison [Hamlet] was a Godsend. She was referred by a friend and couldn’t be a better person. She knows and loves what she does. I am a first-time buyer and had no idea what to do. Alison is great! She answered all my questions right away and guided me and my son through the whole process. She really made it easy for us. She’s energetic, positive and has such a lovely attitude. We found our home and she got it closed, signed and delivered in five weeks! She rocks! That’s a true professional and friend.”

Don

“I recommend Alison Hamlet without reservation to handle your real estate marketing and sales. I have worked closely with Alison for over 8 years. She is efficient, hard-working, dependable, and creative. Along with her photographer, Alison created a very dramatic video that displayed my home in a fantastic way. My sale is taking place at this time and the visits by possible buyers have been great. I expect a favorable sale very soon.”

Dr. Sumediah N.

“Coming from Toronto; one of the most diverse cities in the world, I was apprehensive moving to a less diverse place. My realtor – Alison [Hamlet] was the first person I met and she made my experience of looking for a house my best experience. She held my hand and walked with me every step until I got a house and settled in it. I felt as if she was family and her happiness depended on my happiness.”

Tyler V.

“Monica [Holtzhauer] is AMAZING! She stuck with us for over a year while we searched for the perfect home. She is extremely knowledgable about the AZ market and sticks by her clients throughout the whole process, keeping you informed and offering excellent advice! We went back to her to sell our home in 2016 and once again, she did a knock-out job getting us top dollar and being there for at every moment.”

Rebecca P.

“Monica [Holtzhauer] paid great attention to our personal tastes. She honed in on our preferences, to the extent our time was not wasted in trying to find our perfect home for us. We’ve bought & sold several homes; we can honestly testify that Monica is the best professional we’ve worked with on our recent home purchase. Unlike the many others we’ve dealt with, we will seek Monica’s guidance in the future.”

Cindy & Al Shingler

“We were looking to purchase a home in Arizona while living in Ohio. The first day we spoke on the phone Monica [Holtzhauer] was so much help to us. She listened so well and the first set of homes she sent us were exactly our vision of our new home. She worked extremely hard to make sure we got the best price, she is amazing, we found the perfect home.”

David N.

“I was completely satisfied with all aspects with the sale of my home. Being an out of state owner [from Wisconsin] I had to rely totally on Monica [Holtzhauer] to make quick decisions on my behalf. Always keeping me informed by phone, text, or email. To say the least, I was impressed with the ease of the sale and never having to fly to Phoenix.”

“Since I am in Texas, and the home was in Arizona, I could not have had anyone any better because she took care of so many things that I was not able to do. She was always available by phone or text, which is very important when you are out of state. Kathy was always pleasant and worked hard to help me complete my goal of selling in a certain time frame. Kathy Rios made my experience of selling a very successful and important experience. I would not hesitate to recommend Ms. Rios, anytime, anywhere!”

The Shoops Family

“Very satisfied with Kathy [Rios] throughout the entire process of purchasing our new home! The home we purchased is in a different state than we reside, and therefore Kathy would go view homes alone and set up a Skype session for viewing (Gotta love technology). She is very thorough and all about her clients.”

Stephen Pirro

“From the start Kathy [Rios] has shown her true professionalism, knowledge of the market, access to potential buyers/renters, and overall dedication to her clients. Kathy assisted me in the rental of my Sun City property, and her knowledge of the Sun City area and its clientele made all the difference. If you are looking for a realtor, especially in the Sun City area, Kathy is definitely your best choice. I would employ her services again in a heart beat. She has gone over and above as a realtor.”

Erica Farnsworth

“Kathy [Rios] went over and beyond for us. She tried several open houses and strategies to sell our house. We needed to sell fast and she made that very possible for us with different options of buyers. We appreciate her hard work and all the details to make it possible to sell our rental. I highly recommend her to represent you in selling your home.”

Terry Carlson

“Kathy [Rios] was awesome from beginning to end. She was detail-oriented and customer-focused beyond our expectations. From showing us houses to making offer to walking us through the closing figures and signing process. I couldn’t recommend a better person to trust with the process of finding and buying you perfect home.”

She was able to get me info on all the places that fit my criteria and I never felt like any viewing was a waste of time. She knows the market well and was always able to get me the information I requested promptly. She also referred me to great mortgage lenders and everyone else we needed to buy our home.

Anne Hughes

“How lucky I was, that Kathy Rios answered the phone, the day I called on a property in Sun City! From the moment we met, until the day the contract was signed, her level of attention to details and thorough understanding of all real estate considerations, give her an A+ in her field of expertise. Kathy is incredibly organized and offers a complete package of information, both positive and negative aspects of each property, making sure you have all the information you need to make a solid decision on your major home purchase. I have honestly never worked with any other professional with such high work ethics. It was truly a pleasure to work with Kathy and I would do it again in a heartbeat.”

Beyond that, she is kind and a joy to be around. She made the process of selling our home and purchasing a new one as stress free as possible. She was always there when we needed her and went above and beyond to help us. Kathy Rios is #1 in our eyes and we recommend her without hesitation.”

“We had a great experience with Kathy Rios. Finding the right realtor could be challenging. I kind of stumbled upon her after being contacted with cash offers. She got right to work and provided us data comparisons in the neighborhood and then once we decided to sell, she directed us to the handyman and cleaning staff to get our rental ready to list. We had a contract within 13 days and closed in a little over a month from listing. She was confident with our listing price from the very first time we discussed selling with her. She took a lot of the legwork off of our schedule and put the house on the market in perfect time. We highly recommend Kathy to be your realtor.”

Greg & Lorraine Martelli

“Kathy [Rios] was our selling agent for us on an investment home in Phoenix. She did an outstanding job – negotiating the best terms with buyers and their agent with complete professionalism. Kathy took care of all the details, advising us on best ways to present the property, getting repairs organized via her network and staging the property herself! Living out of state, Kathy gave us peace of mind knowing everything would be taken care of with confidence.”

Robert Hornedo & Margaret Holland

“I highly recommend Kathy [Rios]. On our first meeting she came prepared with comparables and a list of referrals. Kathy is a smart business woman who knows her field very well. Not pushy, very informative and helpful. She sold our condo quickly without any issues.”

Vernon & Betty Walker

“Kathy [Rios] is one of the hardest working real estate agents I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Kathy held multiple open houses, mailed out 1500 postcards to our neighborhood, put the house on 2 separate home tours, and really helped guide us in putting new stainless steel appliances and epoxy coating in the garage floor. Those changes helped us to get the house sold. We look forward to working with Kathy on our next Real estate endeavor!”

Sharon Thorsby

Thank you Kathy for all you did for us so tirelessly!”

“I live in Chicago, and was selling my condo in Sun City, AZ. Kathy [Rios] took care of everything, including small repairs, deep cleaning, and new carpeting. I knew that even though I was hundreds of miles away, I didn’t have to be there to get top-quality service. Kathy was very responsive to all questions, emails and texts. She worked very hard, and I highly recommend her.”

Charles & Diane Wenzel

“Excellent! [Kathy Rios] understood my wish list & helped find the perfect home. I contacted her through an Zillow search online & the connection could not have been better.

My fiancé and I were first time home buyers and were clueless on what to expect, but she has a wealth of knowledge and a network of focused, dedicated contacts that got us through the process faster than we could have hoped for. Kathy has an honest and colloquial demeanor that always made us feel as though she was on our team to get the best home for us, without ever being pushy. In summation, definitely go with Kathy!”

Jeff & Jessica

“Clay [Olsen] really took the time to understand our needs and cared enough to find a property that fit our budget. As a first time buyers and newlyweds, his concern was for our financial future rather than his commission. Our town-home has since doubled in value and we are so grateful for his selfless service to our young family.”

A.C.

“Clay [Olsen] has been our family agent for the past 3 years and our “go-to” for anything real estate related. He has helped us buy and sell multiple properties, often selling for more than asking price! His negotiating skills helped us numerous times save thousands of dollars at closing.”

Paul & Kimberley
