About

I am eager to help clients with the learning curve in order to find the property of their dreams or sell their home quickly and efficiently. Buyers and sellers need someone with strengths in technology, communication, local knowledge, and honesty. You will find that here at Iannelli & Associates. I have benefited over the years from an office that has immense local knowledge.” 15 years selling in the greater Prescott areas, hundreds of transactions as an agent and manager, experience in complex transactions, including but not limited to: probate situations, title issues, short sales, trust/trustee sales, estate sales, rural sales, and land sales.
