WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...
We had the most wonderfully flawless and easy experience with Meredith and Brandon. They were able to sell our home off market for $15k more than we were planning to originally list for. They also secured us a leaseback, so we did not have to rush out of our home, as we are moving out of state. We had contemplated listing our home ourselves thinking the real estate world couldn’t be THAT hard to navigate, and oh my, were we wrong! We are so grateful we had The DuFour Team to represent us! They were so thorough and timely with their communication throughout the entire process. I never felt out of the loop and I 1000% know that they are truly in this business to meet the needs of their clients. They worked their butts off for us. I will recommend them to absolutely anyone in state or out of state who is looking to do real estate business in Arizona.
Meredith & Brandon offer an AMAZING service!!! They are not your typical real estate agents. We have tried many over the years. They will be your partner and do the heavy lifting for you (not just the paperwork, like most agents). They work tirelessly to exceed your expectations (days/nights/ weekends/holidays)... we were so impressed. We have used them 3x and will continue. I highly recommend their services for your personal home, investment properties, last minute 1031exch, vacation properties, etc. They can do it all!
Our family had the privilege of working with Brandon and Meredith from The DuFour Team on our first home purchase, and their service exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, they displayed unmatched professionalism, market knowledge, and dedication. They listened closely to our needs, tailored each property to fit, and kept us informed every step of the way. Their attention to detail, quick communication, and insightful guidance made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What truly set them apart was their willingness to go the extra mileanalyzing market trends, accommodating our schedule, and addressing every concern with care. Even after closing, they continue to check in and make us feel like part of their extended family. Thanks to their expertise, we found the perfect home that exceeded our expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend Brandon and Meredith - outstanding agents who deliver five-star service all the way! 5 & 8
BROKER BLOG FROM DEAN BECKER
WHY TODAY’S AGENTS DESERVE MORE FROM THEIR BROKERAGE
The real estate industry is changing fast. Between regulatory shifts, heightened consumer expectations, and rapid advances in technology, today’s agents face challenges unlike anything we’ve seen in decades. As a broker at West USA Realty, I believe the question isn’t whether the industry will change - it’s whether your brokerage is prepared to help you thrive in that change.
THE BROKER ADVANTAGE
One of the most overlooked advantages an agent can have is direct access to a knowledgeable broker. At West USA Realty, a broker is always available. That’s not a catchphrase - it’s a commitment. Our managing brokers take calls daily, walk agents through sticky negotiations, and help resolve compliance questions before they become costly problems. In many brokerages, agents are left to fend for themselves, waiting hours - or even days - for a return call. In this market, that delay can mean losing a deal. At West USA, we know speed and clarity matter, which is why our brokers are present, engaged, and invested in your success.
BUILT TO SUPPORT AGENTS
Real estate is a business of independence, but independence doesn’t mean isolation. West USA Realty has spent nearly 40 years building a platform that empowers agents with the tools, training, and support they need to succeed on their own terms.
• Specialized Divisions: From Luxury and Commercial to Property Management and International Sales, our divisions provide the expertise and branding to help agents stand out in any niche.
• Coaching & Training: Our ProStart and Continuing Education programs go beyond the basics, equipping agents to navigate contracts, technology, and client service with confidence.
• Technology & Marketing: Partnerships with Zillow Showcase, CoStar, and other platforms ensure our agents are visible where it matters most - online and in front of clients.
We don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach. Our flexible fee structures allow agents to choose the plan that best fits their business model, whether they’re a seasoned top producer or building momentum as a new agent.
CULTURE THAT MATTERS
What truly sets West USA apart is our culture. We are locally grown and family-led, but nationally ranked year after year as one of the top-producing brokerages in the country. That combination of stability and innovation gives agents the confidence to build a long-term career with us.
Beyond business, we’ve built a culture of care. Through West USA Cares, we’ve raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Arizona families and nonprofits. Agents aren’t just joining a brokerage - they’re joining a company that invests in its community.
READY FOR THE FUTURE
The future of real estate belongs to brokerages that offer transparency, strong leadership, and unwavering agent support. At West USA Realty, we’re ready. With a broker always available, divisions designed for growth, and a culture rooted in both performance and people, we offer a platform where agents can build not just a business, but a career.
If you’re ready to align with a brokerage that understands where the industry is headed - and has the support to help you get there - West USA Realty is ready for you.
