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.

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.

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.

We have three adult children, two grandchildren, four dogs and a parrot. We like to golf when we can find time.

Among my varied interests, my passion is golf…the game that slowly drives you insane.
