Mike Reid
Designated Broker & Owner
I have lived in Arizona for over 50 years and began my real estate and property management career in 1988. I became the sole owner of Ultimate Properties in 1994. Together with my wife, Vanessa, we built Ultimate Properties into the thriving family-run company it is today. With over 35 years’ of experience in real estate, I am an expert in rental real estate and sales in the Phoenix-metro area.
When I am not helping families and investors find the right home, I enjoy spending time with my wife and all of our 16 grandchildren. I am a dedicated Phoenix Suns fan and spend the Arizona winters on the golf course. In the summer months, I enjoy traveling with my wife and taking many photos on the way.

Ryan Reid
President & Broker
I am an Arizona-born native, raised in the Valley of the Sun. I am no stranger to real estate; my family has been in property management and real estate for over 35 years. With a natural talent and interests in managing homes, I decided to get involved with the family business. I earned a Bachelor Degree in Property Management from Colorado Technical University and my MBA from University of Phoenix.
I am part businessman, husband, and father. I love spending time with my beautiful wife, Briana, and our four beautiful children: I enjoy playing and watching local sports. You can often catch me in the crowds attending a Phoenix Suns basketball game. I am a sociable, people-person who loves getting to know individuals of varied backgrounds. I enjoy the number crunching of my profession and being a valuable resource in helping my clients make smart real estate decisions.

Mike Rasmussen
Director of Operations
I’m a proud parent of four wonderful kids and a delighted grandparent to eight amazing grandkids. Family is everything to me, and I cherish the time we spend together. I love watching movies with my beautiful wife; there’s nothing better than cozying up on the couch with some popcorn and our favorite films. When I’m not at home, you’ll likely find me on the golf course, enjoying a good game and the great outdoors. I also have a passion for cooking—there’s something so rewarding about whipping up a delicious meal for close friends and my loved ones. Life is all about creating memories, and I’m grateful for every moment!
I have a background in aerospace, vendor relations, supply chain management and extensive experience in operational excellence. Additionally, my experience in higher education has equipped me with a strong foundation in project management, collaborative problem-solving and developing strategic partnerships.
I currently have an MBA from Grand Canyon University.

Jensen Moore
General Manager & Accounting
I was born and raised in San Diego, CA before moving to Arizona in 2018. I received my Bachelor's degree in Exercise and Wellness from Brigham Young University and then my Doctorate degree in Chiropractic from Southern California University of Health Sciences. I owned my chiropractic business before joining Ultimate Properties and getting my real estate license. As a prior business owner, I understand the value of building trust and providing high quality customer service, which is why I was drawn to Ultimate Properties.
While I enjoy my career, my highest priority is being a husband and father. I am grateful to have such an amazing wife, Tracy, and two wonderful sons. My faith and my family are the most important things in my life. If I'm not serving in my church or making memories with my family, I am usually exercising or playing in local sports leagues.
