Gaylen Thornton

I began my sales and marketing career in 1974 working with residential and commercial customers in the fence industry. I have gained knowledge and expertise as a top sales professional from my National Sales Manager and Director of Sales positions for American Optical, Lehigh Safety Shoe Company and Varsity Contractors. I have extensive experience in working with residential and commercial property managers and REALTORS. This work includes home and commercial building repairs and improvements, cleaning and landscape care. This gives me a unique persepective to buying and selling real estate and servicing your needs.

I have been in Arizona since 1996 and lived in Scottsdale for 9 years; moving to Surprise 20 months ago to be closer to my office. I have been President of the Mission de los Arroyos Home Owner Association and currently serve as Treasurer on the Ashton Ranch HOA Board of Directors. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree, a broadcast degree from the Western School of Broadcast as well as maintaning my Arizona Real Estate License.

Through education, career, and voluntary efforts, I have acquired a wealth of experience which gives you the “Selling Edge” in your real estate transaction. I am customer service driven and excel at providing clear and comprehensive information to make your home buying or selling experience smooth and enjoyable. I have covered the valley in my Director of Sales position at Varsity Contractors and have developed extensive real estate market knowledge in all areas from Scottsdale to Surprise. Peoria, Glendale, Goodyear, Buckeye and Avondale are also an area of expertise. I look forward to providing you with the “Selling Edge.”
