These two understand the meaning of the word “downsizing.” After living in their Ahwatukee home for almost 20 years, they decided that the Genova plan was perfect! Shea Preferred Realty had the pleasure of helping them sell their Phoenix home over the summer. Their love story started when Michael and his four children were sitting in church and they heard the voice of an angel. Patti was singing as the church soloist. Michael’s children loved hearing her sing and the pair fell in love! This year they are celebrating their 22nd wedding anniversary. They love to travel and recently spent last summer on a USA road trip. They stopped in North Carolina and spent some extra time visiting their four adorable grandchildren. One of Patti’s favorite places to visit is Paris, France, where Michael recently took her to celebrate her 60th birthday. When they are not traveling, Michael loves to show off his talents in the kitchen. He is a gourmet chef at heart and loves to make Italian or any type of cuisine for friends and family. When Patti is not singing at church she loves to perform in musical theater. Before his retirement, Michael was with the Phoenix Fire Department for 32 years. He retired as Fire Captain and has many wonderful stories to share about his career. Patti’s passion for work was in education. She taught for 19 years then spent the next 15 years as an administrator in the Cartwright Elementary School District. She retired as an elementary school principal. They are looking forward to their new adventure at Encanterra® and taking their sweet Yorkie, Triscuit, on walks around the community! Welcome Patti and Michael to the “Good Life!”

Shea Preferred is thrilled to introduce Bob and Marlene, our newest homeowners on Vesper Trail. The Shea Preferred team assisted in selling their Mesa home over the summer. They have only been enjoying their new home for a few months, but they’re feeling right at home. Bob and Marlene knew when they visited Encanterra® several years ago that this community was a place they would love! And they have quite a love story too— Bob met Marlene in Germany when he was serving in the Army. He coached a high school cross-country team throughout his service, and during one of the games, Marlene’s sister introduced them to each other and the sparks flew (well, sort of according to Marlene!)! Marlene followed Bob back to the states as he finished up his military career and retired with a Purple Heart in 1990. Marlene worked for Intel for over 20 years and recently retired. She loves to cook and is very skilled in the kitchen when it comes to German cuisine. They just celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary and have three children plus three grandsons that they love spending time with. In their free time, they enjoy off-roading in their 4-wheeler, hiking and playing cards. We look forward to seeing them around the community and enjoying the Good Life!

A special thanks to Julia for bringing us another wonderful client, and to all the Community Representatives at Encanterra® for their continued support!
