He takes particular pleasure in helping buyers find a primary, second or retirement home in this amazing area. He is equally skilled at negotiating the best price for his clients and navigating the complexities that can arise with inspections, escrows, and financing.

David said, “I am excited to join Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International. We have an outstanding brand, a dominant market share in the local area, and the best agents anywhere.”

Prior to real estate, David lived in the Washington DC, area and represented large non-profit organizations in national fundraising and marketing campaigns.

He is a Contributing Writer to Cave Creek Stroll, a local magazine featuring personality profiles of local residents. He has also served as an Arizona Association of Realtors Board member and a leadership volunteer with the local Scottsdale Board.

David has extensive real estate experience since he started his career in 2004. Not only has he been a proven producer, David has developed relationships with clients and real estate professionals throughout North Scottsdale, Carefree and Cave Creek.

Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty is dedicated to bringing the highest level of service to today’s home buyers and sellers. This tradition continues with the recent addition of luxury Real Estate Advisor Terry Pickering to the Camelback Tower Office.

Terry Pickering’s passion for real estate started very early in his adult life. He purchased his first fixer-upper in his 20s and lived in that home until he completed his nursing degree in 1995. Terry sold the home and made enough to pay off his school expenses. He then spent 26 years in healthcare. His first 8+ years as a registered nurse and then as an IT healthcare executive supporting several academic and pediatric healthcare organizations. During that time, Terry also bought and sold several homes, which at the time, was somewhat of a hobby. He will always be grateful for so many amazing experiences throughout his career in healthcare and still have an Arizona RN license. Terry Pickering just cannot let that go! 

Having owned and invested in Scottsdale since 2010, Terry understands the local market and has a wealth of knowledge about what Scottsdale has to offer. He brings with his honesty, integrity, and a great appreciation for the diverse country we live in. Terry treats his clients with the same care and concern as he gave his patients as a nurse.

Terry Pickering has developed good skills for being a great listener and looks forward to learning about your real estate goals. 

Terry is such a welcome addition to our brand and especially to the Camelback Tower location! He’s friendly, intelligent and extremely motivated. We are so excited to watch all that the future holds with his professional standards partnering with ours!
