The REALTOR® who loves Arizona's flood irrigated neighborhoods as much as the people who live in them.
I'm Camille Fairbanks, an Arizona REALTOR® and flood irrigation specialist. I was born and raised right here in Mesa and have lived on flood irrigation for most of my life — so this work isn't a niche I chose off a list, it's the way I grew up. I believe I was put on this earth to help Arizonans understand the value of flood irrigated properties, especially for the people who want to use this precious resource for what it does best: growing food.
That said, I'm a full-service agent, and I love helping clients whether their dream home is flood irrigated or not. I work with first-time buyers, new builds, and historic homes all across the Valley, and I bring the same care and thoroughness to every transaction — a starter condo in Chandler gets the same attention as a half-acre food forest in Arcadia.
"I don't just know how to read a purchase contract — I know how to read a yard."
At my own home in Mesa, I've spent years building an urban food forest with more than 60 fruit trees, all nourished by flood irrigation. That hands-on experience is exactly what I bring to my clients: the water rights, the delivery schedules, the grading, and the growing potential are things most agents never think to check. I'm a GREEN Certified REALTOR®, and I'm currently taking a water management course at ASU, because the better I understand our desert's most precious resource, the better I can guide the families who rely on it.
I've also built an engaged community of flood-irrigation-curious followers on social media, which gives my sellers a way to reach thousands of genuinely interested Arizonans. My biggest pet peeve? Finding the most adorable flood irrigated property on the market — and seeing it isn't even labeled as flood irrigated in the MLS. (My second pet peeve: listings with really bad photos.)
Where I work: Mesa, Tempe, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Waddell, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, and the surrounding Valley.
I have dedicated the better part of a decade to the study of flood irrigation. I believe it is my duty to educate Arizonans on the highest and best use of this most precious resource. I take this stewardship seriously.
I am committed to supporting local causes, businesses, and organizations that make Arizona a place my family can thrive for many generations to come.
When I'm not showing homes, you can find me planting seeds at my community garden plot in Tempe, talking someone's ear off about why flood irrigation is Arizona's best-kept secret, or looking for exciting new ways to get my boys off screens.
I'm the sustainable Arizona REALTOR® you didn't know you needed. Reach out — there's no such thing as a silly question.
