"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 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 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
"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
"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
"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 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 is a true professional realtor. He responded to emails and texts within minutes, always keeping me informed. He made the process of selling my home easy by providing me with all the information I needed. Would definitely recommend him."
-Lind 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
"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
"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 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
"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
"When I needed to get the job done, I turned to Spirit and he delivered! He is personable, professional, and an expert at Central Tucson as advertised. By going the extra mile and working fast on our behalf, Spirit helped my family find the best fit for our needs at a great price! I'm so grateful for his time, attention, responsiveness, and high ethical standards. Happy in my new home, I highly recommend Spirit for anyone looking to buy or sell!"
-TwoNJenn, 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 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'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
"Spirit knows his stuff! He is quick in responding to my questions and when there is a "problem" between buyer and seller, he is able to quickly identify the issue and figure out a way to correct it. Spirit is easy going and great to work with!"
-kassandra34, 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 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 ‘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
"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
"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
"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!"

11/23/2021 - Leigh Anne Droscha
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
"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 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 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 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
"There's an obvious reason why Spirit has almost 500 reviews now with a 5.0 rating on Zillow - he lives and breathes the Tucson, AZ housing market.
I can't run out of good things to say about Spirit. He is patient and understanding, but bold enough to say what has to be said when it has to be said. You know you can count on him for all of your real estate needs - he will treat you with respect and will always be honest, especially when it's hard.
We live in a dog-eat-dog world where it's hard to find people dedicated to serving the community like Spirit, count yourself fortunate to be able to work with him!"

"Spirit was very professional and a great asset as we purchased our first investment property in a hot sellers market. As soon as I contacted Spirit, he scheduled an appointment to talk with me the next day. We are out of state buyers, and Spirit directed us through the different central Tucson neighborhoods to select an ideal property. We found a property right away with a short deadline to make an offer. Spirit was so prompt with connecting us to a lender and walking us through writing a strong offer. We were able to turn around an offer within 24 hours of the property being listed and we beat out multiple offers, and all because he had very strong connections and established relationships in the Tucson real estate market. We will definitely be working with Spirit again, and I highly recommend him as a real estate agent. He takes the time to understand your needs and goals, and is very responsive to his clients."
-Christine V., 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 recently helped me sell my condominium, selling less than 48hrs after listing. He is without doubt one of the most professional yet personable Realtors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He is honest, open, concise and timely in all his communication. His advice was spot on at all points through the process and the final outcome surpassed all my expectations."
-nicolasm1, 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 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 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 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
"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 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
"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."
-happymoe74, 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
"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
"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
"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 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
"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 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 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
"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
"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!"
