Alexis Magness
Native Phoenician, Relocation Expert, Architecture Lover and Historic Preservationist
I am a native Phoenician and, having been born and raised in the Valley of the Sun, I know all the secret spots/areas you just can't google!
Having lived in Sunnyslope, Gilbert, Phoenix, Chandler, Mesa, Carlsbad California and London England, my husband Patrick, an award-winning architect and Principal with Gensler, and I have settled into a 1950 ranch home in Arcadia Osborn affectionately referred to by neighbors as "The Wall". We have two grown children and three grandchildren, all of whom live in the Valley.
I have a penchant for discreet deals and high-profile clients and provide a personal touch while protecting identities and privacy. Real estate is not a job to me, it is my career, my lifeblood. I am passionate about high quality, architecturally unique properties and strive to represent and locate the best homes and land available both on and off-market. Most of my business is from referrals and past clients. I bring a down-to-earth sensibility and sense of humor; no client is left behind! I enjoy representing those who are up-sizing, downsizing, or right sizing, as well as those relocating to the Valley. As a Senior Real Estate Specialist, I also enjoy assisting those who need help with home valuation, those who have or will inherit property, and those relocating to Independent or Assisted Living.
Prior to becoming a real estate consultant, I enjoyed a successful career as a paralegal, art instructor, graphic designer, writer, editor, and proofreader, with over two decades in both corporate and real estate marketing. My concern for my clients' best interests are first and foremost. I specialize in unique homes and properties and am especially interested in homes with character, whether they are contemporary, modern, quirky or historic in style.
I graduated from Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Science in Design with honors. I am a member of Who's Who in Luxury Real Estate, the Paradise Valley Luxury Home Tour, Tom Ferry's Elite, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. I was featured as one of Modern Luxury Phoenix's 2021 Dynamic Women, Top Producer Magazine, and am a lifetime member of the Marquis Who's Who.
When I'm not searching for the needle in the haystack for buyers or prepping a multi-million dollar home for sale, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, practicing hot yoga, listening to music, performing karaoke and--wait for it--reselling wedding dresses! My favorite thing to hear is "It can't be done" because, as winner of the 2022 Launch Optimist Award, I LOVE problem solving and excel in making the impossible POSSIBLE.
Give me a call. I'm happy to help in any way.
