About Cass Stephens, CCIM

 Proudly aligned with S.J. Fowler Real  Estate Investments, one of the strongest Commercial Brokerages in the  Phoenix MSA. Multifamily / Investment Sales Specialist. 32+ 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, Tempe, PV, Glendale, and more. Day-in and day-out. ​ 

I am available to chat on the phone (602-672-3526)/text anytime; or contact me through email (cstephens@ccim.net). Available for a Video Call or to meet for coffee. If I don't answer my  phone, I will call you back.  If you are looking for investment advice  or to talk strategy, I am interested. 

Started in real estate while I was 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. 

 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!  

My  philosophy is simple: Be a straight shooter and back up my claims with  stats/facts. The next few years promise to be complicated to navigate,  and it is more important than ever to have someone in your corner that  knows the ins and outs of the market. Thank you for reading my profile  and I look forward to meeting you!
