Intro

Silicon Valley
to Silicon Desert

The Phoenix metro's emergence as the 'Silicon Desert' — driven by major semiconductor investment and corporate relocations — has accelerated a steady migration from the San Francisco Bay Area to Scottsdale and its surrounding communities.

For Bay Area professionals and families, the math is compelling: dramatically lower housing costs, a flat 2.5% income tax versus California's 13.3% top rate, and a lifestyle of space, sunshine, and outdoor access that the Bay Area's prices increasingly preclude.

We help Bay Area clients translate substantial home equity into significantly more home in Scottsdale, while coordinating the California exit and Arizona purchase as dual-licensed brokers.
