"Spirit's knowledge and experience proved to be invaluable during the home buying process. As a first time home buyer, I was unsure of many of the steps associated with it. Spirit did an outstanding job not only of explaining each step, but making me feel at ease. I would not hesitate to recommend Spirit to any one looking to buy/sell a home!"
-Drew R., Client
"I have lived in Tucson for well over 45 years and have known many real estate agents. I consider Spirit quite simply the best of all in this city. In every aspect of real estate sales I cannot imagine anybody coming close to him. His negotiation skills are incomparable, and the best part of these is he never did any sort of arm-twisting with me. He was always on the point and presented pros and cons without any sort of manipulative cleverness or dishonesty. Always prompt and always considerate, he inspired the kind of confidence in me that I generally never had in real estate agents. In fact, that is what made me pay attention to anything he said. I am very glad I chose him to sell my home."
-sraval1945, Client
"Spirit has helped me buy two houses and sell one of them. Each time he was professional and extremely knowledgeable. When I bought my first house with my then wife, he knew exactly where to go and that the market would be in our favor. In two years, when I divorced, we made a killing on it, just as he said. He then helped me buy my current house. In short, if you want someone in your corner and want to be in central Tucson, go see Spirit!!!!!!!!!"
-Tucson 1006, Client
"Spirit was great to work with. If your looking for a knowledgeable and hardworking individual he is the one for you! He is great on response time and puts a lot of time effort and passion into his job."
-kirchberger, Client
"This was our second transaction with Spirit. He helped us purchase this home in 2020, and now sell the same property in 2021. When circumstances beyond our control required us to sell, without any hesitation we contacted Spirit. To say it was an easy, fast, painless experience is the understatement of the year. We never even had to list the house! Spirit's massive network of connections/clients landed us buyers before the house was even scheduled to hit the market. We feel beyond fortunate to have such a talented, honest reliable realtor at our fingertips. It's not often that transactions like these end so smoothly (especially in such a hot market) and we're forever grateful to have had Spirit guiding the way. He ensured that despite such a chaotic time in our lives, we have a great memory to look back on. Without any hesitation, we will recommend Spirit to anyone looking to buy or sell in Tucson."
-sunkenhopes, Client
"Spirit is the man! You can't go wrong with him. He does absolutely everything for you and goes above and beyond for his clients. A+ experience. I highly recommend him if you are buying or selling a home!"
-Ryan B., Client
"If you are looking for a hardworking, knowledgeable and seasoned realtor, Spirit is your man! My experience with him was top notch! He knows his business, does what he says he'll do and within the timeframe he says he'll do it. My transaction went quickly, smoothly and without any hassles or problems. He knows the ever-changing market and works hard to get you top dollar. Spirit is a true professional! Thank you Spirit!"
-lblowers17, Client
"Spirit is the nicest guy he will do his very very best to accommodate your every need, he knows his business, he's sharp, I felt very comfortable working with Sprit, he being in AZ. and I in another State wanting to buy a home in Tucson, it was great experience and a pleasure doing business with him !!"
-Laura M., Client
"First off, Spirit was the only agent to answer my email request. He was prompt and professional and didn't waste my time. When we are better prepared to purchase, we will definitely contact him."
-zuser20170625153918335, Client
"Spirit Messingham took over the listing after another agent had the listing for 7 weeks. The first agent had very few viewers and NO offers. Spirit had the property sold in two weeks. Spirit understands the market and the pricing. I highly recommend him."
-Dick29, Client
"I have bought and sold 5 homes in 4 states over 40+ years and Spirit provided service at an unparalleled high level. He clearly knows the Tucson market very well. His knowledge of the entire buying and selling process is remarkable. He's an effective listener and stands out particularly for the speed of his responses to inquiries. Spirit offers valuable information without wandering into providing unsolicited advice. My recommendation comes with no reservations or qualifications."
-dagmfg6, Client
"When I needed to get the job done, I turned to Spirit and he delivered! He is personable, professional, and an expert at Central Tucson as advertised. By going the extra mile and working fast on our behalf, Spirit helped my family find the best fit for our needs at a great price! I'm so grateful for his time, attention, responsiveness, and high ethical standards. Happy in my new home, I highly recommend Spirit for anyone looking to buy or sell!"
-TwoNJenn, Client
"I cannot say enough great things about Spirit. Fact of the matter is, we very likely would not have gotten our dream home if it weren't for him. Everything we wanted, we got. He even brought along a crew - "Team Spirit" - lender, inspectors, title company.... everyone he suggested was absolutely amazing USE THEM. I was getting the runaround from a lot of lenders until I used the one he suggested, and everything became so much more smooth after - we even closed 3 weeks early! He is extremely knowledgeable not only about the real estate market, but all the ins and outs of the home search and what should/should not be acceptable for your future home. He was honest and really was value added when it came to looking at homes, which I appreciated greatly. Spirit took care of everything for us, this process was so much less stressful because of him and his hard work. We were able to enjoy the process and know that we were in good hands, there is no better compliment than that!"
-Ally F., Client
"Spirit was very knowledgeable about the local real estate market. He helped us price our property correctly and it sold quickly. When we had questions about the process, Spirit was quick to answer and offer advice. We will work with Spirit again on real estate transactions, he has gained our trust and respect."
-montanokd, Client
"Spirit was very professional, efficient, and motivated from the start. He explained the entire process of listing and selling a home at the start and then continued to explain each step as we went along. He was able to list our home and get it under contract very quickly. When the initial offer/contract fell through, he was able to find another buyer and get us under contract again without losing any momentum. He was very helpful in explaining the inspection report and making recommendations for repairs, while also negotiating with the buyer and their agent. Overall, he was extremely responsive, honest, and transparent, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone selling a home in the Tucson area!"
-famunoz1107, Client
"Spirit was an absolute joy to work with! He was able to negotiate a very popular property in an extremely difficult market. This is something that few agents are able to do. I look forward in working with Spirit again."
-Courtney L., Client
"Spirit was recommended to us by a friend and he did not disappoint. He listened to what we wanted in a home and made sure to find options that fit us. Spirit obviously loves his job and was willing to go the extra mile to help us find our forever home! We highly recommend him!"
-Emily S., Client
"Spirit was our agent when we bought our house in 2015, and again when we sold the same house six years later in 2021. Thus we have very good knowledge of Spirit as both buyer's and seller's agent. He does an excellent job for his clients. We will work with him again when we look to repurchase in the future."
-rezro, Client
"Spirit is honestly the most prompt and efficient realtor I have ever worked with. He couldn't have been more on top of things at every stage of the process. My husband and I also really appreciated his honesty in the home searching process. He did an amazing job educating us about what to look for and pointing out the pro's and con's of each home we visited. It was so clear that he truly wanted us to buy a home we love versus make a sale. We HIGHLY recommend working with Spirit to buy or sell a home. He's fantastic at what he does and is a truly kind and enjoyable person to be around!"
-Shaelyn82, Client
"Spirit is trustworthy, hardworking and capable. That is probably all that I would need to tell you about a real state agent. But the best part is that he is also a super nice guy. He understands that a house is also a home and finds pride and joy on finding a good place for people to live in. He does this without letting it get on the way of business: he works to get a reasonable price for your house (if you are selling) and to find you the house you want at a reasonable price (if you are buying). Spirit can do this because he knows the neighborhoods and, most impressively, he can tell you which houses were sold when and how over the last years. He really has the pulse for how the market is evolving in the area and what you can expect.
If you are dealing with real state, give him a call. You can thank me later."
-P.S., Client
"I couldn’t have wished for anyone better. He made our experience so easy!! Super responsive always kept us in the loop of what was going on. We closed on selling our house within days of putting it on the market. The man is a Superstar!!"
-J.J.T., Client
"If you want a team of real estate agents to molly-coddle you through the buying or selling process M-F from 9am to 5pm, don’t go with Spirit. If you want the best damn real estate agent I have ever worked with (this is our 2nd house), then yes, go with Spirit Messingham. He knows every inch of Tucson to a degree that astonished me. He will answer your texts at 10pm (don’t ask!) He will share your excitement for a new home. He helped us negotiate a house down by $25k from asking price in a booming seller’s market, and then got Seller Concessions on top of that! He also told us when we needed to cool our jets and give him time to work. And you need that sometimes too! He is an EXPERT, and when it comes to real estate, the customer is often wrong. He doesn’t make you feel bad for being wrong, but he doesn’t leave you questioning what will and won’t work in Tucson’s housing market. He is the real estate you want if you want the best house at the best price with the best deal."
-Douglas M., Client
"Simply put, Spirit is a master of his craft. His work ethic alone would warrant an excellent review. But combined with his knowledge of Tucson as a whole, attention to detail, professionalism, and a genuine supportiveness to those he is working with marks him as one of the best at what he does. As a first time home buyer he was patient, informative, and provided solid guidance when needed. His reputation with other professionals was paramount in securing a house and paved the way for a completely smooth home buying experience. I can easily advocate Spirit to anyone looking to work with a quality real estate professional/person as a whole!"
-Wyatt S., Client
"Spirit is an excellent realtor - we could not have asked for more. He created a portal with instant access to homes that met our exact search parameters. He was available to show homes whenever we needed him, for as long as we needed, with never a single complaint. He is knowledgeable, responsive, service-oriented, detail-oriented and he happens be a very interesting and fun person to be around (which is important, because you spend a lot of time with your realtor during this process). He also refers you to excellent resources (lenders, title, contractors, inspectors, etc., etc.) who all are top notch and provide wonderful service. I cannot say enough about the fantastic job that Spirit did throughout this process. Now, we look forward to having him sell our prior house!"
-jkroeger3, Client
"I recently sold a house with Spirit and while this can be a very stressful process, I felt 110% confident by partnering with him. I was also in the middle of a contested divorce and he was such a diplomat and professional. He was candid, provided great feedback, helped explain clearly all details and managed to push when needed. He handled negotiation brilliantly. In addition, he was extremely responsive to every one of both of our questions. I am extremely certain Spirit will be the right partner to help anyone in ANY situation navigate this process."
-thecedgroup, Client
"Spirit listed my home for sale and advised me as to what I needed to do to get it ready for sale, what the proper listing price should be and what to expect along every step of the way. We sold the home quickly and for a great price and most importantly, Spirit kept me informed throughout the process. I felt I was fully represented and as if I was his number one priority. Selling a house can be very stressful and he made it practically stress free. I will recommend him to anyone who needs a realtor, and if I ever buy or sell again, I am sure I would want him to represent me."
-Sharon B., Client
"Spirit is the right real estate agent for you. We found ourselves in a unique situation, ended up purchasing the house we were renting and could not have made that purchase without him in our corner. Before committing to buying, he arranged for proper inspections of the property and professionally walked us through all the legalities that come with buying a home. It was our first house for either of us and we really valued Spirit's experience!"
-arbyrantz, Client
"If you need someone to get the job done, that person is Spirit Messingham. I am a first-time home buyer. I did all my research, read a ton online, and went to open houses. I even listened to podcasts on first time home buying. I was on a mission to find my dream home and needed an amazing realtor to guide me. I had interviewed and researched dozens of them. I was contacted by Spirit initially on a home that I looked at. He took the time to talk to me even though I was not his client yet. He is the real deal and yes—a true unicorn realtor. His knowledge of the industry is unparalleled, and he is so willing to share it. I thought I knew a lot, but I learned so much from him. He listens and gets to know you as a buyer. He is almost always available (7 days a week) and works to help you meet your goals. He says things out loud that you are thinking and will keep you on track with your intention and goals for your future home.
"
-Tuan V., Client
"A a few years ago Spirit had helped me find my first home and was fantastic! When it came time to sell he was the only realtor I had ever considered. He had my home under contract in two days after only one showing! Spirit has extensive knowledge and experience in real estate and will take his time to explain how the process works and answer any questions, no matter how trivial they might seem. He has excellent working relationships with other realtors which has defintley helped streamline the whole process. Spirit has been my realtor for a total of three transactions: buying my first home, selling my first home, and buying my second home. All three have been as painless as possible as that is due to Spirit’s knowledge, organization, and communication. My experience with Spirit has shown me that he is a man of integrity with a passion for real estate."
-mtbgunner, Client
"When I started looking for my first Home I never expected I would be putting an offer in on my dream home four days later, but that’s exactly what Spirit Messingham did for me.
It is not ironic that the man’s name is Spirit because he is truly an angel of a man. I had no idea what I was doing but he held my hand through the whole process and made everything easy. Spirit was also able to connect me with the best financing/loan officer in Tucson who was just as careful to guide me along my path.
Five weeks later now and I am sitting out side of the local cable company getting ready to pick up my modem for my brand new and gorgeous home. Never has anything so difficult been made so simple and easy. If Spirit tells you to do something, jump! The man truly knows what he’s doing and is an asset to the Tucson community. Thank You Spirit. I’ll definitely see you when it’s time to buy the next one!"
-soliloquy4me, Client
"Spirit recently helped me sell my condominium, selling less than 48hrs after listing. He is without doubt one of the most professional yet personable Realtors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He is honest, open, concise and timely in all his communication. His advice was spot on at all points through the process and the final outcome surpassed all my expectations."
-nicolasm1, Client
"Spirit is a ‘standout’ in the real estate industry. He provides so much knowledge and insight for his clients that you feel more confident in your decision making and the process as you navigate through a purchase. More importantly he trustworthy and kind to all."
-Mary M., Client
"very professional and extremely honest. He is well connected to the industry and has the connections to make it happen. Priced my home higher than I thought, but assured me it would sell. He was able to bring interested buyers who saw the value the property represented and it sold for the full asking price. Couldn't be more pleased. Will be using Spirit for any needs in the future."
-Jerry D., Client
"Spirit went above and beyond to provide us a stellar experience when selling our home and buying a new one. Even though he has many clients, Spirit makes you feel as though you are his only client and his number one priority. One, of many, things we truly appreciated was how he educated us throughout the whole process. He took the time to explain every step, give us the pros and cons of every decision, and he thoroughly answered every question we had (which was a lot). Additionally, anytime we emailed, texted, or called him with a question he responded immediately, no matter the day or time (I'm pretty sure he never sleeps).
A couple of days before Christmas we saw a house pop up in the portal he created for us. It looked perfect and we knew it would sell fast. Despite it being the holidays he happily dropped everything to come show it to us. Long story short, we got the house and we love it!
"
-Jess F., Client
"Spirit provided the highest quality service one could ask for when looking to purchase a home in Tucson. His market knowledge was invaluable in helping us choose the right location. We are not local to Tucson so his insight and guidance was crucial in finding the right house. Once we identified the home we wished to purchase, Spirit advised how we should structure our offer to stand out in this crazy, highly competitive market. Happily, we are under contract and will close shortly. Spirit managed all inspections, guided us on reviewing documents, reminded us to set up utilities, and paid attention to all those details that go into purchasing a home. I highly recommend Spirit for your buying or selling needs in Tucson."
-Nancy G., Client
"Spirit knows his stuff! He is quick in responding to my questions and when there is a "problem" between buyer and seller, he is able to quickly identify the issue and figure out a way to correct it. Spirit is easy going and great to work with!"
-kassandra34, Client
"I have worked with Spirit previously and I will continue to use his expertise when it comes to real estate. His knowledge through the difficult and stressful process of home buying was much appreciated. He is awesome and I would highly recommend working with him."
-Dean S., Client
"We worked with Spirit on the sale and purchase of our homes. Selling our home with Spirit was a great experience. His knowledge of real estate (he'll give you all of the info, whether you want it or not :-) ), the central region, and his commitment made the process smooth and stress free. He was always there to answer our questions or concerns. I highly recommend Spirit for either selling or buying, he is top notch."
-Stephanie D., Client
"Spirit is a very detailed and professional realtor. My wife and I presented Spirit with a very complicated set of circumstances, an estate sale with a tight time schedule, the sale of every thing we own, and moving out of the country. Spirit pulled all of this together and sold the house without a hickup in less than a month. Spirit’s team provided a marketing plan including professional grade drone video of our property, house pictures, and an up-dated floor plan drawing that showed we actually had an additional 60 square feet of interior space. Spirit’s knowledge of the Tucson real estate market, and excellent communication skill set made us feel very comfortable and he was always available for any question that we had. Our family would highly recommend Spirit."
-jwsherlock52, Client
"I would highly recommend Spirit to anyone buying a home. He is always available to help with any questions or concerns despite his busy schedule. The whole process of buying our new home from start to finish went smoothly not only because of Spirit's attention to detail but also because of the people he recommended from the home inspector to the loan company. Everyone was on top of their game and made the whole process easy."
-gbs pc, Client
"Sold quickly with good advice from Spirit. He was Knowledgeable, courteous, yet always responded quickly and personally. Made the process actually seem easy. Never made us the middleman. I have bought and sold 8 homes in my life and this was by far the best experience thanks to Spirit. I would recommend to anyone from their first home purchase or sale to their last, like us. I would give him an even higher rating if possible. He is not one of the best he is the best."
-Art85745, Client
"Buying or selling, use Spirit! Using anyone else is a mistake. He helped me do both. Fast and easy with no stress. He specializes in central Tucson. When I buy again, I’ll totally call Spirit. He understands the neighborhood, schools, and the value of the house."

Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2021 in Tucson, AZ.
Local knowledge
Process expertise
Responsiveness
Negotiation skills
I am a first time home buyer. I never thought owning a home was a possibility for me due to student loans and being a single woman. Spirit helped me to believe in myself and became not only a trustworthy relator, but also a friend who helped me through this process.
I had zero knowledge when it came to buying a home and Spirit graciously, patiently, and professional walked me through, step by step. He was incredibly proactive in finding homes that he knew would fit my budget and lifestyle.
Spirit is not only an expert in his field but is passionate about helping people. Buying a home for me is an incredible investment and will help me financially for years to come; I could have never done this with out his help. Spirit has been such a blessing!"
-Leigh Anne D., Client
"Spirit is a true professional realtor. He responded to emails and texts within minutes, always keeping me informed. He made the process of selling my home easy by providing me with all the information I needed. Would definitely recommend him."
-Lind S., Client
"I first reached out to Spirit through the Zillow app when my wife and I began our home search about a year ago. We had a great conversation and I was impressed with his knowledge of so many neighborhoods in Tucson as well as his passion for real estate- including genuine interest in the history and architecture of each area.
When my wife and I began our search in earnest, several months later, I contacted Spirit directly. He was attentive and responsive from the very start, listening to our goals and wishlist items to get a sense of our needs as well as our unique situation. He was very proactive and helpful throughout and brought many resources through his extensive local networks to bear on all aspects ya of the process (including lining up contractors and inspectors at the drop of a hat). Spirit is a courteous, knowledgeable and very efficient, motivated realtor."
-The Bald Avenger, Client
"My husband and I are first time home buyers, just moved from Ohio to AZ and knew absolutely nothing about the homes in Tucson, let alone anything about living in the desert/ Tucson area. Spirit was such a fantastic agent throughout this process, and we truly couldn't recommend him enough. He was patient, transparent, communicative, and flexible. He listened to what was important to us, offered his incredible expertise when asked and needed, and found us a home that we are over the moon to move into. Spirit is reliable and we appreciate his honesty throughout this process; he made finding our home into a invaluable experience where we learned SO much. We are forever grateful for all the work, support, and guidance he put in for us and should we need an agent again, we will definitely ask Spirit. You will not be disappointed in choosing Spirit!"
-Breanna L., Client
"We worked with Spirit to sell our midtown house -- he was thorough and transparent about the ups and downs we experienced (we were under contract multiple times), and was a great and consistent communicator. Spirit was an excellent partner for us and we would absolutely work with him again."
-mizlizzy, Client
"Spirit is very professional. Every time I called or texted him, I was talking with him and not a secretary or a team. I got my answers immediately. He said he was going to give us an update every Friday - and he did. He dealt with the clients and found us a buyer in a matter of days, and took all the work out of our hands. We will use him again."
-theone 72, Client
"Spirit goes above and beyond on all aspects of his profession. He is professional, prompt, organized and knows all the ins and outs of real estate. He listens to what your goals are and then adopts them as his own and makes the goal become reality. His high energy positive attitude makes buying or selling a home a enjoyable experience. If you want honest advice, and your transaction completed in record time, Spirit is the only realtor for you!"
-Sara B., Client
"We really lucked out getting Spirit’s help with our search for a house in Tucson. His local knowledge was extremely helpful as we really know nothing about the area. He showed us a number of houses on very short notice. His expertise is amazing.
When we are ready to purchase a home in Tucson, we will definitely want Spirit as our realtor!"
