Compass, Inc.<\/a>, the nation\u2019s largest residential real estate brokerage, has welcomed Arizona luxury real estate powerhouse Frank Aazami to its roster. Known for his unmatched influence in the Scottsdale and Paradise Valley markets, this move is considered a significant brokerage transition in Arizona\u2019s real estate history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formerly with Russ Lyon Sotheby\u2019s International Realty, Aazami brings nearly 20 years of experience, a consistent track record of record-breaking sales, and a loyal network of high-net-worth clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several of his colleagues from the Private Client Group, including Dinesh Wilson, Fletcher Wilcox, and Zoya Pedenko, are also joining Compass. The group is known for generating more than $100 million in annual sales, according to BrokerMetrics.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cPeople like Frank Aazami and the professionals that he’s chosen to work alongside are industry leaders, not because of their record-breaking sales volume, but because of their ethics, their integrity, and their desire to deliver an exceptional client experience,\u201d Sean Zimmerman, Compass Arizona President, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long recognized for integrating tech-driven tools into his business strategy, Aazami plans to leverage Compass\u2019 proprietary platform to deliver faster timelines and wider reach for his clients – especially in the high-end segment where exposure and efficiency are critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to be able to bring the most value to my clients, and you need a huge brand like Compass to put this all together,\u201d Aazami said. \u201cTechnology and digital media are taking over, and you have to adapt to it. The company with the best technology creates the biggest wins for clients, and I\u2019m so excited about this move.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aazami, a former restaurateur and radio professional, pivoted to real estate during the 2007 housing crisis and quickly rose through Arizona\u2019s real estate ranks. He remains active in the community, supporting causes like The Be Kind People Project, anti-bullying initiatives, and SAAR\u2019s Member Relief Fund. He will also continue serving on the advisory board for Sotheby\u2019s Concierge Auctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWelcoming Frank and his team to Compass isn’t something that just has an impact here \u2013 he\u2019ll have a future impact on Compass agents across the country,\u201d Compass CEO & Founder Robert Reffkin said.
