“My partner and I recently had the pleasure of working with Kirk DeSpain,
who guided us through the journeys of selling our condo and then purchasing our first property together.
Kirk possesses a friendly and easy demeanor, never once making us feel pressured to make a choice.
He was quick to respond to our messages and questions, and never seemed to lose enthusiasm even after a dozen or so walkthroughs,
which made us feel like he was truly excited to work with us and find us a house that we could turn into a home.
Even after we had closed on a home, Kirk had come when we found a crack in the foundation and even recommended a structural engineer to evaluate it for us,
truly going above and beyond. At this point, we regard Kirk as not just a realtor but also a friend,
and won’t hesitate to reach out to him again should the need arise.”

Kirk gave me excellent assistance and wise counsel for selling my distressed property in Mesa, which sold in record time at a good price. He helped me understand the intricacies of the legal documents and steps required to sell, helped me fix an appropriate selling price, counseled me on bids received, and always made himself available to me. I recommend him as a seller's or a buyer's broker very highly. Rebecca ClawsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were so grateful we chose to go with Kirk!

BrandonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kirk is phenomenal, so I wanted to make sure to leave a review so others don't miss out on him. My wife and I were first time buyers, and very selective. He was understanding, patient, and he answered any and all questions that were brought up throughout our journey of finding a new home. Throughout the search, he taught us a lot from his personal experiences, and helped us search for any and all concerns the property may have had - to include what would be required to fix those concerns. He was always timely with his responses throughout our entire process. Another thing I must say is he is just a great person, he always truly cared about our situation and went out of his way to better it however he could. We cannot recommend him enough - we already have to family and friends -and we will be reaching out to him in the future for any of our real estate needs. Nina CarpenterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kirk was very persistent in helping our borrowers find the perfect home. He was able to negotiate for the seller to cover all their closing costs. I would highly recommend him. Kevin NgoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was referred to Kirk by my sister who purchased a house with his help years ago. It’s been a long few year journey and it has finally come to an end. I got a house I’m totally ecstatic about and Kirk made the whole process so easy. Once I found a few listings that fit my budget and style, Kirk always made time to check them out with me no questions asked. He goes above and beyond for his clients and it is definitely appreciated. Thanks again!! jim madereTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

His advice on the changing market & value of our property was spot on, I highly recommend Kirk to represent your real estate needs. Susan BermudezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Kirk as the buyer’s agent was a fantastic experience from start to finish. As the listing agent, I truly appreciated his professionalism, prompt communication, and the way he advocated for his client while keeping the transaction smooth for everyone involved. Kirk was always prepared, quick to address any challenges, and handled negotiations with integrity and respect. It was clear he genuinely cared about making the deal work for both sides.

Kirk DeSpain creates a custom estimate using recent comparable sales, local market trends and specific details about your home. The estimate includes your home’s condition, upgrades and location within the neighborhood. It’s not a generic algorithm. You’ll get a value range based on what buyers are actually paying in communities like Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, Mesa, Phoenix, Surprise and more.
Sites like Zillow use broad data models that often miss critical details like remodels, views, lot size and neighborhood dynamics. Kirk provides a personalized review using local knowledge of the Phoenix market and 30+ years of experience working directly with buyers and sellers in the area. That means your report reflects your home’s real value, not just a formula.
You’ll receive:
A detailed home value estimate
Recent comparable sales nearby
Neighborhood trends and buyer demand
Professional insights from Kirk DeSpain tailored to your goals
The report also includes optional next-step recommendations — whether you’re ready to list or just want to plan ahead.
Absolutely. Many homeowners in Phoenix ask for a valuation simply to stay informed. Whether you’re considering selling in the next few months or just want to understand your equity, Kirk DeSpain is happy to help.
Most home value estimate reports are delivered within 24–48 hours. Because Kirk DeSpain personally reviews every submission, you’ll receive a tailored, data-backed valuation instead of an automated reply. If additional info is needed (like recent upgrades), you’ll be contacted directly to ensure accuracy.
Kirk DeSpain works with clients across the surrounding region. Popular areas served include Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, Mesa, Phoenix, Surprise and more. If you’re nearby but unsure, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Chances are your area is included.
Yes. Market conditions shift quickly, and an appraisal or refinance from even a few months ago may no longer reflect today’s pricing. A fresh, local estimate gives you updated insight into your home’s current market value. This is especially helpful if you’re considering selling soon or just want a second opinion.
That’s completely up to you. If you’re ready to take action, Kirk DeSpain can outline a custom selling strategy based on your goals and timeline. If you’re not ready, no problem. You’ll walk away with valuable insights and zero pressure to move forward until the time is right.
No pressure, just a clear picture of your home’s value.
