Queen Creek Blog

Hi all

I wasn’t going to submit another post this soon but, after the channel 12 news this morning I needed to say something. The story came from the 12 news guys and gals. It was a story concerning valley new home builders and the shabby job they do in constructing homes. You must understand as a realtor I always advise my clients on having home inspection on a re-sale home and I purchase a phase inspection for my new build clients. In this story a water leak developed in the garage of a queen creek home. The damage caused was significant and I feel sorry for the family. As the story goes the builder did pick up the tab of the damage and displacement of the family. What’s got my goat is that all builders in the valley are subjected to problems especially in a hot market. The only city that was implicated in the “Shabby builders” story was Queen Creek!!!

I have sold homes all over the valley and have seen many inspections on new builds, all of them have had some problems and most have had serious problems. In fact one home in Chandler had no insulation in the attic. You would think that someone would have noticed!!

The moral of the story

No matter if you are purchasing a re-sale or new build in Queen Creek or any part of the valley GET AN INSPECTION!!

Hello all

I wanted to write a bit about some of the commercial projects coming to Queen Creek.

If you have traveled down Rittenhouse Rd you can see the work being done on the Ellsworth Loop Rd. This is the preliminary work for several commercial projects; they include Queen Creek Marketplace, Queen Creek Fiesta and the Queen Creek Village.

Click on the links to get more info on each project.

Most of the projects are due to be well on the way by the years end with most opening in early 2008. Let me know if you want more info on any of the projects, I will be happy to post some more info on any of Queen Creek’s commercial projects.

Also look for the future posting on the Banner Hospital on the way and the Trilogy master plan community opening soon.
