Steve Schultz
President and Designated Broker
Steve graduated from New Mexico State University with a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. After working for Shell Oil Company and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, he decided he wanted to take on the challenge of building a company from scratch. He began by building his own portfolio of residential rental properties. As he built his rental portfolio, he also wanted to create a property management company that would maximize the interests of the property owner. This is how Blue Fox Properties was born.
From the onset, Steve has been dedicated to learning from property managers around the city, state and country. So upon founding Blue Fox, he immediately discovered the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM®). Through NARPM®, he has captured best practices and applied them to Blue Fox to protect and promote the interests of the clients his company serves. Blue Fox Properties is one of less than 50 companies across the country that has earned the coveted Certified Residential Management Company (CRMC®) designation from NARPM®.
Steve is 1 of only 2 people in Southern Arizona to hold the Master Property Manager (MPM®) designation, the highest individual designation from NARPM®. (By the way, the other one is Sylvia, who is also on our team!) In addition, he was selected by his peers to serve as the 2017 National President of NARPM®. He is 1 of only 3 Arizona Department of Real Estate certified instructors from Tucson that teaches residential property management continuing education courses. He is a national speaker, author and instructor.
Steve is one of the hardest working people we all know here at Blue Fox, aside from his obvious passion for the company and the tireless spreadsheets and memos, he truly cares for each and every employee. He values us, our time and our diligence. He celebrates the employees by recognizing our achievements and even our defeats. One of the most important tasks that he is passionate about are the weekly staff meetings that happen without fail, and will continue to happen until the end of time, or until his end of time, whichever comes first.

Amanda Wells
Amanda grew up in the Air Force, and enjoyed the experience of living in many different places, meeting so many new people and learning to become adaptable. Tucson has always been home base, so after spending several years in Denver, Colorado, Amanda decided to return home to the Old Pueblo to raise her two sons. Amanda loves to be involved in the community and is passionate about volunteering for the Ronald McDonald House. When she’s not working, she enjoys spending time outdoors, playing volleyball, trying out all of the amazing restaurants and shops that Tucson has to offer, and exercising. But most importantly of all, she enjoys creating new memories with her two boys.
Dave Mayberry
Dave worked with a local real estate company while earning his broker’s license so that he could own and operate his own real estate firm. Dave went on to do just that, but he later decided he enjoyed not being the boss more than he enjoyed being the boss. Through contact with some of our Blue Fox team members, Dave learned about the growth that Blue Fox was experiencing and decided that he wanted to be a part of that success, and the rest is history.
On his downtime, Dave loves spending time with his two daughters, watching sprint car races and playing racquet ball.
