"Spirit is the kind of real estate agent you want to have in your corner when negotiating a real estate contract. He is personable, detail-oriented, swift to respond and most importantly, smart. Spirit was recommended to me by another client. He proved his value throughout the whole real estate transaction. I recommend him to be your real estate agent."

"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
"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."
-Kate F., 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."

"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
"Spirit is the real deal. You don't have to look any further...call him immediately if you are buying or selling a home. Spirit helped us sell our home that had been listed for awhile and we began to think was unsellable.
Pros: 1. He has sold tons of homes, which means he has immense experience and expertise. This is invaluable. You need a realtor who knows the market, neighborhood, homes, what works and what doesn't. 2. He will be straight with you. He's super likable and a great person, and at the same time will be truthful regarding your home and what you need to do. I appreciated this balance. 3. That's right, there's no other person you talk to when you have a question about your home or need paperwork filled out. 4. He gives you a weekly update. Every. single. week. 5. He gets the job done. Call him and talk to him.
Cons: The ONLY con I can think of is that I think he needs to take a vacation once in awhile. "
-Lana G., 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 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 THE BEST of the best and I am so grateful to have found him to be my listing agent. I don’t live in Arizona and Spirit made the selling experience as smooth as silk. We’re currently in escrow and I could never have imagined the process being as smooth and stress-free as it has been. He clearly manages expectations up front and throughout the process, so you always know what’s happening and what will happen next. Spirit acted as my eyes and ears, reporting status and sending pictures real-time. He worked efficiently with my property manager through the transition of the vacating tenant and cleanup, and he helped me coordinate the painting, and repairs, sometimes taking it upon himself to get things in order so his photographer could take pictures and get the house listed sooner. I’m still amazed how quickly the process is happening. If I had to sum up Spirit in just a few words they would be DEPENDABLE, EXPERT, PROACTIVE, RESPONSIVE…and a BLESSING and PLEASURE to work with"
-Diane G., Client
"Our experience was somewhat unique in that we were out of state buyers, did not know anyone in the area and purchased virtually before seeing it in person-all during a pandemic! Spirit was amazing and helped us every step of the way. We trusted his guidance and opinions. Spirit always got back to us timely and stayed on top of things even though everything was handled via phone or email. Spirit is an expert and knows his stuff, we would use him again and recommend him. I found him on Zillow and first read reviews and the 5 star reviews are accurate. Thank you Spirit!"
-bmfry2007, Client
"My husband and I used Spirit to sell our Tucson home when we relocated to Denver. We had an exceptional experience with Spirit. We sold in three days over asking price. The entire transaction was seamless and we would certainly use him again if in the Tucson area. Spirit was great at keeping us informed all the way up to closing as we were already in Denver. Spirit is a true professional and it is evident that he takes real pride in the way he conducts business."
-Leona30305, 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 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 the best! He is a local expert and knows everything about the market. Professional, easy to work with, and always thinking ahead about what's next in the buying process. His expertise comes in handy at every step of the process, and we wouldn't trust anyone else!"
-Erin LW, 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 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
"If you are looking for a professional, honest, and quick responsive realtor, Spirit is the person you will like to work with. Spirit helped us to buy our condo four years ago and just helped us to sell it this month. He came to our home, checked the condo conditions, and made suggestions on listing price/if improvement is needed. We are not in town during the selling process, but Spirit kept us informed of the offers and gave suggestions on how to respond based on his knowledge. Everything is just beyond our expectation.
We now live in another state and started to work with local realtors. I just wish they can be as great and amazing as Spirit. We fell so lucky that we worked with Spirit among many others out there. Not everyone is like him. If one day we move back to Tucson, Spirit will be the person I call to help us with house-hunting."
-tjjawp, 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 was a fantastic resource throughout the entire buying process. As a first time home buyer there were many things I was encountering for the first time, however Spirit was great in explaining and leading the entire process. Furthermore, as an out of state buyer, Spirit made this is a very seamless experience. I would highly recommend to anyone."
-Kevin S., 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
"Spirit's local knowledge was extremely helpful in understanding the pulse of Tucson real estate, being aware of current and future urban projects and developments, neighborhood-by-neighborhood historical pricing, pros and cons of local properties and conditions compared to other Tucson homes. Highly recommended if you are looking for a local, informed view into this real estate market. Thanks again, Spirit!"
-hellocward, 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
"Spirit was a pleasure to work with. As a first time homebuyer I had very little knowledge on what to do. Spirit was helpful, responsive, and very knowledgeable about the area I wanted to purchase in (Central Tucson). It was his connections and experience that ultimately helped me get a house in a crazy market. I would definitely recommend Spirit to anyone looking for a house."
-sgsantillan, 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
"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 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 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
"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
"I contacted Spirit to ask if he would be interested in helping my wife and I in exploring Tucson and the real estate market. I explained right away that we weren't sure we were ready to buy but wanted to get to know Tucson. Spirit told me he understood and couldn't have been more helpful. He showed us several properties and gave us a tour of Tucson. He knows Tucson and the real estate market extremely well. If we decide to take the plunge we will definitely use Spirit. I highly recommend him."
-Jamesemcm, Client
"Spirit not only offers years of experience, but a lot of tranquility for a stressful process. His expertise with the areas and market provide a BIG relief that truly makes for a great relationship. You need someone you can trust and help guide you through the process and there is no one better. He helped keep us in the area we preferred (Central), knew the neighborhood and school districts well."
-Crys L., 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
"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'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
"Was excellent to work with and would gladly use him again! His knowledge and experience we're instrumental in this home buying process. Always prompt and responsive, couldn't say enough good things about our experience."
-Eddie 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
"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
"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
"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 knows Central Tucson like no one. He helps me to buy my first home. He was patience explain me the entire process. Even with a short notice, he could make space to show me houses. The level of experience he has is incredible. He got me a house in the first intent. I am super happy with my house and with the personalize service that Spirit offered me."
-Etienne B., 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
"My wife and I used Spirit to sell our house in midtown (Pima and Alvernon). We were beyond satisfied with the results! Throughout the process he guided us on what steps would be work taking and what wouldn’t. He was always available for questions and kept us constantly updated on progress. During the negotiation process, he provided prompt, expert advice. Finally, when the title agency failed to be responsive on the eve of closing, Spirit stepped in to make sure everything went smoothly. I would (and have) recommend Spirit for anyone’s real estate needs."
-J T Walters3, 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
"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 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.

-44mcallister, Client
"My spouse and I were impressed with Spirit Messingham's speedy and intelligent expertise. His communication style was direct and helpful. As out of state home buyers, his knowledge about the importance of location in Tucson and pricing was invaluable. When we were ready to make an offer, he was available on a Saturday and major holiday. We highly recommend Spirit."
-aimeeandphil, 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 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 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!"
