Our People
Samantha Gibson - Founder | Team Leader
I didn't choose this life, this life chose me. I've been in the real estate industry now exceeding 20 years, what started off as a "job" to help me as a single mom to 3 at the age of 21 quickly turned into a career in which I've helped advocate and assist hundreds of people with one of the largest investments of their life. Talk about making a difference in the world!
I'm blessed to call myself Founder and Team Leader of Thrive Haus Real Estate Collective.
Some things that help me be the best Realtor I can for my clients are:
I'm Trauma-Informed Certified, and a mental health advocate because I personally have struggled with depression and anxiety since the age of 9. Home buying and selling can be stressful, that's just the truth- Having the right person to help listen and keep things as streamlined as possible matters.
I'm Bilingual, si hablas Español , yo también. Mi familia es de Mexico.
I'm very well known amongst other peers in the industry and with excellent service partners. This allows me to be of true value not only during the negotiation phase of your transaction but long after.
I don't know how to keep business "just business". You are PERSONAL to me, I live my values out loud without shame or guilt, and have been a Mom and Realtor longer in this life than I haven't. When you work with me, I will advocate and do my absolute best for you with hopes a friendship and client for life is earned with you.

Jason Citro - Realtor | Assistant Executive
What I won't do is pretend to be Phoenician because I am loud and proud Chicago!
I have a true passion and commitment to break silos not only through my advocacy efforts but with the clients I assist with their real estate needs in Arizona.
Buying or selling a house isn't always a smooth process, that's just the facts. One of my biggest strengths is taking my fiduciary duties to heart, which means I represent you not the other side.
Some of the things that help me be the best Realtor I can for my clients are:
Emotional Intelligence- Prior to us working together I'll make sure we're both aligned with goals and purpose of our time together. I believe in mutual partnership.
An eye for equitable value, if you have goals to make your home work for you financially; this is my wheelhouse all day long! I have a sincere passion for design and detail. I love bringing this to the forefront for my clients.
Daily curiosity- I've been in Real Estate a bold 4 years, my desire to stay curious of market trends, technology, housing developments and top quality service partners not only during the transaction but long after allows me to be a great agent and long-term resource to my clients.

Ray Dawood - Realtor
I'm a flight attendant by profession and a Realtor by choice!
What set off to be a hobby, quickly turned into a passion knowing the clients I help are purchasing something that often is considered their safe space.
I've been a Realtor about 8 years now, and helped numerous families buying and selling houses in Arizona.
Some of the things that help me be the best Realtor I can for my clients are:
Patience and understanding- In a world that is often led by rush and time constraints, my schedule allows me to be available when you are so that we focus on finding you the right home.
While I wasn't born in Arizona, I've been here just shy of two decades. I'm well versed with areas throughout the valley, and commit to being transparent and honest about my feedback so you can make the most sound decision along the way. Should you be looking to buy or sell in an area I don't service I have a great group of referral agents I work with.
