RED Comps’ research team verifies and records all commercial real estate sales in Pima County. From that information, Trend Report can present the “no-nonsense” Best-in-Class Broker Awards to those individuals who closed the highest overall transaction sales volume for each market category each year. This year’s awards were calculated from Q4, 2023, to Q3, 2024, for a full year of sales.
These outstanding professionals have demonstrated exceptional sales performance and proven to be leaders in their field, consistently exceeding expectations in a competitive and ever-changing market.
Deal volume amounted to just over $1.67 billion for the period. The highest dollar volume was for multifamily, which achieved $394 million with 57 deals – a substantial number, but a 23.6 percent drop from $515 million in 2023. A total of 571 commercial properties were traded for the period – 56 fewer than 2023’s 627.
Retail sales brought in the second highest volume, scoring $345 million – up by 13.4 percent YOY.
These top brokers being recognized have mastered the art of connecting clients with properties, navigating complex transactions, and delivering results with unmatched dedication. Their ability to anticipate market trends, utilize innovative technology, and provide personalized, strategic guidance has set them apart from their peers.
“It is not just about numbers. These brokers have built lasting relationships with their clients based on trust, integrity, and a passion for helping people make some of the most significant decisions of their lives – buying or selling real estate,” Schutte said. “Their commitment to professionalism and their tireless work ethic has earned them not only financial success but also the respect and admiration of their colleagues and clients alike.
“As we look to 2025, we know these brokers will continue to raise the bar, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and driving excellence in the real estate industry. Their achievements serve as a testament to their dedication, expertise, and commitment to the highest standards of service,” Schutte added.
Among the winners are representatives from national real estate powerhouses such as Marcus & Millichap, Land Advisors Organization, CBRE, Cushman & Wakefield, and top brokers of local firms in Southern Arizona. All winners must be based in Southern Arizona.
All Trend Report’s Best-in-Class Broker Awards are based exclusively on sales volume transaction data from the RED Comps commercial real estate database, the most accurate, independently researched database of commercial real estate property sales information. The Good Works Award was based on the most generous acts of time and money to the community.

This and their new retail piercing location allowed us to seize the opportunity to be at Norterra. It was great working with Heather and Bobby Moss and our team is thrilled to see how the space turned out.”

“The strength of our team stems from the emphasis we put into fostering relationships with our clients and fellow brokers within the marketplace,” said Senior Vice President Michael Dupuy. “The team is always the first call from healthcare professionals, healthcare groups, brokers, landlords and investors to learn about availabilities within the market and/or guidance on purchase or leasing opportunities thanks to their existing relationships and expertise.
