Lyn Trayte, Associate Broker
I bring my absolute best to my career as a real estate agent every day! It’s not my hobby, it’s not a part time side job- it’s been my business for the past 22 years. I have a great sense of personal satisfaction helping my clients sell their homes with targeted and effective marketing and effectively guiding them through the selling process. I love finding the perfect home for my buyers and being responsive to their needs by going the extra mile.
In 2000, my first year in Real Estate, I was honored to be recognized as ‘Rookie of the Year.’ From that moment on, I have continued to deliver exceptional results for my clients. Many have bought and sold several properties with me over the years as well as referred friends and family members. I treasure the relationships I have created with all my clients that have extended well beyond their initial transaction.
Since 2003, I have been involved in relocation, having been trained and certified with many relocation companies to help their employees relocate to and from our wonderful city. Because of that I am proficient in sales throughout our metropolitan area, giving me a broad knowledge of what our Valley has to offer buyers and sellers. Sometimes I feel like more like a tour guide than a Realtor, but I truly love showing others why I have chosen to call the Sonoran Desert my home.
I am also passionate about volunteering my time within other organizations that help me gain knowledge of the industry and friendships with other realtors across the state and country. I have held many leadership positions within the real estate community such as Local & State President for the Women’s Council of Realtors, Past Director of the North Scottsdale REALTOR® Marketing Session & attended the Scottsdale Leadership Academy in 2013.
I moved to the Scottsdale area in 1991, having spent my youth in Minneapolis and 20+ years in Ohio, after meeting my husband, Rollie, of 46 years, in college. When I’m not working, my husband and I enjoy traveling to our 2nd home in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and spending time with our two sons, their families (including 3 wonderful grandchildren) and our many friends.
Whether you are relocating to our area, buying, selling or even renting a home…I look forward to being your Trusted Real Estate Advisor, and friend!!
