Who We Are:
Your Trusted Realtors from the PNW to the Valley of the Sun
We are one of the few real estate companies led by a Certified Appraiser, giving our clients a distinct advantage when buying or selling. Our expertise ensures accurate pricing strategies designed to maximize value and protect your investment.
Relocating from Washington to Arizona is one of the biggest decisions you'll make — and one of the most exciting. Whether you're drawn by Arizona's year-round sunshine, lower cost of living, no state income tax, or simply a fresh start, Badger Real Estate is the team built specifically for this move.
We are one of the only real estate teams in the country with deep roots in both markets. Scott Badger brings 15 years of real estate experience in the Seattle area and Western Washington, along with over 12,000 completed appraisals as a Certified Appraiser. That combination is rare — and it's a significant advantage for you. When you list your Washington home with Scott, you're getting pricing strategy backed by appraisal-level market knowledge, not guesswork. Homes are priced right from day one, which means fewer days on market and more money in your pocket.
On the Arizona side, Alayna provides transaction coordinating and marketing expertise. An ASU alumna who has lived in Mesa, Tempe, and Scottsdale for seven years, she knows the Valley's neighborhoods the way only a longtime resident can. She'll help you understand the difference between a golf-course community in Scottsdale and a family-focused suburb in Gilbert, which new construction builders have the best reputations, and how to find a home that actually matches the lifestyle you're moving toward — not just a house that checks boxes on paper.
Why Experience on Both Sides of the Move Matters
The Seattle and Phoenix real estate markets behave differently. Pricing dynamics, negotiation norms, inspection contingencies, and closing timelines all have regional nuances. Working with an agent who only knows one market means you're going into at least half of your transaction blind.
Scott's appraisal background means he evaluates properties the way a bank does — methodically, without emotional attachment, and with a clear eye on true market value. That protects you from overpaying in a competitive Arizona market, and ensures your Washington home is listed at a price designed to attract serious buyers quickly.
Together, Scott and Alayna have guided clients through over $140 million in real estate transactions. That experience — across listings, purchases, investments, new construction, and off-market deals — means almost nothing will surprise us on your transaction.
