"Mr. Messinghams method/skill of pricing and negotiating resulted in selling my property for more than I thought market conditions warranted, he knows when to hold and when to fold. Additionally, he was able to list my property very quickly and he expertly guided me through every step despite being handicapped by my out-of-state relocation. I feel he did an outstanding job of looking out for his client!"

"I've bought and sold quite a few properties, but the transaction we just completed with Sprit as the listing agent was by far the smoothest to date. That's saying a lot considering I was out of state the entire transaction and Spirit handled all the arrangements for quotes and repairs which took a lot of weight off my shoulders. Spirit is also a master negotiator, which is crucial in getting the most out of your investment. I have no doubt that no other realtor could have handled the transaction better or could have gotten us a better return on our investment. Wish we could clone Sprit so he could represent us in every state we buy and sell real estate in."

"Spirit Messingham took over the listing after another agent had the listing for 7 weeks. The first agent had very few viewers and NO offers. Spirit had the property sold in two weeks. Spirit understands the market and the pricing. I highly recommend him."
-Dick29, Client
"I contacted Spirit to ask if he would be interested in helping my wife and I in exploring Tucson and the real estate market. I explained right away that we weren't sure we were ready to buy but wanted to get to know Tucson. Spirit told me he understood and couldn't have been more helpful. He showed us several properties and gave us a tour of Tucson. He knows Tucson and the real estate market extremely well. If we decide to take the plunge we will definitely use Spirit. I highly recommend him."
-Jamesemcm, Client
"Spirit is very professional. Every time I called or texted him, I was talking with him and not a secretary or a team. I got my answers immediately. He said he was going to give us an update every Friday - and he did. He dealt with the clients and found us a buyer in a matter of days, and took all the work out of our hands. We will use him again."
-theone 72, Client
"Our experience was somewhat unique in that we were out of state buyers, did not know anyone in the area and purchased virtually before seeing it in person-all during a pandemic! Spirit was amazing and helped us every step of the way. We trusted his guidance and opinions. Spirit always got back to us timely and stayed on top of things even though everything was handled via phone or email. Spirit is an expert and knows his stuff, we would use him again and recommend him. I found him on Zillow and first read reviews and the 5 star reviews are accurate. Thank you Spirit!"
-bmfry2007, Client
"Spirit was knowledge about the area of our home, letting others know it is up and coming. He was consistently professional during the entire process, making sure everyone followed within their given guidelines. He was very responsive, mostly within minutes, even when it was known he was busy with other things. He went above and beyond to highlight the features of our home in order to help sell it at a great price."
-Amy M., Client
"Spirit really helped us sell our house quickly. We listed our home with one of the leading companies and had zero.... that’s right ZERO showing on our move-in ready, desirable home after almost 6 weeks[...]We decided this company wasn’t working FOR us and met with Spirit after coming highly recommended by a close friend. Before our house was even back on the market, Spirit had shown it and in the first week we had 4 showings. This occurred over the holidays and we didn’t expect much but while Spirit was out of town, we were very pleased that his colleagues felt we should have an open house for the whole weekend, and we didn’t even have to ask. Spirit really worked with us and FOR us to get our home sold. Within a couple weeks, we’d had over 25 showings and 3 offers. My only regret is that I hadn’t found Spirit and his team earlier so we could have sold our house quicker. Spirit is professional and works hard for his clients. "
-user1215408, Client
"My wife and I used Spirit to sell our house in midtown (Pima and Alvernon). We were beyond satisfied with the results! Throughout the process he guided us on what steps would be work taking and what wouldn’t. He was always available for questions and kept us constantly updated on progress. During the negotiation process, he provided prompt, expert advice. Finally, when the title agency failed to be responsive on the eve of closing, Spirit stepped in to make sure everything went smoothly. I would (and have) recommend Spirit for anyone’s real estate needs."
-J T Walters3, Client
"Spirit not only offers years of experience, but a lot of tranquility for a stressful process. His expertise with the areas and market provide a BIG relief that truly makes for a great relationship. You need someone you can trust and help guide you through the process and there is no one better. He helped keep us in the area we preferred (Central), knew the neighborhood and school districts well."
-Crys L., Client
"I have bought and sold 5 homes in 4 states over 40+ years and Spirit provided service at an unparalleled high level. He clearly knows the Tucson market very well. His knowledge of the entire buying and selling process is remarkable. He's an effective listener and stands out particularly for the speed of his responses to inquiries. Spirit offers valuable information without wandering into providing unsolicited advice. My recommendation comes with no reservations or qualifications."
-dagmfg6, Client
"Spirit listed my home for sale and advised me as to what I needed to do to get it ready for sale, what the proper listing price should be and what to expect along every step of the way. We sold the home quickly and for a great price and most importantly, Spirit kept me informed throughout the process. I felt I was fully represented and as if I was his number one priority. Selling a house can be very stressful and he made it practically stress free. I will recommend him to anyone who needs a realtor, and if I ever buy or sell again, I am sure I would want him to represent me."
-Sharon B., Client
"We needed to use Spirit to assist us with purchasing a home in Tucson where our son will be living for college. Spirit’s knowledge of the area was excellent as was his understanding that safety would be paramount. He was able to guide us through the process and away from potential problems. I would definitely recommend him."
-ccarothers86, Client
"I would highly recommend Spirit to anyone buying a home. He is always available to help with any questions or concerns despite his busy schedule. The whole process of buying our new home from start to finish went smoothly not only because of Spirit's attention to detail but also because of the people he recommended from the home inspector to the loan company. Everyone was on top of their game and made the whole process easy."
-gbs pc, Client
"Spirit's knowledge and experience proved to be invaluable during the home buying process. As a first time home buyer, I was unsure of many of the steps associated with it. Spirit did an outstanding job not only of explaining each step, but making me feel at ease. I would not hesitate to recommend Spirit to any one looking to buy/sell a home!"
-Drew R., Client
"I would wholeheartedly recommend Spirit to anyone looking to buy a home in Tucson. It didn't take long for Spirit to understand exactly what I was looking for and narrow down the search accordingly. The real estate market in Tucson is currently booming and we knew if we found one that fit my needs, that we would need to act fast. He shared with me a listing of a home that he knew fit all my requirements. We put an offer within just a few hours of the home being on the market, and even though we ran into a multi-offer situation, Spirit made sure that, within reason, we made the best choices to ensure I would get the house. From there, the entire process was a breeze. Spirit is extremely knowledgeable (for the most part I feel he could probably do the various home inspections himself better than the experts) and I couldn't have asked for a better experience."
-Vero B., Client
"Spirit is a responsive, knowledgeable, resourceful and very personable realtor. As first-time home buyers, we appreciated his frankness, patience, and particularly the time he took to carefully walk us through the process and to answer all of our questions. We felt confident and comfortable going into the transaction under his guidance and learnt a lot from him in the process."
-aazaz, Client
"We really lucked out getting Spirit’s help with our search for a house in Tucson. His local knowledge was extremely helpful as we really know nothing about the area. He showed us a number of houses on very short notice. His expertise is amazing.
When we are ready to purchase a home in Tucson, we will definitely want Spirit as our realtor!"
-user5684231, Client
"Spirit is the best Agent! He has so much knowledge, depth and experience which allows him to make detailed suggestions on how to handle the ever changing Tucson market. Buying a house is a stressful process combined with us being from another state really kicked it up a notch. Spirit's wonderful and calm personality was helpful for us with all our questions and decision making. He also has fantastic industry connections we relied on to give us insight into what issues were troublesome and how to deal with other areas of concern.
We are so glad we chose Spirit to represent us. You will be too!"
-zuser20140608202726170, Client
"Spirit is a true real estate professional. He made the whole buying process pain free and easy. His knowledge of the central Tucson area is above and beyond the rest. Thank you!!!"
-44mcallister, Client
"Spirit is who you want as your realtor. He is beyond knowledgable of all things real estate from market trends; buying and selling best practices; to laws and regulations. I cannot emphasize enough the level of integrity Spirit brings to his work.
He has been exceptionally generous with his time and knowledge, helping me through each step of the process as a first time home sale. He made me feel like I was his only client: caring, responsive, and proactive.
Spirit’s network of professionals further made what can be a stressful and complex process feel smooth and efficient. And, he sold my house in two days!
Spirit brings the ideal balance of integrity, competitive nature, strong work ethic, and genuine care and compassion to his work. He is a pleasure to work with and be around, and his success speaks for itself."
-Jennifer W., Client
"This is the second time we have used Spirit. He works hard to give you what you need. It it very rare to find that. He is definitely the best agent out there!"
-Sattie E., Client
"I highly recommend Spirit as an experienced Tucson-area realtor. I have used him to both sell a home and buy a home and both experiences were seamless. He has great knowledge of local neighborhoods and is an aggressive advocate for his clients, whether as a buyer or a seller!"
-Aaron R., Client
"We just closed on a house in Tucson with Spirit. We are out of state investors and needed someone with experience and great knowledge of the area to guide us through the process. In Spirit we found exactly that. He was very helpful and did his best to understand our needs and find the home that we were looking for. We definitely recommend him and we'll use him for our next purchase."
-Anton S., Client
"Spirit was such a blessing for us! He guided us through what it was our first selling, and the entire process was super smooth. He is very knowledgeable, attentive, and extremely fast at responding. He really goes that extra mile to make sure his clients are happy and free from worries. We would re-hire him a million more times"
-Francesca P., Client
"Spirit is a very detailed and professional realtor. My wife and I presented Spirit with a very complicated set of circumstances, an estate sale with a tight time schedule, the sale of every thing we own, and moving out of the country. Spirit pulled all of this together and sold the house without a hickup in less than a month. Spirit’s team provided a marketing plan including professional grade drone video of our property, house pictures, and an up-dated floor plan drawing that showed we actually had an additional 60 square feet of interior space. Spirit’s knowledge of the Tucson real estate market, and excellent communication skill set made us feel very comfortable and he was always available for any question that we had. Our family would highly recommend Spirit."
-jwsherlock52, Client
"Spirit is a GEM. We are so grateful to have had his help, guidance and support during our home buying process. We bought a house, sight unseen and 1,500 miles away during a global pandemic, and felt confident doing so thanks to him. Spirit knows Tucson and will give it to you straight. He will help you find the absolute best option out there within your perimeters. His wonderful relationships with other realtors, lenders and contractors is impressive. Due to who he is and how he conducts business with such integrity, we were able to get our perfect place. Even in a hot real estate market. I only wish there were many more stars that I could leave for Spirit. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a superhero cape. You'll see what I mean."

Local knowledge
Process expertise
Responsiveness
Negotiation skills
I am a first time home buyer. I never thought owning a home was a possibility for me due to student loans and being a single woman. Spirit helped me to believe in myself and became not only a trustworthy relator, but also a friend who helped me through this process.
I had zero knowledge when it came to buying a home and Spirit graciously, patiently, and professional walked me through, step by step. He was incredibly proactive in finding homes that he knew would fit my budget and lifestyle.
Spirit is not only an expert in his field but is passionate about helping people. Buying a home for me is an incredible investment and will help me financially for years to come; I could have never done this with out his help. Spirit has been such a blessing!"
-Leigh Anne D., Client
"If you are looking for a hardworking, knowledgeable and seasoned realtor, Spirit is your man! My experience with him was top notch!

He knows the ever-changing market and works hard to get you top dollar. Spirit is a true professional! Thank you Spirit!"

-Ryan B., Client
"It has been a long process but finally was able to buy a home. I was fortunate to have an expert and seasoned realtor along the way with me
which made it easier and more tolerable. Spirit Messingham is one of the best people for the job. He is in your corner, knows his stuff top to bottom, and has a way of reminding you to keep your eye on the prize and be realistic. He does his best to make it happen for you. Highly recommend. Bat mobile comes with him."
-sfmvodo, Client
"A a few years ago Spirit had helped me find my first home and was fantastic! When it came time to sell he was the only realtor I had ever considered. He had my home under contract in two days after only one showing! Spirit has extensive knowledge and experience in real estate and will take his time to explain how the process works and answer any questions, no matter how trivial they might seem. He has excellent working relationships with other realtors which has defintley helped streamline the whole process. Spirit has been my realtor for a total of three transactions: buying my first home, selling my first home, and buying my second home. All three have been as painless as possible as that is due to Spirit’s knowledge, organization, and communication. My experience with Spirit has shown me that he is a man of integrity with a passion for real estate."
-mtbgunner, Client
"Spirit is the real deal. You don't have to look any further...call him immediately if you are buying or selling a home. Spirit helped us sell our home that had been listed for awhile and we began to think was unsellable.
Pros: 1. He has sold tons of homes, which means he has immense experience and expertise. This is invaluable. You need a realtor who knows the market, neighborhood, homes, what works and what doesn't. 2. He will be straight with you. He's super likable and a great person, and at the same time will be truthful regarding your home and what you need to do. I appreciated this balance. 3. That's right, there's no other person you talk to when you have a question about your home or need paperwork filled out. 4. He gives you a weekly update. Every. single. week. 5. He gets the job done. Call him and talk to him.
Cons: The ONLY con I can think of is that I think he needs to take a vacation once in awhile. "
-Lana G., Client
"I couldn’t have wished for anyone better. He made our experience so easy!! Super responsive always kept us in the loop of what was going on. We closed on selling our house within days of putting it on the market. The man is a Superstar!!"
-J.J.T., Client
"Spirit was a fantastic resource throughout the entire buying process. As a first time home buyer there were many things I was encountering for the first time, however Spirit was great in explaining and leading the entire process. Furthermore, as an out of state buyer, Spirit made this is a very seamless experience. I would highly recommend to anyone."
-Kevin S., Client
"Spirit is a truly gifted professional! He brought a wealth of knowledge to the table when it came to pricing my home. He really knows the market and has a great understanding of the central Tucson housing area. He was brilliant at finding solutions and bringing a calm/balanced perspective when I experienced problems along the way. Remarkably, his solutions always actually led to me finding myself--financially and contractually--in a better place than before the problems originally arose. When these problems outside of my control came up, Spirit was totally who I wanted in my corner. What would be almost unmanageable without Spirit, ultimately was a huge success. I will be forever grateful that Spirit was my realtor on this transaction. I feel wonderfully fortunate that Spirit guided me through this process!"
-mhewitt530, Client
"My husband and I are first time home buyers, just moved from Ohio to AZ and knew absolutely nothing about the homes in Tucson, let alone anything about living in the desert/ Tucson area. Spirit was such a fantastic agent throughout this process, and we truly couldn't recommend him enough. He was patient, transparent, communicative, and flexible. He listened to what was important to us, offered his incredible expertise when asked and needed, and found us a home that we are over the moon to move into. Spirit is reliable and we appreciate his honesty throughout this process; he made finding our home into a invaluable experience where we learned SO much. We are forever grateful for all the work, support, and guidance he put in for us and should we need an agent again, we will definitely ask Spirit. You will not be disappointed in choosing Spirit!"
-Breanna L., Client
"Sold quickly with good advice from Spirit. He was Knowledgeable, courteous, yet always responded quickly and personally. Made the process actually seem easy. Never made us the middleman. I have bought and sold 8 homes in my life and this was by far the best experience thanks to Spirit. I would recommend to anyone from their first home purchase or sale to their last, like us. I would give him an even higher rating if possible. He is not one of the best he is the best."
-Art85745, Client
"Spirit goes above and beyond on all aspects of his profession. He is professional, prompt, organized and knows all the ins and outs of real estate.

If you want honest advice, and your transaction completed in record time, Spirit is the only realtor for you!"
-Sara B., Client
"Spirit hand walked me through the whole process of buying my first home. He was available at almost every time I reached out with my many questions and if he wasn’t free at that second he contacted me as soon as he was available without fail. We went to look at countless homes and he wasn’t afraid to voice his opinion and kept my interests, safety, and wants in mind. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and would suggest him to anyone!"

"I recently sold a house with Spirit and while this can be a very stressful process, I felt 110% confident by partnering with him. I was also in the middle of a contested divorce and he was such a diplomat and professional. He was candid, provided great feedback, helped explain clearly all details and managed to push when needed. He handled negotiation brilliantly. In addition, he was extremely responsive to every one of both of our questions. I am extremely certain Spirit will be the right partner to help anyone in ANY situation navigate this process."
-thecedgroup, Client
"Spirit is a dedicated, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable agent who is committed to ensuring his clients’ success. As a first time seller, he made sure we knew the process and what to expect, answered questions, and let us know when we had options for how to deal with any particular situation. I highly recommend anyone looking to buy or sell in Tucson reach out to Spirit first. He can also recommend the most squared away Title company and spot shady lenders a mile away and steer you clear. Definitely a safe bet to go with Spirit."
-Victoria S., Client
"Our third time working with Spirit and another amazing experience! Spirit has helped us to sell 2 homes and to buy one. This most recent sale was typical Spirit. He knows the neighborhoods, the market, and is excellent at guiding a seller or buyer through every step of the process. He will provide you with candid and real feedback and opinions on any considerations. You can't go wrong selecting Spirit to help you buy or sell a home. Thanks again Spirit!"

-Laura M., Client
"Spirit really knows Tucson. We were first time out-of-town buyers. He was able to boil down the overall market picture and assist us with understanding the dynamics of the neighborhoods of interest. He was able to help us negotiate around other cash buyers in an extremely tight market. Thanks to Spirit we got the house. I have never met someone this enthusiastic, insightful and genuinely helpful in my house buying experiences. I HIGHLY recommend this fellow. His first name is no misnomer!"

-derekash71, Client
"Highly recommend Spirit! We were out of state buyers searching, touring, and closing virtually amid a pandemic and hot market. Spirit is exceptionally communicative and always available and timely. Spirit is also proactive in his approaches and communications and makes everything very easy for buyers. On top of that Spirit has added value of extreme market and Tucson area knowledge and a keen eye for detail that serves buyers well as an added value. We felt this at our interview with Spirit and glad our instincts were right and we were in great hands for our search!"
