Scottsdale Luxury Home Tour RMS meetings are the 3rd Thursday of each month at Ancala Country Club
No pre-registration is required to attend. Attendance at an RMS (REALTOR® Marketing Session) is a great way to network, hear from great speakers, and learn about the market. If you’d like to be reminded about the Desert Ridge RMS meetings, sign up for our e-mails. If you have any questions, contact one of our volunteers on the “Contacts” tab below.
NOTE Affiliate/industry partners must be paid SAAR Affiliate members to attend.

- Listings must be active in the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service (ARMLS)

- No home may be featured more than once per year
- No substitutions are permitted for scheduled homes
- If the listing agent cancels the home from Tour less than 6 days before the tour for any reason other than the sale of the home or an emergency on part of the seller, they will not be considered for tour for the next three consecutive meetings
- Homes are expected to be available to host the lunch provided by the tour’s sponsors at the last home on tour. If a home is vacant or otherwise unavailable for lunch, please inform the Tour Director when submitting a request
- At the lunch, the “Best Home on Tour” is named. To be eligible for that recognition and to receive the written feedback from the tour, the listing agent must be in attendance
- The tour fee is $40.00 (check payable to the Scottsdale Area Association of REALTORS®) payable at the meeting (NO ADMISSION FEE when you have a home on tour). There is also an opportunity to highlight one of your listings on the cover of the tour packet with a large color photo and your contact information for an additional $60.00 (if you have your home on tour and on the packet in the same month then the total is $100) . If you are interested please let the tour director know.
TOUR “REQUEST” PROCEDURES:
- You must complete the online tour request form.
- Tour requests must be submitted directly by the listing agent.
- Ordinarily, tour requests will be acknowledged within 48 hours via e-mail. Qualifying listings will be tentatively scheduled at that time for a specific date.
- If space is not available on the date requested, the home will be scheduled for the next available tour unless otherwise requested by the listing agent.
- Agents are responsible for immediately notifying the Tour Director of any change in the listings’ status (e.g. to “Pending, Cancelled or Expired”).
- A week before each tour, the homes that have been scheduled for the upcoming tour will be confirmed.
- The tentative “order” of homes on tour will be e-mailed to the listing agent(s)…usually on the Monday before the tour.
