  Spencer Caldwell

  Owner

  At the age of 19, Spencer Caldwell accepted a 2-year mission calling for his church, serving the people of Mississippi and Louisiana. During this journey, he learned that he loved working with people. After completing his mission, Spencer was on his way to a career in dentistry when his attention was diverted to the immediate opportunities and limitless potential of real estate in his home state of Arizona. He took a break from dental school during his fourth year at Arizona State University to observe successful real estate mentors across the U.S., and never looked back. Within a year, Spencer purchased 10 investment homes and launched a profitable career, buying and selling investment properties at auction. He’d found his passion. In 2007, Spencer and his business partner Jacob Ash founded Gentry Real Estate Group and Gentry BuyLowAZ, a trustee auction bidding service, both headquartered in Mesa. Helping thousands of real estate investors and first-time homebuyers purchase investment properties, the pair sold more than $1 billion in real estate holdings. Not bad for a kid from Snowflake, Arizona—named after Spencer’s third great-grandpa—where he grew up on his family’s pig farm. Spencer’s passion for real estate is at the heart of his success. Today, Gentry Real Estate Group and its BuyLowAZteam subsidiary offers Trustee auction bidding services, and specialize in new and residential home sales, house fixing and flipping opportunities, resales, land and lots, investors, and relocations. Spencer and his wife Alisa Wares have four children—Ethan (15), Ellee (12), Weston (9), and Wyatt (6). His real estate career allows Spencer the flexibility to spend time with his family—at least some weekends!

  Andrew McLellan

  Designated Broker

  Andrew has spent a lifetime watching the Valley grow into the major metropolitan area it is today. Growing up, he accompanied his father, an electrical and general contractor, on job sites and participated in many areas of construction. As an adult, he gravitated to real estate as his chosen career path, winning awards for customer service and production. He spent the first six years in property management, and five years working as a sales rep for Valley home builders. His expertise includes file auditing, recruiting, training, education, and development of real estate agents. Andrew’s experiences with manager and broker mentors had an impact, which he credits for his decision to pursue a real estate broker’s license in 2000. He formed a real estate company which he later sold, taking advantage of a great opportunity to join Gentry Real Estate Group as the company’s Designated and Managing Broker. Andrew shares Gentry’s vision of what a real estate company should be, and provides valuable insight on how the company can serve the needs of agents better than traditional organizations. He maintains that professionals who think of themselves first will have no clients; while those who put their clients first will find that their own needs will be met.
