Anthem Parkside atMerrill Ranch: Florence“To create a place where people liveand raise their children is a privilege,”said Jacque Petroulakis, who worksin corporate communications for thePulte Group. “We take it seriously andplace importance on the planning ofevery community we build.”
Set in Florence, the community ispart of a master plan that includesthe age-qualified Sun City Anthem atMerrill Ranch. Amenities include a60-acre park with a lake as well as awater park and a community centerthat features everything from a rock-climbing wall to workout facilities.
“When you have amenities in yourcommunity and a team onsite that’sdedicated to facilitating clubs andgroups and outings,” Petroulakis said,“it really connects you to the greatercommunity.”
Eastmark: MesaDMB Associates has its focus fixed onthis five-square-mile Mesa propertythat is the former home of the Gen-eral Motors Desert Proving Ground.
Although still in the early develop-ment stages, Eastmark is getting readyto make its public debut. Seven buildershave signed on for Phase 1, and thecommunity center is slated for a grandopening this May. Eastmark’s signaturefeature will be a 100-acre park connect-ing the plan’s neighborhoods, each ofwhich will have its own unique park.The community will also have an amphi-theater, lake, splash pad and more.
Estrella: Goodyear“Estrella feels like a small town withinthe greater metropolitan area,” saidGreg Bielli, Western region presidentfor Newland Real Estate Group, whichdevelops Estrella.
“Boot camps”help buyers kickup credit scoresSome homebuilders offer help
for those in need of credit repair
Whoever said it was tough get-ting a home loan lately hasn’twatched Arizona’s new home-
builders in action.Just ask Mary Ortega, who started out
looking at model homes for decorat-ing ideas and ended up buying a newhome. “I always wanted a new home, butdidn’t think I could [purchase a home]because past personal issues really hurtmy credit,” said Ortega, 42, of Goodyear.
“Boot camps” to the rescueOver the last few years, qualifying fora loan has definitely become morestringent, but some builders have helpedpotential buyers reconstruct creditscores through financial “boot camps.”These services offer potential homeown-ers the possibility of upping their creditscores and obtaining a home loan attoday’s record-low interest rates.
One recipient of homebuilder help isOrtega, who moved into a 2,400-square-foot home in August after getting help withher credit from Taylor Morrison homes.
“It [her home] is beautiful,” Ortegasaid. “I never thought I could qualify.Taylor Morrison helped me every stepof the way.”
P.J. Saturno, assistant vice president forTaylor Morrison Home Funding in Scotts-dale, said the program is designed for quali-fication improvement. “It helps strengthenthe overall credit profile,” he said.
Help is availableAnother builder who offers help is PulteHomes, which has a mortgage advisorprogram with hands-on, seven-day-a-week mortgage financial advisors whowill meet with a customer in person orover the phone.
Meanwhile, Taylor Morrison’s pro-gram is called ARO, which stands for“able, ready, own”. Currently, 98 peopleare enrolled, with ARO counselors help-ing buyers execute the best strategies toimprove their credit and qualificationprofile. To date, 185 customers havegraduated from the program with theability to qualify for home financing.
“Many times, people don’t know howto improve their credit score,” Saturnosaid. “There are many individualizedthings they can do. We are not a creditrepair company, we simply assist peoplewith improving their qualifications.”
Conflict of interest?Some consumer experts see theseprograms as a conflict of interest, butSaturno disagrees.
“We don’t require them to purchase ahome to enter our program, nor do theyhave to write up a contract,” Saturnosaid. “Our ultimate goal is to help themobtain a home.”
