I’m writing to share the great experiences that Roger Banning has provided for me and my family over the years.
I live in Pennsylvania (PA), approximately 2200 miles from Mesa, AZ. It was my good fortune to find and work with Roger more than 13 years ago, as he guided me through the purchase of a condominium unit in Mesa for my daughter to live in while attending ASU. After graduating my daughter remained in Mesa, but eventually returned to PA and we rented the unit for the past 6 years. Roger and I talked occasionally throughout those years, and he always sent me information about the AZ housing market, keeping me apprised of my investment.
When my long term tenant ended his lease, I decided to sell the unit but knew it needed some work. I didn’t know if it was worth my time and travel to find competitively priced, competent individuals to complete the cleaning, painting, carpeting, and basic handyman work needed to reverse the past 13 years of wear and tear.
I turned to Roger and we began discussing the pros and cons of selling the unit “as-is”, or investing the time and money to restore the unit. Roger dug in, visited the condo sending dozens of “as-is” pictures and provided “comps” about its current value vs. the potential renovated value. Based on Roger’s assessment, I wanted to renovate the unit, but expressed my apprehension with finding and monitoring people to do the work quickly and correctly. Roger explained that he had a trusted team of contractors that he has used for many years to do this sort of work, and assured me that he would oversee the process.
I have bought and sold several investment properties over the past 40 years, so based on the market information provided and Roger’s willingness to get involved with the project, I decided to renovate. Again Roger went to work, and his ever present, calm demeanor remained steadfast as he provided the right people in the correct order to complete the project. He always kept me informed (even with the 3 hour time difference), scheduling contractors, overseeing the process, providing updates, and resolving issues to keep the project moving smoothly.
Roger provided inviting pictures and a great description to support a solid listing. Within the first 36 hours of listing the property, we received 4 “full price” offers, and closed on the “all cash” offer within two weeks. Roger worked very hard to achieve that two week closing, following through on every detail. His knowledge and personal involvement allowed me to receive full market value, for a unit that I was seriously considered selling for far less.
I have been so impressed with Roger’s total commitment to this entire project that I absolutely recommend Roger Banning as the ultimate “Full Service Professional Real Estate Agent” for all of your real estate needs.

Roger has been working with me for the past two years helping me to find the right place in the valley at the right price point. His wealth of knowledge, experience, and calm but firm demeanor are priceless when searching for a home and closing a deal. I completely recommend Roger for anyone looking to buy a home in the Phoenix/Scottsdale Area. After almost 2 years of looking for a home due to the varied market, Roger was able to streamline the process, and advise me on not only the specifics the purchase, but was able to work to get the best the deal possible. His guidance and experience working in Phoenix have proved to be a valuable asset, and his recommendations on things such as home inspections, and other contractors has also proven to be worthwhile and trusted. Thanks Roger for all of your help! You made this first time home purchase experience a breeze.

When we were considering a move within the Scottsdale area, Roger met with us to discuss the market and our goals. We were impressed with his experience, expertise and willingness to listen. He and his ReMax team kept us informed through every step of the process. Roger went the extra distance when the sale was hit with surprising challenges. He kept positive and worked diligently to complete the sale with our best interests at heart. We highly recommend Roger Banning as the BEST choice to be your realtor!

We are glad we worked with Roger in purchasing a home for our daughter and grandchildren. In this current market , with its limited supply, you need a realtor who will quickly set up viewings and help to identify the right price to offer. Roger did this for us and was great in the entire purchasing experience.
He is a professional with a nice personality too.

Downsizing came out of necessity. My husband passed and it became evident that I needed to move to a smaller, one-story property. Roger helped me to locate another property in a different community. Roger has knowledge of rapidly changing market conditions and had a willingness to take the time to help me understand what the effects could be for me. Roger took the extra time to help me understand how these changes would affect me. I highly recommend Roger and thank him for his expertise.

My wife and I recently decided to purchase a home in the Scottsdale area. As out of state buyers, we didn't know any Realtors, but fortunately, we were referred to Roger by a friend. During my 30 year career as a real estate developer, I've worked with dozens of Realtors, few as professional as Roger. As an experienced Realtor, he is very knowledgeable of the area and throughout the process of buying our home, kept us constantly updated as to what was happening with the market. This gave us a great sense of what type of home we'd be able to afford. He was always willing to show us any properties we wanted to see, even after two full days of looking at numerous homes. While careful not to impart his personal opinions regarding style or finishes, he was insightful and cautioned us regarding any negative attributes to a specific property or neighborhood. When the time came to make an offer on the home we wanted, Roger's negotiating skills allowed us to purchase the home for less than we thought we'd be able to. Roger set up all the home inspections to happen in one day so I could fly in and talk to all the various inspectors. This process greatly helped us understand the workings of the home and what items needed attention. Lastly, with Roger's attention to detail, the closing went off without a hitch. We highly recommend Roger if you're looking for a home in Scottsdale, or the surrounding area. - Emil and Susan Wanatka

Roger is an exceptional real estate professional. I reengaged Roger after he helped me sell my mother's home during a probate process in 2011. To my surprise, he remembered me and immediately made my wife and me feel comfortable and treated us as a top priority. His responsiveness was outstanding. His market knowledge was impressive and he never pressured us to hurry or make a decision. He kept insisting he would only be happy if we were happy. We gave him criteria to help with our search but he began to understand both our spoken and unspoken needs. Despite us pausing our search for a few months, he remained engaged in the background and provided us market updates. After resuming our search, and after numerous house viewings, we were able to find and buy our 'forever' home. Roger also helped us sell our current home after only listing it for 6 days. We could not have had a better outcome. His high integrity, endless energy, and honest feedback was the key to our ultimate success. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a true professional! He is an MVP!

Roger was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout my home buying process. He was professional, prompt, always flexible to my schedule, honest and reliable. He did a great job guiding me through the home buying process and was very knowledgeable about all the different areas I was interested in seeing. He helped me navigate the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 market and I ended up with a great home I could not be happier with. I would 100% recommend Roger to any of my friends and family, and recommend him to you, too!

We’ve used Roger for the past 5 years to sell and buy or homes and we haven’t regretted a minute of it. He’s helped guide us through 2 purchases and sales and each one has been pain free and profitable. He’s always there to answer questions and educate along the way and we’ve never taken any of that for granted. We would never go anywhere else for our realty needs and would recommend Roger to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Roger responded very quickly to an online request for information on a property in Scottsdale about 2 years ago. My husband and I lived in Oakland CA at the time and were contemplating a move to the Scottsdale area at some time in the future. We were not in a particular rush. Roger gave us great information about the area and best values. He put us on his property listing feed. We met with him in person about 1.5 years ago and he showed us a variety of properties. One of them turned out to be the property we bought - a new build in the Toll Brothers Community of Monte Vista. It really had everything we were looking for in a home and at a great price. Roger gave us great advice and support over the time the house was in construction, found us a great mortgage broker and other important services. He was patient, informative and helpful - never pushy or overbearing. We completely trust him. I highly recommend him to everyone.

As a first time home buyer I couldn't have asked for a better agent than Roger. Not only was he easy to reach when I had questions the answers were straight to the point and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend working with Roger on any current or future real estate needs.

Roger is, hands down, the best realtor we've ever worked with. He came to us as a referral from a friend after we'd had a terrible experience with a different realtor.
We found him to be unbelievably reliable. He responded to questions or messages promptly. He was very knowledgeable about the area and helped us make some key cost saving decisions. The process was quick and efficient and he still keeps in regular contact on general real estate matters. We've already recommended him to friends and family and would do so again. We were very pleased with his services.

We were "long-distance" clients and Roger handled everything very well for us. It was great dealing with someone who knows the area well enough to guide us to successful conclusions. We have been both the buyer and a seller with Roger at the helm. We would definitely contact him again should the need arise.

Roger was a miracle and a blessing to me.
Not that long ago my father passed away in Arizona and I live in New York. Needless to say any real estate transaction can be somewhat challenging and stressful but Roger made it all possible and smooth from renovations to the sale of my parents home. I still have such wonderful thoughts of his kindness and help!
Thank you, again!

We were referred to Roger by a friend and were very happy to have met him! He made a stressful time very smooth- we put an offer on the third house we looked at and our offer was accepted the next day, over other offers! What we appreciated most about Roger was that he was very timely in all of his communication, he was honest when we were looking for advice as first-time buyers, and he has the knowledge of how to beat out other offers in a competitive market. Lastly and most importantly, we felt he was genuine and had our best interests in mind, not his own as a realtor.

If you are looking for someone who is there for you throughout the whole process of buying or selling your home with knowledge and grace, Roger is your realtor. He is someone who always gets back to you as soon as he can which is right away. He's reliable and eager to get the job done for you. We always felt we were in good hands with Roger. When we buy our next home in 30 years, we hope Roger is still around! :)

Roger Banning is the ultimate professional real estate agent. He was always available, always followed through on everything that he said, was timely, prompt courteous and professional.

My North Scottsdale house was listed in July, 2015 and was in contract within 5 days at nearly the full listing price. Roger took care of nearly everything including the house cleanup, mini-renovation and staging. I moved out of state several weeks before the house was listed. Roger kept me informed of all details and worked within a budget to make the entire transaction seamless.

The house closed today 9/3/15 with no issues. I am grateful to Roger for his significant knowledge and professionalism in the matter.

Roger and his associates are amazing. Working with Roger has showed me that there are still upstanding business men. He is honest, professional and has his clients best interest in mind. He listens to what you say, he is not running his own agenda he really cares about how he is representing you and making sure he gets you as close to what you want as possible. I always felt that Roger had our back and nowadays that seems to be rare in our society so it was with great pleasure that I got to work with Roger. We not only gained a valued professional acquaintance but a dear friend and someone I would call family. Before the final purchase of our home and after he has always been there for me and my family. To this day almost a year after the close of our house I can call Roger and he is always there for me. He also put me in contact with a Lender and that Lender was very instrumental in our family being able to purchase our home. I would highly suggest people to Roger, I just wish he could clone himself and be in every State. He is a stand up, straight up man and I am proud to know him.

My family and I have worked with Roger several times now on both the buying and selling of properties. When it finally came time for me to sell my home, there was no doubt in my mind that I was going to ask Roger to once again be my realtor agent. Especially since I was no longer living locally and I knew that I needed someone that is trustworthy, honest, and knows the business. In the many times that I have worked with him, he has always made me feel like I was his priority and he was extremely efficient at navigating the process of the sale. If he didn't know an answer, he was honest and found out the necessary information quickly. Because of Rogers efficient work, to the great surprise of everyone, my property had an offer the first day it was on the market and we closed much sooner than expected, pleasing all parties! Not only did he help me to successfully sell my home he taught me many valuable pieces of the process in a very respectable manner.
On a more personal note, Roger not only is knowledgeable, he is a leader amongst his peers and and is always seeking further information and opportunity to expand is business practices, so that he can provide a better experience for his clients and for himself as an individual. If you need a realtor, you need Roger!!

Roger does an excellent job representing his customers. He is efficient, smart, easy to talk to, quick to respond and gives great advice. I have done three transactions with him---the most recent was selling my home while I was out of town. In all three transactions, my expectations were exceeded. I truly believe that I got the most money for my home because of his advice. He treated my money and home like it was his own. If you are looking for a great realtor, choose Roger!

As a first time home buyer, Roger has been great for our family and I and exceeded our expectations. We love our house that we were able to buy with the help of Roger. We let him know what we were looking for, he gave us plenty of options, and remained patient throughout our numerous showings. Once we decided on a house, Roger was there for us every step of the way, and negotiated a very fair deal. He remains involved in our lives to this day, giving us advice and referrals for whatever we've needed around the house. If you are looking to buy or sell a home, I would highly recommend Roger banning as your realtor.

We moved to Phoenix from Fort Worth and were given Roger Banning's name by an agent that had worked with our family in another city. We could not be more pleased with the service that we received from Roger. He initially contacted us prior to the sale of our Texas home, in order to get an understanding of what were looking for in a new home, and then stayed in weekly contact with us throughout the time that the sale of our home was pending. He treated us better, before he had even met us, than the listing agent on our for-sale home.
When we did finally start our search in Arizona, Roger was open, honest and knowledgeable about the entire process. The whole time our new house was under contract, Roger kept us informed every step of the way.

Roger has been my real estate agent for 5 years now, and for good reason. He was instrumental in helping my wife and I purchase our first house together in 2011. With his knowledge of market trends, we were able to find a great "starter home" in the perfect location not only for our current needs, but also potential growth in value. My wife and I completed renovations and upgrades throughout the 3 years we lived in the property and loved every minute in our home. After the market rebounded, I randomly inquired whether or not Roger thought it a good time for us to upsize and if we should rent or sell our current home. After running the numbers, we decided to have him list our house.

Roger provided unparalleled insight on what we should and shouldn't focus on while prepping the house to sell, literally saving us thousands on various items and repairs we thought we needed to make the property more marketable. Roger brought in a professional photographer which undoubtedly made the difference when potential buyers viewed our house online. Needless to say, the home showed fantastically and we had multiple offers, including the full asking price, within 3 days of listing it.

My wife and I turned to Roger yet again to help us purchase our next property. This time we decided we wanted to use the proceeds we made to purchase land so we could build our dream house on it. To us, this seemed a daunting, almost unrealistic endeavor, but Roger guided us through every step along the arduous process. Twenty months later, we are so fortunate to be living in our dream home in an incredible location and couldn't be happier. There's no way we could have done this without Roger's insight, guidance and friendship. We will always recommend him for his real estate professionalism and he will remain our friend for life.

Roger was a valuable asset to us in knowing the area and assisting in securing a home for us that was absolutely perfect and exceeded our expectations. All this and under our budget as well. I have been in the real estate/lending industry for 30 years and know the difference between a Realtor who represents a clients best interest or does not. Roger gets the job done and you know he has your back!
