My Resume

Jay Schlum, Former Mayor of Fountain Hills, Arizona | Call/Text (602) 301-7855 | Jay@ArizonaLiving.com | ArizonaLiving.com

As an Arizona real estate expert, I leverage a robust network to find properties often before they’re listed, which is a huge advantage for buyers. I care deeply about my clients and prioritize their financial well-being. As their fiduciary, I prioritize ensuring they get the best deal through strong negotiations. It’s also my joy to connect clients with their dream homes while helping them integrate into the community. I often organize get-togethers and happy hours to share laughs and introduce them to people. Clients have enough to handle when moving in and out; let me handle the rest to make the experience as stress-free as possible.

Proudly serving Greater Scottsdale, Greater Phoenix, Fountain Hills, Goldfield Ranch, The Verdes, and the cool Rim Country of Arizona!
