Coldwell Banker Realty Arizona has named Jonathan Hayward the regional vice president for the Phoenix area.

His offices will include Sedona and Village of Oak Creek, Prescott and Prescott Valley, Biltmore, Scottsdale 101, Sun City Bell and Sun City Surprise, according to a press release.

JJ Swanson, who previously oversaw the entire market, will now focus on the Scottsdale North, Fountain Hills, Havasu, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Carefree and Goodyear/Litchfield offices of Coldwell Banker Realty. Jim Bowman will continue to oversee the Tucson market as district manager.

“Jonathan is an exceptional leader, and now with him joining our leadership team as regional vice president, we will be able to better support our amazing team of agents and managers in the Arizona market,” Chris Jensen, president of the Southwest Region of Coldwell Banker Realty, said in a press release.

A seasoned professional for over 26 years in the real estate industry, Hayward knows the ins and outs of real estate — from his years as a successful agent, broker and manager to his decade-long career immersed in the finance and mortgage sectors.

Among his many noteworthy accolades at Coldwell Banker Realty, he earned the National President’s Council Award recognition for three consecutive years, the President’s Elite Office Recipient of Utah, the President’s Award for 2021, and recognized as the No. 1 District in the company for 2017.

Active in the community, he’s a member of the Salt Lake Board of Realtors, the Northern Wasatch Association of Realtors, the Park City Board of Realtors, the Tooele County Association of Realtors and the Washington County Board of Realtors. In addition, he’s been on the Board of Directors for the Utah Association of Realtors for the past three years.

In the same way he fully supports his agents, he stands with his community by getting involved in local charities, including the Coldwell Banker Realty Cares Foundation, playing an active role in local events and being an enduring supporter of his children’s sports teams, the release stated.
