"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 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!"

"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

"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 just closed on a house in Tucson with Spirit. We are out of state investors and needed someone with experience and great knowledge of the area to guide us through the process. In Spirit we found exactly that. He was very helpful and did his best to understand our needs and find the home that we were looking for. We definitely recommend him and we'll use him for our next purchase."

  -Anton S., Client

"We worked with Spirit in the fall of 2020 to purchase a new home. That transaction went very well, due in large part to Spirit’s drive, knowledge of the Tucson market, and connections within the real estate community. When it was time to sell our former residence, there was no question who we wanted to list our home. In the current market, many listings are rushed, and it shows—un-focused cellphone pictures and lackluster descriptions of the property that do nothing to entice one to want to view the home. That is not what you get with Spirit. Even though homes sell quickly, Spirit prides himself on his listings. After settling on a listing price, Spirit said, “leave the rest to me.” And, as always, he was true to his word. Within days he had professional photographs taken, a floorplan rendered, and an enticing listing prepared. The home had an asking-price buyer before it even hit the market. Do yourself a favor, choose Spirit to represent you in your real estate transaction."

  -Stephane A., 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

"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 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 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

"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 recently sold our house in Tucson after it was listed for a short two weeks. I had worked with other Tucson realtors in the past and Spirit is in a class of his own. Spirit’s honesty, integrity, and hard work ethic, I believe, has set himself apart from other realtors. Spirit kept us up-to-date and communicated with us on a regular basis during the escrow process. He is a top-notch professional who works hard and will get the job done. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Spirit if you are looking for someone to sell your home."

  -Judy L., 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

"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

"Spirit's skill and expertise guided me through a challenging real estate transaction and closing. He has a wide base of knowledge essential in negotiating contracts. Thanks, Spirit."

  -Veronica Y., 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

"I've bought and sold quite a few properties, but the transaction we just completed with Sprit as the listing agent was by far the smoothest to date. That's saying a lot considering I was out of state the entire transaction and Spirit handled all the arrangements for quotes and repairs which took a lot of weight off my shoulders. Spirit is also a master negotiator, which is crucial in getting the most out of your investment. I have no doubt that no other realtor could have handled the transaction better or could have gotten us a better return on our investment. Wish we could clone Sprit so he could represent us in every state we buy and sell real estate in."

  -happymoe74, 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 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!"

  -mhewitt530, Client

"I would wholeheartedly recommend Spirit to anyone looking to buy a home in Tucson. It didn't take long for Spirit to understand exactly what I was looking for and narrow down the search accordingly. The real estate market in Tucson is currently booming and we knew if we found one that fit my needs, that we would need to act fast. He shared with me a listing of a home that he knew fit all my requirements. We put an offer within just a few hours of the home being on the market, and even though we ran into a multi-offer situation, Spirit made sure that, within reason, we made the best choices to ensure I would get the house. From there, the entire process was a breeze. Spirit is extremely knowledgeable (for the most part I feel he could probably do the various home inspections himself better than the experts) and I couldn't have asked for a better experience."

  -Vero B., Client

"There's an obvious reason why Spirit has almost 500 reviews now with a 5.0 rating on Zillow - he lives and breathes the Tucson, AZ housing market. I can't run out of good things to say about Spirit. He is patient and understanding, but bold enough to say what has to be said when it has to be said. You know you can count on him for all of your real estate needs - he will treat you with respect and will always be honest, especially when it's hard. We live in a dog-eat-dog world where it's hard to find people dedicated to serving the community like Spirit, count yourself fortunate to be able to work with him!"

  -thejackson96, Client

"Spirit is a true real estate professional. He made the whole buying process pain free and easy. His knowledge of the central Tucson area is above and beyond the rest. Thank you!!!"

  -44mcallister, Client

"Amazing Realtor was always prompt to respond with informed answers. Great marketing and planning my home went under contract in 10hours. Spirit felt more like a friend than my realtor I can't recommend him enough for your buying or selling needs!"

  -derekash71, Client

"Spirit was excellent in our home buying process. He works tirelessly to help and is always communicative and available. I would strongly endorse using him for anyone looking to go through the home buying experience. We would use him in the future."

  -Edward B., 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 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

"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 a GEM. We are so grateful to have had his help, guidance and support during our home buying process. We bought a house, sight unseen and 1,500 miles away during a global pandemic, and felt confident doing so thanks to him. Spirit knows Tucson and will give it to you straight. He will help you find the absolute best option out there within your perimeters. His wonderful relationships with other realtors, lenders and contractors is impressive. Due to who he is and how he conducts business with such integrity, we were able to get our perfect place. Even in a hot real estate market. I only wish there were many more stars that I could leave for Spirit. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a superhero cape. You'll see what I mean."

  -April L., 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

"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 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

"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

"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

"This was the second time I worked with Spirit, but now I was selling the home he originally helped me buy. I was changing jobs and moving out of the state, and my new company's relocation package would only cover all of my selling costs if I used one of their realtors. I chose my own anyway and went with Spirit, because he is worth it. He knows the business like no one else. I was living in a different state, my father was in the hospital, and I was going through one of the most stressful periods in my life. But I was not stressed about selling my house, because I could trust Spirit to take care of things. He did the same thing he did when I bought the house. He was responsive, courteous, and most importantly, extremely competent. I wouldn't settle for anyone else if I were buying or selling in Tucson."

  -zuser20180612095336048, 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

"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

"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

"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 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

"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

"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 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'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

"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!"

  -user5684231, 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."
