Aaron Dutcher

Aaron’s career in real estate started at the beginning of Y2K. He was reunited with a hometown buddy who convinced him that people actually did rent houses; a career in investment real estate was born. Since then, his career has morphed with each market. He has encountered every aspect of real estate, from residential to luxury, single-family to multi-family, and raw land to class-A commercial office. Aaron always approaches each enterprise with his grassroots mentality and is constantly focused on real estate investing. In supervising everything from VA assumptions to development, Aaron excels at out-of-the-box thinking and transactions that require a more hands-on approach and ingenuity. As an Associate Broker and Executive Director, along with other skilled and ambitious people, he managed a real estate portfolio in excess of 500M and purchased/sold over 4000 properties during his administration. As a natural progression, his first commercial real estate deal was in 2004, and he hasn’t stopped since. Never being one to let the market determine his outcome, Aaron is certainly not scared to reinvent his model to shift with the ebb and flow of the market. As foreclosures entered the marketplace, Aaron was able to lead the charge with his company at the courthouse steps to purchase thousands of properties, not only for individual investors but also for large institutional and REIT buyers. He then shifted into fix-and-flips alongside wholesale properties during the Great Recession.

Aaron became a broker in 2006 and has been a branch manager, managing broker, and designated broker. From 2010 to 2015, along with his partner, he ran and operated his boutique brokerage. He was slowing down the pace, reducing the clientele, and building multiple businesses. Aaron has owned and sold a number of his own businesses, subsequently giving him a knack for working with local and regional business owners to purchase and sell their own businesses as well as purchase and lease their commercial real estate.

As of 2023, Aaron has now put more than 1.124 billion in sales and leasing transactions under his belt. Currently, he is the Owner and Director of MHG Commercial, leading a crew of more than 15 commercial brokers. He was recently recognized as the “Commercial Broker of the Year“ for 2022 by the AZ School of Real Estate and Business and also one of the “Top 150 Commercial Real Estate Influencers” on Instagram by SIOR. He and his team were featured as one of the “Top Commercial Real Estate Producers of 2022” by AZ Big Media, and they were featured in many other articles and podcasts. Aaron has noticed the advantages and opportunities of working with his grassroots, causing a disruption in the market. He continues capitalizing on the moment to bring commercial real estate into the 21st century by utilizing client relations, social media, open and transparent marketing coupled with technology and simple thinking processes.

Aaron has the benefit of being involved in every type of commercial transaction. This is because of his vast experience and knowledge over the last 22 years. In any given year, Aaron will complete sales and lease transactions on both sides of the table in just about every subcategory of commercial real estate: Office, Industrial, Flex, Retail, Multi-family, Land, Medical, Mixed-Use, Development, Business, and even the occasional residential deal for friends and family.

Aaron is a 5th generation Arizona native and honors his heritage in that great state. Among his many talents, he is Mr. Fix-it, a pilot, a published author, savvy, not afraid of public speaking, revels in fitness challenges, skiing, surfing, roping, cowboy hat Friday, motorsports, and travel adventures. Most of all, he loves his family and trips to their cabin. His greatest joy in life is residing in Gilbert with his wife Randa, his 5 children, 2 dogs, 3 horses, and 31 chickens.
