New road systems and parks have been proposed. If you are looking for real estate in Surprise, make sure you are working with someone that can discuss the future of the area.

About NW Phoenix and Surprise
|
|
A funny thing happened on the way to the 21st Century, NW Phoenix and by that I mean Surprise, Peoria, Glendale, Wittman and Wickenburg begin to grow at nothing less than incredible rate of growth. I have a good friend of mine who likes to tell me when he bought a RV lot in 1989 to stay during the winter at Happy Trails RV resort in Surprise, it was surrounded by nothing but a dirt road and orchards. The golf course (Great Eagle) was only 9 holes back then. Now, this area will soon be close to the new city center of Surprise and just a couple of miles from new shopping malls, science research facilities and even a proposed new hospital. There's more than 10 golf courses within just 15 minutes of the new city center. What a change!
But thats not all, Surprise is moving north towards Wittman and further along the way Hwy 60 corridor to Wickenburg. An amazing amount of growth is planned including residential communities, new retail centers, parks, just about everything you would expect of a city that will be over 100,000 population in just a few years. Just west of this area, is a still virgin desert area called Whispering Ranch. Broken into 5 acre plots of land, many individuals looking for peace and quite have found that along with mountain views.
Surprise is growing to be more than just a roadside community on the way to Phoenix. It is committed to local job creation and to become a self sustaining city. Thats why I love my job as a consultant to home owners, home buyers, business owners, and investors. Now with Surprise becoming more than a bedroom center, commercial real estate has become a big part and I have been able to help out those who are looking for commercial condos, warehouses, and retail centers. It is what is needed to help bring Surprise to a new level of growth and prosperity. Let me know what you think of Surprise and if you need help in real estate, just drop me an email. I would be glad to help in anyway I can. |

Tolleson - Residential and Commercial Growth
|
|
Tolleson over the last few years has experienced both commercial and residential growth to become a city where residents can live, play and work. Just 10 miles from down town Phoenix and the Airport, Tolleson has seen residential growth. Take a look at this link to find out more information. http://www.tollesonaz.org/index.aspx?NID=6 Along with the growth has come a period where some homeowners are feeling the effects of the real estate market down turn. Buyers and take advanatge of these distressed properties through careful inspection of properties and using lenders to provide them great rates at low cost. However, homeowners in this market that must sell their home due to job loss, forced relocation, medical expenses or other problems are more limited in their choice of real estate agents to help them. Distressed homeowners needing to short sale their home need to have a Realtor who has the experience of working with short sale homes daily. They need to be able to provide the home owner with information on credit impact, federal taxes, Arizona anti-deficiency laws, and lenders process for completing the short sale. I have the short sale experience and refine it with the knowledge I gain from working with lenders on a daily basis. I also have developed a network of Realtors and support functions desigend to lessen the impact on short sale sellers while getting the deal completed. My goal is to get the property sold and help the homeowner move forward in their lives. Call me at 623-606-8861, look over theshort sale section of this web site for more information. |
