I grew up in Prescott, Arizona, where my family owned and managed several rental properties. Real estate was introduced to me at a young age, and the passion stuck. I attended the University of Arizona with a focus on Communication and Spanish, then moved to the Phoenix area and quickly joined Trillium Residential, where I excelled in luxury residential property management and was nominated for the Arizona Multi-housing Association's Leasing Consultant of the Year in 2008. That foundation in property management, investing, and client service set the stage for everything I've built since.
I founded Baccus Realty Group in 2015, and today my team and I serve buyers, sellers, and investors throughout the Scottsdale and greater Phoenix area. I'm proud to rank in the top 1% of producing agents in Arizona and was named one of the Top 40 Realtors Under 40 for three consecutive years. I was also mentored by Josh Flagg of Bravo's Million Dollar Listing, an experience that sharpened my approach to luxury marketing, negotiation, and client service at the highest level.
What truly sets me apart is that I'm not just an agent. I'm an investor. I personally own several rental properties across Arizona and Texas, spanning both residential and commercial real estate. That hands-on experience gives me practical insight into equity strategies, cash flow, and wealth building that I share with every client, whether they're purchasing their first home or adding to a growing portfolio.
I believe in building relationships that last well beyond the closing table. Many of my clients come back for their second and third homes because they trust my expertise, my honesty, and my dedication to helping them make educated decisions on one of the biggest investments of their lives. I host client events and stay connected because I genuinely care about the people I work with.
When I'm not working, you'll find me in Arcadia with my family, bike riding to local favorites like LGO and Vecina, spending summers at our home in Prescott to escape the Phoenix heat, or traveling. I've explored 14 countries and counting, and I love experiencing different cultures.
If you have a client headed to the Scottsdale or greater Phoenix area, I'd be honored to take great care of them. They'll get a top 1% producer, a real estate investor, and a team that delivers results while making the experience feel personal every step of the way.
"We met Katie when we were ready to purchase our first home in 2014. We were nervous and had a million questions, but Katie guided us through every step with patience and expertise, making the process smooth and stress-free. There was no question who we'd call when we outgrew our first home and started looking for our second. We were particularly impressed with how quickly and efficiently we closed on the new property. What truly sets Katie apart is her commitment to maintaining relationships long after the sale."
"From beginning to end, and even after the transaction closed, Katie and her team were absolutely outstanding. They have all the right people in the right places to ensure that no balls got dropped. We were buying from out of state, seeing the home only after our bid was accepted, so trust was highly valued. Katie's reliability, understanding of our needs, and clear thinking led us to the perfect home."
"Working with Katie was an incredible experience from start to finish. She took the time to understand our goals and provided clear, honest guidance every step of the way. What really stood out was how seamlessly she and her team managed everything, making what could've been a stressful process smooth and even enjoyable. Her communication was always prompt, clear, and reassuring."
When you refer a client to me, they're getting a top 1% team backed by real investor experience and a track record of lasting client relationships. I'll provide strategic guidance, skilled negotiation, and the kind of hands-on attention that makes even out-of-state purchases feel seamless.
I'm responsive and available. Clients say I guide them through every step with patience and expertise, and my team is structured so that no detail falls through the cracks. I keep both clients and referring agents fully in the loop so the process feels smooth and well-managed from start to finish.
