Nara Brown Team Real Estate Agents, Oro Valley AZ

Oro Valley Arizona Real Estate Agents

The Nara Brown Team has assembled an amazing tight knit team that we consider our family. We focused on forming a small but powerful team of only highly skilled & experienced professionals rather than amassing a large team of less seasoned agents. We are of the mind that quality is more important than quantity.

Real Estate has evolved into a complex business that involves technology, websites, digital photography & video, marketing, negotiating, paperwork and a lot of inspiration and perspiration. The demands of the real estate business have grown beyond what an individual Oro Valley real estate agent can excel at on their own. The benefit of a team is that each member adds a unique talent or skill, and it shows! Our Oro Valley team members excel at their profession, so our clients receive exceptional personal care and professionalism throughout the purchase or sale of their Oro Valley home.

Nara Brown

Team Leader

REALTOR

Nara’s passion for real estate started at a young age because her father was a custom home builder, and she grew up around the construction site. After moving to Tucson in 2000, Nara got her real estate license in 2001 and spent many years working as a site sales agent for local home builders. This gave Nara the opportunity to be involved with new communities throughout Tucson being built from the ground up. She has an in-depth knowledge of the entire building process from start to finish. This has given her a great experience for running a successful real estate team.

Nara enjoys interior design & renovation projects and has been renovating her own 1965 adobe in the Foothills for the past several years. She is also a fitness buff who loves skiing, yoga, hiking, and drinking an occasional glass of wine. Nara and her husband stay busy raising their two children ages.

Joanne grew up at the beach in San Clemente, California.

When visiting her youngest son in Tucson she fell in love with the mountains and retired here in 2018. After buying a home in Oro Valley, Joanne decided she was too young to retire, got her real estate license and now works full-time as the Transaction Manager for the Nara Brown Team. Joanne enjoys traveling throughout the United States but her favorite trips to date were New Zealand, Ireland and the trip through the Panama Canal. Joanne has 2 sons and 3 grandsons who like to visit Arizona.
