I’m Tyler Ford, and I’d like to tell you how my experience in real estate will work for you.
I grew up in Tucson, graduated from Northern Arizona University (NAU) with a finance degree, and return to Tucson.
I know Tucson as well as anyone!
I entered the real estate field as a real estate agent in 1990 and have been a licensed Realtor® for going on 32 years.
I originally got my real estate license to help me with real estate investing. That eventually led me to the mortgage profession, where I was recognized nationally as a top producing mortgage originator and was proud to lead the #1 mortgage team in the US. I was the #1 producing loan officer in the nation at Home Services a Warren Buffet company doing business at Long Mortgage in Tucson, AZ.
Closing more than 2,000 loans, while in the mortgage business, required working closely with listing and selling agents and escrow companies to ensure smooth real estate transactions. That experience, which gave me firsthand knowledge of how to facilitate a smooth closing, still benefits my real estate clients today.
In 2007 – 2008, when the economy turned, I stepped away from the mortgage profession and back into real estate as a Realtor® and investor.
Investing in real estate and helping others do the same as a wealth-building strategy is truly rewarding work. As an investor, I have owned more than 150 properties. Along with land development, my investment portfolio includes single-family and multi-unit properties. Some I keep as rentals; others I buy, rehabilitate and sell for a profit.
I’m a lifelong Arizonan who was raised in Tucson and graduated from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. My wife Mimi and I are passionate athletes, enjoying all the outdoor benefits Tucson has to offer.
When I’m not working for my clients, the sports of triathlons, cycling, mountain biking, running, and swimming fills my free time.
