The AZ Real Estate Team, which is led by Michael Williamson, joined Caliber, The Wealth Development Company‘s residential brokerage division, Caliber Realty Group.

The AZ Real Estate Team is locally known as one of the Northeast Valley’s Top Producing residential sales team and the No. 1 sales team for 2014 and 2015 in zip code 85260.

Last year, the team closed over $25 million in transactions. The collaboration between both parties will drive expansion of Caliber’s residential brokerage while leveraging Caliber’s full service real estate capabilities including construction, property management and wealth management investment opportunities.

With this integration, both parties are creating the next generation in real estate ownership and investment. In addition to Williamson, AZ Real Estate Team REALTORS Kristine Kittleson, Beth Spivey and Gabriel Williamson are now associated with Caliber Realty Group.

“The unprecedented opportunity to integrate our clients with Caliber, a next generation real estate company, and to elevate on areas where we are already extremely adept at – market knowledge, industry experience and client satisfaction — made the decision an easy one,” said Michael Williamson of the AZ Real Estate Team. “We were happy at Keller Williams for the past 12 years and we remain friends and cherish our relationship there.” He added, “The shift in real estate to a vertically integrated platform — where all services are needed for successful ownership — is undeniable. The Caliber transition will allow my team to use our decades of experience selling all levels of homes and real estate transactions while having all services under one brand. It is the model for the future available in the present.”

With over 30 years of combined experience serving the real estate needs of buyers and sellers, The AZ Real Estate Team has successfully closed more than 2,500 transactions across the Valley since 2004 including Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Gilbert, Buckeye and Chandler.

For the past 10 years, Michael and his team — all full-time, Arizona-licensed realtors — have specialized in the Scottsdale/Paradise Valley area and have been recognized as a top 5 performing team with Keller Williams Arizona Realty.
