Board of Directors 2022

Born in Richmond Hill, Queens, I moved to the desert in 1971 when my folks decided a dry climate would be better for the health of their asthmatic young boy.  After learning to drive, I really began to cultivate my penchant for working on cars and building hot rods.   I met my one and only wife, Linda, in 2000 and made her marry me in 2002.  We have two 4-legged children.  After utilizing my talents with a hammer and saw doing fix-n-flips for a year, 2002 was also the start of my real estate carrier. It also lead me to the Chandler Chamber of Commerce, where I have been a member since 2006 and an ambassador since 2007.  I joined the board of directors in 2013 and have been the chair of the Ostrich Festival going on 7 years. All of my work with the Chamber has afforded me the opportunity to give back to a community that has given me so much, not only in terms of growing my real estate business, but in personal growth, as well.

Growing up in Ahwatukee, both her parents were in the local real estate industry which set the groundwork for her entrance into a mortgage career. Achieving homeownership at 23, Delaney learned the value of the “American Dream.” Delaney is most fulfilled in her career when giving other first-time homebuyers the education and tools they need in order to experience the same freedoms.
