Golf Realty Network’s founders and owners, Jane and Al Andersen, REALTOR’S® with Keller Williams Realty - Sonoran Living, started GRN in an effort to better serve the golfers and golf enthusiasts that want to “Live Where They Play”. Their network of real estate agents, from a variety of brokerages, specialize in golf properties and have extensive knowledge about the courses they cover, the community, the homes, and amenities.

Golf Realty Network’s sole purpose is to “connect” golfers and golf enthusiasts to real estate through their “member” real estate agents. The Southwest Section’s 390+ courses are divided into 11 zones.  Each “member” agent is assigned a specific zone to cover, based on their expertise, course knowledge, and preference. The agents receive buyer and seller leads from Golf Realty Network on a regular basis based on rotation. Golf Realty Network currently has 22 member agents in their network, covering Phoenix, Scottsdale, Payson, Sedona, Las Vegas, Flagstaff, and Tucson. They have plans to add an additional 35 agents based on need and coverage. Agents must apply and demonstrate a golf specialization. They are “vetted” by the SWSPGA and the Golf Realty Network™ owners.  

GRN’s goal is to be known as the best source to find golf property or sell golf property in Arizona or Southern Nevada. To accomplish this goal, they’ve designed and developed an online Golf Property of the Southwest™ listing magazine that is state of the art for searching or browsing golf properties based on state, zone, city, or golf course. The Magazine is available to any real estate agent and can be found on their site: www.thegolfrealtynetwork.com/ezine. Agents may upload their golf listings to the online magazine at a fraction of what a print ad would cost. They are linked to the SWSPGA’s online reservation system, www.theteetimestore.com, where golfers around the globe can go to book discounted tee times and search for golf properties at the same time. 

The Andersen’s recently started an internet radio show called The Golf Realty Network with Jane & Al. The show airs “live” every Wednesday morning, 8AM PST on VoiceAmerica.com, Variety Channel, and is archived and downloadable on Apple iTunes or MP3 Player. The show promotes the Game of Golf and the Business of Real Estate. Every week, guests are featured from both industries. It’s a little golf, a little real estate, and a lot of fun! 

Jane and Al Andersen are Business Graduates from Arizona State University. Prior to starting Golf Realty Network, they both had careers in corporate America. Jane was a Sr. Consultant, Trainer, and Coach for a World Class Training Company out of Canada & US. Al was in High Tech Sales with IBM, Amdahl, and EMC. They started their careers in real estate in 2004, and shortly after became known as ‘The Purple Cow Team’, after Seth Godin’s famous book, Purple Cow.
