John Harding, REALTOR® | HomeSmart

I’m an Arizona native. I grew up in North Central Phoenix on a flood-irrigated lot, the youngest of 11 kids, in the same house my parents still live in today. I also own flood-irrigated land in Camp Verde, so the Verde Valley isn’t just a market I cover. It’s a place I’m invested in.

Today I help buyers and sellers across the Phoenix metro, Prescott, Prescott Valley, Cottonwood, Camp Verde, and Sedona. I know each of these areas on the ground: which communities fit a retiree versus a young family, and what to look for in an older Phoenix ranch home or a new build in Prescott Valley.

Getting my start in real estate in 2021, I was director of operations at a residential brokerage, overseeing dozens of agents and hundreds of transactions. I’ve seen deals succeed and fail from behind the scenes, and that’s why I focus on what protects you: tight contracts, smart contingencies, careful due diligence, and strong negotiation. I’ve been a HomeSmart Diamond Award winner every year since joining.

Buying? I’ll help you find the right home, avoid overpaying, and look for options most buyers miss, like assuming a seller’s low-rate VA or FHA loan. I’ve saved one buyer over $700 a month this way. 

Selling? I tour buyers through hundreds of homes a year and listen to what they say on every tour. You’ll know how buyers will see your home before it hits the market, and you’ll choose the strategy, whether that’s a quick sale or top dollar.

My approach is simple: no pressure, straight answers, and you set the pace. I love this work so much that I plan to be a real estate agent for the rest of my life.

Whether you’re moving across Phoenix, retiring to Prescott, or relocating to the Verde Valley, I’d love to hear about your next move. Call or text me at 480-639-9640.
