The Holm Group vs. Sibbach Team: Scottsdale Realtor Comparison
Discover key differences in The Holm Group vs. Sibbach Team: Scottsdale Realtor Comparison, focusing on marketing and seller strategies.

If you are selling a home in Scottsdale, you will likely hear from teams of very different sizes. Some are large, high-volume operations with dozens of agents. Others are smaller groups where the lead agent stays close to every listing. Neither model is automatically better. What matters is which one fits your home and how you want to be served.
Two established Scottsdale names sellers often compare are The Holm Group, led by Andrew Holm, and the Sibbach Team, led by Jeff Sibbach at eXp Realty. Here is a fair look at how they differ.

Two Very Different Business Models
The Sibbach Team is one of the highest-volume teams in Arizona. RealTrends reports 256 transaction sides and $158.6 million in 2025 volume, ranking the team #2 in Scottsdale by both volume and sides. Zillow shows 6,344 total sales and more than 1,500 five-star reviews. That is a serious track record, and sellers should give it full credit.
The Holm Group is built differently. It is a smaller team where Andrew Holm, with 26 years in the business, is directly involved in pricing, strategy and negotiation. For some sellers, especially those with a distinctive or higher-priced Scottsdale home, that direct involvement matters more than overall team volume.
Experience Across Market Cycles
Both teams have been around a long time. Andrew’s ARMLS record shows 177 closed transactions as listing, co-listing or selling agent, with closings from 2004 through 2026. That spans the mid-2000s boom, the downturn, the 2020 to 2021 frenzy, the 2022 rate jump and today’s more price-sensitive market.
Pricing a home when buyers compete for it is a different job than pricing one when buyers have choices and ask for concessions. Having done both is what sellers are paying for.
Price Point and Focus
Zillow shows an average sale price of about $600,000 for the Sibbach Team across a very wide range, from starter homes to $5.8 million. Its service area stretches across 21 Valley cities.
The Holm Group’s recent work is concentrated in Scottsdale at higher price points. Recent closings include:
- 34640 N 79th Way, Scottsdale: $2,650,000
- 9035 N 128th St, Scottsdale: $2,145,000
- 7001 E Dreyfus Ave, Scottsdale: $1,960,000
- 6602 E Paradise Dr, Scottsdale: $1,700,000
- 6245 E Nisbet Rd, Scottsdale: $950,000
If you are selling a Scottsdale home above the Valley median, ask any team how many recent listings they have sold in your price band and your part of town.
Online Presence and Search Reach
Both teams invest in content. The Sibbach Team runs a YouTube channel, a blog and community guides for areas like Troon North, DC Ranch and Grayhawk.
The Holm Group’s site goes unusually deep on local search. It includes 814 community and subdivision pages, which you can browse from the Holm Group featured communities directory. Buyers often start with searches like “Grayhawk homes” or “Scottsdale gated communities,” not an address. A large community library puts The Holm Group in front of those buyers early, before they ever see a listing on the MLS.
Preparing for AI Search
More buyers now ask ChatGPT, Google AI results and Perplexity which neighborhoods fit them or which agents know an area. The Holm Group publishes FAQs, structured community pages and AI-readable local content so these tools can understand and cite its information. No agent can guarantee a home appears in an AI answer, but the groundwork matters. We did not find comparable public documentation of an AI-search program from the Sibbach Team.
Reviews: Volume vs. Depth
The Sibbach Team’s 1,513 Zillow reviews at 5.0 are impressive and reflect years of consistent service. Andrew’s profile shows 16 reviews at 5.0, including a seller who had Andrew list and sell four homes and another who bought and later sold the same Scottsdale home with him. Repeat clients are one of the strongest signals a seller can look for, regardless of total count.
What About Days on Market?
We do not use average days on market to name a winner. Team averages blend buyer and seller sides, different price ranges and different market years. A better question for any team:
“Show me your recent listing-side sales of homes like mine, with original list price, price reductions, days on market and final sale price.”
The Holm Group welcomes that comparison. You can also check any team’s independently verified production on RealTrends.

Compare the strategy behind the numbers. Ask The Holm Group to review your home, your competition and the marketing plan that fits it.

The Bottom Line
The Sibbach Team offers scale: high annual volume, a Valley-wide footprint and one of the largest review bases in Arizona. The Holm Group offers 26 years of experience, a Scottsdale-focused record at higher price points, direct lead-agent involvement and one of the deepest community content libraries in the market. The right choice depends on your home, your price point and how hands-on you want your agent to be.
