Matt Steinmann

My experience in working with Ken for the purchase of our home was 5 star plus!

Not only is Ken professional & knowledgeable but exceptionally thorough as well. Ken assisted us in the search for a home, and led us in the right direction of all the transactions from the initial offer to the final closing. Not only would I highly recommend Ken as one of the knowledgeable real estate professionals I have ever met, but would also use his services when my future needs involve a real estate transaction.

Valerie Laconto

I could not be happier with the representation provided by Ken Elder in both the purchase of our new home, and the sale of our previous one.

He appropriately counseled our concerns, with experience and patience. He helped us evaluate the pros and cons of options, without pressure to decide one way or the other. Ken exceeded expectations with how closely he tracked the transactions; and even assisted when the buyer’s agent was less involved. If he had not, I doubt we would have closed on time. He prevented us from dealing with unnecessary stresses, and kept us on top of our obligations. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a highly skilled and thorough agent!

Matthew C

I have known and worked with Ken for the past decade as a title and escrow partner.

I know him as one of the most knowledgeable realtors in our market, and also one of the most curious. Many times we will get into conversations about what-ifs that have paid dividends for his clients down the road. He is a staunch advocate for anyone he represents, and he has the experience to back that up. I have nothing but the highest respect for Ken.

Jon Christ

When we were looking to buy our home in Phoenix, Ken was recommended to us and he was a joy to work with.

He is extremely professional in every aspect—knowledgeable, prompt, a great communicator and well respected in the industry. When we sold our home, we reached back out to Ken and he was the same great agent for us. He knows the market and got us a great price. He is always very engaged and kept us up-to- date on every detail. We would highly recommend Ken for buyers and sellers.

With Ken’s help, this transaction was the fastest and smoothest one we have experienced.

Nina Ignacio and Gilbert Escudero

I had a great experience with Ken!

He was very professional, very accommodating, very knowledgeable. It was always very easy to get in touch with Ken. When we visited from out of town, he worked with our schedule seamlessly. When a few bumps arose from the seller's side, he was very gracious about it and worked through the problem so that we could close the deal. Before we had moved across the country, he even helped us get things repaired in the new place by coordinating a handyman and letting the handyman in while we were out of state. Grateful!

Thomas Talhelm

I am so happy to share our experience with Ken as our agent.

He is honest and straightforward in answering & guiding us through our sale. Ken was recovering from a serious surgery & still had time to answer questions our other agent couldn’t. Needless to say we hired Ken! Ken kept in touch with us with weekly updates which was soo helpful. Superb professionalism throughout our experience. We will never hesitate to recommend Ken to our family and friends. THANK YOU KEN ❤️

Billy Colon

Ken is top of the line!

Relocating we knew little about the valley so our home search we went from Laveen to Queen Creek. Ken made it very easy. He was on time, organized, very responsive and helped us buy the perfect home in this insane sellers market. We will be calling Ken when it’s time for our next home.

Cory and Mary Sherratt

Ken was the absolute best!

This experience was my first time searching for and buying a home, and he made it an absolute pleasure. I came into the process with a lot to learn about each aspect of home buying and Ken diligently helped me learn both about the realty and lending aspect. He provided unparalleled service in answering my questions, helping me find the perfect home, and making the escrow and closing process run perfectly. If you are in the market for a home in the Phoenix valley, there is no one else I would turn to. Thanks Ken!

Thomas Green

Ken was phenomenal with us during our journey through buying a home in Phoenix.

We currently live in Miami, so Ken was our rock in Phoenix to help with anything and everything needed on the ground there before we made the move to the Phoenix area. He was incredibly reliable and so attentive to our needs. I highly recommend Ken if you are looking for a trustworthy, caring and loyal realtor.

Drew Sandbulte

Ken is an experienced, professional.

He is knowledgeable about the business and is up to date on what’s going on. He does what he says he’s going to do, follows up and follows through. We worked with him to sell a house in Scottsdale and we live out of town. He made the process easy. He recommended excellent businesses to get it ready to sell. Once it was ready, he had it listed within a day. We had 5 offers and the house was under contract within 3 days. He walked us through the whole process and made it easy. I 100% recommend him.

Lori and Steve Malangone

This is my third time using Ken to be my agent buying a home and first time selling a home.

Ken, as always, is professional, caring, and attentive to every detail throughout the process. He allows me to enjoy the journey without stress knowing he will make sure the process is always handled correctly and on time.

James Capps

Ken was fantastic in helping us find our new home.

He listened to our needs and found several that met those needs. Ken came and picked up my wife while I was in the hospital and took her to several homes. He would then FaceTime me when they walked through the homes. He was always attentive to our needs and did an excellent job in finding the home that met our needs.

Howard and Jamie Davis

We thought selling our house in Tucson from out of state was going to be really difficult.

We ended up needing to do some repairs and Ken was at the ready with a number of service providers and got us fair estimates. Ken priced our house accurately and we got a great offer on day 3 on the market. Not only is Ken knowledgeable and professional, he’s friendly and a pleasure to work with!

Rachel and David Acuna

Ken is an absolute dream work with!

We were first time homebuyers, and I was really nervous about the process. Ken was there to help us every step of the way. He is incredibly kind, caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and all around the best. We could never have got through it without Ken. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a house. He is truly amazing.

Clint and Erin Eason

I cannot recommend Ken highly enough for your real estate needs.

We started working with Ken remotely from Georgia and once we arrived in Arizona, Ken was very quick to support us in every way. He is a wealth of knowledge on all things real estate and we felt well-informed and supported throughout the home buying process, including connecting us to local lenders. Bottom line, Ken is my go to for all things real estate, now and in future, and I would work with him again in a heartbeat!

Dan Cox

Everything about Ken's ability to sell my house was above and beyond his professional talent.

The experience was top notch not to mention selling in two days along with the amazing photo shoot! A 6 star experience for sure!

Ken came to us highly recommended!

Ken is exceptional and knowledgeable with regards to the Phoenix Metro Area. Ken has no problem protecting his clients and advising them on potentials to their future investment. Ken is excellent in communication and was always prepared when he showed us houses. We were so pleased with Ken that we will be recommending him to all of our friends and family. We will definitely be using Ken again on our next purchase!

Ken is the best of the best!

From the day we contacted him he was just as eager to find us our forever home as we were! It was great to have home walk through homes with us and point out things that we may have over looked. Ken walked us through the process of securing our home and answered every question we had. Ken was very responsive in phone calls, email and text! We love our new home and Ken was able to find us what we wanted on our wish list! Thank you Ken!

John and Rosalva Zimmerman

Being a lifelong investor in real estate, Ken was a breath of fresh air.

He knew his business and guided me through the Phoenix market with ease. He was very good at providing valuable insight for improvements to the property that earn the most return. His understanding of negotiation also proved very helpful and insightful.

Melanie Jones

A very much overdue testimonial as we purchased our home in July 2021, and Ken was just amazing from beginning to end.

Being first time homebuyers on the opposite end of the country definitely had its challenges, and Ken was patient and knowledgeable all the way through. Ken is the kind of real estate professional that you would want your entire life. He has years of experience and is able to identify things in a home that you might miss yourself. He's extremely responsive and flexible to keep up with such an intense real estate market. My husband and I felt support and heard throughout the entire process. We are so grateful and really ended up in a great first home for our family, and I really think that if we had been with anyone else, we would not have been as successful as we had been. We would absolutely want his help with moving again in the future, and would recommend all of our friends and family to him. You're amazing Ken, thank you!

Doug and Natasha Hopkins

Working with Ken on the purchase of our new home followed by the sale of our townhouse has so thoroughly changed our notion of who a realtor can be and what the industry can aspire to.

At every turn he kept us fully informed and updated; listened to our questions and concerns; offered us options on both the buy and sell and treated us with respect that he was working for US, not the other way around. Fully a man of his word and a realtor who I would recommend to anyone at anytime. Thank you Ken! You’ve established the highest level of professionalism to which all others might ascribe.

David Weaver and Kimb Williamson

I worked with Ken to buy and sell my home and Ken is a very reliable realtor who goes above and beyond for his clients.

Ken is very responsive and communicates very well through the house buying/selling process. I recommend Ken to anyone who is looking to buy or sell.

McKenzie Porhola

Ken Elder is by far one of the most professional, honest, and extremely knowledgeable realtors in Phoenix (and Tucson).

He always took the time to listen, was very responsive and clear with expectations; not to mention always on time. It is very clear from the beginning that he knows his job. One also knows right away that he stands by his clients side at all times when communicating with other parties. Our experience with him was superb and will absolutely look forward to having him as our realtor if/when the time comes. We 100% recommend him!

John Roelle and Bryan Scannell

Ken was my buying agent 7 years ago making my purchase at that time a priority, so it was wonderful when he became my selling agent as I knew he would again provide his genuine concern and professional advice.

Ken possess a high-level of experience which shows in his expert guidance of the entire selling and buying experience. His attention to detail helped me prioritize what needed done (and not) in order to put my home on the market at a great price. I listed my home based on his recommendation, and in less than 48 hours I received a full-price offer! This speaks highly of his market knowledge and experience! His reassurance, resourceful guidance, personable characteristics, and motivation for his clients' interests are above reproach, and I am delighted to recommend Ken for any future client(s).

Lynne Cheek

This is my 2d home purchase with Ken.

His capabilities and commitment for customer satisfaction are above reproach. He continually brings his valuable expertise into every aspect of real estate and keeps his client updated in a timely manner. I enjoy working with Ken and will continue to refer to him as my trusted agent.

Lynne Cheek

Ken has helped us now with a growing handful of properties and has always exceeded our expectations.

The proof of that is not only in our eagerness to seek him out for each new transaction, but more often to get his advice on everything "real estate" related. He is a true professional turned friend.

Chris Milano

Ken did an amazing job selling our house.

He provided a professional video and staging that really brought out the strengths of the property. He always stepped in and took the extra effort to help me out. I highly recommend Ken as a Realtor the not only does a great job but someone you can trust.

Terrie Rill

Ken was the best.

He worked hard to explain every step of the process and made me (a first-time home buyer) feel incredibly secure and informed. He hustled and worked hard to navigate a crazy market and buying environment. Besides being incredibly knowledgeable he was a joy and fun to work with. Ken will always be the realtor I go to and reccomend.

Jeffrey Teuton

Ken made it seem like I was his only client.

Quick to respond and communicated with me every step of the way. Highly recommend. Thanks Ken for all your help.

Mark Y

Ken is the BEST realtor ever, he listens to you & what you want & need.

He is working for you not his own needs. Ken is very knowledgeable and if he does not know the answer to anything he will find the answer for you. Ken goes the extra mile and he is honest, he will get you the best deal and not talk you into anything over budget or anything you don't want. I cannot say enough good things about Ken. He is still there after you buy your house to help you. Call Ken, he will not disappoint, he is Amazing.

Wendy Koenig

Working with Ken was a pleasuer.

He is knowledgeable and professional. I really appreciated his no nonsense approach. In fact, i have referred a good friend, in the personal finance business, to Ken for recommendations to his business clients looking to sell or buy their property.

Ray Baccala

Selling my house was a difficult project, and Ken did a great job!

Ken promised "full service" and delivered on that promise. I had a unique house in a unique location in Phoenix with several plusses and minuses that needed consideration to determine price and marketing strategy, especially in a difficult high-interest rate market. Ken understood all these factors and got the job done. Waiting months to find the right buyer was stressful. During that time, Ken patiently offered solid advice on the timing of price adjustments. I recommend Ken, especially for unique real estate marketing situations.

Randy Hillenbrand

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ken to purchase my new condo, and I couldn't be happier with the experience.

From start to finish, Ken demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.

Herman Martinez

Ken was nothing short of incredible.

We opened up our conversations very early in our buying process, and Ken made it as painless as could be from day one to unlocking doors. Our process that we expected to last 6 months or longer was far shorter, and a large part is thanks to the confidence we had from working with Ken. We could always count on Ken for prompt and knowledgeable responses, and he truly helped make my wife and my first home-buying experience an amazing one. It’s nice to have someone in your corner that can help push moving pieces into place. Ken, we can’t thank you enough for all you did for our family!

Brad and Kali Caviness

Working with Ken was an absolute delight.

We found Ken by searching the internet since we are out of state and don’t know many people in the area. We spent a few days with Ken viewing properties in the Phoenix area and ultimately found a house that was perfect for us and our boys (two dogs). From putting an offer in and closing (17 days later), Ken made the process smooth and easy and was always available to answer any questions that came up. We would highly recommend Ken to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home.

Nick Hecht & Mike Young

Ken, It was a pleasure working with you.

Thank you does not seem nearly enough to express our gratitude for your guidance and expertise in selling our moms home. You continually went above and beyond with the staging, marketing, and photography. You anticipated our every need and question even before we asked. Your knowledge of market trends, real estate, and your professionalism during this process did not go unnoticed. This is why your are consistently ranked in the top 1% of realtors. Thank you again for all of your help. John and Michelle

Michelle Kostolnik

Ken has now been my realtor through two home purchases.

Both times he has been easy to work with, friendly, knowledgeable, and well informed on new homes that come available. Home buying can be stressful be he has always made it his mission to make sure I am comfortable and kept in the loop throughout the whole process. I wouldn’t think of going to another real estate agent. Ken ALWAYS goes above and beyond!

James Capps

I wish I had the words to properly convey the workmanship and professionalism that Ken exhibited throughout our time shared in selling my home in Phoenix.

During a an uncertain and somewhat anxious time in my life, Ken remained calm, confident and reassuring as he guided me with great care and knowledge, holding my hand every step of the way. Ken's expertise helped me keep my bearings, what a BLESSING! You really were my North Star, Ken. And I could not be happier with the decisions we made and the outcome in the end. So lucky to have found you, for real!!! Thank you for your friendship, too, my friend ☮️

N Nelson

Ken was referred to us by some friends and I’m glad he was.

He is an amazing realtor and works so hard to find a house that fits your qualifications. Ken not only shows houses but he does the research on them and is just so knowledgeable in the real estate field. So many people can “sell” houses but Ken does more then just sell and really looks out for his clients. I would 100% refer Ken to anyone looking to buy or sell. We loved working with Ken and appreciate him so much for walking us through the process as First Time Homebuyers.

McKenzie Porhola and Michael Buchanan

Ken is tremendous to work with.

I interviewed three realtors before choosing to work with Ken. He always comes prepared, he knows his numbers, the market, and provides excellent advise when navigating decisions throughout the home buying and selling process. I continue to use and recommend Ken because he has never attempted to persuade me, but offers facts, figures, and wisdom based on his extensive experience in real estate.
