Specializing in North Scottsdale’s high-equity properties and large-lot sellers, Taylor Smart quickly made a name for himself in the competitive Arizona real estate market. A former professional baseball player with the Seattle Mariners and collegiate coach at the University of Arkansas, Taylor applies the same discipline, strategy and work ethic to real estate that he did on the field.

Since launching his career in 2021 with The Brokery, Smart has transitioned from working with buyers to becoming a top listing agent. In under a year, he grew from handling a single listing to managing 10, closing $14 million in sales in his second full year. His understanding of redevelopment opportunities in Scottsdale has made him a go-to agent for sellers looking to capitalize on increasing land values.

Smart first entered the industry by scouting distressed properties for custom-home builders. Working directly with these properties gave him valuable insight into market trends and what makes a property a wise investment. Smart’s clients often recognize his ability to spot hidden value, his proactive communication style and his dedication to ensuring they get the best possible returns. He stays ahead of the competition with an eye for detail and bold marketing tactics.

In addition to working in Arizona, Smart founded a Knoxville-based real estate group called Volunteer Ventures. This group focuses on helping college athletes build wealth through property investment. His commitment to mentorship and financial literacy comes from his experiences in professional sports, where he recognized the importance of long-term financial planning.

When he’s not focused on real estate, Smart stays active through sports. He is an avid golfer and competitive pickleball player who brings the same commitment to his hobbies as his career. Whether working with luxury sellers or helping first-time investors, his goal is consistently to deliver top-tier results while building lasting relationships.
