"Spirit is the consummate real estate professional. It is evident that he enjoys what he does. My husband and I had not purchased a home since 2005 and much has changed since that time. Spirit was patient and responsive to my myriad questions and helped allay any anxiety about the buying process with his expansive knowledge of homes and the Tucson real estate market. During the process, we never felt rushed and we always felt like any question we had was answered with candor and our best interests in mind. In the current market, buyers require an agent who understands the realities of the market and who can provide guidance on the entire real estate transaction. Spirit is that agent. He made the entire process seamless from the first viewing, to making a competitive offer, to moving through the inspection and closing. We cannot recommend Spirit highly enough."
-Martian2012, 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 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
"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 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 is detail oriented, always follow through and knows the market in Tucson inside and out. We figured out exactly what I was looking for in my price range and where and every recommendation for/against certain properties was always in my preferences and only pushed once we found “the one”. HIGHLY recommend 10/10 will work with him again!"
-dmaviles20, 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
"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
"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
"Working with Spirit was a great experience. Great customer service, responsive, and takes the time to talk with you about options. He won't try and push you or force you into a decision but will educate and inform you. I wish we had chosen him as our first realtor when buying our first house. We were looking to sell our home and upgrade to a bigger one in a better location. Spirit was very informative every step of the way and very realistic about our situation (buyer's contingency, current real estate market, etc.). He helped us maneuver through the selling process and used his expertise to help us manage a smooth buying process as well. He managed to make the home buying process easy in this market and we couldn't be happier in our new home. I highly recommend working with Spirit if you are looking for someone with local knowledge as well as the ins and outs of the buying and selling process."
-norisadalberto, 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
"Spirit has been a pleasure to work with, as he pays attention to detail and schedule, which was greatly appreciated. We highly recommend him. Spirit helped coordinate all the inspections that were required to be done on the house. He followed up with the owners and contractors to make sure the jobs were completed prior to the sale of the house. Except for one time to view the house, we have been coordinating the purchase from out of state and Spirit was a great help with handling all the paperwork in a timely manner."
-snkcastle, 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
"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."
-April L., Client
"I have worked with Spirit previously and I will continue to use his expertise when it comes to real estate. His knowledge through the difficult and stressful process of home buying was much appreciated. He is awesome and I would highly recommend working with him."
-Dean S., 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
"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
"Spirit has been absolutely amazing throughout the process of selling our home. He is incredibly professional, excellent with quick and clear communication, and always made me feel that he had time for me. He calmed my nerves when I needed it and has gotten us through this sale with the least amount of stress possible. I always felt like he was acting in our best interest and that he was there for us at any time. He's a straight-shooter and really knows the market. I am so grateful that I chose Spirit to be our realtor. You will be too!"
-murralison, Client
"Spirit was our agent when we bought our house in 2015, and again when we sold the same house six years later in 2021. Thus we have very good knowledge of Spirit as both buyer's and seller's agent. He does an excellent job for his clients. We will work with him again when we look to repurchase in the future."
-rezro, Client
"Spirit is an amazing real estate professional! He exceeded our expectations every step of the way! Spirit provided incomparable customer service, and a wealth of knowledge and experience! I feel like I may be ruined for working with real estate agents in the future, because Spirit set the bar extremely high! He always gave us his honest opinion and feedback regarding questions we had about properties or process. Spirit always made sure to reassure us that he was going to help us and guide us, but that the decision to buy a house is ours, and he didn't want us to feel pressured in any way. Spirit clearly operates on sound ethical principles, and we always felt that he had our best interests in mind. We pressed "pause" in our home buying journey for our own personal reasons, and Spirit was gracious and magnanimous regarding this decision, as well. We will buy a house in the near future, and Spirit will be our agent for the purchase!"
-d rob ward, Client
"Would absolutely recommend Spirit! Reached out through Zillow and he was in contact immediately. Very kind and knowledgeable. Thanks for all your help!"
-Ash Sch, Client
"Spirit provided the highest quality service one could ask for when looking to purchase a home in Tucson. His market knowledge was invaluable in helping us choose the right location. We are not local to Tucson so his insight and guidance was crucial in finding the right house. Once we identified the home we wished to purchase, Spirit advised how we should structure our offer to stand out in this crazy, highly competitive market. Happily, we are under contract and will close shortly. Spirit managed all inspections, guided us on reviewing documents, reminded us to set up utilities, and paid attention to all those details that go into purchasing a home. I highly recommend Spirit for your buying or selling needs in Tucson."
-Nancy G., 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
"We were looking to purchase a home in a state we don't currently live in and picked Spirit based on his great Zillow reviews. The 5-star rating is certainly justified - he is responsive, incredibly knowledgeable about his market and happy to share that knowledge, as well as very accommodating. We flew in for one day of viewings and he was able to put together a schedule to see 10+ properties all over the city in just a few hours. We had an offer in and accepted within a couple of days and the whole process through close has been easy and enjoyable. Plus he's just a nice guy!"
-Adrienne W., 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 is THE BEST of the best and I am so grateful to have found him to be my listing agent. I don’t live in Arizona and Spirit made the selling experience as smooth as silk. We’re currently in escrow and I could never have imagined the process being as smooth and stress-free as it has been. He clearly manages expectations up front and throughout the process, so you always know what’s happening and what will happen next. Spirit acted as my eyes and ears, reporting status and sending pictures real-time. He worked efficiently with my property manager through the transition of the vacating tenant and cleanup, and he helped me coordinate the painting, and repairs, sometimes taking it upon himself to get things in order so his photographer could take pictures and get the house listed sooner. I’m still amazed how quickly the process is happening. If I had to sum up Spirit in just a few words they would be DEPENDABLE, EXPERT, PROACTIVE, RESPONSIVE…and a BLESSING and PLEASURE to work with"
-Diane G., 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
"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
"We worked with Spirit to sell our midtown house -- he was thorough and transparent about the ups and downs we experienced (we were under contract multiple times), and was a great and consistent communicator. Spirit was an excellent partner for us and we would absolutely work with him again."
-mizlizzy, Client
"Was excellent to work with and would gladly use him again! His knowledge and experience we're instrumental in this home buying process. Always prompt and responsive, couldn't say enough good things about our experience."
-Eddie B., 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
"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."
-Cass G., 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 was great to work with. If your looking for a knowledgeable and hardworking individual he is the one for you! He is great on response time and puts a lot of time effort and passion into his job."
-kirchberger, Client
"Spirit is highly knowledgeable of the Tucson market and diligent in his work. He is also detailed oriented and works quickly on obtaining information to make the buying/selling process easier."
-Sean R., 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!"

"If you are looking for a hardworking, knowledgeable and seasoned realtor, Spirit is your man! My experience with him was top notch! He knows his business, does what he says he'll do and within the timeframe he says he'll do it. My transaction went quickly, smoothly and without any hassles or problems. He knows the ever-changing market and works hard to get you top dollar. Spirit is a true professional! Thank you Spirit!"
-lblowers17, 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
"When my wife and I bought our current home, we ended up with an agent by default: she was the one who had listed the property. She was terribly inexperienced and the deal almost fell through due to her ineptitude. When it came time to look for another property, I was determined to do my research and choose a good agent. I found Spirit’s website and liked what I read. He had made 63 sales in the previous 12 months and had 15 years of experience in the Tucson market. I also liked that he works alone. I didn’t want to work with a team, because I felt that I would end up with whoever on the team was available. I called Spirit on a weekend and not only did he answer the phone, he spoke with me at length to determine exactly what I was looking for. Throughout the process he has always been available and has responded promptly to my questions. The inspection period and escrow have gone very smoothly. He has been a wonderful ally, looking out for my interests. I wholeheartedly recommend him "
-Paul Y., 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 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
"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
"If you are looking for a professional, honest, and quick responsive realtor, Spirit is the person you will like to work with. Spirit helped us to buy our condo four years ago and just helped us to sell it this month. He came to our home, checked the condo conditions, and made suggestions on listing price/if improvement is needed. We are not in town during the selling process, but Spirit kept us informed of the offers and gave suggestions on how to respond based on his knowledge. Everything is just beyond our expectation.
We now live in another state and started to work with local realtors. I just wish they can be as great and amazing as Spirit. We fell so lucky that we worked with Spirit among many others out there. Not everyone is like him. If one day we move back to Tucson, Spirit will be the person I call to help us with house-hunting."
-tjjawp, Client
"This was our second transaction with Spirit. He helped us purchase this home in 2020, and now sell the same property in 2021. When circumstances beyond our control required us to sell, without any hesitation we contacted Spirit. To say it was an easy, fast, painless experience is the understatement of the year. We never even had to list the house! Spirit's massive network of connections/clients landed us buyers before the house was even scheduled to hit the market. We feel beyond fortunate to have such a talented, honest reliable realtor at our fingertips. It's not often that transactions like these end so smoothly (especially in such a hot market) and we're forever grateful to have had Spirit guiding the way. He ensured that despite such a chaotic time in our lives, we have a great memory to look back on. Without any hesitation, we will recommend Spirit to anyone looking to buy or sell in Tucson."
-sunkenhopes, 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
"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 thorough and helpful, and willing to go the extra mile. Very responsive, which is an exceptional attribute in this process! I have recommended him to my friends and family repeatedly, and can recommend him here again without qualms."
-Kate F., 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!"
