“I’m not only a REALTOR®,

I’m a principal in a

development company

here in North Scottsdale,”

says Tim Halmekangas,

revitalizations are “the

name of the game.”

The luxury home market in North Scottsdale, Arizona, requires not only strategic thinking but comprehensive understanding, unmatched networking and the utmost discretion. Million Dollar Listing Arizona, headed by Tim Halme-kangas, provides clients and business partners all of that and more.

A consummate entrepreneur who has lived in the area for over 25 years, Tim entered luxury real estate in 2011 after several years of owning a high-end construction firm. “We survived the downturn and witnessed the trends changing,” he says of his time in construction. “I’ve walked through the fire of the last economic downturn and I understand the heartache felt by so many. Now more than ever, I have a deep respect for every dollar a client wants to spend or to retrieve from a home they wish to sell. And we work care-fully and closely with individuals to create the best possible outcome for their situation.”

Consistently a Top Agent, the avid entrepreneur considers his deep market knowledge, personal approach and finely-honed negotiating skills to be a powerful resource when it comes to working with clients in DC Ranch, Silverleaf and through-out the Valley. “I’m not only a REALTOR®, I’m a principal in a development company here in North Scottsdale,” says Tim, adding that luxury home revitalizations are “the name of the game.” Working collaboratively, Million Dollar List-ing Arizona allows homeowners selling a dated house to take advantage of his partnerships with designers and contractors who can show buyers where a home’s opportunities lie. Together, Tim and his hand-picked team of associate partners

create a unique luxury lifestyle network that complements his business model and brings un-paralleled service to buyers and sellers.

As a brand, Million Dollar Listing Arizona is drawing new recognition from elite clientele. But you won’t catch Tim or his tightly networked as-sociates talking about the people they represent in affluent communities of Silverleaf, DC Ranch and throughout North Scottsdale. “Here we have affluence, including celebrities and sports fig-ures,” says Tim. “Given the clientele we represent, we stay relevant, offering services they want and respecting their privacy.” With technology con-tinually changing, Tim and his team identify and

provide necessary value that is unique to each client’s needs. Through the trust they build, they receive nearly 90% of their business from referrals.

“People know that we’re here for them long after a sale.” Expertise also de-fines the team’s exceptionally well networked partners. “There are a lot of very good agents out there,” Tim says. “But our hand-picked associates are experienced, tuned-in and prepared to respond to the trends.” Among newer trends is the tendency for savvy young wealthy Millennials to enter high-end markets like Tim’s. “These buyers are seeking transitional living with more contemporary looking homes,” he says. It’s a trend that has ignited the in-crease in remodels and revitalizations.

Noting that the remodeling trend will be around for a long time to come, the members of Million Dollar Listing Ar-

izona tailor their services to a need. The result is explosive business growth and unmatched op-portunities to provide custom service to buyers and sellers. These opportunities include linking clients to trusted networks of mortgage compa-nies, designers, contractors and more whom Tim calls upon personally to meet his clients’ needs. “Lots of fires can come up; we pride ourselves on being able to temper people’s emotions from contract through closing and making sure they’re happy long after the sale.”

For listings, the team provides a marketing pack-age including staging consultations, professional photography and videography, drone video and international marketing online and through high-end publications like the New York Times and the Robb Report. “This area has a lot of sea-sonal homeowners, so we take a multifaceted approach to marketing.”

To recharge, Tim enjoys spending time with his wife and three children whom, he says, “are growing up a lot faster than I’d like!” The future for Tim includes continually redefining his mar-ket over the next decade and blending in more lifestyle, design and construction partners to meet the complete needs of his clients. Finally, Tim insists that the team approach is not about him, but enhancing each associates’ strengths. “We complement each other. I want to impact their lives so they look back and remember how we all helped each other professionally while also impacting the lives of families who moved in and out of our community.”

Referring to the beauty of North Scottsdale, Tim says with his humble brand of confidence, “This is my backyard. I’ve raised my family here. I will always be here. And I help people by doing what I know I am good at.”
