Meet Our Team
Greg Hague
I was attacked by a bear, crashed my motorcycle in Africa, and force-landed my plane on a remote island beach. I’ve done a lot of exciting things, but nothing has been as fun or rewarding as helping my real estate clients have a magnificent experience. While I am an attorney, bestselling author, speaker and nationally recognized home sale trainer, my greatest joy is helping you sell your home. I have been an Arizona resident since 1981, and I have been enjoying life in Scottsdale ever since.
Teresa Herriot
I am the designated broker for Hague Partners. I was born and raised in Wyoming, but I traded the snow for rain when I moved to Washington. After 15 years building a successful printing/promotional business in Seattle, I relocated to Arizona in 1998 to start my real estate career. My main focus is business development. I live in Scottsdale with my three dogs. I have two grown daughters and two granddaughters. I enjoy photography, hiking and golf in my spare time.
Cathie Gibson
I am originally from a small coastal town in Connecticut, but I have lived here in The Valley of The Sun for over 20 years and have been a full time Realtor for 14 years. I have a loving, supportive husband of over 17 years and I am an extremely proud mom of twin teenage boys who play high school baseball and guitar. 3 friendly “knucklehead” dogs round out my family. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, heading up into the pines, hiking, hanging by any lake, river or ocean and cooking meals from scratch.

I followed my passion and love for real estate about six years ago. I have recently joined Hague Partners and absolutely love it! In my spare time, I love to spend time with family, travel, play golf or you could also find me in a local cigar lounge.
David Newman
I sold over $100M in homes during the past 2 years, ranking among the top real estate agents in America. My primary focus is the luxury home market in Paradise Valley where I have been a leader for many years. I was proud to win the “Rookie of the Year” award from one of the top international real estate brands in the world. Seeing the success at Hague Partners, I knew this was a dynamic and innovative team I wanted to work with.
David Harvey
15 years ago, I packed up and headed west from Fort Wayne, Indiana. I landed in Scottsdale, Arizona with one goal in mind…lose the cold weather and enjoy the sun. Two years later I met my wife, and since then we’ve had five beautiful daughters. When I’m not I’m not painting nails or having tea parties, I’m enjoying the beautiful golf courses Arizona has to offer. After years in financial planning, I decided to move into real estate, and I have found true career happiness through relationships and helping others achieve their dreams.
David Rucker
As a native, I’ve enjoyed everything our amazing state has to offer. I’m married to an amazing interior designer who has her hands full with our kids, sports, school activities and more. My kids are such a blessing, they’re what drive me to be the best dad I possibly can. My oldest son Nolan is our newest team leader that inspires me every day to be the best broker I can be, plus it’s really fun working with my son and protégé.
Chris Baker
I was born in California, but raised in Montana. I moved to Arizona for college in 1988 and now I love calling it home! When I’m not out showing houses, taking listings, or attending meetings, you can find me swinging away on the golf course, swooshing down the ski slopes, road biking, mountain biking, or spending time with my cherished family and good friends. I love to travel too. I abide by the old saying…you need to work hard to play hard, and I love doing both!
Terri Candler
Born and raised in Phoenix made it hard to live anywhere else with our beautiful weather. In 2015, I graduated with my MBA and decided I wanted to be in business for myself. I obtained my real estate license and never looked back! I love meeting people and being their “Yoda” and helping them resolve their issues. I am the proud mommy of a 10-year-old stubborn pug named Nino and when I am not trying to teach an old dog new tricks, I enjoy reading a good book.
Ciara Hyland
I am a rare native Arizonan who has lived here my whole life. As a kid I spent large amounts of my time watching HGTV and since then have dreamt of a real estate career.

I’ve done a lot of amazing things with my husband and our 6 children. I love opportunities to make a difference. Arizona sunsets are breathtaking and I love Camelback Mountain.
Brian Hague
I am the oldest of the three Hague sons. I obtained my real estate license at 22 years old, while still attending Arizona State University. I worked as an agent with Hague Partners for about five years, but when the market crashed in 2008, I decided to go back to school and earn my Master’s in Psychology. I started a music school called Young Rock Stars, as I am an avid guitarist, songwriter, and teacher. Now I am back at work with Hague Partners and I am loving every minute of it!
Joan Mauldin
I am a third generation Arizona native. I was an avid boater for 16 years owning five boats at three different marinas. During that time I owned a bikini business and online doggie boutique. Then I decided my next chapter would be working in real estate which I absolutely love! I am married to Sparky but we are known as Tarzan and Joan for the name of our last boat and my businesses. We have three adult children, two grandchildren, four dogs and a parrot. We like to golf when we can find time.
Jack Merten
At nineteen, I wanted to live faster and go farther than the south side of Chicago would allow so I enlisted in the Army. Later I came to my senses and began investing in rental properties in Texas. Family, fate and real estate brought me to Arizona in 1999. My daughter is in Houston real estate, my son is at ASU pursuing his career in the practice of medicine. Among my varied interests, my passion is golf…the game that slowly drives you insane.

In my free time, I love exploring the desert trails by foot or Jeep, DJing, wakeboarding, and riding skateboards with my husband and dog.

My favorite thing to do when I am not engrossed in my real estate career is travel! My favorite country was Iceland. The best part was dancing inside a glacier! I look forward to traveling the world and finding my next favorite place, but no matter where I go in the world, Phoenix will always be home to me.
