They say a great company’s culture emanates from the top down, and as a co-founder of The Kay-Grant Group, Geoff Lilienfeld has worked hard to help build a team of real estate agents who are passionate about creating a positive and valuable client experience. 

Geoff graduated with a Bachelors of Accountancy from Loyola University in New Orleans. Right out of school he started a granite and marble fabrication and installation company, learning firsthand what it takes to launch and run a business. “I grew up helping out at my mother’s toy stores,” Geoff explains. “She taught me how important it is to make each and every customer’s experience the best it can be.”

He then sold the fabrication business and became a Management Consultant for McGladrey, and then went onto becoming a Partner for RPI Consultants where he specialized in Content & Process management for Commercial, Financial, Healthcare, and Public services. 

In another pivotal moment in his life, Geoff met a similar kindred spirit, his wife and co-founder Andrea, in Kansas City. They eventually discovered the Scottsdale area where they pursued the “snowbird” lifestyle, buying their first condo and working remotely. 

Geoff and Andrea fell in love with the incredible energy of the Scottsdale lifestyle. After buying their first condo, they began purchasing additional investment properties and fell in love with real estate investing. Being so passionate about the real estate process allowed them to become very adept at it and their friends started approaching them for investment advice. This spurned Geoff and Andrea to settle permanently in Scottsdale, and enter real estate full time. Fast forward to today, and the realty group they founded, the Kay-Grant Group, has become one of the local area’s real estate powerhouses.

With Geoff’s IT background and his core philosophy of phenomenal customer service and using cutting edge marketing techniques, even inventing them if necessary, has helped drive the Kay-Grant Group to the successful firm it is today. “Our client’s success is our success,” he says. “Whether you are an investor, a buyer, or just looking to sell your home, knowing how to reach the right people or find the right properties is everything.”
