Scottsdale, AZ, January 25, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Pat Carleton, Real Estate Agent, Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty, has joined The Expert Network©, an invitation-only service for distinguished professionals. Ms. Carleton has been chosen as a Distinguished Real Estate Professional™ based on peer reviews and ratings, numerous recognitions, and accomplishments achieved throughout her career.

Ms. Carleton outshines others in her field due to her extensive educational background, numerous awards and recognitions, and career longevity. After obtaining her Juris Doctor from Georgetown University in 1976, she flourished as one of the pioneers of the co-op market in D.C. for almost fifteen years. In 1994, Carleton relocated to Arizona and began working for the renowned Russ Lyon Real Estate company where she continues to work as a highly trusted and respected agent to this day.

"I like looking at what the baby boomers are doing. I like to see how costs and location and amenities affect their preferences and desires since I myself am a baby boomer. It's very interesting, especially here in Arizona as there are many who are coming from other areas of the country and retiring, but also wanting to stay active in their communities."

With 42 years of experience in real estate, Carleton brings a wealth of knowledge to her industry, and, in particular, to her area of expertise, providing industry-leading service to buyers and sellers of residential property across the Scottsdale area. When asked why she decided to pursue a career in real estate after going through law school, Carleton said:

"I grew to love everything about real estate—buying and selling it, renovating it, and building it. Being one of two women in a class of eighty-four men in law school toughened me up. I was young, I had a lot of energy and ambition. I also love people and am a workaholic. So, after I converted a couple thousand apartments for others as a lawyer, I realized that I wanted to take a different path—I wanted to do it for myself."

As a thought-leader in her industry, Carleton keeps a close eye on prevailing trends in the Arizona real estate market. In particular, she has been interested in the impact of housing costs on domestic migration patterns, especially as they affect the needs and preferences of "baby boomers", who continue to be attracted to Arizona for retirement and vacation homes. She noted:

"I like looking at what the baby boomers are doing. I like to see how costs and location and amenities affect their preferences and desires since I myself am a baby boomer. It’s very interesting, especially here in Arizona as there are many who are coming from other areas of the country and retiring, but also wanting to stay active in their communities."
