Scottsdale Luxury Real Estate Advisor & Golf Property Specialist
Kris Schatzberg is a Global Real Estate Advisor with Engel & Völkers Scottsdale, specializing in luxury homes, golf properties, and residential real estate throughout Scottsdale, North Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Rio Verde, and the surrounding Northeast Valley.
With deep roots in Scottsdale and decades of experience advising clients through high-value purchases and negotiations, Kris brings a combination of local knowledge, luxury sales experience, and highly personalized service to Arizona real estate.
His areas of expertise include many of North Scottsdale's most desirable luxury and golf communities, including Desert Mountain, Troon, DC Ranch, McDowell Mountain Ranch, Rio Verde, and surrounding North Scottsdale neighborhoods.
As a designated golf property specialist and avid golfer, Kris offers an additional level of insight for clients considering Scottsdale's golf communities. Finding the right golf property isn't simply about choosing a house. Club membership options, golf access, amenities, location, lifestyle, community culture, resale considerations, and long-term value can all influence which community is ultimately the right fit.
Local Knowledge. Luxury Experience.
Kris represents buyers, sellers, relocation clients, second-home owners, and investors across the Scottsdale real estate market. His approach centers on market knowledge, candid advice, strategic negotiation, responsive communication, and exceptional representation from the first conversation through closing and beyond.
Before entering real estate, Kris spent more than 25 years in high-consideration luxury sales, advising discerning clients through significant purchases and complex negotiations. That experience developed an understanding of luxury consumers that extends well beyond the transaction: discretion, preparation, presentation, responsiveness, and attention to detail matter.
Today, Kris applies that experience to Scottsdale real estate while combining it with firsthand knowledge of the communities and lifestyle he represents.
Proven Experience in Scottsdale Real Estate
Kris's real estate experience includes multimillion-dollar luxury listings and transactions throughout the Scottsdale market. His professional recognition has included the Leading 100 within the Engel & Völkers Gestalt Group and recognition among the Top 5 advisors at Engel & Völkers Scottsdale.
His experience extends from Scottsdale luxury properties and golf-community homes to relocation, second homes, primary residences, and investment opportunities.
For sellers, Kris combines thoughtful pricing strategy, property positioning, professional presentation, targeted marketing, and the global reach of Engel & Völkers to bring properties to market.
For buyers, his role goes beyond identifying available homes. Kris helps clients understand differences between communities, evaluate value, navigate negotiations, and recognize the details that can make one property or neighborhood a better long-term fit than another.
Scottsdale Isn't Just a Market. It's Home.
Kris's connection to Scottsdale is personal.
His roots in the area give him a firsthand understanding of how Scottsdale and the Northeast Valley have evolved and why individual communities can offer dramatically different lifestyles.
From the golf communities of North Scottsdale and the mountain views of Desert Mountain and Troon to the luxury estates of Paradise Valley and the active lifestyle surrounding Rio Verde, Kris helps clients evaluate not only where they want to live, but how they want to live.
Outside of real estate, Kris is an avid golfer and is involved with the ALS Association of Arizona, maintaining a strong connection to the community he serves. The audit identifies those Scottsdale roots, golf/luxury background, and community involvement as important differentiators that aren't currently prominent enough online.
