Inside the gates of Encanterra, our Shea Preferred team has sold nearly 65% of our listings and closed over 228 sales. Yes, 228 sold Shea Preferred listings. This is a huge win/win for you the seller as it puts us in the driver’s seat for many factors relating to the transaction. If no agent is involved we eliminate an outside agent who perhaps is generally new to the area or has limited Continue Reading

Lot premiums or choosing non-standard lots, is this a good move?
With over 25 years of true full time Real Estate experience in the entire valley and 1700 transactions here is our assessment. Buyers coming from other parts of the country are shocked to see block fences and homes 10’ apart. With land cost continuing to go up builders are forced into squeezing more homes per acre. As long as lot premiums are reasonable, and that’s subjective, then of course the Continue Reading

Real Estate teams or a single agent, which benefits you the most?

With so many moving parts with contract changes, lending and tax laws, and the nearly 50 pages of documents from contract to closing, when a team of 4-5 full time professionals work together it’s a much smoother process for a buyer or seller. Add home Continue Reading
Representing a buyer in a resale home and what does that involve?
After being on site since Encanterra was a dirt lot and representing over 500 buyers and sellers; we have it down to where we can tell you within 1% what a home should and will sell for. We see MANY buyers grossly overpay for homes that were likely mislead in an open house or by an agent that has never sold a single home in the community. We have access to builder stats for each series and plan, Continue Reading

Why does the same floor plan sell for $30,000-40,000 more or less than another?
Look no further than the design studio where it all starts. Years ago when we first opened at Encanterra® it was common to see buyers spend $100,000 or more on options and upgrades. Today we see buyers cutting back on those options as the builder is no longer offering large incentives. If you just moved here from another region in the country, what was popular and expected back home may have Continue Reading
