Home Sweet Retirement Home










Bill and Rose sold their family home in California back in the 1990's and took part of the proceeds of the sale to buy a super deluxe motor home with all the bells and whistles. Ever since then they have been calling the motor home "home" while they traveled the country taking advantage of the best weather for every month of the year. Of all the places they have experienced, they chose Arizona to settle down and make their permanent hub. Arizona is the perfect choice! They have childhood friends from Wisconsin who have also selected Pinal County for their retirement homes. They love the golf, restaurants, wide-open spaces, plenty of sunshine and spending time with their friends.


I had the privilege of working with Bill and Rose. They became like family. We found the home pictured to the left in the Park Homes neighborhood of Los Arboles in Coolidge, Arizona on one of their visits in November, 2011. We originally put an offer on a Short Sale home in the same neighborhood last spring allowing time for the Short Sale to be processed during the summer months while they were enjoying cooler weather to the north. Even though they loved the Short Sale home, the 2nd lien holder of the property refused to negoitiate causing us to reluctantly move on and look at other options. This home was investor owned. The investor-owners gave meticulous attention to every detail of this home. It was like brand new, only better, because it included a fully landscaped front and backyard with complete watering systems installed, window coverings throughout and upgraded light fixtures and ceiling fans. This house was move-in ready!



Look at the spotless interior. . .












That is just what these snowbirds were looking for! They want to continue traveling without the worries of huge mantaintance bills that would damper their travel plans. The home they purchased was built in 2006, has 1323 spacious sf with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, plus a 2-car garage operated with an automatic garage door opener. Rose loves to decorate and has plenty of room to fulfill all her creative dreams!
