A hospitality standard,
applied to real estate.
Christian Corbett is a luxury real estate advisor with APEX Residential, serving Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Phoenix, and North Scottsdale. He has more than 17 years in the real estate industry.
From fine dining restaurants to the exclusive private community of Talisker Club in Park City, Christian built an extensive career rooted in luxury hospitality and elevated client service. His experience within some of the industry's most discerning environments shaped a service philosophy centered on discretion, attention to detail, and delivering exceptional experiences, qualities that now define his approach to luxury real estate.
Originally from Massachusetts, Christian relocated to Arizona to attend Arizona State University before his career took him to the Bay Area, Lake Tahoe, Park City, and ultimately back to Scottsdale, where he established himself in luxury residential real estate. His diverse background and deep understanding of high end lifestyles allow him to guide clients through Arizona's premier luxury communities with confidence and insight.
What has Christian closed?
99 closed transactions totaling $158.8 million, closing at an average of 98 percent of list price across markets from central Scottsdale to the Paradise Valley estate corridor.
Forty of those closings were at $1,500,000 and above, across Paradise Valley, North Scottsdale, Scottsdale, Phoenix, Cave Creek and Carefree. Source: ARMLS Statistical Market Analysis dated August 17, 2026.
Why does the hospitality background matter?
Because luxury real estate is a service business before it is a sales business. The habits that make a private club work are the same habits that make a nine figure career: anticipate the need, protect the client's privacy, and never let a detail reach them as a problem.
The fast paced nature of luxury real estate, where timing, strategy, and relationships are paramount, has become a driving force behind Christian's success. With his finger constantly on the pulse of the market, he has earned a reputation as a trusted resource for buyers and sellers seeking exceptional representation. Known for his integrity, responsiveness, and unwavering commitment to his clients, he consistently goes above and beyond to deliver outstanding results while creating a seamless, personalized experience from start to finish.
What does Christian do outside of real estate?
He is a devoted father and a committed fitness enthusiast who lives the Arizona outdoor lifestyle he sells.
Whether skiing in Northern Arizona or mountain biking through Brown's Ranch near Troon, Christian enjoys sharing his appreciation for the Valley's active luxury lifestyle with both clients and the community he serves. It is also useful market intelligence. Knowing a trailhead, a club, or a corridor firsthand is the difference between describing a property and understanding it.
Affiliations
Christian holds four luxury market affiliations, and each one does something specific for a listing rather than sitting on a business card.
Who's Who in Luxury Real Estate
A global network of independently vetted luxury brokerages. It extends a listing beyond the local MLS to an international referral audience, which matters when the buyer is as likely to come from another state or country as from the Valley.
Top Agent Network
A private, vetted network limited to the top 10 percent of agents by sales volume in each market. Members share off market listings and buyer needs before properties reach the MLS, which is how a quiet sale finds its buyer and how a buyer sees inventory first.
Million Dollar GUILD, Institute for Luxury Home Marketing
GUILD recognition is awarded to Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialists who have documented experience in million dollar and above residential properties. The Million Dollar GUILD tier reflects performance specifically in that price band.
Luxury Home Tour, Paradise Valley
A Paradise Valley broker tour that puts a listing physically in front of the agents who actually sell in that corridor. In an estate market where the buyer pool for any given property is small, the agents representing those buyers are the audience that counts.
