"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
"Spirit is an amazing real estate professional! He exceeded our expectations every step of the way! Spirit provided incomparable customer service, and a wealth of knowledge and experience! I feel like I may be ruined for working with real estate agents in the future, because Spirit set the bar extremely high! He always gave us his honest opinion and feedback regarding questions we had about properties or process. Spirit always made sure to reassure us that he was going to help us and guide us, but that the decision to buy a house is ours, and he didn't want us to feel pressured in any way. Spirit clearly operates on sound ethical principles, and we always felt that he had our best interests in mind. We pressed "pause" in our home buying journey for our own personal reasons, and Spirit was gracious and magnanimous regarding this decision, as well. We will buy a house in the near future, and Spirit will be our agent for the purchase!"
-d rob ward, Client
"Spirit is a dedicated, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable agent who is committed to ensuring his clients’ success. As a first time seller, he made sure we knew the process and what to expect, answered questions, and let us know when we had options for how to deal with any particular situation. I highly recommend anyone looking to buy or sell in Tucson reach out to Spirit first. He can also recommend the most squared away Title company and spot shady lenders a mile away and steer you clear. Definitely a safe bet to go with Spirit."
-Victoria S., 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
"Would absolutely recommend Spirit! Reached out through Zillow and he was in contact immediately. Very kind and knowledgeable. Thanks for all your help!"
-Ash Sch, 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
"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
"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
"Spirit has surpassed all our expectations. He is an excellent communicator which sets him apart from the his competitors. We were blessed to have found him!!"
-ericsatti1997, 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
"We can't recommend Spirit more highly! Selling our house has taken nearly 10 months (a week before we were scheduled to list a tree crushed our roof). He checked in regularly and even referred us to amazing contractors. Once the roof was repaired, we hit the market and had offers almost right away (even though this coincided with the beginning of the pandemic and shutdown). Spirit communicates frequently to let you know how showings are going and what type of feedback the property is getting from showings. He made us first-time sellers feel totally at ease throughout the whole process. The two things you will love most about working with Spirit: he is really easy to get in touch with (answers calls/texts/emails within hours), and perhaps even more importantly, he is just a really nice person!"
-Kris M., Client
"Spirit is a experience professional and a master on what he does. I would strongly recommend to anyone selling/buying their house. Even though he is a very busy real state professional in Tucson you are not going to even feel it because of the quality of time that he spends on you and the rapidness of his responses. He is always available and on top of everything. This is my first time selling and it was a smooth and easy process thanks to him. What I like the most is that he will support your ideas and give you advise for you to get the best! The reviews that he has from everyone are 100 % accurate you will get the best of the best his experience and his customer service are amazing! Thank you Spirit!"
-Sal O., 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
"Spirit is a truly gifted professional! He brought a wealth of knowledge to the table when it came to pricing my home. He really knows the market and has a great understanding of the central Tucson housing area. He was brilliant at finding solutions and bringing a calm/balanced perspective when I experienced problems along the way. Remarkably, his solutions always actually led to me finding myself--financially and contractually--in a better place than before the problems originally arose. When these problems outside of my control came up, Spirit was totally who I wanted in my corner. What would be almost unmanageable without Spirit, ultimately was a huge success. I will be forever grateful that Spirit was my realtor on this transaction. I feel wonderfully fortunate that Spirit guided me through this process!"
-Matt H., 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
"Spirit is highly knowledgeable of the Tucson market and diligent in his work. He is also detailed oriented and works quickly on obtaining information to make the buying/selling process easier."
-Sean R., Client
"This was our second time working with Spirit. The first was buying a home and now selling. We have really appreciated his dedication and knowledge in this field. He enjoys what he does! He is personable, organized, knows how to get things done efficiently, communicates well and is on the ball with time sensitive matters. He goes above and beyond and offers his wisdom with every step and also listens to our thoughts. We really appreciated this, since he has a broader—more experienced view. We had a tight timeline and appreciated that it went so smooth and quick! With all he’s helped us with, we definitely feel it’s worth it to have a realtor & Spirit has gone above and beyond for us. Couldn’t be more grateful & happy with our experience! Thanks Spirit!!!!"
-Laura F., Client
"Spirit really knows Tucson. We were first time out-of-town buyers. He was able to boil down the overall market picture and assist us with understanding the dynamics of the neighborhoods of interest. He was able to help us negotiate around other cash buyers in an extremely tight market. Thanks to Spirit we got the house. I have never met someone this enthusiastic, insightful and genuinely helpful in my house buying experiences. I HIGHLY recommend this fellow. His first name is no misnomer!"
-twitt5, Client
"When my wife and I bought our current home, we ended up with an agent by default: she was the one who had listed the property. She was terribly inexperienced and the deal almost fell through due to her ineptitude. When it came time to look for another property, I was determined to do my research and choose a good agent. I found Spirit’s website and liked what I read. He had made 63 sales in the previous 12 months and had 15 years of experience in the Tucson market. I also liked that he works alone. I didn’t want to work with a team, because I felt that I would end up with whoever on the team was available. I called Spirit on a weekend and not only did he answer the phone, he spoke with me at length to determine exactly what I was looking for. Throughout the process he has always been available and has responded promptly to my questions. The inspection period and escrow have gone very smoothly. He has been a wonderful ally, looking out for my interests. I wholeheartedly recommend him "
-Paul Y., 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 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
"I was in a hurry to buy a home as I was moving from another city. Spirit was the best guy to make this happen. He has an excellent knowledge of the area and what it will take to put your best foot forward in the buying process. Found a great place. Then we worked towards getting this done quickly and efficiently. He is always available to his customer. He is reliable...when he says he's going to do something, rest assured, it gets done. Through the entire process, Spirit was available to address any questions or concerns I had. I would highly recommend him if you are buying or selling property."
-ccw2268, Client
"Spirit is detail oriented, always follow through and knows the market in Tucson inside and out. We figured out exactly what I was looking for in my price range and where and every recommendation for/against certain properties was always in my preferences and only pushed once we found “the one”. HIGHLY recommend 10/10 will work with him again!"
-dmaviles20, 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
"Spirit is an expert and knows every block of Tucson inside and out. He will find you the exact house you are looking for and negotiate the best price for you. He is honest with his feedback which was extremely valuable! We will be using Spirit in the future for our future home purchases!"
-Erin W., Client
"Spirit really helped us sell our house quickly. We listed our home with one of the leading companies and had zero.... that’s right ZERO showing on our move-in ready, desirable home after almost 6 weeks[...]We decided this company wasn’t working FOR us and met with Spirit after coming highly recommended by a close friend. Before our house was even back on the market, Spirit had shown it and in the first week we had 4 showings. This occurred over the holidays and we didn’t expect much but while Spirit was out of town, we were very pleased that his colleagues felt we should have an open house for the whole weekend, and we didn’t even have to ask. Spirit really worked with us and FOR us to get our home sold. Within a couple weeks, we’d had over 25 showings and 3 offers. My only regret is that I hadn’t found Spirit and his team earlier so we could have sold our house quicker. Spirit is professional and works hard for his clients. "
-user1215408, Client
"Spirit was a sincere pleasure to work with. He is knowledgeable, communicative and more importantly very patient. We were looking for a house almost 1 year and finally bought a house we love so much with his help. Every time we had questions, he was always immediately responsive to all of our questions. I would definitely recommend Spirit to our friends when purchasing a house"
-bioej76, 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
"Deciding to start looking for a your first home is a decision that comes with a lot of excitement, tons of questions, a little anxiety and even a bit of fear at times. Having someone like Spirit in your corner, makes all these different feelings a lot easier to handle and digest. Spirit is someone who is not only passionate about helping you purchase your dream home, but he is also someone who will take care of you no matter what is thrown at you during your journey. I have been very lucky to have him as my realtor and I look forward to keep working with him in the future. His level of expertise and ability to educate you on all the different terms that you may have never heard before is one thing I have appreciated the most.
Know that you can trust him completely and he will take amazing care of you."
-Nadia R., Client
"Spirit was such a blessing for us! He guided us through what it was our first selling, and the entire process was super smooth. He is very knowledgeable, attentive, and extremely fast at responding. He really goes that extra mile to make sure his clients are happy and free from worries. We would re-hire him a million more times"
-Francesca P., Client
"As a first time home owner, I was expecting to be overwhelmed and stressed throughout this entire process. However, Spirit's patience, attention to detail, and experience made this entire process stress-free for me. He explained each step of the process and was readily available to answer any and all of my 100+ questions. More importantly, Spirit puts his clients first. Meaning he doesn't pressure you, he looks for what you're looking for in a home, prioritizes safety, and provides open and honest opinions. I couldn’t have ask for a better agent to work with and I highly recommend him, Spirit is simply the best."
-Cass G., 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
"We needed to use Spirit to assist us with purchasing a home in Tucson where our son will be living for college. Spirit’s knowledge of the area was excellent as was his understanding that safety would be paramount. He was able to guide us through the process and away from potential problems. I would definitely recommend him."
-ccarothers86, Client
"We were looking to purchase a home in a state we don't currently live in and picked Spirit based on his great Zillow reviews. The 5-star rating is certainly justified - he is responsive, incredibly knowledgeable about his market and happy to share that knowledge, as well as very accommodating. We flew in for one day of viewings and he was able to put together a schedule to see 10+ properties all over the city in just a few hours. We had an offer in and accepted within a couple of days and the whole process through close has been easy and enjoyable. Plus he's just a nice guy!"
-Adrienne W., 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 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
"Mr. Messinghams method/skill of pricing and negotiating resulted in selling my property for more than I thought market conditions warranted, he knows when to hold and when to fold. Additionally, he was able to list my property very quickly and he expertly guided me through every step despite being handicapped by my out-of-state relocation. I feel he did an outstanding job of looking out for his client!"
-zuser20170108183601270, 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
"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
"We feel so fortunate to have had Spirit as our realtor. He exceeded our expectations with every step of the home buying process. From his prompt responses to our questions to knowledge about the different neighborhoods of Tucson, we were consistently pleased with all he had to offer as a realtor. He blends professionalism with personality seamlessly. We would not hesitate to recommend Spirit to anyone!"
-Allison W., 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."
-aconroy1, Client
"Spirit is thorough and helpful, and willing to go the extra mile. Very responsive, which is an exceptional attribute in this process! I have recommended him to my friends and family repeatedly, and can recommend him here again without qualms."

-44mcallister, 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 has been absolutely amazing throughout the process of selling our home. He is incredibly professional, excellent with quick and clear communication, and always made me feel that he had time for me. He calmed my nerves when I needed it and has gotten us through this sale with the least amount of stress possible. I always felt like he was acting in our best interest and that he was there for us at any time. He's a straight-shooter and really knows the market. I am so grateful that I chose Spirit to be our realtor. You will be too!"
-murralison, 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
"Highly recommend Spirit! We were out of state buyers searching, touring, and closing virtually amid a pandemic and hot market. Spirit is exceptionally communicative and always available and timely. Spirit is also proactive in his approaches and communications and makes everything very easy for buyers. On top of that Spirit has added value of extreme market and Tucson area knowledge and a keen eye for detail that serves buyers well as an added value. We felt this at our interview with Spirit and glad our instincts were right and we were in great hands for our search!"
-William K., 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
"Spirit is the best Agent! He has so much knowledge, depth and experience which allows him to make detailed suggestions on how to handle the ever changing Tucson market. Buying a house is a stressful process combined with us being from another state really kicked it up a notch. Spirit's wonderful and calm personality was helpful for us with all our questions and decision making. He also has fantastic industry connections we relied on to give us insight into what issues were troublesome and how to deal with other areas of concern.
We are so glad we chose Spirit to represent us. You will be too!"
-zuser20140608202726170, 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."
