Upon moving to the Phoenix area, I experienced a life-changing event that shifted me to leave an eight-year hospitality management career into one that I was neither standing all day nor sitting all day. Real estate has been a part of my life since childhood. My father worked for Freddie Mac and my grandfather was a Realtor. I remembered my passion for real estate and discovered it as an outstanding vehicle to help people with one of their most important experiences, their home. I began in property management in 2008. Beginning my real estate career during the market crash was the best learning, beyond what I could have hoped for. I quickly became well versed in short sale transactions, personnel, property and business management, asset management and investor relations. I have been an active licensed Realtor in Maricopa County since 2009 and specialize in re-sale residential, new home sales, and investor needs valley wide. I have received awards in marketing, management and leadership and recipient of the Hyland Bay Top Gun Award, February 2016.

I have dedicated myself to service; developing a more harmoniously advanced community through enhancing greater self-awareness. Through my spiritual, personal and professional journey I have developed a holistic approach to education, guidance, and mentorship serving fellow Realtors, business owners, and clients by assisting them in their own quest for living more open-hearted, purposeful, passionately fulfilling lives.

I have intuition and compassion that have helped me in business to provide exceptional service, to exceed expectations and help others. I have built my business relationships around those seeking wealth & health in finances, mind, and body. I am proud of the dynamic business owners I have partnered with who are committed to their work and growing the community. I am excited to work with you and help you build your real estate career and help you with your journey!

Cortney Jones is a Real Estate Entrepreneur, Realtor®, Certified Coach, philanthropist, volunteer, wife and mom who is passionate about helping people and giving back.

Creatively investing in real estate since 1992, Cortney has bought and sold over 650 houses using creative financing and none of her own money or credit. She owned and operated a real estate brokerage for 15 years, educating agents on the value of investing in real estate. Investing in real estate is now more lucrative than ever. Investors are purchasing real estate properties, and taking advantage of the best opportunities in multiple states. As high-net-worth individuals consider building generational wealth, investing in real estate is an effective way to achieve portfolio diversity and grow wealth.

Real estate is a pretty unique asset class with a range of underlying characteristics and strategies that can serve multiple purposes for an investor. The asset class of real estate investing inherently has lower volatility and low correlation to stocks and bonds, which can improve the risk/return profile of a portfolio. Real estate investments can help high-net-worth investors, offset a low-yield, inflationary environment, shelter capital gains and offer a tax-efficient investment option.

Cortney has run her real estate investing business as a lifestyle business, changing the focus & business model to meet the time and lifestyle needs of her family. She enjoys helping other women investors on the side as a mentor and coach. As a partner at WREN (women’s real estate network) Cortney and her partners educate, encourage and connect women throughout the U.S. to help them live a life that provides freedom, cash flow and wealth.

Cortney spends her working hours these days coaching and training others while investing passively in notes, tax liens, hotels and the occasional rehabs.

In her free time you’ll catch Cortney volunteering as a mentor and court advocate for foster children, serving on the Foster Care Review Board, travelling with her family or just enjoying the hummingbirds poolside at her Gilbert, AZ home.

“I loved working with Melissa. The market is super tough right now
but she worked so hard for us! We moved from Chicago so we were
unable to personally tour any of the houses. She went to the listings
and did a video walk through each one. She is great at negotiating.
She is also just really kind, empathetic and personable!” Hillary W.

“As a new agent and having lacked much needed training, Melissa
was always quick and eager to assist me with processes,
documentation, verbiage and protocols. She has positioned herself
as an educator and mentor to her peers and colleagues as well as a
member of the community. “ Marissa L.
