Gov. Doug Ducey announced the appointment of Louis Dettorre, Deputy Commissioner of the Arizona Department of Real Estate (ADRE), to serve as Commissioner of the Department upon Judy Lowe’s retirement. Lowe is one of the longest-serving leaders in Ducey’s administration.
“Louis Dettorre has been an invaluable leader at the Arizona Department of Real Estate for years now,” Ducey stated. “He has experience in legislative affairs, communications, operations, and as the second in command at the department. I’m confident that he has all the tools needed to fill Commissioner Lowe’s big shoes. The work of Judy and her team has been instrumental in attracting people to Arizona. I’m grateful for her dedication to preserving Arizona’s reputation as the best place to live and raise a family. We will miss her, but I’m eager to work with Commissioner Dettorre and pick up where Judy left off.”
Lowe will leave her position on October 15, 2021, to join the Tucson Association of Realtors and Multiple Listing Service of Southern Arizona as Vice President of Operations. She has served as Commissioner of the Arizona Department of Real Estate since 2009.
Dettorre said, “I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve as Commissioner of the Department. Commissioner Lowe was an exceptional leader for the past decade-plus, and I’m fortunate that she passed down much of her wisdom to me and the rest of the team. We have a great team, and I’m excited for the road ahead.”
Dettorre was promoted to Deputy Commissioner by Commissioner Lowe in 2016. He served as Assistant Commissioner of Operations and Legislative Affairs since 2013. Before that, he was the Legislative Liaison and Public Information Officer at the Department of Real Estate from 2012 to 2013. He served in the same role for the Department of Financial Institutions from 2012 to 2015.
Dettorre received his BA in Communications and a Minor in Business Administration from the University of Dubuque, his MPA from Arizona State University, and a Leadership and Management certificate from the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School.
