About SouthWest Land Deals
We’re a family-owned business focused on helping people fulfill their dreams of owning land. My name is Jeff Fassett, the managing member of SouthWest Land Deals. I am a real estate investor and real estate Broker here in Arizona. I love Arizona and have chosen to build my business and raise my family here. My team and I are excited to partner with you to help you find that perfect piece of land in the state that we love.
Education, honesty, and integrity are the cornerstones of Southwest Land Deals, and we have developed a strong reputation in the Arizona real estate and land investment community for our ability to find great investment opportunities for our clients. Over the years, we have spoken in multiple real estate classes aimed to educate both buyers and sellers. Our passion for education can be seen in how our company treats every client with the goal to truly partner with them to give them the knowledge to make solid real estate decisions.
Land is an attractive investment with many compelling exit strategies, making it ideal for just about every investor to have at least some raw land, vacant land, or empty land in their real estate investment portfolio. The Southwest Land Deals team would love to chat with you and show you what we’re all about. Or take a look at the land currently available for sale throughout Arizona and the Southwest.
