Scottsdale & Greater Phoenix
From Old Town to the McDowell Sonoran Preserve — with an advisor who also knows the Colorado side of the move.
Back in the Valley, with Colorado experience
Nicholas studied at Arizona State University in Tempe before building his career in Colorado. Today he works from Compass’s Scottsdale office on Marshall Way in Old Town, holding an Arizona license and ARMLS membership alongside his Colorado practice.
Much of the movement between these two markets runs in both directions: Colorado owners adding a winter residence in Scottsdale or Paradise Valley, Valley residents buying a mountain or Front Range home, and buyers relocating outright. Working with one advisor across both sides keeps timing, financing and sale-and-purchase sequencing coordinated.
Every active Arizona listing can be searched on compass.com; when something looks right, Nicholas handles the tour, the research and the negotiation.

What to know before buying in the Valley
The calendar is inverted
Arizona’s busiest season runs from roughly January through April, when seasonal buyers are in town. Summer listings face fewer buyers but also less competition.
HOAs and clubs
Many Scottsdale communities carry HOA dues and optional or mandatory club memberships. Understanding those costs — and transfer fees — is part of comparing homes fairly.
Lock-and-leave
For second-home owners, desert landscaping, pool service, monsoon readiness and HVAC maintenance matter as much as the floor plan.
