Meet Jarl Kubat — Arizona 55+ Community Specialist
Jarl Kubat is a real, licensed local agent — not a lead-selling website. Here’s who I am, how I got here, and how I’ll help with your retirement move.
I’m Jarl Kubat, and I’ve spent more than 22 years helping buyers and sellers find the right home in Arizona’s 55+ and retirement communities — from the West Valley Sun Cities to the East Valley golf communities and the towns beyond. I’m also a neighbor: I live in Arizona Traditions in Surprise.
Midwest roots, Arizona expertise
I was born and raised in the Midwest. Later, my wife Mary and I moved our family to Arizona in 2004. Before I ever held a real estate license, I worked with my hands — as an electrician, a house painter, and a certified arborist running our family business, Kubat’s Tree Service, in southern Minnesota from 1987 to 2004.
In fact, that background matters more than it might sound. Years in the trades taught me hard work and straight talk, and they gave me an eye for how a home is actually built and cared for. So when we walk a property together, I’m not just looking at finishes — I’m reading the roof, the systems, the bones, and the things a brochure won’t tell you.
The Arizona retirement communities I focus on
My whole business is Arizona’s 55+ and active adult communities, across the entire Valley. That means the resort-style, golf, gated, and patio-home communities most buyers are choosing between — PebbleCreek and CantaMia in Goodyear, Victory at Verrado and Sun City Festival in Buckeye, Arizona Traditions, Heritage at Asante, Sun Village, The Grand and Sterling Grove in Surprise, Trilogy at Vistancia, Westbrook Village and Ventana Lakes in Peoria, Sun City and Sun City West, and dozens more through Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Scottsdale, Sun Lakes, and the East Valley.
However, most buyers arrive with one community in mind and no idea how many others might fit them better. As a result, knowing them all — the fees, the age rules, the amenities, the trade-offs — is exactly what I do. You can see the full list on our areas we serve page.
How Jarl Kubat works with you
I’ve built this business one referral at a time, because when someone trusts you to help them find their next chapter, sending a friend is the highest compliment there is. Of course, that only happens one way: by telling people the truth, even when it isn’t what they hoped to hear.
So I’ll give you the honest version of every community and every home — what’s great about it, and what you’d be living with. Also, I represent you from the first phone call through closing day and beyond, whether you’re buying a low-maintenance patio home, a golf retreat, or a lock-and-leave place you can travel from with peace of mind.
Finally, I’m licensed through West USA Realty, one of Arizona’s largest locally owned brokerages.
Coming to town to look? You ride with me and I drive — my gas, not yours. We’ll loop through the communities you’re weighing, walk the clubhouses, and cross off the ones that aren’t right so you can focus on the ones that are.
In fact, a lot of my buyers are out of state and buy before they ever set foot in the home, because I show them the honest version on video first. Wherever you’re starting from, we’ll make it work.
