Phoenix Realtor Warns About Online Property Auctions

The Phoenix news radio station KTAR has warning to avoid online property auctions. The story states that the Realtor "asked not to be identified"!

Here's what the Phoenix Realtor had to say:

"One Valley realtor says she's against them and warns of some pitfalls."

"The banks and developers are using them as an avenue to get rid of properties," she said. "Developers are trying anything at this time to sell their properties and get rid of them because they're in so deep."

This same stuff is happening in Concho, Arizona right now

Commonly, the violation of the mortgage is a default in payment of a promissory note, secured by a lien on the property. When the process is complete, it is typically said that "the lender has foreclosed its mortgage or lien." Source: Wikipedia

How To Get All Your Money Back From Your Concho Arizona Land Purchase

I bought some land in Concho and was shocked to find my Concho lot listed on the Arizona Real Estate Department website.

A developer had issued a public report for a Concho, Arizona subdivision and my lot was listed on the public report!!

I contacted the Arizona Department of Real Estate Public Reports Office in Tucson, Arizona. I wanted to know about this public report and where is my copy of it that I never received nor was I notified by the State or the land seller.

The people in the Tucson public reports office were shocked that public reports were issued for land already sold in Concho, Arizona.

I was also very thankful of the Arizona Department of Real Estate office in Tucson. They quickly looked into the situation and started an investigation.

A public report is issued for future subdivisions and land sales.

In my experience a developer published a public report in a Concho subdivision for land already sold. He used to own it before he sold it. The land purchaser of the lot in the public report was me!

The good thing is that this developer quickly gave all my money back from my land purchase. Money from my land purchase was transferred into my Paypal account. The land seller very quickly refunded my entire purchase price of the land. I was very happy with developers customer service of this situation. I was kind of caught in the middle of this and just wanted my money back.

White Mountains Real Estate Agents Going To Prison or Jail?

A White Mountains real estate agent told me that "I don't want to go to jail or prison". This real estate agent was talking about the land sales that have been going on in the Apache County area. These real estate people are very scared on the situation going on.

The latest talk of the town is mortgage fraud in Concho, Arizona and possible illegal land sales in Concho. Land sales in and around the golf course and lake area have raised some eyebrows. Some large land loans have been recorded in Concho this past year with inflated land appraisals. One large mortgage note or land loan was in Concho Valley Unit 3 others are all around the golf course and lake.

Land Fraud Hits Concho

Concho lots, land, and acreages have gotten new land loans this past year. This is a very bad situation for the whole area. These real estate developers have built up inventory of Arizona land in Concho. Land sales in Concho, Arizona were recorded with inflated prices. The real estate developers got new land loans with the inflated land prices of the recorded land sale.

Illegal Arizona Land Sales With Financing

Apache County residents and land owners are getting letters with offers of land with financing. A local Apache County real estate business is selling Arizona land with financing and setting up illegal subdivisions within a subdivision. Yuck!

Concho, Arizona Land Owner is Selling its Property

Some large Concho, Arizona land owners in the area are selling off the property .... This was even news to the local realtor!!

I hope 2008 is a much better year for Concho, Arizona and Apache County!

Homes For Sale in Concho - Manufactured Homes

The quickest way for a house in the White Mountains is to purchase a brand new manufactured home or factory built home. If you are a smart shopper you can find wholesale new manufactured homes from $35,000 and up.

Cavco Industries, Inc. - A Southwest Leader of manufactured and factory built homes. many floorplans and options to choose from has a factory in downtown Phoenix.

Manufactured homes are all around the rim country of Arizona including Payson, Heber, Show Low, Snowflake, and even Greer.

I will never forget eating lunch at a Greer, Arizona restaurant and looking across a meadow and seeing a mobile home on the hillside! I asked the waitress if that was a mobile home up on the hill? She told me she doesn't see a mobile home on the hill! I guess the Greer real estate and the Greer locals do not want everyone to know that manufactured homes are in Greer!!!

Make sure to get all the proper permits from the local government and county officials.

Concho Arizona Land Video of Concho Valley Unit 6 AZ

Toured Concho, Arizona on December 26, 2007. I took 87 up from Scottsdale and drove by Fountain Hills, Payson, Heber, and Show Low. Driving in my rental car took a little under 3 hours to Show Low. Very little snow was still on the ground from the overnight snowstorm.

I filmed Concho Valley Unit 6 from corner of Osage Land and Ranch Drive. I pan over to the Town of St. Johns water tank and property. Town officials have told me at some point the water tank will be removed. At this time no water is privided in this Concho, Arizona subdivision. On the backside of Concho Valley Unit 6 St. Johns, Arizona has an active city well that provides municipal water water to St. Johns.



No luxury homes, mobile homes, or manufactured homes have been built in this subdivision yet. This Arizona Land is flat with no pine trees. Cattle roam the land at times. This is open range land. You can fence off your property to keep the wildlife and cattle away.

Talked with a few local real estate specialists. Things are real slow right now and slow for the whole White Mountains real estate market.

One of the Vernon real estate mogils was on vacation down in Tucson??? Yes Tucson.

The Windsor Valley Ranch subdivision has a nice sign along the State Route 61. I did not see anyone touring that land nor any sales people around on the property.

I also did a quick tour of the new homes for sale in Show Low. The Show Low Bluff development is one of the largest developments in the White Mountains.

In all it was a nice day trip to see the White Moutains and Concho.

Expired Domain Names

Looks like another Concho, Arizona domain name will go up for auction maybe??

Real estate Domain Names can be goood investments.

A good place to find quality expired domain names is at the domain name auctions!

Currently the busiest real estate activity in Concho, Arizona is the weeds growing in Concho Lake!

Suncor Sister Company APS & NZ Legacy Plan Massive New Community In Arizona

Could Northern Arizona be Google's next target for renewable energy ?



"Google, the Internet company with a seemingly limitless source of revenue, plans to get into the business of finding limitless sources of energy." Source: NY Times Google’s Next Frontier: Renewable Energy

NZ Legacy & Suncor are planning a massive new community just North of Concho, Arizona near Hunt, AZ and the Petrified Forest National Park.

Suncor was founded in 1986 and is a member of the Pinnacle West family of companies. Pinnacle West is the parent company of APS. APS provides energy utilities to homes and businesses in Arizona.

NZ Legacy is owned by Robert Worsley. Mr. Worsley was Chief Executive Officer and President of SkyMall, Inc. Mr. Worsley retired from SkyMall on November 1, 2003 to pursue the expansion and development of the New Mexico and Arizona Land Company, LLC's.

The NZ Legacy website states "Mr. Worsley funded $250,000 for the planning and execution of Navajo County and Apache County's comprehensive plans. The plans were due to the state in December 2003. Both counties are now in compliance."

In September 2006, NZ Legacy began construction of its 24MW biomass plant in Snowflake, Arizona.

Huge Arizona Development In White Mountains Near Concho

In the April 12, 2002 issue of The Phoenix Business Journal it stated that Worsley bought the 150-square-mile property east of Holbrook in late March 2002.

"A city that could break the rules in urban design is proposed on 95,000 acres in northeast Arizona by the founder and former chief executive of SkyMall Inc. and the designer of DC Ranch."

"SkyMall's Bob Worsley of Phoenix and Scottsdale architect Vernon Swaback are exploring designs for a future community next to the Petrified Forest National Park."

The NZ Legacy website states this new development information: "The Milky Ranch is the planned location for the Stone Axe Power Ranch, LLC. It is planned to have wind, solar, biomass and low head-hydro energy production as well as salt dome storage of compressed air, natural gas, propane and bio-diesel fuel." The Milky Ranch is North of Concho, AZ on ALT 180 near the Petrified Forest National Park. This site is unique that is 100,000 acres with great solar resources. The site is a class 3 wind site. 150 miles to Phoenix with good railroads, natural gas pipeline and road access. Mr. Worsley is the only owner of the property who will promote and drive the project.

"NZ has retained the services of Swaback Partners, some of who are Frank Lloyd Wright protégés and city planners for Scottsdale, Sedona, Cave Creek, DC Ranch, etc. Subsequently, several of the principles of Swaback have formed a new company called Espiritu Loci and are assisting with detailed plans. Future proposals for this land will occur in phases but will include:

Ultimately a new city is planned (a la Anthem, AZ) with good water. The city, code named “Stone Axe”, is equidistant between Albuquerque, NM and Phoenix, AZ." Source: nzlegacy.com website.



Ranch Communities of America, LLC (RCA) RCA will be the brand NZ uses as it markets finished lots in the new developments.

Water
Water Rights "NZ recently contracted with a local well driller to develop 10 commercial wells capable of pumping 1000 to 3,000 gpm in a geographically diverse pattern. Short-term, these wells will be used for agricultural purposes but ultimately they will probably provide municipal potable water for a new metro area."
Source: NZ Legacy Website

Take a look at the proposed drill map on the above water rights link for the outline of the new metro area near Hunt, AZ! You can zoom in on the map to see some area features like Hunt, AZ and the Milky Wash.

A story in the White Mountain Independent stated that NZ Legacy owns 150 deeded sections in Apache and Navajo County. The article also mentions a massive land exchange with the U.S. Forest Service that could be the largest land exchanges ever!

NZ Legacy land in Concho, Arizona:

Parcel #: 201-76-009A NZ TRUST, LLC Owner W2 OF SEC 7 T12N R25E. - 220 Acres. The parcel I believe is just west of Concho Valley Unit 1. Concho Valley Unit 1 is across the street from Concho Lake and the Concho West Shore subdivision. The subdivision next to Concho Valley Unit 1 is Concho Valley Unit 4A. Here is public report information on the NZ Trust parcel located in Concho, AZ:
Arizona Corporation Commission Search: NZ Trust LLC Agent Name: ROBERT M WORSLEY.

At the time of writing this report I have not been able to research other properties owned by Mr. Worsley in Concho. I was only able to find the 200 acre parcel owned by the LLC at this time. Check back for further updated information.

It looks like the Milky Ranch property is recorded as "MILKY RANCH LLC". on the Apache County Assessor website.

Show Low Bluff Residential Homesites, Commercial Parcels

Best Value in White Mountains for Residential Homesites, Commercial Parcels

Show Low Bluff, Judy Brockett video of the latest develoment going on, commercial property, hockey team, convention and event center, outdoor theater, restaurants, water features, swimming hole, and lots of entertainment.



Show Low Bluff residential homesites and commercial parcels represent the best real estate value now available in the White Mountains. Current properties are priced below market, and all should experience healthy appreciation due to our proposed amenities, owner associations’ architectural committee and design guidelines.

Eighty-nine homesites are available in the Show Low Bluff Sitgreaves Park, our first residential neighborhood. They range in size from 1/6th to 1/3rd of an acre and are priced from $63,900 to $73,500. These prices are a tremendous value for homesites with incredible views and cul-de-sac locations in a small-town, mountain setting.

Residents of Sitgreaves Park will be part of a homeowner’s association which, combined with design standards and proposed amenities, are expected to maintain and boost property values. Planned amenities include trails and parks, but others envisioned include a major greenbelt recreational area with lakes, kayaking streams and a swimming hole.

Commercial parcels are available in Penrod Commerce Park, situated between Sitgreaves Park to the west and Penrod Road to the east. These parcels are from 1.15 acres at $550,000 to 2.32 acres at $1.4 million.

Commercial parcels are in great demand in the White Mountains as the area is at the front-end of an expected period of rapid growth. Commercial owners will be part of a business owner’s association and subject to design guidelines which, similar to residential owners, should cause property values to appreciate substantially.

One of the main reasons that Show Low Bluff property owners should experience higher property values is that both Sitgreaves Park and Penrod Commerce Park are contiguous to The Hub, our central commercial district. Residents and workers will be within walking distance of the most unique commercial area now planned for all of the White Mountains—a pedestrian-focused downtown area that will mix restaurants and retail shops with park space and entertainment opportunities.

For information on residential and commercial properties, contact Stephanie Crain at White Mountain Heritage Realty at 928-532-0808.

Show Low Bluff, currently zoned for 3,735 residential units, will have nine residential neighborhoods—Adams Park, Beale Park, Clark Point, Cluff Park, Cooley Creek, Huning Ranch Park, Kearney Park, Sitgreaves Park and Summerhaye Park—plus two commercial areas, The Hub and Penrod Commerce Park.
