75 Years Serving Arizona

The Lyon family was at the forefront of transforming the Valley into what it is today through development and real estate, dating back to World War II when Russ Lyon moved here, got his real estate license, and started Russ Lyon Realty in 1947.

Russ’ son Dennis took over the real estate practice in 1968 as the company’s president, continuing to dominate the luxury market, primarily in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, and growing the company to about 350 agents. 

Dennis’ son Jim bought the company from his father in 2008 and merged it with Sotheby’s International Realty in 2014. 

As of 2022, Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty now has 13 offices, 900+ agents, and services locations like Tubac, Flagstaff & everywhere in between. 

Read more about how Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty has been serving Arizona since 1947 below. 


2022 is a banner year for Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty. 75 years ago, in 1947, Russ Lyon founded the Russ Lyon Realty Company. 

During these 75 years, Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty has grown into a 7 billion dollar, full-service luxury real estate brokerage with more than 900 full-time real estate advisors and 13 offices across Arizona from Tubac and Tucson to Scottsdale, Carefree, Gilbert, Peoria, and Fountain Hills to Prescott, Sedona, and Flagstaff. 

If you’ve been around Phoenix long enough, you remember when a huge, well-landscaped billboard at 24th and Camelback had a lion on it advertising Russ Lyon Realty, which was the premier home sales agency in the Valley. The Lyon family is really royalty in the Arizona real estate world.

Grady Gammage Jr., a long-time Valley land-use attorney and partner at Gammage & Burnham in Phoenix.

The brokerage continues strategic growth by investing in its people through innovation, exceptional service, and leadership, providing maximum returns to all its agents and clients. 

I am very proud of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty for reaching our diamond milestone, as we continue to represent buyers and sellers locally and internationally always giving our clients the white-glove services they deserve and have come to expect. Our real estate advisors across Arizona are our core business, they work tirelessly to provide the best service possible while upholding the standards and ethics that make Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty Arizona’s real estate leader.

Jim Lyon, chairman

The story of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty began in 1947 when Russ Lyon Sr. founded Russ Lyon Realty with just three employees. 

Lyon had been an accomplished saxophone player in New York City and, in the 1930s, formed Russ Lyon and his orchestra during the significant band era. He decided to relocate his family, wife Janis, and sons Rusty and Dennis to Hollywood, CA, to further his music career in the mid-1940s. While crossing Arizona, Rusty came down with Valley Fever. So, they wintered in the small farm town of Mesa so Rusty could recover.

One winter was enough to convince Russ that he’d found Heaven in The Valley of the Sun, Arizona. He changed the family’s plans, deciding to remain in Arizona permanently. 

There being no music industry to speak of in The Valley, Russ decided in 1947 to start a real estate company and named it Russ Lyon Realty.

The family moved to an adobe home on Cattletrack Drive in Scottsdale, where actual cattle drives were a common occurrence. This home still stands and is known as the Stable Galleria. 

Russ built the company into a luxury powerhouse in Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, and Phoenix by always treating clients fairly, with dignity, respect, and professionalism. To this day, a business ethic is a cornerstone of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty.

Russ’s son, Dennis, entered the family real estate business as a young man and eventually took the reins in the 1970s. Dennis built upon the solid foundation his father had created, and Russ Lyon Realty Company grew and prospered for several decades. Russ’s other son, Rusty, went into commercial real estate and founded Westcor, a company that revolutionized the American shopping mall concept and built some of the most successful malls in the United States, including Scottsdale Fashion Square.

In the 1990s, Dennis’ son, Jim Lyon, joined the company and quickly climbed the ranks from agent to management. In 2004, Jim partnered with long-time friend and successful Russ Lyon Realty agent Todd Gillenwater and opened franchise offices in Sedona, Prescott, and Flagstaff. In 2008, Jim and Todd purchased Russ Lyon Realty from Dennis, which they merged with another local brokerage to create Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty, Arizona’s dominant luxury real estate firm. 

In 2012, Jim and Todd invited top-producing agent and friend Tom Locati to join the company as partners. 

In 2014, the Russ Lyon Foundation was formed and was recently recognized in the Top 3 mid-sized companies for corporate philanthropy and volunteerism. Together, Jim Lyon, Todd Gillenwater, and Tom Locati have continued the traditions and ethics that Russ Lyon Sr. started 75 years ago, and Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty continues to lead the industry by example. 

In 2021, the company closed over 7,000 successful transactions, totaling more than 7 billion dollars in Arizona real estate.

Tuscan Masterpiece With 57-Acres in Sedona!

The Most Expensive Home to Ever Hit the Market in Sedona – Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty is Proud to Introduce the $19.445 million Tuscan Masterpiece With 57-Acres, Vineyard, and HOA Control.

Offering 1,700 square feet of Oak Creek frontage and surrounded by National Forest Service land, the once-in-a-lifetime property boasts historic guest homes, a rustic barn, and its own private vineyard with over 60 Zinfandel grape vines yielding approximately 500 gallons per year.

Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty has a 75-year history representing buyers and sellers for many of Arizona’s finest and most extortionary properties. That long-standing tradition continues with a truly remarkable, once-in-a-lifetime property, now Sedona’s most expensive residential listing to date. 

Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty is proud to announce that 330 Eagle Mountain Ranch Road in Sedona, Arizona, is available for sale at $19.445 million by Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty Agent Devin Johnston. 

As the price tag would indicate, this luxury Tuscan-style Villa was built sparing no expense, and the home is also Sedona’s best-kept secret. Long-time local residents and few realtors are aware of this private gated subdivision with only five luxury homes. 

Located in world-famous Sedona, the 57+ acre dream property includes 1,700 square feet of Oak Creek frontage and is surrounded by National Forest Service land. Be one with nature in this pristine environment that abounds with local wildlife and all the modern-day comforts. Feel the ancient serenity and see the footprints still visible in the petroglyphs that can be found just a short distance from the property’s edge.

“Eagle Mountain Estate is a unique Sedona property that combines over-the-top luxury living with acreage and gated security. The property offers soaring cliffs, ownership of both sides of Oak Creek, fruit orchards, an open meadow, and even a pond. This combination has never been available in any property listed in Sedona,” said Johnston.  

Requesting anonymity, the seller said the time has come to let someone else enjoy this pristine property that has been a part of Sedona’s rich history for many decades.  “We have been so blessed to live here in this amazing house and in this sacred Valley for more than a decade, but we are now ready to give someone else this incredible opportunity so that they too can enjoy the experience and be the guardians of this beautiful property.”

The main house offers 3,700 square feet of luxurious mountain living with the finest finishes and timeless architecture. Built-in 2006 and then extensively remodeled in 2015, the Villa utilizes top-quality Venetian Plaster, American Clay finishes, hand distressed mesquite cabinetry and slab granite. Appliances are Subzero, Wolfe, and Viking. The kitchen has two dishwashers, a warming drawer, two convection ovens, and an island prep sink. The fully outfitted bar includes a double kegerator, subzero refrigerator, and Scotsman ice maker.

In the Master Suite, there is a coffee bar with a full-size dishwasher and subzero bar refrigerator, all tastefully hidden behind the custom mesquite cabinetry. The Master Bath offers separate sinks and vanities with an above-ground soaking tub and majestic chandelier. Just off the Master wing is a 777-gallon in-ground Jacuzzi tub with gas-lit braziers overlooking Oak Creek. This smart home has a SONOS-supported sound system and Crestron lighting and speaker volume control throughout the house.

Twin refrigerated wine racks grace the majestic dining room and can accommodate up to 500 bottles. The estate also boasts a private vineyard with over 60 Zinfandel grape vines yielding approximately 500 gallons per year. A reflecting pool, two historic guest homes, a rustic barn, and two historic, small, red-rock-constructed storage buildings are also on the property. The gated motor court and an oversized four-car garage with mini split climate control keep your vehicles comfortable.

For those that prefer self-sufficiency or just lower energy bills, this home offers an owned 23KW solar power system. As well, two 1,000-gallon buried propane tanks feed a 48KW backup home generator, so you never lose power. Recirculating, instant hot water is also available throughout the entire house.

The grounds include more than 1,600 apples, nectarine, and peach trees, all watered with fully automated irrigation systems. A charming pond with a fountain water feature and dock graces the large meadow and is viewable from Eagle Mountain Ranch Road. If you want to practice your golf swing, then the six-acre field is the perfect place! Alongside Oak Creek is a beach party area with an outbuilding, a large fire pit, and a volleyball area.

Maybe most impressively, the estate also includes a 62.5% controlling interest in the professionally managed HOA, so the owner has majority voting power in their possession. The subdivision is fed by three private wells with a new 34,000-gallon water tank with a dedicated backup generator. The pond is provided by a creek pump that irrigates the meadow and orchards.

Most 57 acres are zoned agricultural, saving over $40,000 in property taxes annually. Paperwork regarding water rights to Oak Creek will be included in the sale. If you have been searching for the perfect Sedona property that offers privacy, security, and Oak Creek frontage, then the Eagle Mountain Estate is it!

Between a vineyard, HOA control, majestic vistas, and agricultural zoning, this property is a different type of special. Incredible experiences and future memories await the next owner of this hallmark property, courtesy of Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty.
