Twenty years in one market
Meet Scottsdale REALTOR® Kathy Rios
Scottsdale REALTOR Kathy Rios
Scottsdale REALTOR® Kathy Rios has been licensed since 2004 and has sold North Scottsdale full time ever since. First-time buyers, investors and sellers all get the same thing from her: guidance built around their goals rather than a script.
As a full-time agent at Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty, she closes around 30 transactions a year and has sold over $35 million in the last three years. She reads that as a reflection of her clients’ trust, and of the negotiating that keeps them coming back.
The number she is proudest of is not on this page: how many clients come back for their next move. Their reviews say the rest. If you are planning yours, she would be glad to be the one you call.
Personal and physical
Eye-catching postcards, pop-by gifts on the doorstep, and collaborations with local businesses. It is marketing Kathy runs herself, on top of the Sotheby’s International Realty network behind every listing, and every client gets a thoughtful thank-you along the way.
Treated Like Family
Every client is treated like family, from the first call to long after closing. Over 150 five-star reviews say it better than she can.
What twenty years looks like
She picks up
Available 24/7 is a claim a lot of agents make. Kathy’s reviews are consistent on this specific point: calls, texts and emails come back fast, including on the weekend your inspection period is running out. Clients who bought with her ten years ago still have her number, and still use it when it is time to sell.

About Kathy
How long has Kathy been selling real estate in Arizona?
She has been licensed since 2004 and has worked full time in the business ever since, closing around thirty transactions a year and more than $35 million in volume in the last three years.
Which areas does she cover?
She sells across Scottsdale and the north valley. Ten communities are the ones she works most constantly and can speak to street by street: Troon North, DC Ranch, Desert Highlands, Grayhawk, McDowell Mountain Ranch, McCormick Ranch, Gainey Ranch, Kierland, Old Town Scottsdale and the Cactus Corridor. If your search sits outside them, ask anyway.
Does she work with buyers as well as sellers?
Both, and with first-time buyers as readily as with investors. Her buyer’s guide and seller’s guide each walk the full process step by step.
What does working with a Sotheby’s International Realty agent actually get me?
Access to a global marketing network and the referral reach that comes with it, on top of a local agent who knows the ten communities. For a seller in particular, that combination is the argument.
How quickly does she respond?
Same day, and usually much faster. It is the thing her reviews mention most often.
Is she a REALTOR®?
Yes. Kathy is a REALTOR® and a member of the National Association of REALTORS®, which means she is bound by its Code of Ethics in addition to Arizona licensing law.
