Gloria DeFrancesco is a REALTOR® with eXp Realty serving Arizona’s West Valley and Greater Phoenix area. She works with buyers and sellers at every stage of life, with a focus on relocation, first-time buyers, those making their next move, and the active adult 55+ community.
Gloria believes real estate starts with listening. Every client’s circumstances, priorities, and timeline are different, and her approach is to understand those first. She sees her role as a trusted resource, providing honest information, answering questions, and helping clients understand their options without pressure so they can make well-informed decisions with confidence.
Having called Arizona home since 2010, Gloria has developed a genuine connection to the Valley and the communities she serves. That connection inspired Gloria in the Valley, where through her social media and local content she shares real estate, neighborhoods, local businesses, events, and the lifestyle that makes the Valley home. She also brings her love of community and music together by creating and hosting local events designed to bring people together and build connections within the community.
Before real estate, Gloria spent more than a decade in the music industry managing international tours, marketing, contracts, and business operations. Her experience working in a fast-paced international environment sharpened her ability to communicate clearly, negotiate effectively, manage countless moving pieces, and stay focused when important decisions need to be made. Those are the same skills she now brings to her clients throughout a real estate transaction.
For Gloria, real estate is about building relationships, not simply completing transactions. Whether a client is ready to make a move today or considering what that move might look like a year or two from now, she believes there is value in starting the conversation early. Sometimes that means buying or selling now; other times, it means understanding the market, exploring options, and putting a plan in place for the future.
Throughout that process, Gloria provides the knowledge, guidance, communication, and support her clients need to understand their options and make decisions that are right for them, while remaining a trusted real estate resource they can turn to long after the transaction is complete.
