Where We Started

Revolutionizing Real Estate: A Journey Rooted in Expertise and Innovation

Our journey began in the heart of the real estate industry, where each of us honed our expertise and shaped our vision to revolutionize how people buy and sell homes. From 2014 onward, our team has completed over 10,000 transactions, representing some of the largest companies in the nation. Soroosh, with his decade-long mastery of the Phoenix market, contributed to more than 5,000 transactions, leveraging his deep understanding of market trends and pricing strategies to help clients maximize their property value. John, a retired police officer turned real estate pioneer, built a thriving business in Las Vegas with his 1% listing model, saving sellers millions in commissions through a referral-driven approach. Tyler, with extensive experience in resale, new home sales, and iBuyers, brought innovative solutions to simplify the home-selling process and save clients money.

Together, we saw a recurring issue: selling a home costs too much. Despite our individual successes, we knew there had to be a better way—one that truly prioritized homeowners.

 

Why 1%AZ?

Breaking the Mold: Bringing Fairness and Savings to Arizona Homeowners

For too long, homeowners have been burdened with inflated fees to sell their homes. We believe that’s simply unfair. That’s why we’ve combined our years of real estate expertise to bring a change to Arizona homeowners. When we met John Faulis, founder of the 1% listing model in Las Vegas, we found the perfect solution. John’s innovative approach proved that homeowners could receive premium service and outstanding results without the traditional 3% commission.

Thousands of clients have already benefited from this model, saving millions in commissions while still achieving top-dollar sales. Inspired by this success, we brought this value-driven, consumer-focused model to Arizona. With 1%AZ, homeowners receive everything they need to sell successfully: expert pricing, dedicated service, a robust marketing plan—and most importantly, substantial savings.

 

Our Future Vision

Transforming Arizona Real Estate: Premium Service, Fair Fees, and Smarter Selling

The Arizona real estate market has seen it all: flat-fee companies that come and go, discount brokerages, and luxury services with overpriced fee structures. Yet, through it all, one thing has remained consistent—commission percentages have stayed the same. We’re here to change that.

With our proven 1% model, we aim to redefine the real estate landscape in Arizona. Our vision is simple: to offer high-quality, affordable real estate services that empower every homeowner. Our promise to you includes low fees, exceptional customer service, and a luxury listing experience tailored to your needs. From expert pricing strategies to comprehensive marketing plans, we’re dedicated to ensuring the successful sale of your home while putting your hard-earned equity back into your pocket.

Join us in transforming the way Arizona sells real estate. With 1%AZ, it’s not just about saving money—it’s about gaining confidence, transparency, and a smarter way to sell.
