Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty is dedicated to bringing the highest service to today’s home buyers and sellers. This tradition continues with the recent addition of luxury Real Estate Advisor Tony Scaffide to our Carefree Office. Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty agents strive to deliver real estate experiences beyond expectations to enhance lifestyles for their clients, expanding their reputation as the most respected name in real estate. 

In 2021, Tony made a life-changing decision to purchase a home in the picturesque Cave Creek area of Arizona. Since then, he’s fallen in love with the desert landscape and vibrant lifestyle that the state has to offer.

With 18 years of experience in the real estate market, Tony brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. Having worked with Jackson Hole Sotheby’s in Wyoming, he’s no stranger to the intricacies of the industry. Now, he’s excited to bring his expertise to the Arizona market.

Tony’s background includes a diverse range of properties, from luxury estates to equestrian properties and commercial spaces. His extensive experience has given him a deep understanding of what it takes to successfully unite buyers and sellers.

But Tony’s passion extends beyond the boardroom. As a devoted father, he spends his winters in Arizona with his youngest daughter, immersing himself in the local rodeo scene. You might catch him cheering on participants at barrel races, roping events, and reigning competitions.

When he’s not soaking up the Arizona sun, Tony enjoys exploring the desert terrain through hiking and off-roading adventures. And in the summer months, he heads back to Wyoming to support his oldest daughter as she pursues her law degree on the east coast.

What sets Tony apart is his unwavering attention to detail, strong negotiation skills, and genuine desire to help his clients achieve their real estate dreams. His dedication to excellence makes him a valuable asset to the Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty team.

Whether you’re in the market for your dream home or looking to sell your property, Tony is ready to guide you every step of the way. With his expertise and passion for real estate, you can trust that you’re in good hands.

Tony’s horse and ranch experience in Jackson, WY – along with his attention to detail – will serve his clients well in Arizona. Welcome, Tony!
