How to avoid defaulting on your home loan.

There’s been quite a bit of press lately regarding people walking away from their mortgages.

60 minutes just did a feature on a family right here in the metro area that had decided to walk away from their house. Even thought they could still afford their mortgage payments, the fact that they were making payments on a house that was now worth only a fraction of what they’d originally paid for it just didn’t make sense.

The numbers are staggering and the after affects are beyond our comprehension. If you are considering this as an alternative, please give us a call first. You have some other options that can help save your credit and sanity. You don’t have to default at all!

We know that this market is very frustrating, but we’re here to help.

Calderwood Makeover Project

sellingarizonare — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:45:31 +0000

Calderwood Elementary provides alternative education experiences for students in the Pendergast Elementary School District in the West Valley of Phoenix. The alternative program has grown from 10 students in 2004 to about 75 students who are housed in portable facilities at 10730 W. Campbell (site of Copper King Elementary).

Calderwood is home for students who have difficulty learning and thriving in the traditional school environment. Pendergast, which serves 10,000 K-8 students in Phoenix, Avondale and Glendale, has lacked funding to make improvements and upgrades at Calderwood.

For 48 hours, during the weekend of March 12th through the 14th, we participated in the Calderwood Elementary School Makeover Project. This “extreme makeover” project was conducted by nearly 200 community volunteers.

Organized as a community outreach program by PSI Seminars of Phoenix, volunteers painted and carpeted the five portable classroom and office buildings on the campus; created two new garden spaces; donated technology equipment for classrooms; and purchased library books and physical education equipment. Dave Sloan of Affinity Technology estimated that nearly $200,000 worth of labor, donated equipment and discounted materials went into the makeover.

“The work team included professionals, school staff, church groups and others who gave time, tools and materials for the project. The labor included stripping old carpet and laying new carpet; patching holes; removing and returning all furniture; installing cabinets; painting; construction of new offices – everything you can image that goes into a makeover event,” said volunteer General Contractor Paul Carlson.

We were so honored to have the opportunity to help in such an amazing project!

Green By Design Event, April First!!

We are so excited about the eco friendly turn real estate is taking. There are some exciting frontiers being explored right now regarding smart growth and energy conservation in newer developments and retrofitting in existing ones.

We all have a vested interest in keeping our communities sustainable for years to come not just for ourselves, but for our children.

That’s why we are so excited to be attending the Southeast Valley Regional Association of Realtor’s Green By Design Event. Becky and I are passionate about the green movement in real estate right now and are looking forward to not only to amazing keynote speakers, but tours of projects here in the valley that are demonstrating energy efficient design.

More information can be found at the SEVRAR website.
