Brad Kimmelman

Raised in Westchester County, New York, It was clear that I was entrepreneurial and driven from the start! As a child, I turned my love of music and theater into a business. I studied acting with a coach in Manhattan at the age of 10 and by 12 I went out and got myself an agent. I booked the first national commercial I auditioned for and a featured role in a movie by 16. One of my first jobs was delivering singing telegrams for a company in Scarsdale, NY. Creativity is in my blood, as I was born into a show business family.

My father is a successful animation director & cartoonist who was one of the creators of “Schoolhouse Rock!”. My mother was a high fashion photographer back in the 1950's for the #1 modeling agency in NYC, Harry Conover Modeling.

I went to Boston University majoring in Film, paying my way through as a singing waiter on the “Spirit of Boston”, a dinner yacht in Boston Harbor. After graduation I became a broadcast producer at Grey Advertising on Madison Avenue in New York City & started my own record company, “Zuma Records”.

After many years in advertising, I craved to do something more meaningful and moved to Connecticut to start selling real estate. Within two years I became a top producing agent at the #1 boutique brokerage in town from 2001-2009. In 2009 I was recruited by Sotheby’s International Realty as a brokerage manager in Southport CT and then, Scarsdale NY which I enjoyed for ten years. After training, mentoring and coaching hundreds of real estate agents, I decided to go back into sales for myself and moved permanently to my second home in Scottsdale, AZ and joined Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty. It was the best decision I have ever made!

My fast success in the Valley of the Sun is largely due to my 13 years with the Sotheby's brand and the strong relationships I have built here. I quickly became a 'go to broker' within the Sotheby’s network for referral business from other colleagues, clients and friends. I am happily married with a rescue Dalmatian/Pointer mix named Charlie. In the unlikely event I am not working diligently for my clients, I enjoy tennis, hiking, cooking and traveling. I still sing in the shower, much to the dismay of my family. To get to know me better, please visit www.bradkimmelman.com where you can see my video bio.
