In addition, he has strong family ties in Arizona."
MacEwen owned his own real estate brokerage firm for several years and later served as a vice president and regional manager in Southern California for both the Jon Douglas Company and Fred Sands Realtors before that firm was acquired by Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in 2000. A former director of the California Association of Realtors, he was named to NRT's President's Council in 2003 and 2004, an honor given to managers of the most productive branch offices in the country.
