Compass expands in northern Arizona

Compass is expanding its presence in northern Arizona with the addition of veteran real estate professional Shane Randall, who joins the brokerage after previously working with Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty.

Randall will help lead Compass’ expansion in the Flagstaff, Arizona, market alongside Arizona Sales and Growth Manager Patrick Clark.

“Flagstaff has its own identity and energy,” Randall said. “You’ve got luxury buyers, retirement-home demand, university influence and very limited inventory all operating inside one market. There’s a lot happening here right now, and we see significant opportunity in northern Arizona.”

Randall moved to Arizona from Chicago in 2002 and previously worked in business, advertising and internet marketing before entering real estate.

He has built his business in Scottsdale’s golf and resort communities as well as Flagstaff’s luxury mountain-home neighborhoods, including Forest Highlands and Flagstaff Ranch.

Marie-France Dagenais also joined the northern Arizona team, while Kristina Henson, former Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty agent and current president of the Northern Arizona Association of Realtors, joined Compass last week.

Existing Compass agents Keegan Olson and Chad Dragos will continue serving clients throughout the region.

The brokerage’s expansion comes as Flagstaff continues to attract buyers seeking luxury, second and retirement homes. The market also faces ongoing housing demand tied to the area’s university population and a limited housing supply. Buyers frequently come from the Phoenix metropolitan area, southern California and other western states, Compass added.

Dagenais brings more than 17 years of luxury real estate experience to Compass and is licensed in both Arizona and Florida. She also has experience in residential design, relocation services and home staging.

Compass said it plans to continue expanding its presence in northern Arizona and is exploring a permanent office in the region.
