Even today, Adele Coffman can clearly remember the spring morning in 1979 when she left her childhood home, Casper, Wyoming, and headed south to the Arizona desert. When descending from the mountains of northern Arizona into the area surrounding Phoenix, she was awe-struck by the stark beauty of the desert and the most beautifully brilliant orange/purple sunset she had ever seen. She knew she was looking at the place she would thereafter call home.
Adele feels lucky to have been raised by wonderful parents who encouraged her and her brother to work hard, pursue their dreams and choose a career path doing something they loved. Adele’s outgoing manner naturally led her to a career in sales. For many years she was successful in the communication industry selling pagers, 2-way radios…and in the 1980’s, that new technology called the cellular phone!
In the late 1980’s she got what she calls “a sign” that real estate would be the career path she would follow. Within a 24-hour period, three important people in her life independently told her she should consider getting her real estate license. “It must have been something others saw in me that I did not” she reminisces, “I thought I was happy doing what I was doing”!
Today, Adele, Bill and their very much-loved “canine kids”, Andy and Millie spend as much time as they can in the Arizona outdoors, camping, fishing and exploring. They share a love of Arizona’s awesome weather. Bill’s passion is fishing…all kinds of fishing in every place he can. Annual outings with friends and family include vacationing in Mexico and house boating on beautiful Lake Powell. Adele and Bill also enjoy entertaining…and it is not unusual to find their home the gathering place for casual outdoor swim parties and yummy BBQ’s!
Adele has been able to turn her love of the Phoenix area into a successful career. As one of the Valley of the Sun’s premier real estate professionals, Adele has been helping home buyers and sellers turn their dreams into real life and make the most of their home investment options. Adele is also involved with the Phoenix Association of REALTORS® where she has served as a director for the past 5 years.

I find it exciting to be able to give clients up-to-date information in the most expedient, efficient way possible,” she says. Folks know immediately that Adele has their best interest at heart and really listens to their wants and needs…and then, most importantly, she takes the necessary time to help them achieve their dreams.
