My background:

After studying Elementary Education and Drama at Arizona State University, I completed my student teaching on the island of Sardinia in Italy. I started a school for Italian Executives and large company owners that did not have command of the English Language. Prior to living in Italy, I lived in Greece, where I spent most of my years growing up. I started a building/ construction company with my cousin. While in this position, I worked alongside architects building apartments in Athens, where I gained extensive knowledge in design.

Drew Burns

As a long time Arizona real estate agent I wake up every day excited to help first time, experienced, and luxury buyers and sellers with all of their real estate needs. Having the privilege of doing what I love and getting to assist clients with such an important event in their lives is something I take great pride in. I truly believe having a qualified professional you can trust to guide you step by step through such an important transaction is invaluable.

There are countless real estate cliches, but what really matters is that your Realtor will work tirelessly for you, knows and understands the market, is savvy with contract negotiations, utilizes the most up to date technology/marketing concepts, understands the closing process, and will always put your interests before their own.

As an agent I strive to ensure that my clients look back at their transaction knowing financially they did as well as the market would allow with the purchase or sale of their home. Beyond that I want my clients to feel like they have found their Realtor for life and someone they would trust referring friends and family to. I take great pride in the work I do and truly care about the people I work with. Simply put I believe in treating my clients as I would want to be treated.

If you are looking for someone who can get you where you want to go with your real estate goals give me a call. It would be an honor and a pleasure to put my experience to work assisting you!
