Congratulations Team Glassman Buyers & Sellers - Q1 & Q2 2022

Kathy & Steve Kopack are past clients who decided to take advantage of the seller’s market and sell their investment property in Scottsdale. After much research they decided not to list with OpenDoor. We put the home on the market and they got a great buyer and great price for their home. Congrats, Kathy & Steve. 



Alex Harrison & Jacob DeSanti were referred to Team Glassman by a past client, Alex’s mom. They were just about to get married and a baby was on the way so we wanted to find them a great home quickly. We navigated the seller’s market and found them the perfect home in North Phoenix. We were so happy to help them and be part of their next chapter in life.




Debbie Buxer Cohen is a friend of mine from when we were kids and I was so excited when she called me to say she was moving back to Phoenix from LA. She and her two boys spent a couple of years in transition through COVID and this year they finally landed in their own home. Congrats Debbie….I am so glad you are settled here in Phoenix.




Shane & Silviano Blan-Hone were referred to Team Glassman by a past client and long-time friend who is a realtor in Park City, Utah. Shane & Silviano relocated to Scottsdale for Shane’s new job with Banner Thunderbird Medical Center. We enjoyed showing homes with their two cute pups and they found a great condo in McCormick Ranch. Silviano is now redecorating between working for Delta Air as a flight attendant. The two of them work and travel - they truly enjoy life and we love being a part of it!




John & Nick Hurst are past clients who bought a home in North Central Phoenix in 2020. John was practicing law in Phoenix and Nick worked for Phoenix Children’s Hospital. Soon thereafter, Nick received the opportunity to work on contract with different hospitals throughout the country. John and Nick assessed their life and realized they could sell their big home in Phoenix(they sold for $100K more than list price) and plant themselves on the East Coast. They travel between contracts and are really living it up! Congrats John & Nick. 




Congratulations to Arturo Zavaleta Marin & Dora Delgadillo Avilo for buying their first home in the US. Arturo and Dora’s 3 daughters helped their parents relocate from Peru to Sun City and now the family is all together (minus one daughter who lives in Germany). One of the daughters is a past client and when the girls decide to move mom and dad, they immediately called Team Glassman. We were invited to their house-warming party where we got to participate in great Peruvian traditions (ask Sammy to show you the video) and eat amazing Peruvian food. It was so awesome to be a part of this once-in-a-lifetime event.




Heather Asbell was referred to Team Glassman by a college friend of Sammy’s and realtor in Jackson, WY. Heather was ready to sell her investment property in Jackson and 1031 over to a new property in Scottsdale. After some searching we found a great home in South Scottsdale. The market was VERY competitive and we found a home listed by agent with whom we have worked in the past. We called, negotiated and we won the contract out of multiple offers. Heather is now bringing in passive income from her short-term rental in South Scottsdale. If you need a place to stay, let us know and we will send you the address - it is a great home! 




Sammy met Luke Rogers a couple years ago at an open house she was sitting with a colleague. We stayed in touch and this year he decided it was time to buy a home. He found a beautifully remodeled home in McCormick Ranch and, with the help of his parents, it is now his! We got to know Luke and his parents throughout the transaction and we are really impressed with them and their relationship with one another. Congratulations, Luke! 




Jennifer Understahl and Rich Webb were referred to Team Glassman by a close friend. Jennifer and Rich were renting a home in Scottsdale and they were ready to buy a home and settle in. They started looking on their own and trying to navigate the sellers’ market and were getting frustrated when they were losing homes. They decided to work with us and it took 3 tries but we finally got them under contract on the perfect home for them. We worked with The Budwig Team, with whom we have worked in the past, and it was a smooth transaction. Working with great agents and awesome buyers makes a huge difference. Congrats to Jennifer and Rich! 




Joe & Ashley Renie were referred to Team Glassman by our corporate partner at Discount Tire. Joe was already here in Phoenix working and Ashley and their boys were back in Kentucky. It took several showings, a few offers and a lot of research before we found them the perfect home in Lone Mountain in Scottsdale. Joe & I were the first in the open house and we asked the listing agent, “what would it take to get this home under contract today?!” We immediately submitted an offer and Sammy negotiated from the back row of a wedding that night. We got it done that day and Ashley had only seen the home on FaceTime. A few weeks later she arrived and saw the home in person and loved it! They are all moved in and loving their new home and community!



Michelle & Ben Davis are past clients and Team Glassman has helped them buy/sell 3 homes in total. Michelle and Ben had quite the journey building a new home in Laveen during a period of delays, backorders and moving deadlines. There was quite a bit of frustration but we helped them through it - we are therapists and realtors! Now Michelle and Ben have moved into their new home and are building a life in a community they love. We continue to remain close friends and we are so happy for them.



Sean & Krystin Watson and their daughter Gwen relocated to Phoenix for Sean’s medical residency at Mayo Hospital. It was important to find them a good home as Sean is studying neurology which is a 7-year residency! They had their sights set on McCormick Ranch, but unfortunately the market had priced them out. We kept them close to a freeway and they now live in a beautiful home in Peoria. We enjoy the friendship and ongoing photo updates of Gwen - the cutest baby ever! 




Chase & Jessica Lazenby relocated back to the Phoenix Area after Chase finished his medical training. He is now a full-time practicing physician and they moved to Eastmark in Mesa to be near family. Chase grew up in Awhatukee and is now glad to be raising his kids in near their grandparents. Chase & Jessica bought a spec home from Ashton Woods and the process was mostly smooth. They were using a physician loan and mid-escrow the loan was pulled from the lender. We quickly moved the loan to Key Bank and Evan got the loan closed in 2 weeks! It was stressful but our team made it happen. Thank you Team Glassman and congrats to the Lazenby family. 




Jenny Doyle was referred to Team Glassman by a past client because she was relocating from Kansas City, MO to Phoenix for a new job. The market had softened and Jenny relied on Team Glassman to recommend a home and negotiate the best price for her - her purchase was the first contract we wrote under list price in 2 years! Jenny previewed neighborhoods and properties via FaceTime and didn’t see the home she bought in person until after close! We were so relieved to see her so happy when she walked through the front door for the first time! Phew. Congrats, Jenny!




Ally is a long-time friend of Karaline’s and previous boss. Ally and Karaline had developed a relationship such that when Ally needed a new home, she didn’t hesitate to call Karaline and Team Glassman. Ally and her family were living in a rental property with a difficult landlord - it was time to own! After losing out on properties selling quickly and over her budget, she felt defeated. Ultimately Karaline was able to negotiate a deal $83K under initial list price and within her budget. This five bedroom, four bath house is now home to this beautiful family of six. There were some hoops to jump through, but with Team Glassman and an awesome lender, we were able to get Ally and her family into their home - and now landlords are history. Congrats, Ally.
