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.

I have been an Arizona resident since 1981, and I have been enjoying life in Scottsdale ever since.

Elyse Rangel
I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona and I am so proud to call this state my home. Like everyone who grew up in Arizona I have always loved the outdoors! I am truly my happiest when I am out in the wilderness with my friends just enjoying each others company and taking in the beautiful scenery. I am also extremely passionate about music and take every chance I can get to go to a concert! Last year my favorite band was in town so I messaged the drummer asking for tickets to surprise my sister, by luck he saw my message and gave us free tickets! It was one of the best nights of my life and it taught me the importance of taking a chance and reaching out to people because usually the worst they can say is “no”. I love people and making connections which is why I believe that real estate is such an amazing career and I am so excited to be starting my real estate journey with Hague Partners!
Bre Roberts
Born and raised in Colorful Colorado. I moved to Arizona to attend ASU for my undergrad in Exercise Science and Business and intuitively knew this would be my forever home. I graduated with honors as my family pushed me to be the best version of myself from a very young age…I tried the corporate arena but always knew something was missing so I took a leap of faith and went all-in with Real Estate. I fell in love instantaneously with going above and beyond to ensure that my client’s experience, whether it be buying or selling, is streamlined and flawless. My biggest mission is for my clients to have a phenomenal experience working with me while getting the best deal possible. No matter their wants or needs, I’ll be honest every step of the way and do everything in my power to make that happen. In my free time, you can catch me finding my next adventure, digging my head in a book, or pushing my body to the next level.
Julia Hastings
I was born and raised in Germany and graduated from the University in Regensburg with a Master’s degree in Comparative Intercultural Studies, English & Stage, Movie and Media Productions. I then moved to the U.S. in 2011 and have not regretted that step once. Since then I have been very successful in the hospitality industry and was able to gain extensive customer service and luxury experience during my 10 year career. I recently translated this experience into the real estate arena and am excited to work with my clients and provide outstanding service and guidance.
Kim Horyza
I was born and raised in Arizona, attended U of A and graduated from Walter Cronkite at ASU. I was a broadcast journalist, but my love for sales brought me to Houston, Texas where I was a Territory Manager for a pharmaceutical company. A promotion took me home to Arizona with a role in product management and marketing, and eventually, Vice President of Operations. My passion for sales, marketing, and real estate, allow my clients to achieve their dreams with the endless possibilities in the Arizona market. I love hiking, working out, sports, spending time with my friends and family and just having fun! I also enjoy home projects and I’m always finding things to repurpose or decorate. I’m honored to be a part of the Hague Partner’s team and work alongside my dad!
Sheryl Chiaramonte
Transplanted from Cape Cod, MA right out of Business College, I spent the next 15+ years in the hospitality industry. I then parlayed my customer service and sales experience into a rewarding career in Real Estate where I continue to enjoy this ever-changing, never dull industry. I have traveled to six countries, some more than once and still can’t imagine living anywhere but here in the beautiful Valley of the Sun. I have found my home with Hague Partners. See you at the closing table

I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. I moved to Arizona in 2008 to attend Northern Arizona University on a springboard and platform diving scholarship. In 2019 I married my best friend Steven and we have a cute little chiweenie named Bailey. As a native Oregonian, I love spending my time outdoors hiking and when it is hot, I love to go swimming.
