We are really excited to announce the latest addition to the Thompson’s Realty brokerage ”“ the one and only Jonathan Dalton!

Jonathan comes to us from RE/MAX Desert Showcase and has had his real estate sales license for over six years. Prior to RE/MAX, he was with Century 21 Arizona Foothills.

I’ve known “JD” personally for quite some time, and can attest to his skills, client philosophy and knowledge of real estate and the local markets. He is one of the best real estate writers out there, and if you aren’t subscribing to All Phoenix Real Estate, leave this post now and do so. You’re in for a treat ”“ a gifted writer who isn’t afraid to tell it like it is.

In addition to All Phoenix Real Estate, Jonathan has several Phoenix area real estate web sites, including Westbrook Village Real Estate.  He also pens Real Estate 1.5 where he shares thoughts and opinions on real estate technology and marketing and writes for the Arizona Association of Realtors blog.

Jonathan has a BA in Journalism from Arizona State University, and keeps his journalism skills sharp by free-lancing for the Associated Press, often covering the NHL Phoenix Coyotes and Arizona Diamondbacks games. He’s also covered baseball spring training and the Phoenix Suns. You’d think he would have an inside line for tickets to these professional sports teams”¦

A 30-year resident of the Valley of the Sun, Jonathan resides in Glendale with his lovely bride Kathie and their three children. Wonder beagles Tobey and Captain Morgan round out the family (that’s Tobey in the photo. On the left”¦).

I have complete and absolute trust in Jonathan’s skills and ability. He’s a solid human being, a great agent and will be a huge asset to the team. Welcome aboard PapaGrande!!
