Mike Stone Group

Mike Stone Group is an Arizona real estate and investment advisory team specializing in luxury short-term rental properties. Serving Scottsdale, Sedona, Phoenix, Paradise Valley, and Flagstaff, the group helps investors identify and acquire homes suited to vacation-rental use. Its approach combines investment-focused real estate guidance with analysis of short-term rental revenue, comparable sales, renovation costs, and potential after-renovation value, helping clients assess opportunities against their budgets and goals.

Services span the investment process, from developing an acquisition strategy and finding a property to negotiating a purchase, planning renovations, managing projects, designing the rental, and preparing it for launch. The team also offers short-term rental co-hosting support and guidance on hospitality operations. Mike Stone brings market and investment-property expertise, while Ava Kate Speas contributes design, marketing, and operational skills. Together, they aim to help clients make informed decisions about cash flow, property improvements, and tax considerations. Mike Stone Group presents itself as an alternative to traditional real estate representation, with a focus on data-informed decisions for luxury Airbnb and other short- and mid-term rental investments.
