About Vicki Kaplan

Whether someone is searching for their dream home or wanting to sell their distinctive property, my focus is on helping each person I work with achieve their goals and enhance their life. I believe in building strong, long-term and enduring relationships with my clients and take pride in being a part of their real estate success. With an unwavering commitment to providing exceptional service, I believe it is critical to listen carefully, ask questions, pay attention to the details and be available to my clients every step of the way.

In catering to the exclusive needs of my clients, confidentiality is always a priority along with offering the most comprehensive luxury home marketing programs and personalized buyer and seller services.  Every client is unique and with very specific needs, making it crucial to understand those needs intimately so services can be tailored to achieve their goals.  There are times when opportunities to meet a client’s needs are done by thinking outside the box. Relationships with other agents, builders, architects and designers can help with both finding and offering off-market properties.  I am committed to my clients and work diligently to keep them informed with the latest and most pertinent market trends, empowering them to make sound, confident decisions.

Regarded for my hands-on approach, I personally manage all aspects of my clients' transactions in lieu of delegating to an assistant or associate.  My ultimate aim is to create a seamless and positive real estate buying or selling experience with the utmost professionalism.  Success is gauged solely by the complete satisfaction of my clients. Their interests are always taken to heart.

On a more personal note, while I was born and raised in Oregon and attended college in Portland and Seattle, Washington, my husband and I have had homes in Scottsdale for more than 20 years.  I have a vast knowledge of the neighborhoods, schools, entertainment and all that the Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Cave Creek, Carefree and north Phoenix areas have to offer.

Further, my own life experiences have granted me a unique perspective. My husband's distinguished career in the hospitality industry led us to relocating across various regions of the country and the Caribbean for many years.  That journey gave me an exceptional appreciation and insight into the myriad questions, concerns and challenges that can accompany such relocations or life-changing decisions associated with a move and property sale.  Additionally, my professional background in retail management and new store design and development helped me understand the importance of organization, meticulous attention to detail, and effective communication to ensure seamless transactions. This background has helped me to understand how best to help, advise and guide my clients as they pursue such a significant change and financial investment in their lives.

Thank you for visiting my website.  I look forward to connecting with you and exploring how I can help you with your real estate needs.
