Ken Johnson's deep local market knowledge helps buyers, sellers, land developers, home builders and investors achieve top results in Arizona real estate transactions. The guidance Ken provides his clients is based on real estate acumen built on primary and secondary housing market research and 15+ years of steadily monitoring commercial/residential shopping behavior and real estate investor buying/selling patterns in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. Housing demand in Arizona is largely driven by job growth and greatly bolstered by the strong desire to own a second home or enjoy retirement in a sunny climate with access to some of the best recreational and medical facilities in the nation. Born in the mid-west, Ken's employment as a new home builder led him to Tampa (2 yrs.) and then Atlanta (7 yrs.) before relocating to Scottsdale in 2001 to raise his two children, who are now local Scottsdale business owners. Ken has personally toured and assessed thousands of new homes, resale homes, investment properties, and land parcels and stays current on today s real estate offerings in the local market. Prior to joining Keller Williams Realty Sonoran Living Scottsdale, Ken was Vice President of Strategic Marketing for Pulte Group, the Valley of the Sun's largest new home builder offering a wide variety of best-selling communities with Pulte Homes, Centex and Del Webb.
