Cass Stephens CCIM, MBA, J.D. 's Linkedin Analytics

Proudly aligned with S.J. Fowler Real Estate Investments, one of the strongest Commercial Brokerages in the Phoenix MSA. Multifamily / Investment Sales Specialist. 30+ years of investment sales over 1000+ transactions. Worked hard to obtain my J.D. in 1995; my CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) in 2011; and my MBA in 2013. Those skill-sets have allowed for a higher level of analysis, and ultimately better negotiations for my clients. But I am the first to say that hard work is what differentiates me from many of my competitors. I live, eat, and breath multi-family investments across Phoenix, the East Valley, Scottsdale, Glendale, and more. Day-in and day-out. Proven and respected closer with many significant sales around Phoenix over the last several years. Expert negotiator and marketer with many sales that set the highest price ever for the zip code. Since 2015, I have sold a wide range of multi-family and land. Some examples include numerous $1 million+ closings in Central Phoenix from 7-30 units; several $1 million+ sales in Mesa/Tempe/Chandler/AJ; a 100 unit complex in Glendale, a 28 unit in Buckeye, and many, many 2-4 unit buildings! Started in real estate while in law school; getting my feet wet selling, managing, and investing. After graduating with my J.D. in 1995, I started my own real estate brokerage, management, investment, and renovation companies in 1996 in Milwaukee, WI. Eventually, I also started a real estate development company. Over the next 17 years, my entrepreneurial spirit was in overload. I personally acquired and sold close to 500 properties while carving out my niche as a trusted source of everything commercial real estate. At one point, I had well over 100 broker transactions annually and owned over 450 units personally. However, after some struggles during the great recession of 2009-2011, I relocated to sunny Arizona after exhaustive research. The lower barrier of entry, lower cost to operate, and lower tax structure in AZ was too good to pass up. I have not looked back since. The Phoenix area continues year-over-year to have some of the strongest population and high-paying job growth in the US. Those growth patterns directly translate into more real estate demand. The short and long-term future of real estate investment in the Phoenix area looks highly promising.
