“I reached out to Shawn to list my property because after speaking with him I felt his knowledge and experience would provide a positive result. And it did. He is easy to talk to, listens and he answers his phone! No robot menu here. Very satisfied.”
“Brian kept us informed every step of the way and went above and beyond checking on our house while it was being built.”
“We worked quite well together through out. Getting sold in this market was tough but got it done!”
“Rachel is an incredible person and realtor. She priced our home at the top of the market, which any realtor can do, but then Rachel developed a marketing strategy that afforded us a full price offer within 4 days. Rachel made the entire process was as simple as it could possibly be. Every issue and detail was handled quickly with professional expertise. Rachel also found my new home for me as well, again the transaction was flawless. I'll recommend Rachel to anyone I know who is selling or buying a home.”
“Richard and Whitney did a great job, all the way through the process of buying a home in another state. If it wasn't for them, we would have had a hard time doing it. Excellent job!”
“I hope all of Agent Pronto's realtors are half as good as Ken Boltz. He was my partner in finding and purchasing my home and a wonderful advocate on my behalf. In almost no time at all, he demonstrated how well he understood my needs and preferences in my next home, he referred me to an excellent loan originator and stayed on top of every aspect of the purchase through to completion. Buying a home is a stressful experience for almost everyone, but with Ken handling the purchase, I had minimal stress, if any. Easily the best home buying experience of my life.”
“Chaz and Kayla were referred to us by a friend and from the start they did a great job listening to our wants and setting out to find the right neighborhoods for us to start looking in for our new house. They were very patient with us until we found the place we liked and aggressively helped us to go after it and get it. On the selling side Kayla made great recommendations on getting our house ready to sell and Chaz helped us get the price right. We had multiple offers in the first week. When the buyers appraisal came back with major discrepancies and a low appraisal cost they immediately jumped into the appeal process and fought for us to get the right appraisal cost for our house. They were responsive and overall great to work with.”
“Adam Prather and his team were great, thank you!”
“Provided excellent advice, very helpful and pleasant, kept in contact with us and was always available to answer questions.”

He was extremely helpful negotiating the price, help with the inspections especially, and overall Knowledge of every intricate part of the process.... From Beginning to the End. Josiah is an All Around Great Guy and is easy to communicate with. He took all of my questions and concerns and helped me with every one of them. I am a first time buyer and had no clue what I was doing. Josiah was very knowledgeable. He was very respectful of my questions and concerns. Josiah made the process very easy and manageable. I have and will continue to recommend Engel & Volkers Gilbert to anyone and everyone who is interested in purchasing a home. Especially will recommend Josiah Krol to Represent them as their Real Estate Agent. Thank you so much for everything. I am so excited to be in my little property/home.

Desert Highlands sets a high bar for North Scottsdale living, pairing a storied golf pedigree with effortless desert beauty. Guard-gated at the base of the granite boulders near Pinnacle Peak, the community is minutes from the dining, arts, and trailheads of Scottsdale, and well placed within Maricopa County. Its Jack Nicklaus Signature course—home to the inaugural Skins Game—anchors a member-owned club culture with a striking clubhouse, racquet and pickleball facilities, and fitness and wellness programming. Nearby neighborhoods like Troon North and Pinnacle Peak expand your choices for tee times, trailheads, and local eateries.
Outdoor days come easily. Residents love the quick access to the granite ridgelines and saguaro-framed paths of the City’s acclaimed Pinnacle Peak Park, perfect for sunrise hikes and sunset views, with trail details and hours posted on its official page. Families value the academic options in the area, with Cave Creek Unified School District providing a strong pipeline from elementary through high school. Cactus Shadows High School rounds out that track with broad AP, arts, and athletics offerings that serve college-bound students well.
Beyond the gates, everyday conveniences—from specialty grocers to chef-driven restaurants—await along Pima and Scottsdale Roads, while the McDowell Sonoran Preserve’s vast trail network sits a short drive away.
