Bart joined MGN Urban in 2008 after a five-year career with a Phoenix new home builder. In that capacity, he achieved Presidents’ Circle twice for new home sales and service excellence. It was the opportunity to focus on urban living and architectural design that led Bart to change course and go upward so-to-speak.
Currently selling The Majestic at Westgate City Center, Bart looks forward to assisting buyers with finding the perfect floorplan to meet their urban living needs. It’s the dynamic urban appeal, excellent use of space, and “living above the action” that drives Bart’s passion for selling such a lifestyle.
Bart’s familiarity with new construction and quality were instilled at a very young age. His earliest building memories date back to preschool when he would follow his father around the family’s Midwest home construction business. Always intrigued by watching a home built from scratch, it’s no wonder Bart’s career emphasis has been in new homes and design. Between scouting new home projects and sketching floorplans, Bart felt it was time to make the leap into multi-family living.
A native of Fremont, Nebraska, Bart has spent 11 years watching and following the Phoenix metro area expand to the thriving city it is today. He also holds a degree in journalism and has been an Arizona licensed realtor for five years. Causes close to his heart include the Special Olympics and pet-related charities. Bart is writing a book on pet loss and also has three dogs.
Bart is seeking his Eco-Broker certification and looks forward to continuing to build his career around urban living.
