Rich Baxter moved to Scottsdale, Arizona in 1974,
after spending his first twelve years in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Rich
is a third-generation Realtor and learned the fundamentals of the
real estate business around the dinner table.
After opening and managing Hampton Inn and
Residence Inn by Marriott hotels in the 1980s, Rich joined Realty
Executives in 1990 and began selling Scottsdale, Phoenix and
Paradise Valley real estate. Making the change was one of the best
things that I ever did. It is a labor of love!
Further rounding out his real estate resume, Rich
began buying rental homes and apartment properties in the early
1990s. Rich can offer his first-hand insight into buying and selling
residential income properties. Rich has helped clients buy and sell
during good times and bad in Scottsdale, Phoenix and Paradise
Valley.
In early 1998, Rich bumped
into an old friend from Scottsdale Saguaro High School. Standing in
a supermarket checkout line Julie Gordon was with her father, who
lives but two doors from Rich in The Village at Camelback Mountain.
The following week Rich and Julie were dating, and two years later
they were married. Rich and Julie now work closely together in the
real estate sales effort. Julie is an Arizona native and has been
licensed in real estate since 1983.
Rich and Julie reside with their Malty-Bichon,
Lilly, near the three-corner intersection of Scottsdale, Phoenix and
Paradise Valley. They love the area, being close to family, the
bustle of the Camelback Corridor, the beauty of Paradise Valley and
the recreation of the Scottsdale greenbelt. In their spare time,
Rich and Julie just enjoy being together.
