Deep roots. Local knowledge.
Real results.
The Home Shop is a locally-owned, independent Arizona brokerage serving the whole Valley — the communities we call home, across the entire Phoenix metro area.
We're your local experts.
The Home Shop helps buyers, sellers, and investors across the entire Valley. Our agents live in the communities they serve — which means the guidance you get is grounded in real, street-level knowledge, not just market reports.
Helping our clients build generational wealth — one home at a time.
Pretty simple, when you think about it.
Honesty first
Straight answers about pricing, condition, and strategy — even when it's not what you were hoping to hear.
Local to the core
We live where we work. Valley neighborhoods, builders, and market rhythms are our everyday reality, not research.
Communication that shows up
Questions answered quickly and honestly, at every stage — you'll never wonder where your transaction stands.
Community over competition
We share knowledge, celebrate each other's wins, and believe a strong team makes every client better served.
Excellence in the details
Contracts, negotiations, timelines — the unglamorous work done right is what protects your biggest investment.
Balance worth protecting
We built this brokerage so the people in it can be present for their lives — and that steadiness shows up in how we work.
Ellie Urquidez
Ellie Urquidez is the Designated Broker and Owner of The Home Shop Real Estate, a Queen Creek–based brokerage serving buyers and sellers across the entire Phoenix Valley. She leads with two kinds of experience: the day-to-day knowledge of an agent who still works with clients, and the oversight of a broker responsible for the standards, compliance, and growth of a full brokerage.
Ellie started The Home Shop as a real estate team and built it for three years under local boutique brokerages. In that time she learned what agents need to do well and what clients deserve from the people representing them. In April 2026 she launched The Home Shop Real Estate as an independent brokerage. Today, every transaction benefits from her broker-level view of contracts, negotiation, and risk.
Her own specialty is the East Valley. Her clients get that local insight along with the support of a brokerage that serves the whole Valley.
A UK native, Ellie came to real estate for independence and more time with the people she loves. That purpose shapes The Home Shop's mission and shapes how she serves clients. She sees a home not just as a place to live, but as one of the most important steps a family can take toward its future.
Whether you're buying your first home, selling in Queen Creek, or looking for a brokerage that invests in its agents, Ellie brings the insight of an experienced agent and the accountability of a broker who owns the outcome.

Lindsay and Michael Picone are a husband-and-wife team based in Queen Creek, serving the greater Phoenix area. In just three years, they have doubled their production year over year, with over $31M in total sales since 2023. They’re proud of that growth, but what they’re prouder of is how it happened: through referrals, repeat clients, and people who felt like they were in good hands.
Lindsay and Michael got into real estate because they genuinely love helping people through big decisions. As avid CrossFitters and coaches of the sport, they are accustomed to helping people do hard things. That means being honest with clients even when it’s not what they hoped to hear, knowing the market well enough to give real guidance, and staying by their clients’ side from first conversation to closing day.
They cover the greater Phoenix area with a deep focus on the East Valley, the community they call home. They know these neighborhoods personally, not just professionally.
The Picones run a small team by design. When you work with them, you work with them directly. No handoffs, no assistants fielding your questions. Just two people who genuinely care about getting it right for you.
