Vic Houze

Vic Houze is a seasoned Realtor® based in Scottsdale, Arizona, proudly serving clients through The Houze Group at Compass Real Estate. With a real estate license since 2011 and a mortgage loan originator license since 2004, Vic brings over two decades of experience across real estate, lending, and financial services. Before real estate, he owned a successful Farmers Insurance agency from 2003 to 2008—an experience that sharpened his ability to help clients protect what matters most.

His roots in Scottsdale run deep. Vic grew up working in his family’s iconic restaurant, Los Olivos, where he learned the value of hard work, hospitality, and connection. It was there, bartending in 2002, that he met his wife and now business partner, Michelle Houze—a chance encounter that sparked both a lifelong partnership and a thriving real estate career.

Vic specializes in helping seniors and baby boomers navigate major life transitions—whether that means downsizing, relocating, or selling a longtime family home. As a Senior Real Estate Specialist® (SRES) with additional training in probate real estate, he’s known for his calm, compassionate approach to what is often one of the most emotional decisions a person can make: letting go of a home filled with memories. It’s a space where Vic thrives—bringing empathy, honesty, and a steady hand to the process.

He also serves as a liability advisor, helping clients make smart, strategic decisions when it comes to financing. Whether a conventional mortgage, cash purchase, or reverse mortgage (HECM for Purchase) is the right fit, Vic specializes in discovery—asking the right questions, listening closely, and guiding each client toward the option that serves them best.

Fluent in Spanish and English, Vic takes pride in creating smooth, respectful, and empowering experiences for a diverse range of clients—especially those who value Arizona’s sense of community and quality of life as much as he does.

A lot of agents love to talk. Me? I listen.

I’ve found that the more I listen—really listen—the more I understand what my clients actually want. That’s when things start clicking. I’m not here to sell you anything. I’m here to ask the right questions, listen to your answers, and build a strategy around what matters most to you.

When it comes to negotiating, I stay sharp and steady. Emotions can cloud judgment—and in real estate, that can cost you. I treat every deal like a business decision, because that’s exactly what it is. I’m here to protect your interests, keep things calm, and get the best outcome possible—no drama, no ego.

When he’s not working, Vic is spending time with his wife Michelle, their two dogs Ozzy and Sevi, or soaking in the joy of being new grandparents to their grandson, Romeo, born in January 2025. Mornings begin with coffee and dogs, while weekends often include football with friends at KO’s Sports Bar, golf, and snow sports in the winter. He loves the gym and is an avid reader with a passion for learning across a wide range of topics.

At the core of it all? Honesty. Vic will always tell you the truth—whether it’s good news or tough news. He doesn’t sugarcoat or spin. He tells you what you need to hear, so you can make smart, confident decisions at every step.
