Kimberly Ewing

Director of Operations, Vacation Rental Manager

Sometimes we wonder if Kimberly actually moonlights as Wonder Woman. Her compassion and big heart deserves an honorary round of applause! Not only has she played an integral role as Director of Operations at AZRNR, but she also oversees and manages vendor and guest management services, as well as short term rental management and client relations.

No doubt her professional approach to 5 Star service has helped AZRNR achieve our 5 Star status, a direct reflection of the hard work she puts in each and every day to ensure our vacation and furnished rental properties are kept in top notch condition and always ready for the next guest’s arrival. The combination of vision and dedication create the perfect environment for business success, and Kimberly’s exceptional personality combined with industry knowledge and attention to detail sets the stage for our clients ongoing satisfaction!

When Kimberly’s not handling guest inquiries, or running around town ensuring her properties look their best with her phone in hand, she enjoys kayaking, camping, traveling, exploring new places, and experiencing new adventures. Although she has a tenacity for vacation rental management, she also continues to work towards obtaining her real estate license to help compliment her property management opportunities and expand her long term management portfolio.

Lead House Attendant

Maria has been part of the AZRNR Team since before AZRNR was even a team. With her kind smile, and a meticulous eye for detail, she performs her role with AZRNR to perfection and keeps our vacation rental properties looking their best for each guests arrival. From top to bottom, Maria brings a professional approach that enhances AZRNR’s 5-STAR guest experience. She’s a vital member and treasure to have on the team, but when she’s not hard at work she enjoys traveling, spending time with her young son, and assisting in his educational endeavors!

Ian Chait

BRANCH BROKER, BRANCH MANAGER - BARRETT REAL ESTATE

We’re pretty sure Ian’s been in the real estate business about as long as God’s dog, and there’s some question about how many cactus he’s lifted his leg on along the way, but one thing’s for sure, he has built quite a reputation as one of Maricopa County’s Premier Real Estate Brokers. Don’t let the long hair fool you, under that mop (which we’re happy to say has been trimmed up nicely) is a creative and brilliant mind that keeps us on our toes. He’s kind of like a mixture between a 1970’s Rock Star and Rainman! Ian’s always there to provide his agents with the resources and information they need, and loves to assist buyers and sellers with their real estate transactions as well. As we look to expand our offices throughout Arizona, we’re happy to have a broker with the extensive training needed to help us succeed in the latest real estate strategies. Ian is a great guy and a magnificent broker, with a big heart. Not only does he have a tremendous amount of real estate experience, but life experience as well. In his free time he serves his community tremendously by helping guide ‘youth at risk’ to turn their lives around. When Ian isn’t closing deals on his own, overseeing agent transactions, or basking in the pool tanning his Adonis like body, he lives his life by the motto, “Some guys play hard to get… I play hard to want”!
