As a licensed realtor and broker with more than 20 years of experience specializing in luxury home sales in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and the greater Phoenix area, Larry Kimmel is thrilled to call Arizona home. Larry brings a stellar reputation, relentless commitment to his clients, a strong attention to detail and a positive attitude, along with a wealth of industry knowledge, to HomeSmart Elite Group. Born and raised in Chicago, Larry began his professional career as a concierge at Hilton International, offering complementary services to hotel guests. He became a licensed realtor in the state of California in 1993 where he lived and worked in San Francisco. The following year, Larry relocated back to his hometown and joined a small, boutique real estate agency where he sold luxury condominiums in downtown Chicago. In 2001, Larry headed west and obtained a real estate license in Arizona. For ten years, Larry sold commercial and residential property.  In 2011, Larry followed his true passion for real estate to the affluent community of Healdsburg, CA, where he focused on luxury wine country estates. When Larry made the decision to come back to Arizona, he joined HomeSmart as a realtor and associate broker. He was drawn to the real estate agency because he admired the strength of the brand, the power of its marketing reach and the excellent reputation of the brokers and agents.  Larry is dedicated to professionally representing and counseling every client. He is committed to creating a truly positive experience by providing open, honest and engaging communication, and lives by this motto: “Success is doing ordinary things extraordinary well.”
