Cara Lonsdale, REALTOR®

About Cara Lonsdale

_While I wasn’t born in Arizona, I am as close to a native as someone can get, and call Scottsdale my home,
just Northeast of the town of Paradise Valley (which should not be confused with the Paradise Valley area
located in Northeast Phoenix). I am a vested partner with Keller Williams Arizona Realty, and have held my
active real estate license at Keller Williams for as long as I have been a Realtor (since 1997). I was also
previously active in California from 2004-2008 at the Keller Williams in Beverly Hills where I specialized in
the relocation of California homeowners to Arizona and vice versa.

In addition to being an active Realtor in AZ, I am an active Real Estate investor myself, starting in 1999 with
a house-hack (before house-hacking was even a thing), and becoming a landlord in 2002 when I did my
second house hack, and rented out the first. Fast forward to today, I hold a portfolio of properties with my
husband, Brady. With experience in house-hacking, flipping, and BRRRR strategies, I provide a wealth of
knowledge, and experience to fellow investors (both new, and experienced) looking to build portfolios for
themselves. In addition, I provide a realistic picture of multi-family deal analysis, and can cut through all of
the puffed up proforma that often is offered with multi-family deals by over eager sellers, or their agents.
Multi-family can be tricky in AZ, and investors can trust me to give them an accurate picture of what the
investment truly would be.

Over the years, I have built a team of competent key contributors to assist in the process of finding the best
fit for my investor clients. These team members include conventional and hard money lenders who are
capable of working with all types of investors, title and escrow companies that are investor friendly,
insurance agents that can provide flexibility for policies during vacant/rehab periods with the ability to
convert to regular policies once flipped or occupied, competent property managers, home inspectors that
provide thorough inspection reports, and so much more!

Because I am an experienced investor myself, I am a smart choice for investors who are looking for a
Realtor who understands how to search for ideal properties, evaluate a deal properly, and negotiate on
behalf of the investor. I hold a CNE (Certified Negotiations Expert) designation which equips me to be a
strong negotiator. Less than 1% of all agents Nationwide possess this crucial expertise. I am certified as an
eAgent, demonstrating mastery of eAgentC technology tools, which improves the manner in which I search
for properties, utilizes Internet resources and convey information to you through the use of the Internet and
other technological means. This is particularly important to out of town investors who would like to build a
portfolio in AZ from their home state.

Through creative searching strategies, I utilizes more than just the MLS for coming up with properties that fit
an investor’s criteria, including, but not limited to, a network of wholesalers, FSBOs, pre-foreclosures,
trustee sales, HUD, Zillow, and other Internet resources.

Clients of all experience levels can trust that I will meet them at their level, offering the kind of guidance,
communication and support that is necessary to build confidence in the deal, and grow a long term
relationship as your go-to Realtor in AZ. From assisting with a lease-up after acquisition, to referring
contractors for a rehab/flip, or anything in between, I go above and beyond the traditional Realtor, and would
like to think of myself as an invaluable part of my clients’ investing success.
