I rebuilt the plane while flying it.

That may be the best way I can describe 2026.

My word for the year was Ex*****on, and this year asked for a lot of it.

We rebuilt our website.
Completely reworked our marketing and social media.
Expanded the Hômanity brand.
Strengthened the team.
Trained Jorge into a much bigger operational role.
Let go of what was no longer working.
Deepened relationships across the Sotheby’s network.
And kept serving clients and closing deals through all of it.

There were days when it felt like everything was changing at once.

Because it was.

But looking back, I’m proud of what we built, what we finished, and maybe most importantly, what we were willing to leave behind.

The rest of 2026 isn’t about adding more.

It’s about finishing what we started.

And maybe landing the plane. ✈️

Residence #657 at The Landmark at Kierland is officially "Sale Pending"!

With almost 4,000 square feet of single-level living, golf course views, generous outdoor space and a truly lock-and-leave lifestyle, #657 offered something increasingly difficult to find in Scottsdale: the scale and comfort of a substantial home without all the maintenance that typically comes with it.

And then there’s the location.

Kierland Commons and Scottsdale Quarter just outside the gates. Golf, dining, shopping and resort amenities all within easy reach. It’s a lifestyle that continues to resonate with buyers looking to simplify without compromising how they live.
We still have work to do before the keys change hands, but reaching this point is always worth celebrating. ❤️

The Landmark at Kierland | Residence #657

Sale Pending

Thinking about buying or selling at The Landmark, Kierland or elsewhere in Scottsdale? I’m always happy to share what we’re seeing in the market and help you understand your options.

Turns out, simply showing up was enough.

A few mornings ago, at the beginning of GNE in San Francisco, I wrote about something I was feeling.

Excitement. A little dread.

More than 3,000 Sotheby’s International Realty colleagues from around the world had gathered in one city, and I found myself wondering:

Am I meeting enough people?
Am I going to the right things?
Am I making the most of this?
So I made myself a promise.
Simply show up.

Be present. Be curious. Listen. Learn.

Reconnect with old friends. Make some new ones. Stop worrying about collecting contacts and start connecting with people.

And then something pretty wonderful happened.

There were conversations I never could have planned. Old friendships grew deeper. New ones began. There was laughter, learning, late nights, extraordinary generosity, a few emotional moments, and constant reminders of just how special this global Sotheby’s family really is.

I came home with something much more valuable than a stack of new contacts.
I came home full.

Full of gratitude.
Full of ideas.
Full of affection for people I rarely get to see.

Full of appreciation for this extraordinary brand and the people around the world who bring it to life.

And maybe most importantly, a little more convinced that I’m finding my way toward the kind of life and business I actually want to build.

One where relationships aren’t the strategy.

hey’re the point.

GNE 2026, you were a lot. 😂

And I loved you.

To everyone I hugged, laughed with, learned from, shared a meal with, danced with, sat beside, met for the first time or somehow missed in the beautiful chaos...

Thank you. ❤️

Until we simply show up together again.

YOUR SCOTTSDALE SEASON STARTS HERE. ☀️

There’s a certain point in the year when Scottsdale starts calling.
The weather changes. Patios fill up. Golf season gets underway. Friends start arriving. And suddenly, spending more time in Arizona sounds like a very good idea.

Residence #208 at Ascent at The Phoenician makes that pretty easy.

Beautifully finished and move-in ready, this sophisticated lock-and-leave residence offers expansive glass, a Bulthaup kitchen, generous indoor-outdoor living and a covered terrace overlooking the Papagos and McDowells.

Then there’s everything outside your front door: concierge service, the private Mountain Club at Ascent with its resort pool, fitness and social spaces, and the extraordinary setting of The Phoenician.

Minutes from Old Town Scottsdale, exceptional dining, shopping, golf and everything that makes this part of Arizona such a remarkable place to live.

Our clients loved Ascent so much they purchased a larger residence and made Arizona their primary home.
Now #208 is ready for its next chapter.

Ascent at The Phoenician | Residence #208
Now offered at $3,195,000

Maybe Scottsdale becomes your primary home. Maybe it’s your winter escape. Or maybe you’ve simply decided you’d like to spend more of your life here.

Either way, your Scottsdale season could start right here. ❤️

SIMPLY SHOW UP.

It’s 5:30 in the morning in San Francisco, and I’ve been thinking about something.

I’m here for the Sotheby’s International Realty Global Networking Event, surrounded by more than 3,000 colleagues from around the world.

And I’m excited.

I’m also a little overwhelmed.

And, if I’m being completely transparent, there’s a little insecurity mixed in there too.

Am I meeting enough people? Am I going to the right things? Am I making the most of this opportunity? Am I “networking” enough?

I’ve had enough pre-conversations with friends and colleagues here to know I’m not the only person feeling some version of this.

There’s an understandable energy around an event like this. Thousands of accomplished people. Relationships to build. Referral partners to meet. Parties, dinners, side events, introductions and four very full days to somehow make it all count.

And this morning I realized something.

I don’t want to spend these four days trying to make them count.

I want to experience them.

I want to reconnect with people I care about. Meet people I don’t know yet. Sit next to someone and become interested in their story before wondering what market they serve.

I want to listen. I want to learn. And mostly, I want to be present.

Over the past year, I’ve been thinking a lot about what I want the next chapter of my work - and my life - to look like.

I’ve stripped some things away. I’ve added others. I’ve asked myself harder questions about what belongs and what doesn’t.

And increasingly, I keep coming back to the same thing:

Build something so deeply aligned with who you are that simply showing up becomes the work.

Not showing up with an agenda. Showing up with curiosity.

Not collecting people. Connecting with them.

Not wondering what someone might be able to do for my business. Wondering who they are.

And trusting that when people who genuinely care about people find one another, the business has a funny way of taking care of itself.

So that’s my GNE “strategy”.

Simply show up.

And see who I meet.

🌎 San Francisco bound!

October 3–8, I’ll be joining Sotheby’s International Realty colleagues from around the world for our Global Networking Event in San Francisco.

This is one of my favorite things about being part of Sotheby’s International Realty: the relationships.

I’ll be connecting face-to-face with some of the best of the best in luxury real estate from across the U.S. and around the globe—sharing ideas, strengthening relationships, and expanding the network I can put to work for my clients.

Because real estate may be local, but the right buyer, seller, opportunity—or connection—can come from anywhere.

Scottsdale → San Francisco → the world. 🌎

“Never afraid to tell me the truth, but always follow with, ‘This is what I recommend you do.’” ❤️

That may be one of my favorite things a client has ever said about how we work.

Alan & Tracy just closed on 5844 E Covey Lane, his second transaction with our team, and he was kind enough to share this:

“This is the 2nd transaction I did with Brad's team. Exceptional team - customer focused, solution oriented, patient, responsive and never afraid to tell me the truth but always follow with ‘this is what I recommend you do’. Even under a not so seller's market, Brad's team sold my property at a very reasonable price. I wouldn't trust anyone else other than Brad's team in taking care of my property transactions.”

That means a lot.

Because telling a client what they want to hear is easy.

The responsibility of an advisor is to tell them what you believe they need to hear - and then not leave them standing there wondering what to do next.

Here’s what I see.
Here’s what it means.
Here’s what I recommend we do.

Sometimes the answer is easy. Sometimes it isn’t. But the relationship has to be built on enough trust to have those conversations.

Alan trusted us with his property again.
That may be the best review of all. ❤️

Thank you, Alan & Tracy

SEVEN DAYS. START TO FINISH. 🥂
Last Monday morning started with a showing request.

8:15 AM — Showing requested.

9:15 AM — Buyer walked through the door.

10:30 AM — Cash offer received.

No inspections.

Seven days later — CLOSED.

That’s real estate.

In a market where buyers have plenty of choices, you never know when the right person is going to walk through the door.

Our job was to keep 5844 E Covey Lane positioned, visible and ready for that moment.

And when it came, things moved quickly.
One showing.
One cash offer.
No inspection period.
Seven days from showing to closing.

Congratulations to our seller — 5844 E Covey Lane is officially CLOSED. 🥂

Sometimes patience is part of the strategy.

And sometimes, after all that patience, everything happens in a week. 😂

See what we’re working on next at HomanityTeam.com.

YOUR SCOTTSDALE SEASON STARTS HERE. ☀️

As Arizona moves into one of its most beautiful times of year, there’s a new opportunity to experience life at Ascent at The Phoenician.

Mountainside Residence 208 is now offered at $3,195,000.

Beautifully finished and move-in ready, this home offers something increasingly valuable: the ability to enjoy an exceptional Scottsdale lifestyle without all the work that often comes with it.

Expansive glass. A Bulthaup kitchen. A generous covered terrace with views toward the Papagos and McDowells. Concierge service. And the private Mountain Club at Ascent, with its resort pool, fitness and movement spaces, social areas and more.

All within the guard-gated setting of The Phoenician and minutes from the restaurants, shopping, golf and experiences that make Scottsdale such an extraordinary place to call hôme.

There’s a reason our clients fell in love with Ascent. They loved the lifestyle so much that they purchased a larger residence and made Arizona their primary home.

Now Residence 208 creates that opportunity for someone else. ❤️

Whether Scottsdale is becoming your primary home, your winter escape, or simply the place you want to spend more of your life, this may be the moment to make it happen.

Mounatinside Residence 208 | $3,195,000
