Rainey Highley specializes in luxury residential real estate and top-rated, award-winning vacation rental properties throughout Sedona and the Verde Valley. Known for her honesty, trustworthiness and relentless dedication, she consistently goes above and beyond—turning every client relationship into a lasting partnership.

Her journey into Sedona real estate began in 2018 with the purchase and transformation of a modest vacation home near Red Rock State Park. What started as an inspired investment soon blossomed into Sedona’s Paradise Found—a sought-after retreat celebrated as a top-rated, award-winning vacation rental and consistently ranked in Airbnb’s top 5% worldwide.

In early 2024, Rainey brought that same vision and passion to Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty, teaming up with industry veteran Jacque Weems to conquer Sedona’s luxury market. Her impact was immediate: named one of Sedona’s Top 20 Real Estate Agents for 2025, she’s quickly made her mark among the region’s best. As President of the Sedona Luxury Real Estate Professionals (SLREP), Rainey is elevating collaboration across brokerages and driving new heights in luxury property sales.

Before real estate, Rainey sharpened her skills as an attorney and executive recruiter—expertise she now channels into crafting seamless, strategic transactions. A breast cancer survivor, author, life coach, and lifelong animal enthusiast, she brings resilience, empathy, and a spirit of exploration to every deal. Whether you’re buying your first luxury home or listing a legacy property, Rainey’s unwavering integrity and joyful energy ensure your journey is as uplifting as Sedona’s red-rock sunsets.

“In my world, the client always comes first. I’m passionate about making the process of buying or selling a home a positive, even joyful, experience. My ultimate goal is absolute client satisfaction—upholding integrity, delivering top-notch service, and maintaining the highest standards of excellence.”
