Hi ,
I have a luxury property in MESA,AZ .It is a custom earth sheltered home and majority of it is underground.It is horse property .But the realtors are not very much interested in marketing it and getting it sold as it is a rare kind of house in AZ.
The details of the property are as follows:---
I have a custom home to be sold at 759 G which is appraised at 850 G. The home is a custom home,earth sheltered, made of steel and concrete , custom hardwood floor with granite tops in kitchen ,toilets , fountain showers in the toilets , all fans remote controlled,digital dimmers ,plasma TV and a lot of more , chisseled granite tops , custom sinks and a lot more ............You must see it in person to appreciate the features that it is having because it is very much difficult to cover all it's features in a few lines...
The house also has horse rights and has 1.25 Acre land along with it, the land in the neighbourhood is worth 300-350 G an Acre .

Apart from these there are indonesian artwork in the house .the other details of the property are as follows..
This is an unique home .When it was built the Maricopa County Officials sent Choppers to get it pictured !!!!!!!!!

It is unique of it's kind .It has plenty of amenities in it ...It is constructed of steel and concrete and also has a 42" Plasma TV in it that is for free for the buyer.

Since the house is mostly under the earth it is extremely energy efficient.The details of the home are described as follows:

This home is a very unique property.

It is extremely energy efficient

It is an earth sheltered home

It is constructed of concrete and steel

It has recently been extensively remodeled and it is completely new from the floors on up


The lot is 1 acre plus

This property has horse rights and has no HOA

The home is 3100 square feet. It is a 4 BR/ 2.5 B with a loft. There is a 2 car garage.

There is also a 12' * 12' storage shed in the rear of the property. The front and back entrances are completely remodeled with granite.


kitchen---There are brand new stainless steel appliances throughout the kitchen. The kitchen also includes maple custom cabinets, as well as African Chesnut hardwood floors. The kitchen has granite counter tops, bar top and back splashes. The kitchen also includes a built-in pantry.

Bathrooms--The half bath on the main floor has a solid granite vanity and vessel sink. The 2ND bathroom has marble floors and travertine throughout. The shower features a soothing waterfall shower head.

The Asian-Zen master bathroom is truly amazing as it hosts an underground Indonesian rock waterfall in addition to a 320 gallon soaking tub. The Black Alor stone has been said to improve circulation. In addition there are slate floors, granite counter tops and granite vessel sinks with stainless steel faucets.

The den holds an amazing granite fireplace. In addition you will find a 42" plasma screen T.V.

42" PLASMA TV IS FREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A lot of other home improvement products are free
The property is landscape ready and comes with a $10,000.00 landscape allowance (with acceptable offer) which may be used towards the closing costs as well.


The one of a kind all-granite wrap around deck is a perfect place for entertaining or relaxing with the family.

It offers gorgeous mountain views and the perfect place to watch the sunset



INTERESTING FACTS:
This is truly a home ahead of its time. When it was being built in 1983 the local news channel sent helicopters to photograph and ran a story on it as it is was quite a head turner then and even more of one now due to the improvements and upgrades.


100% FINANCING IS AVAILABLE- the buyer will have an answer from the loan officer within 15 minutes and final paperwork is estimated to take no longer than 10-15 days.

Also the property is located in the mountainside areas where there are a lot of custom luxury properties and it is just 10 mins away from the lakes...

Now can you guys suggest me ways in order to market the property .My company is transferring me to CA and this propoerty which has been my dream home is becoming a pain in the neck.

Can you suggest me anyway of showing it on Realty TV or something so that i can get rid of this asap.
The address is 1123 N 104th St ,Mesa,AZ

She locked in a rate for my new house 45 days ago and says that the lender is ready to fund the loan today. My house is not completed yet, and I refused to approve the funding until I get a walkthrough of my house. She says that because the rate has expired, I would have to pay for the extension fees. Why should I have to pay for extension fees when it is not my fault the the house is not complete and she was the one that decided to lock in the rate 45 days ago? Can she really charge me for that?

We are selling our house and are now playing the waiting game ( the appraiser is coming out tomorrow, the inspections are going to happen next week after memorial day.)
We just signed the contract earlier this week.
At what point is our house officially under contract after the loan application of the buyers is through?
They are pre approved for it.
And is it common to move out before the closing?
When should I start packing?

There are a few (4-5) houses on my end of the street that just don't take care of their home (I.E. one house may have a chip of paint left on it, another's yard looks like a junk yard--car parts, etc everywhere). Is there anything that can be done to force them to clean their area? Houses on the same street (just the other end) are selling in the 200,000 range houses on this end are lucky to get in the 80,000 range and I am sure there are other differences but real estate agents have advised that these other homes are hurting the value. any action that can be taken or that can be done? thanks!

i want to know of any legal recourse we might have in this situation? my THA (town home association) sent out a letter stating that they would be coming around for inspection for panting & carpentry work for which they're responsible and a time frame . The workers came and a letter was sent saying i had to replace a shed door. One day i come home and the siding has been taken off the front of my shed. but no work was being done to replace it so i call the association, they tell me that the wood under structure is rotted and it is my responsibility to replace it before they can reside it. Now one of the home owners was home when this took place and no one came to ask if it was ok for the workers to take off the siding in the first place! they just came on to our property and did this. I have called the THA and basically they are saying it's for us to do. i feel since they didn't ask first its on them at least to get the siding back up some how! What can i do????????

I'm located in Orange County California. Can a Realtor research the city/county to find homes that can legally keep fowl on the property? Or is that something the buyer has to research themselves?

I'm looking for a new apartment as I just got a new job. I called one such place that was on my list, and was told (rather rudely, actually) that they wouldn't lease to people with pets OR children. (I have one daughter, she's 5.) Now no pets, I can understand...but no children? Isn't that cutting out like 80% of the population? And moreover, isn't it a bit discriminatory?

Given how rude the guy was to me, I suspect he was just busy and wanted to shake me off, but still...

I just recently purchased my house, April of '06. there is nothing wrong with it, but I am currently in a relationship, wasn't at the time of purchase, and we spend all of our time at his house. We have four kids so my place just isn't big enough. Under my mortgage the house has to be "Owner Occupied". However I was wondering if there is any option of being able to rent it and not get into trouble. My credit is not the greatest so I can't refinance, plus haven't had it long enough. Any suggestions?

My grandmother passed away in February, leaving me her rental properties. I have a tenant who has not paid rent since February on a house about 20 miles south of here. Previous letters and attempts to collect rent have gone ignored- they won't answer the door when we try to even speak with them.
What possibly can we do to get these deadbeat tenants out!?

My wife and I have gotten to the point where I am on the verge of getting my two cars repossessed. Recently I got my income lowered by $20000 a year and my debt exceeds my income. I am behind on my morgage in which I am paying out of each pay period to get it caught up because I do not want to lose my house but the other debts suffer because of this. What do I do about the threat of my cars eventually being repossessed? What other choices do I have besides bankruptcy? Can someone point my in the right direction?

I would like to purchase a newer home, I have the equity needed to pay for the down and settlement however, I have a question.
How do I use the equity prior to the closing date from the sale of my existing home?
I don't understand the process very well. I wouldn't get the cash until we're at the closing and I need it to close on my new place.
How does this work?

Can a builder extend a closing date due to their personal problems?. The closing date was suppose to be August and they are extending to March?. The contract mentions the closing date but it's not too clear.

Also the new agreement they want us to sign mentions that 'we are mutually agreeing to extend the contract and no late claim is being made'. Surely this mean we DON'T have to sign it and we will be compensated If we do.

Please help, I need to sort this out today.

I plan on moving to an apartment in Florida in about 6 months. I recently entered a Credit Counselling program which shows as "Paying by 3rd party" on my credit report for all accounts invovled in the CCCS. My car, cell phone and one credit card are not in the program. ALL accounts are all paid timely. When I rented previously I was never late. Will I have a problem renting an apartment?

My wife and I are going from renting to owning soon. She is finishing her medical training and our household income is going up from 62K to 350k. Whenever you have a binding employment contract, will banks let you slide a little on a down payment. We do not have much in savings you see. Also, what kind of house ($$$) will a 4000-4500 mortgage payment get you these days (our credit is good). Just curious- this is a recent development. We will obviously be consulting with a financial planner soon.

My house has been on the market for 13 months. With no offers so far, I have dropped the price more than $150K so far. Now I'm considering dropping it another $50K. What's the deal? It's a beautiful view home. I am sweating about this because I've had to relocate for work and am now paying a rent AND a mortgage payment. How can I unload this house quickly without losing my shirt?
