Our History
Tucson Realty & Trust Co . was incorporated under the laws of the Territory of Arizona on December 22, 1911 and adopted the bulls-eye as its logo. That same year, George H. Amos came to work for the firm, sweeping the office, cleaning the spittoons and sprucing up rental homes. Soon after, he became a rent collector and eventually the leading insurance agent in the community, all before his 20th birthday. It is believed that Amos sold the first automobile insurance policy in Arizona in 1915. In 1924 he was elected a vice president and director of Tucson Realty & Trust Co., eventually to be named president of the firm.

When George H. Amos died in 1976, after 65 years of dedicated service, his son George H. Amos Jr., known as “Buddy”, assumed the presidency of Tucson Realty & Trust Co. Buddy, an insurance agent and community philanthropist, was well known for his work with the Arizona’s Children’s Home and St. Joseph’s Hospital.
Buddy continued the tradition of providing leadership in cultural, political, and charitable organizations, until his fight with cancer ended in November, 1990. Continuing the family tradition, George H. Amos III, known as “Hank”, took over the presidency of Tucson Realty & Trust in 1988. Hank is still the CEO of Tucson Realty & Trust and it’s subsidiary.
