"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
"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
"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 am an out of town buyer. Hence, communication was paramount. Spirit gives the impression that you are his only client. And, if you are ever on the ledge worrying about the thousands of dollars you are now pledging, he calmly talks you down making you feel comfortable in your decision.
All along the way I felt he looked out for me and my son with regards to location, safety and the quality of the properties.
Bottom line--If you want the most experienced realtor, look no further. I've dealt with many and his knowledge of properties, inspections, neighborhoods is unmatched."
-Christopher P., 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
"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
"Spirit's local knowledge was extremely helpful in understanding the pulse of Tucson real estate, being aware of current and future urban projects and developments, neighborhood-by-neighborhood historical pricing, pros and cons of local properties and conditions compared to other Tucson homes. Highly recommended if you are looking for a local, informed view into this real estate market. Thanks again, Spirit!"
-hellocward, Client
"My husband and I used Spirit to sell our Tucson home when we relocated to Denver. We had an exceptional experience with Spirit. We sold in three days over asking price. The entire transaction was seamless and we would certainly use him again if in the Tucson area. Spirit was great at keeping us informed all the way up to closing as we were already in Denver. Spirit is a true professional and it is evident that he takes real pride in the way he conducts business."
-Leona30305, 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 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
"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 honestly the most prompt and efficient realtor I have ever worked with. He couldn't have been more on top of things at every stage of the process. My husband and I also really appreciated his honesty in the home searching process. He did an amazing job educating us about what to look for and pointing out the pro's and con's of each home we visited. It was so clear that he truly wanted us to buy a home we love versus make a sale. We HIGHLY recommend working with Spirit to buy or sell a home. He's fantastic at what he does and is a truly kind and enjoyable person to be around!"
-Shaelyn82, 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!"
-Ashley N., 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 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!"
-twitt5, 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 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 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
"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 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
"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
"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
"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
"We feel so fortunate to have had Spirit as our realtor. He exceeded our expectations with every step of the home buying process. From his prompt responses to our questions to knowledge about the different neighborhoods of Tucson, we were consistently pleased with all he had to offer as a realtor. He blends professionalism with personality seamlessly. We would not hesitate to recommend Spirit to anyone!"
-Allison W., 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 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
"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
"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 is an excellent realtor - we could not have asked for more. He created a portal with instant access to homes that met our exact search parameters. He was available to show homes whenever we needed him, for as long as we needed, with never a single complaint. He is knowledgeable, responsive, service-oriented, detail-oriented and he happens be a very interesting and fun person to be around (which is important, because you spend a lot of time with your realtor during this process). He also refers you to excellent resources (lenders, title, contractors, inspectors, etc., etc.) who all are top notch and provide wonderful service. I cannot say enough about the fantastic job that Spirit did throughout this process. Now, we look forward to having him sell our prior house!"
-jkroeger3, 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
"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 is the nicest guy he will do his very very best to accommodate your every need, he knows his business, he's sharp, I felt very comfortable working with Sprit, he being in AZ. and I in another State wanting to buy a home in Tucson, it was great experience and a pleasure doing business with him !!"
-Laura M., 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
"This was the second time I worked with Spirit, but now I was selling the home he originally helped me buy. I was changing jobs and moving out of the state, and my new company's relocation package would only cover all of my selling costs if I used one of their realtors. I chose my own anyway and went with Spirit, because he is worth it. He knows the business like no one else. I was living in a different state, my father was in the hospital, and I was going through one of the most stressful periods in my life. But I was not stressed about selling my house, because I could trust Spirit to take care of things. He did the same thing he did when I bought the house. He was responsive, courteous, and most importantly, extremely competent. I wouldn't settle for anyone else if I were buying or selling in Tucson."
-zuser20180612095336048, 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
"Spirit's skill and expertise guided me through a challenging real estate transaction and closing.
He has a wide base of knowledge essential in negotiating contracts.
Thanks, Spirit."
-Veronica Y., 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
"Deciding to start looking for a your first home is a decision that comes with a lot of excitement, tons of questions, a little anxiety and even a bit of fear at times. Having someone like Spirit in your corner, makes all these different feelings a lot easier to handle and digest. Spirit is someone who is not only passionate about helping you purchase your dream home, but he is also someone who will take care of you no matter what is thrown at you during your journey. I have been very lucky to have him as my realtor and I look forward to keep working with him in the future. His level of expertise and ability to educate you on all the different terms that you may have never heard before is one thing I have appreciated the most.
Know that you can trust him completely and he will take amazing care of you."
-Nadia R., 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
"Spirit was very professional, efficient, and motivated from the start. He explained the entire process of listing and selling a home at the start and then continued to explain each step as we went along. He was able to list our home and get it under contract very quickly. When the initial offer/contract fell through, he was able to find another buyer and get us under contract again without losing any momentum. He was very helpful in explaining the inspection report and making recommendations for repairs, while also negotiating with the buyer and their agent. Overall, he was extremely responsive, honest, and transparent, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone selling a home in the Tucson area!"
-famunoz1107, 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
"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 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 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
"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
"This is transaction number 12 in my lifetime… Spirit is a phenomenal broker. Everything was smooth and flawless. His organizational skills and selling our house were simply perfect. Highly recommended to say the least."
-John H., 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
"If you are looking for a real good agent who is knowledgeable and very attentive, look no further. Spirit is the one ! You will be happy and will not regret. He can give you professional advise step by step to sell your home before you put it on a market. He is top of everything. You will be in a good hand. We are so grateful to him. We will ask him again if we ever had another opportunity without a doubt."
-Yoshi M., 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
"We worked with Spirit in the fall of 2020 to purchase a new home. That transaction went very well, due in large part to Spirit’s drive, knowledge of the Tucson market, and connections within the real estate community. When it was time to sell our former residence, there was no question who we wanted to list our home. In the current market, many listings are rushed, and it shows—un-focused cellphone pictures and lackluster descriptions of the property that do nothing to entice one to want to view the home. That is not what you get with Spirit. Even though homes sell quickly, Spirit prides himself on his listings. After settling on a listing price, Spirit said, “leave the rest to me.” And, as always, he was true to his word. Within days he had professional photographs taken, a floorplan rendered, and an enticing listing prepared. The home had an asking-price buyer before it even hit the market. Do yourself a favor, choose Spirit to represent you in your real estate transaction."
-Stephane A., 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
