Rainey Highley

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, integrity 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.

Rainey brought that same vision and passion to Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty in early 2024, joining forces with industry veteran Jacque Weems to build JR Sedona Luxury Properties--one of Sedona's premier luxury real estate teams. Quickly recognized among Sedona's Top 20 Real Estate Agents, Rainey established herself as one of the region's rising leaders in luxury real estate. She earned Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty's prestigious Chairman's Board recognition for her outstanding 2025 performance and was honored to serve as President of the Sedona Luxury Real Estate Professionals (SLREP) from 2025-2026. In 2026, Rainey and Jacque were recognized by RealTrends as one of the Top Small Real Estate Teams in both Arizona and the United States, reflecting their commitment to exceptional client service and outstanding results.

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.
