SUPERLATIVE - Key Persons

As dynamic, successful agents for Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty, Tom Scappaticci and Jean Ransdell's days are best described as busy, challenging and rewarding -- but never, ever routine. "We cannot imagine this career ever getting boring," they both agree. "Each day brings new homes, lots and land, spec homes and new experiences, and best of all, exciting new people into our lives." Jean was born and raised in Illinois, she also lived for some time in New Jersey. Almost 20 years ago, she purchased a second home in Scottsdale, and several years later, decided to make the Valley of the Sun her permanent residence. Tom was born and raised in the Detroit area and moved here after he graduated high school in the 70's and has been a permanent resident and selling real estate since then. Tom was a dynamic agent selling new builds when he relocated to the area from the Detroit and then progressed into the luxury market, becoming a broker with his own real estate company. With the market down turn he has since specialized in the luxury market, including luxury specs, lots and land. Tom is a father of two and a grandpa of two much adored grandchildren.
