Desert Mountain Homes in the village of Saguaro Forest will exceed your highest expectations. Desert Mountain is an exclusive master planned community located in North Scottsdale. There are 32 individual villages within the community that are all double gated. Saguaro Forest is the only village that has its own guard gate called the Caretaker's Cottage. All of the other villages have electronic gate access. Some of the largest and most extensive homes are located in this village which is why it is considered to be the most desirable place to live within Desert Mountain.

Saguaro Forest has some of the most amazing city light, mountain, sunset, and golf views because of the high elevations.

Desert Mountain Bank Owned Homes Are My Favorite!

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 19:11:15 -0700

I personally love selling Foreclosures in Desert Mountain. Many Realtors that I meet stay away from Bank Owned REO Homes because they do not fully understand the complexities of how REO's work. The two main reasons why I love to sell Lender Owned Properties to my clients are:

1) I feel this is a great way to get my clients the best deal possible. With home prices already down about 50% in Desert Mountain, I can find my clients an even better deal! This leaves them feeling very good about their new home purchase.

2) By selling foreclosed properties I get to utilize my legal background. As a Former Real Estate Attorney I enjoy helping clients sort through all of their foreclosure possibilities.

Desert Mountain Gated Golf Community Awards

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:00:22 -0800

Desert Mountain Golf Club is an award winning gated golf community. They have won over 80 awards in the past twenty years. These awards are not only for the recognition of residential community design as a whole but for the great clubhouses, Jack Nicklaus golf courses, retail shops, as well as for their desert conservation & environmental awareness.

Luxury Golf and Travel named Desert Mountain one of the Top 25 Private Golf Communities in America in 2006. This was just after the Outlaw Golf Course was named one of the Top 40 America’s Best New Courses in 2005 by Golfweek and Gold World Business named the golf shops in the Top 100 Private Golf Shops in the United States, that same year.

In 1997 the Award of Excellence was issued by the Urban Land Institute for the Recreational large-scale communities that Desert Mountain has to offer. The Apache Cottages, a village within Desert Mountain was awarded the Crescorda Award for Environmental Excellence by Valley Forward in 1996.

Differences Between Desert Mountain Realtors in Scottsdale

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 17:50:35 -0800

When purchasing a home it is important that you choose the best Realtor for the job. There is a HUGE difference between Realtors in Scottsdale. I know most of the public thinks that all Realtors are the same. I probably thought that way myself before I become a Realtor. I am a former Attorney and hold myself to a certain professional standard - many do not. You will find there is a big difference in the education and professionalism of Realtors.

There is also big difference when looking in Desert Mountain between an independent Realtor like myself and one hired by the development. I will happily show my clients ANY property in Desert Mountain, regardless of which company it is listed with. The developers own Realtors have a strong reputation for only showing their own listings. Want to see the rest of the market? Want to see lender owned foreclosures? Better call an independent Realtor like myself. I am not pressured to show you only certain listings and pump the positive side of every home. I can show you everything in Desert Mountain and help you see the pros and cons of each home.

I am dedicated to being upfront and honest with my clients. I don’t like to be “sold to” myself so I never treat clients that way. I am very blunt and will tell my buyers when a home is priced too high or has flaws that may not be obvious to them. So many homes in Desert Mountain are overpriced because the sellers are out of touch with today’s market.

Do You Really Need a Full Golf Membership to Enjoy Desert Mountain?

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 17:41:24 -0800

I was just talking to a friend of mine who has a full Desert Mountain Golf Membership (DEGM). He lives here year round, just steps away from the Renegade Golf Course and despite his best intentions he only golfed about 10 times this year. He really could have the same experience with the Desert Mountain Club or Social Membership. Sometimes it is not necessary to obtain a full golf membership as one would think. You get the same access to all of the clubhouses and tennis facilities while being allowed 20 rounds of golf per year with the Social Membership.

As your Desert Mountain specialist I would be happy to answer any of your questions about the different club memberships that are offered as a resident or you can visit my website for more details about becoming a Club Member at www.DesertMountainHomesOnline.com.

Saguaro Forest at Desert Mountain - Jaw Dropping Views for the Privileged Few

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 17:10:00 -0800

Desert Mountain is the most exclusive gated golf community in Arizona. What makes it so exclusive? Well how about 6 Jack Nicklaus private golf courses, 6 private members-only clubhouses, 6 private restaurants, private pools, spas, fitness center etc. Oh and with a membership cost of $325,000 this is not your average golf community. It is for the privileged and fortunate. Desert Mountain is divided into 32 smaller "villages" within the community. My favorite part of Desert Mountain is the Village of Saguaro Forest. It has spectacular views unlike any other. The village is elevated at the farthest north portion of Desert Mountain. Saguaro Forest is nestled up and into the Continental Mountains. The density of Saguaro cacti is unbelievable. The iconic cactus with arms are everywhere. It is literally packed with Saguaro cacti and is absolutely beautiful up there.

Waiting to Buy a Home in Desert Mountain Scottsdale?

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 17:32:44 -0800

Are you waiting to buy your next home in Desert Mountain Scottsdale? If so, you may want to rethink your timing. Waiting might cost you more money in the end. Homes are already half the price of what they were just a few years ago. Economists in Arizona are predicting that we are either at or very close to the bottom of the market. This means that there has never been a better time to buy real estate in Desert Mountain. One of the largest risks home buyers are taking by waiting is the potential increase in mortgage rates. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, if the Feds moves ahead with their plan to stop buying mortgage-backed securities at the end of March, the rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage is expected to increase. This increase in mortgage rates will be by nearly a percentage point from today’s 5.18% to 6.1% by the end of 2010. Even with a home as low as $900,000 that is a $522 increase in the monthly mortgage payment. This is a huge difference in the monthly carrying costs of a jumbo mortgage.

Call me to help you find your Desert Mountain dream home. The combination of today’s prices and mortgage rates are a rare historical opportunity to be seized. Purchase your home in Desert Mountain while it is still a buyers market. Visit my website at www.DesertMountainHomesOnline.com to see all available homes in this exclusive North Scottsdale gated golf community.
