In this episode of Local Legends with Jess – Arizona Edition, Jessica Benevento sits down with Morgan Hawes, also known as Mrs. Wrighthouse, a dynamic force in Arizona real estate whose journey started at just 18.

What began as curiosity quickly turned into a passion. Morgan shares how real estate felt less like work and more like a game—one where she could create, transform, and design spaces that evolve with every phase of life. From living through her own remodels to constantly refining her home to match her growth, she brings a unique perspective on how real estate can truly shape your lifestyle.

Originally on a pre-med track at ASU, Morgan quickly realized that path wasn’t aligned. Instead of following a traditional route, she pivoted into real estate development and entrepreneurship—diving into hands-on projects, pitching investment ideas, and learning the business from the ground up.

This conversation is all about trusting your instincts, pivoting with purpose, and building a life and career that actually fits who you are.

These are the local legends shaping our communities.
