OUR PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE We are your source for professional real estate services in Cave Creek, Carefree & North Scottsdale. With great experience as Cave Creek Realtors and servicing all areas in northern Maricopa County, the Fulton-Rizzo Team will help buyers and sellers meet their real estate objectives. We have extensive knowledge of the Cave Creek, Carefree & North Scottsdale communities and will work tirelessly on your behalf to make your next home buying or home selling experience a pleasant and successful one. Nothing satisfies us more than seeing the smiles of a successful real estate transaction. The Fulton-Rizzo HUNT Distinctive Properties’ office is located at the Rancho Manana Resort in the former historic dude ranch cook’s house. This is a huge benefit to sellers who use the Fulton-Rizzo team. As MariaElena reveals, “Every day we have people from all over the country coming to the Rancho Manana Golf Course or Tonto Bar & Grill. They’re coming in from out of town, fall in love with the area, and stop in our office to see what’s available for sale. That’s not only an incredible advantage to our clients who are selling, but it’s so convenient for people who wish to move here.” The Fulton-Rizzo team evenly represents buyers and sellers in residential and commercial transactions, everything from condos to million-dollar homes. You’ll get a thorough, professional, and accurate representation no matter your budget.
About MariaElena Rizzo Hailing from the Hudson Valley area of upstate New York, MariaElena has two children and lives in Cave Creek. “I love being next to the mountain, next to the natural beauty. This is such a tight-knit, real community. We both have so many personal relationships with fellow business owners in the area. We have such an eclectic group of people who mingle well because we all love it up here,” MariaElena said.
About Tom Fulton Tom grew up in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He was involved in real estate development, and his family owns Rancho Manana! In addition to being Augie’s fur daddy, he is married to Noel. The couple shares eight children. Tom has lived in both Cave Creek and Carefree, and he would be happy to recommend either quaint town. He’s got a reputation for being an incredible negotiator, so clients know they will be getting the most equitable deal when they pick Tom to represent them.

SATISFIED CUSTOMERS Charles W ”The Fulton Rizzo Team is amazing. They worked with us for an extended period of time to understand the area and availability of homes while our home (out of the area) was for sale. When it finally sold we were able to move quickly and with confidence to buy the right home for us thanks to MariaElena and Tom."
C Schneider ”MariaElena was recommended to me by a mutual acquaintance. While we never met personally as I was living out-of-state, she was very responsive to my needs and worked diligently to sell my home. I would highly recommend her.”
George M "I have been completely fed up with brokers who are amateurs and do not know about what they are showing and selling. MariaElena was both exceptionally professional and perfectly helpful. She understood what I was looking for and, then, sorted my choice with the seller with great skill so that both sides were happy with the transaction. She also followed up once I had moved in to ensure all was in order and I was happy with the new place. A real professional and a pleasure to work with to best results."
L Pucell ”We met MariaElena at an open house while visiting Arizona as we started a search for a winter home. She showed great patience and flexibility as we would plan vacations over a year and a half while honing our search for just the right location. When we arrived she was always well prepared with data and information about different neighborhoods that would meet our qualifications. When we found just the right one. Tom joined in and helped as we went through the purchase process from out of state. They were both fabulous and communicated over different forms of available sources. They both even went to a condo and video chatted a viewing for us. We had a wonderful experience with the Fulton Rizzo team and would highly recommend them.."
