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.
