Your Broker in Paradise Valley

Managed Like It’s Our Own.

I’m Olivier “Ollie” Lessing Barré, designated broker of Barré Properties, and I personally oversee every property we manage in Paradise Valley. I’ve spent more than twenty years in real estate. In 2007 I founded a property management company on the Westside of Los Angeles, serving owners in Beverly Hills, Malibu, Calabasas and the neighborhoods around them, and grew it into a large family-run business before moving my family to Arizona in 2020.

We manage throughout Maricopa County, and Paradise Valley is a market we know and specialize in: one home per acre, guest houses that cannot be leased on their own, the Town’s short-term rental permit and homes whose pools, landscape and systems need watching whether anyone is living there or not. When you call, you reach the broker who signed your agreement, not a call center or a rotating account manager.

Our relationships are built on handshakes, trust and accountability. We keep every owner’s information private, put every term in writing before anything is signed, and send monthly statements with every invoice attached.

Why Paradise Valley

A Town Built to Stay Residential.

Paradise Valley incorporated on May 24, 1961, when residents organized to keep Phoenix and Scottsdale from annexing the area, and it has held to that idea since. Most of the town is zoned for one home per acre, resorts and other commercial uses operate only under special use permits, and the Town levies no property tax of its own. About 12,658 people lived here at the 2020 Census, an estimated 12,251 by July 2025, on 15.4 square miles between Camelback Mountain on the south and Mummy Mountain at the center of town.

The resorts are the town’s business: Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain, Mountain Shadows, the Camelback Inn, the Omni at Montelucia and the Hermosa Inn are among its largest employers. Most homes are in the Scottsdale Unified School District. Old Town Scottsdale, the Biltmore area and Sky Harbor are a short drive, and Spring Training at Scottsdale Stadium and Salt River Fields at Talking Stick brings seasonal visitors every February and March.

For an owner, the defining number is the owner-occupied rate: about 95% for 2020 to 2024, which makes rentals here scarce and every lease close to one of a kind. The Census Bureau’s survey tops out before it reaches this town, reporting the median home value only as $2 million or more and the median gross rent as $3,500 or more. There is no comp book for a market this size, so we price each home on its own comparables, often across the line in Scottsdale and Phoenix.

Also a Primary Focus

Commercial Property Management.

Retail and shopping centers, single-tenant net-leased pads, office, flex, small industrial, medical office and mixed-use in and around Paradise Valley — run as its own practice, because Arizona regulates nonresidential brokerage differently and commercial accounting has nothing in common with collecting a single rent check.

Lease abstraction and critical dates, CAM budgeting and annual reconciliation, transaction privilege tax, and the designated broker’s signature on every file — as A.R.S. § 32-2175 requires.

What You Get

What We Actually Do.

Whether the residence is leased, vacant, or occupied seasonally, the work is the same: someone competent watching it, every week.

Discreet Tenant Placement

Quiet marketing to the right audience, thorough vetting, and financial verification appropriate to the rent level. Placement matters more when the asset is worth several million.

Vendor Supervision

Pool, landscape, pest, HVAC, and specialty trades scheduled, supervised, and let in by someone accountable. Vendors bill at their real rate and routine invoices pass through at cost.

Vacant & Seasonal Watch

Regular interior and exterior checks, systems run, irrigation verified, and the residence made ready before you land. Empty houses fail quietly; someone should be looking.

Preventive Care

Scheduled service on the systems that cost the most to replace — HVAC, pool equipment, water features, and irrigation across large landscape.

Accounting & Compliance

Monthly statements with full reconciliation, trust accounting under ADRE oversight, and clean year-end reporting. Licensed brokerage, GL and E&O insured.

Privacy

No client names, no addresses, no photographs of occupied homes used as marketing. Access is scheduled and supervised, and the people entering are known to us.

What We Manage

Not Every Home Here Is an Estate.

Paradise Valley has estates on acreage, and it also has single-family homes on the town’s acre lots, patio homes and resort-area residences on smaller ones. We manage all of it, and the level of service does not drop because the property is not a compound.

Single-Family Homes

Three- and four-bedroom homes on the town’s acre lots and in the smaller-lot communities, managed exactly the way the larger properties are.

Luxury Residences

Architectural and custom homes, patio homes, and villas in the guard-gated communities along the Camelback corridor and Clearwater Hills.

Estates & Compounds

Acreage properties with guest houses, staff quarters, tennis courts, and grounds that need a real maintenance program rather than a landscaper.

Seasonal & Vacant

Residences occupied part of the year. Watched, serviced, systems run, and made ready before you land.

Furnished Tenancies

Executive and seasonal leases with documented inventory, photographed at move-in and move-out, and lease language covering furnishings and art.

Investment Holdings

Owners holding Paradise Valley property for the land and the appreciation, with leasing carrying the cost of holding it.

What Paradise Valley Owners Should Know

Know the Local Rules.

The details that catch owners out in Paradise Valley, and how we handle each one.

Short-term rentals need a Town permit

Town Code Article 10-14, updated in October 2022 under state law, requires a Town short-term rental permit, an Arizona transaction privilege tax license, a contact who will respond on site within one hour when police or first responders call, a background check on every guest within 24 hours of booking to keep registered sex offenders out, and a landline or equivalent on every floor. Special events and event-center use are prohibited, and the Town can fine up to $3,500 or three nights’ rent and suspend a permit. We set it up and keep it current for the owners we manage.

A guest house cannot be leased on its own

Most of the town is zoned R-43, one home per 43,560-square-foot lot. Under the Town Zoning Ordinance an accessory building, including a guest house, may not be leased separately from the main house, so the property is leased as a whole. We write the lease to match.

Tax and county registration

A short-term rental needs a transaction privilege tax license, and residential rentals must be registered with the Maricopa County Assessor under A.R.S. § 33-1902. Since January 1, 2025, Arizona cities and towns can no longer tax residential leases of 30 days or more.

Gates, associations and hillsides

Clearwater Hills is guard-gated, and many neighborhoods sit inside an association with its own rules on leasing, guests and construction hours. Arizona law (A.R.S. § 33-1806.01) lets an association require tenant information from the owner. Hillside homes add retaining walls, drainage and long driveways that need attention before monsoon season.

Summer is the hard season

Phoenix-area July highs average about 106 degrees. A vacant estate needs the air conditioning set, pool and water features kept, irrigation checked across large landscape and the house walked after storms. That work is done by licensed contractors and vendors, and we coordinate and supervise it for the owners we manage.

Close to everything that matters

Sky Harbor International Airport, Old Town Scottsdale and the Biltmore area are a short drive, and Scottsdale Airport handles private and charter flights, which suits owners who split their time with California or out of state.

For Owners Who Live Elsewhere

Your Eyes and Ears in Paradise Valley.

Many Paradise Valley owners spend only part of the year here, or live in California or out of state. We act as your eyes and ears on the property without you having to be there, coordinated and supervised by us and performed by vetted, insured providers at their real cost.

Home Watch

Scheduled interior and exterior checks between tenants or while you are away: systems run, irrigation verified, and the home made ready before you arrive.

Vendor & Project Oversight

Renovation, landscape and repair work watched on your behalf, with access controlled and progress documented in photos.

Arrival & Departure

For second-home owners: heat or cooling set, systems checked, grounds at standard and deliveries received before you land.

Owner Questions

Straight Answers.

What does managing a Paradise Valley property actually involve?
Considerably more than collecting rent. These are high-value residences on large lots with pools, extensive landscape, guest houses, wine rooms, water features, and building systems that need genuine oversight. Whether the home is leased or sitting between owners, someone competent has to be watching it every week.
Do you manage homes that are not rented at all?
Yes. Seasonal and second-home owners need the property watched, maintained and ready on arrival. It is estate management rather than rental management, and it is quoted by property and visit schedule.
What does it cost?
Estates are quoted individually, in writing, once we have seen the property and agreed the scope of the work. Standard residential management is one all-inclusive rate, quoted per property, with no setup, inspection or marketing fees and no markup on routine maintenance.
Who rents in Paradise Valley?
Households relocating for work, owners building or renovating nearby who need a home for a season or a year, and people who want to live in the town before they buy. Lease terms are often built around specific arrival and departure dates. Every applicant is screened to the same written standard, and for cash and entity applicants we verify funds and source.
How do you handle privacy?
Carefully. We do not publish client names, addresses, or photographs of occupied homes as marketing. Tenant vetting is thorough but discreet, vendor access is scheduled and supervised, and staff who enter the property are known to us. Discretion is a service requirement here, not a courtesy.
Do you handle short-term or vacation rentals in Paradise Valley?
Rarely, and we will tell you honestly when it is a poor fit. Town Code Article 10-14 requires a Town permit, a transaction privilege tax license, a contact who responds on site within one hour when police call, a background check on every guest and a landline on every floor, and it prohibits special events. Many associations go further. A season-length furnished lease usually produces better economics with far less risk, and we will model both.
Can I lease my guest house separately?
No. Under the Town of Paradise Valley Zoning Ordinance an accessory building, including a guest house, may not be leased apart from the main house, so the property is leased as a whole. We price and write the lease on that basis, and we will tell you before you list if a plan depends on renting part of the property.
I live in California or out of state. Can you manage my Paradise Valley home remotely?
That is most of what we do. You get one broker as your point of contact, an online owner portal, monthly statements with every invoice attached, and photo inspections after every visit, so you can see the property without flying in.

At this level the maintenance spend dwarfs the management fee, which is exactly why a percentage markup on vendor invoices is the expensive part. We do not take one on routine work.
