Broker/Owner Margaret Dixon Leads Prudential Arizona Properties To Nearly 1 Billion In Sales, A Remarkable Milestone For Four-Year-Old Real Estate Upstart
Scottsdale, AZ—2005—Prudential Arizona Properties kicks off 2005 with a remarkable milestone. Led by broker/owner Margaret Dixon, the rapidly expanding and wildly successful real estate company has amassed nearly 1 billion in sales since its formation in June 2001, helping it become one of the fastest growing Prudential Affiliates in the nation and the largest in Arizona.
Put in perspective, where many companies pat themselves on their backs for a 10% annual growth rate, Prudential Arizona Properties' grip on the real estate market has netted an average 75% annual upsurge. For a company still in its infancy by real estate standards, that's phenomenal. As one might guess, Dixon has no plans to kick her feet up at this point.
“I rarely stop and look at what we have," says Dixon. "I am always looking forward at how we can raise the bar for ourselves. Everything we do, I weigh to the vision and purpose of the company. We measure our return on investment not by the bottom line, but by the increasing success of our sales associates.”
Dixon continued, “We started with a five-year business plan and accomplished it in two years. The last three and a half years of growth have exceeded our expectations, but my focus and commitment to the company continue to be future-forward. Where can we go next? How can we help our sales associates deliver a higher level of service to their clients?”
It is Dixon's relentless drive to succeed coupled with a contagious work ethic and an altruistic philanthropic arm that has helped drive her team of 400 agents across the Phoenix metro area toward achieving this extraordinary pinnacle - the crux of a powerful story that is as unique as it is impressive. As a divorced mother of three, Dixon represents all that embodies a strong-willed businesswoman, dating back to entering the real estate arena with her father’s successful San Francisco firm in 1975.
After relocating to Arizona in 1995, Dixon joined Farnsworth Realty, a future Prudential affiliate that Dixon purchased in 1999 before changing its name to Prudential Gold Canyon Realty. During her spell with Farnsworth, Dixon catapulted herself to the company’s No. 1 agent and one of the top 100 Prudential REALTORS nationwide. The growth of the company took off when she founded Prudential Arizona Properties in June 2001 with an additional team of 21 agents from Scottsdale and Phoenix.
"I drew on the core values of my upbringing and am able to apply my parent’s legacy to everything I do today," says Dixon. "I didn't let present day circumstances including the devastating events of 9/11 discourage me from expanding and carrying out my vision for a full service, high quality organization. My staff charged ahead with me and it has worked out fantastically.”
Dixon attributes the phenomenal success of Prudential Arizona Properties to her team of 400 high achieving sales associates and 50 plus dedicated employees. Without their common synergy she most certainly would not have reached this extraordinary accomplishment. It is this same page mentality shared by her staff that has led Dixon not only to remarkable professional success but also to a soapbox perch as a champion of women's opportunities.
"I think in the last few decades, woman in leadership roles have become more commonplace," says Dixon. "I believe the nurturing approach to business and people first has become an attractive alternative. That said, our management team is equally split between men and women and everyone shares the same heart. They all share the same passion for people, and this is a people business. They are my true assets."
Prudential Arizona Properties' corporate headquarters is located on the Prudential Campus at Scottsdale and Frank Lloyd Wright and has nine branch offices located throughout the Valley. Office locations include: Chandler, Fountain Hills, Gold Canyon, Mesa, Gilbert, Phoenix/Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, North Scottsdale, and the West Valley.
