About Me
Looking for the best path to your real estate dreams?
You’re in the right place! I’m Landon Maxfield, ‘Your Utah Real Estate and Homes Pro’ bringing dedication and experience to all of your Utah Real Estate needs.
Whether buying, selling, or investing, my 36+ years of industry background and professional experience ensure that you’re getting a skillful and competent fiduciary.
Bottom line…I help my clients fulfill their real estate dreams and grow their wealth to better sustain and secure their financial future!
How am I able to do that? It all started with my exposure and inspiration to the real estate profession as a young child with parents in the real estate industry. Along with experiencing the many life-long relationships that my parents developed, they were involved with and exposed me to all aspects of real estate (residential/commercial transactions, land development, new construction, property management, financing strategies, and brokerage ownership).
At a very young age, I came to realize that owning real estate brought an essential wealth building foundation to families. This foundation comes in the form of these 5 principles:
#1- Housing Is Typically the One Best Leveraged Investments Available.
For example, if you purchase a $500,000 home, put down $50,000 (10%) and your house appreciates $50,000, this is not only a 10% increase in value but a 100% increase in equity.
#2- You’re Paying for Housing Whether You Own or Rent.
When renting, you have no control over rent increases. When you own your home and pay on a fixed mortgage, your principle and interest payment remain the same over the life of the loan until you own the home free and clear.
#3- Owning Is Usually a Form of “Forced Savings”.
Studies have shown that homeowners have a net worth 44 TIMES GREATER than that of a renter. As a matter of fact, over a 5 year period from Q2 2018 through Q2 2023, the median home value in Utah increased from $300,000 to $490,000 [a $190,000 (63%) increase in value for an average $38,000 annual increase in value].
#4- Owning Is a Hedge Against Inflation.
As we have all witnessed over the recent past, home values and rents tend to go up at or higher than the rate of inflation. When you purchase a home, your home’s value will protect you from that inflation.
#5- There are still Substantial Tax Benefits to Owning.
Owning a home has always been and will always be better than renting in the long term.
Having this knowledge has provided me with a unique perspective on the enduring benefits of real estate ownership and how real estate has evolved throughout my life.
When you work with me, you not only get my personal attention but you also get the expertise of a decades long, award-winning team of professionals (the Maxfield and Associates Team) at the #1 Brokerage in Northern Utah, Coldwell Banker Realty!
I’m on a mission to educate and help others learn about the importance of homeownership and how real estate ownership helps to build one’s wealth over a lifetime.
In addition to being an active member of the National Association of Realtors, Utah Association of Realtors, Northern Wasatch Association of Realtors, and the Park City Board of Realtors, I’m proud to be an active contributor to the American Cancer Society and Huntsman Cancer Institute here in Utah.
As an enduring cancer survivor, I’m committed to supporting the continued research on curing all forms of cancer by giving to these organizations!
Outside of real estate, I’m a husband, father and grandfather that loves to spend time with family/friends, travel the world, explore cultural histories, and spend time outdoors.
