"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
"Amazing Realtor was always prompt to respond with informed answers. Great marketing and planning my home went under contract in 10hours. Spirit felt more like a friend than my realtor I can't recommend him enough for your buying or selling needs!"
-derekash71, 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!"
-James F., 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
"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!"
-William K., Client
"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
"Spirit is the best! He is a local expert and knows everything about the market. Professional, easy to work with, and always thinking ahead about what's next in the buying process. His expertise comes in handy at every step of the process, and we wouldn't trust anyone else!"
-Erin LW, Client
"Spirit was recommended to us by a friend and he did not disappoint. He listened to what we wanted in a home and made sure to find options that fit us. Spirit obviously loves his job and was willing to go the extra mile to help us find our forever home! We highly recommend him!"
-Emily S., 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
"We can't recommend Spirit more highly! Selling our house has taken nearly 10 months (a week before we were scheduled to list a tree crushed our roof). He checked in regularly and even referred us to amazing contractors. Once the roof was repaired, we hit the market and had offers almost right away (even though this coincided with the beginning of the pandemic and shutdown). Spirit communicates frequently to let you know how showings are going and what type of feedback the property is getting from showings. He made us first-time sellers feel totally at ease throughout the whole process. The two things you will love most about working with Spirit: he is really easy to get in touch with (answers calls/texts/emails within hours), and perhaps even more importantly, he is just a really nice person!"
-Kris M., Client
"I was in a hurry to buy a home as I was moving from another city. Spirit was the best guy to make this happen. He has an excellent knowledge of the area and what it will take to put your best foot forward in the buying process. Found a great place. Then we worked towards getting this done quickly and efficiently. He is always available to his customer. He is reliable...when he says he's going to do something, rest assured, it gets done. Through the entire process, Spirit was available to address any questions or concerns I had. I would highly recommend him if you are buying or selling property."
-ccw2268, Client
"Spirit Messingham is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with! He helped my family sell our home very quickly and provided the advice we needed. He is extremely knowledgable and is very prompt responding to any questions. Spirit provides the highest quality of service whether you are buying/selling a $10 million home or a $50k condo. We would recommend him to all of our friends and family looking to buy or sell a home as we know he would take great care of them. He is simply the best!!!"
-Anthony P., Client
"Spirit knows Central Tucson like no one. He helps me to buy my first home. He was patience explain me the entire process. Even with a short notice, he could make space to show me houses. The level of experience he has is incredible. He got me a house in the first intent. I am super happy with my house and with the personalize service that Spirit offered me."
-Etienne B., Client
"If you need someone to get the job done, that person is Spirit Messingham. I am a first-time home buyer. I did all my research, read a ton online, and went to open houses. I even listened to podcasts on first time home buying. I was on a mission to find my dream home and needed an amazing realtor to guide me. I had interviewed and researched dozens of them. I was contacted by Spirit initially on a home that I looked at. He took the time to talk to me even though I was not his client yet. He is the real deal and yes—a true unicorn realtor. His knowledge of the industry is unparalleled, and he is so willing to share it. I thought I knew a lot, but I learned so much from him. He listens and gets to know you as a buyer. He is almost always available (7 days a week) and works to help you meet your goals. He says things out loud that you are thinking and will keep you on track with your intention and goals for your future home.
"
-Tuan V., Client
"As a first time home owner, I was expecting to be overwhelmed and stressed throughout this entire process. However, Spirit's patience, attention to detail, and experience made this entire process stress-free for me. He explained each step of the process and was readily available to answer any and all of my 100+ questions. More importantly, Spirit puts his clients first. Meaning he doesn't pressure you, he looks for what you're looking for in a home, prioritizes safety, and provides open and honest opinions. I couldn’t have ask for a better agent to work with and I highly recommend him, Spirit is simply the best."

Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2021 in Tucson, AZ.
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
"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
"Spirit has surpassed all our expectations. He is an excellent communicator which sets him apart from the his competitors. We were blessed to have found him!!"
-ericsatti1997, Client
"Spirit went above and beyond to provide us a stellar experience when selling our home and buying a new one. Even though he has many clients, Spirit makes you feel as though you are his only client and his number one priority. One, of many, things we truly appreciated was how he educated us throughout the whole process. He took the time to explain every step, give us the pros and cons of every decision, and he thoroughly answered every question we had (which was a lot). Additionally, anytime we emailed, texted, or called him with a question he responded immediately, no matter the day or time (I'm pretty sure he never sleeps).
A couple of days before Christmas we saw a house pop up in the portal he created for us. It looked perfect and we knew it would sell fast. Despite it being the holidays he happily dropped everything to come show it to us. Long story short, we got the house and we love it!
"
-Jess F., Client
"Spirit is trustworthy, hardworking and capable. That is probably all that I would need to tell you about a real state agent. But the best part is that he is also a super nice guy. He understands that a house is also a home and finds pride and joy on finding a good place for people to live in. He does this without letting it get on the way of business: he works to get a reasonable price for your house (if you are selling) and to find you the house you want at a reasonable price (if you are buying). Spirit can do this because he knows the neighborhoods and, most impressively, he can tell you which houses were sold when and how over the last years. He really has the pulse for how the market is evolving in the area and what you can expect.
If you are dealing with real state, give him a call. You can thank me later."
-P.S., Client
"I first reached out to Spirit through the Zillow app when my wife and I began our home search about a year ago. We had a great conversation and I was impressed with his knowledge of so many neighborhoods in Tucson as well as his passion for real estate- including genuine interest in the history and architecture of each area.
When my wife and I began our search in earnest, several months later, I contacted Spirit directly. He was attentive and responsive from the very start, listening to our goals and wishlist items to get a sense of our needs as well as our unique situation. He was very proactive and helpful throughout and brought many resources through his extensive local networks to bear on all aspects ya of the process (including lining up contractors and inspectors at the drop of a hat). Spirit is a courteous, knowledgeable and very efficient, motivated realtor."
-The Bald Avenger, 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
"very professional and extremely honest. He is well connected to the industry and has the connections to make it happen. Priced my home higher than I thought, but assured me it would sell. He was able to bring interested buyers who saw the value the property represented and it sold for the full asking price. Couldn't be more pleased. Will be using Spirit for any needs in the future."
-Jerry D., Client
"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 prides himself on being a "neighborhood expert" of the Broadway-Broadmoor neighborhood where we lived. And he truly is. Before even meeting with us, he had already not only researched comps in the neighborhood, but he was able to explain the characteristics of houses in our neighborhood that are and are not problems for buyers. And given his contacts in the neighborhood, we were able to find a buyer before even listing on MLS!
He took care of the entire process from offer to closing, providing us with documents to sign promptly and, perhaps most importantly, an explanation of what to expect at each stage. Needless to say, inspection and closing went flawlessly.
Another note given the state of real estate these days, we worked *directly with Spirit* at each stage of the process, something that was tremendously important to us."
-Erika C., Client
"Spirit was able to sell my home very quickly and at a price higher than asking. He provided great recommendations on what would be the best way to go about selling the home. 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."
-Amy H., Client
"When I started looking for my first Home I never expected I would be putting an offer in on my dream home four days later, but that’s exactly what Spirit Messingham did for me.
It is not ironic that the man’s name is Spirit because he is truly an angel of a man. I had no idea what I was doing but he held my hand through the whole process and made everything easy. Spirit was also able to connect me with the best financing/loan officer in Tucson who was just as careful to guide me along my path.
Five weeks later now and I am sitting out side of the local cable company getting ready to pick up my modem for my brand new and gorgeous home. Never has anything so difficult been made so simple and easy. If Spirit tells you to do something, jump! The man truly knows what he’s doing and is an asset to the Tucson community. Thank You Spirit. I’ll definitely see you when it’s time to buy the next one!"
-soliloquy4me, Client
"Spirit is a ‘standout’ in the real estate industry. He provides so much knowledge and insight for his clients that you feel more confident in your decision making and the process as you navigate through a purchase. More importantly he trustworthy and kind to all."
-Mary M., Client
"Spirit was an absolute joy to work with! He was able to negotiate a very popular property in an extremely difficult market. This is something that few agents are able to do. I look forward in working with Spirit again."
-Courtney L., Client
"Spirit has helped me buy two houses and sell one of them. Each time he was professional and extremely knowledgeable. When I bought my first house with my then wife, he knew exactly where to go and that the market would be in our favor. In two years, when I divorced, we made a killing on it, just as he said. He then helped me buy my current house. In short, if you want someone in your corner and want to be in central Tucson, go see Spirit!!!!!!!!!"
-Tucson 1006, Client
"I cannot say enough great things about Spirit. Fact of the matter is, we very likely would not have gotten our dream home if it weren't for him. Everything we wanted, we got. He even brought along a crew - "Team Spirit" - lender, inspectors, title company.... everyone he suggested was absolutely amazing USE THEM. I was getting the runaround from a lot of lenders until I used the one he suggested, and everything became so much more smooth after - we even closed 3 weeks early! He is extremely knowledgeable not only about the real estate market, but all the ins and outs of the home search and what should/should not be acceptable for your future home. He was honest and really was value added when it came to looking at homes, which I appreciated greatly. Spirit took care of everything for us, this process was so much less stressful because of him and his hard work. We were able to enjoy the process and know that we were in good hands, there is no better compliment than that!"
-Ally F., Client
"Spirit was a pleasure to work with. As a first time homebuyer I had very little knowledge on what to do. Spirit was helpful, responsive, and very knowledgeable about the area I wanted to purchase in (Central Tucson). It was his connections and experience that ultimately helped me get a house in a crazy market. I would definitely recommend Spirit to anyone looking for a house."
-sgsantillan, 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
"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'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
"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. He listens to what your goals are and then adopts them as his own and makes the goal become reality. His high energy positive attitude makes buying or selling a home a enjoyable experience. If you want honest advice, and your transaction completed in record time, Spirit is the only realtor for you!"
-Sara 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
"Simply put, Spirit is a master of his craft. His work ethic alone would warrant an excellent review. But combined with his knowledge of Tucson as a whole, attention to detail, professionalism, and a genuine supportiveness to those he is working with marks him as one of the best at what he does. As a first time home buyer he was patient, informative, and provided solid guidance when needed. His reputation with other professionals was paramount in securing a house and paved the way for a completely smooth home buying experience. I can easily advocate Spirit to anyone looking to work with a quality real estate professional/person as a whole!"
-Wyatt S., Client
"We worked with Spirit on the sale and purchase of our homes. Selling our home with Spirit was a great experience. His knowledge of real estate (he'll give you all of the info, whether you want it or not :-) ), the central region, and his commitment made the process smooth and stress free. He was always there to answer our questions or concerns. I highly recommend Spirit for either selling or buying, he is top notch."
-Stephanie D., Client
"Spirit is the right real estate agent for you. We found ourselves in a unique situation, ended up purchasing the house we were renting and could not have made that purchase without him in our corner. Before committing to buying, he arranged for proper inspections of the property and professionally walked us through all the legalities that come with buying a home. It was our first house for either of us and we really valued Spirit's experience!"
-arbyrantz, Client
"Buying or selling, use Spirit! Using anyone else is a mistake. He helped me do both. Fast and easy with no stress. He specializes in central Tucson. When I buy again, I’ll totally call Spirit. He understands the neighborhood, schools, and the value of the house."
-aconroy1, Client
"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!"
-zuser20170108183601270, Client
"Spirit Messingham recently sold our house in Tucson after it was listed for a short two weeks. I had worked with other Tucson realtors in the past and Spirit is in a class of his own. Spirit’s honesty, integrity, and hard work ethic, I believe, has set himself apart from other realtors. Spirit kept us up-to-date and communicated with us on a regular basis during the escrow process. He is a top-notch professional who works hard and will get the job done. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Spirit if you are looking for someone to sell your home."
-Judy L., Client
"Spirit was very knowledgeable about the local real estate market. He helped us price our property correctly and it sold quickly. When we had questions about the process, Spirit was quick to answer and offer advice. We will work with Spirit again on real estate transactions, he has gained our trust and respect."
-montanokd, Client
"Spirit was excellent in our home buying process. He works tirelessly to help and is always communicative and available. I would strongly endorse using him for anyone looking to go through the home buying experience. We would use him in the future."
-Edward B., Client
"I have lived in Tucson for well over 45 years and have known many real estate agents. I consider Spirit quite simply the best of all in this city. In every aspect of real estate sales I cannot imagine anybody coming close to him. His negotiation skills are incomparable, and the best part of these is he never did any sort of arm-twisting with me. He was always on the point and presented pros and cons without any sort of manipulative cleverness or dishonesty. Always prompt and always considerate, he inspired the kind of confidence in me that I generally never had in real estate agents. In fact, that is what made me pay attention to anything he said. I am very glad I chose him to sell my home."
-sraval1945, 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
"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 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
"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!"
