Today we’d like to introduce you to David Arustamian.
David grew up in a family of self-made successes. Originally born in Azerbaijan, David and his family immigrated to the United States as refugees, doing just about anything and everything to make ends meet and build their own version of the American Dream. After years of hardscrabble efforts, David’s father — his role model — began building his own business, and David found his inspiration in launching a successful eBay enterprise at the young age of 14. Soon enough, he’d paired up with a local car dealership to expand their reach, selling used cars online across the country. Already a practiced salesman, David set his sights on the next big challenge: real estate. He earned his license in Massachusetts in 2009, and after a relocation to Arizona a few years ago, he’s since carved out a reputation for thorough, communicative, and trustworthy service as a budding real estate aficionado.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Adjusting to a new state. Adjusting to a new area with limited family and friends. Establishing myself in a business which thrives off referrals from people in your social circle.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty story. Tell us more about the business.
To ensure that listings move off the market with speed and at a desirable price point, David takes an active approach to marketing. He stages calling campaigns, goes door-knocking, and leverages Sotheby’s global imprint. Likewise, his involvement in two professional coaching networks ensures that access to the top agents around the world will add visibility to properties headed to market. Targeted campaigns across social media and the leading digital listing platforms also promote prime exposure for properties making their debut. “My clients know and understand the goals I’ve set for their properties, and it’s my job to help as many people as possible transform their home sale or purchase into the smoothest transaction they’ve ever experienced,” he says. “I want to knock people’s socks off with the level of service I provide. When my clients are happy and I know I’ve surpassed their expectations — that’s what gives me the drive to continue doing what I’m doing.”
While much of his work is focused in Phoenix’s Southeast Valley and Scottsdale, David goes where clients lead. He works primarily in listing properties that have had little success thus far — those that have expired, were canceled, or are for sale by owner. “These are the sellers who most need us and our expertise,” David explains. “They’ve
likely had a bad experience in the past, and they’re looking for someone to turn it around for them. That’s where we come in.” To transform the sales of his clients’ homes, David prioritizes steadfast communication, innovative techniques, and utmost professionalism. Beyond those attributes, David cites his unflagging work ethic as one of the main drivers of his success to date. “The number one reason clients work with me is because I outwork any other agent in every part of the sales process,” he says. “I earn my clients top dollar, and get them moved where they want and in the timeframe they want.” His track record thus far is a testament to David’s upbeat, proactive attitude. In his first year in the business, he spearheaded 14 transactions. By his second year, he more than doubled that figure. Even after the adjustment period inherent in relocating to a new region, he’s made the Phoenix area his cherished home, offering clients masterfully in-depth knowledge of the local inventory and market. “I’d never go anywhere else,” he says of his adopted hometown.
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
The real estate business is luck driven by non-productive agents. Agents that treat this as a real job and work day-in and day-out have a sustainable business that is not sporadic. The more we work the “luckier” we get!
