About Me:
Hello! My name is Gergen (jur·gn). I appreciate your wanting to know a little about me.
I was raised in the Puget Sound region of Western Washington, between Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia and up the Peninsula. It was a beautiful place to grow up and live - the Pacific Northwest will always hold a dear spot in my heart. I met and married my beautiful Bride, Donna, in Tacoma. We started and raised our family in DuPont, a city neighboring our Best and Bravest serving at Joint Base Lewis McChord. I started my real estate career there at John L Scott DuPont in 2012. By the next year, I was blessed to become a co-owner of that same DuPont office. We have since grown to 4 John L Scott franchise offices and 80+ awesome agents, staff, and leaders.
Two years ago, my wife, family, and I visited Arizona for the first time and simply fell in love. We were captivated by the sunshine, energy and vibrant growth. Everything felt...right. We all learned and grew accustomed to more virtual ways of working and connecting through the pandemic. With that new perspective, we realized we love what we have built in Washington and can continue to celebrate and contribute, but it was time for our next chapter...
...Moving to Arizona. First, if you're relocating, I have some great tips to make your move and new home a smoother experience. Next, since calling Arizona home, we have learned and grown so much. From hikes, lakes, sports (yes, pickle-ball is growing crazy), entertainment, all levels of dining and more, the Valley always has something new (and Old West) to offer.
Living in Arizona, I wanted to work with a brokerage that felt like our John L Scott Talent Group. Our tribe in Washington will always be there, but I needed to find a complement here. I found that with ProSmart Realty. Founded over 15 years ago in a small Gilbert office space, ProSmart is Arizona. With a focus on relationships, care, and professionalism, I joined a family of over 200 awesome Pros that live and breathe the Valley and it's vitality.
Along with the fantastic support at ProSmart and John L Scott, I'm a RENI Master Certified Negotiation Expert and NAR Certified Military Relocation Professional, At Home with Diversity Professional and ePro. Relocation has always been an area of focus for me as a Leading Real Estate Companies of the World relocation agent at John L Scott. I have extensive experience in new construction (buyer and builder representation), resale, investment, land, and luxury. Additionally, personal growth, leadership, and assisting others led me to becoming a Certified Coach, Trainer, and Speaker with the John Maxwell Team.
To serve, contribute and lift up is why real estate is such a passion for me.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me. Let me know how I can help, whether that is buying/selling/investing, a little advice, or a kind word. I appreciate you.
As a John L. Scott broker, my mission is transactional excellence and client satisfaction. That means I work tirelessly to make your home buying or selling process as efficient, stress-free and lucrative for you as possible.
Representation
I take pride in offering high-caliber full-service residential real estate expertise. My clients are my top priority, and I focus on delivering the best possible results for them.
Expertise
The real estate market is hyperlocal, seasonal and temperamental—in other words, it can change on a dime. Technology has made information more accessible to everyone, but it can be difficult to keep up with recent events that affect home values. The benefits of working with a licensed real estate professional go far beyond what a mobile app, online video, or website can do.
I provide my clients with information on market seasonality and information relevant to what is happening in their specific neighborhood. This customized analysis includes recent comparable sales that factor into an offer and acceptance strategy.
Negotiations
Successful negotiations help move a conversation forward and transform the process into an agreement that’s a win for all parties. Negotiation is not only a skill, but a mindset. I keep my clients’ best interests top of mind as I negotiate on their behalf.
Transactional Excellence
I am dedicated to transactional excellence for every listing and sale. What this means for you is that I oversee every detail of the real estate transaction. The transaction is far from over once an offer has been accepted. I monitor inspections, appraisals, title, escrow and loan processes. Communication and collaboration with all the partners and parties involved with the transaction ensures a smooth and timely closing. I am committed to my clients before, during and after a sale.
