Debra and Roger are feeling right at home at Encanterra®. Shea Preferred Realty Group assisted them in finding the perfect Refresh plan on Crocus Avenue. They fell in love with the open floorplan this home offers, and it has Debra’s dream kitchen with beautiful white cabinetry. Roger loves the fact the home comes with free snow removal and he can spend more time enjoying retirement.

Roger served in the military for 6 years then worked for the US postal service for 30 years. Debra worked as a legal assistant for 40 years retiring from Farmers Insurance in-house legal counsel last May. They are originally from Minnesota and are not missing the cold winters one bit! Once retirement kicked in, they started traveling and exploring places to retire in the southwest. They had their eye on Tucson initially and stumbled upon Encanterra® on accident. As soon they drove in the front gate they knew this was a place they could seem themselves enjoying.

Debra and Roger’s love story started 17 years ago when they decided to meet for coffee after corresponding online for a while. Roger also drove up on a motorcycle and Debra saw the sparks fly! A few years later, on Valentine’s Day, they got married in Las Vegas. Next year they will be celebrating their 15 year wedding anniversary! Together they have 3 daughters, 6 granddaughters, and 1 great-granddaughter. They love spending time with their family any chance they get. In their free time,
they enjoy traveling to National Parks and Presidential Museums. One of their most memorable vacations was when they visited Glacier National Park in Montana— on a motorcycle, of course!

Debra and Roger are thrilled to be here and look forward to meeting new friends along the way. Welcome to the “Good Life” at Encanterra®!

During past 6.5 months (Oct 1, 2016 through April 15, 2017), the perceived â€œBusy Season” at Encanterra®, there have been 44 successfully sold listings in the community, not including current pending listings. Our Shea Preferred team represented a total of 31 buyers and sellers during this timeframe.

When thinking about listing your home, please consider the above facts. At Shea Preferred, we do more than simply rely on MLS stats, hoping some agent will eventually sell your home. We have access to every detailed option sheet, we attend the sales and construction meetings with the Shea Sales team, and we work with the sales team on a daily basis. Of course, we are also located onsite in the model gallery at Encanterra®, where we get 1000 times the traffic than any open house. Most of the buyers we represent are referred by the sales team after a detailed club tour, creating a huge advantage for us. Other agents run in and out of the community with buyers who often never get to see the club and amazing amenities Encanterra® has to offer. 

If you decide to list with anyone but Shea Preferred, we will still be happy to help sell your home. However, we typically have a small, 30-minute window of opportunity to show your home to the hundreds of prospective buyers who walk through the models every week with frequently limited notice. If your agent does not have access for us to contact you directly, or if you have restrictions on showings, you will likely lose the opportunity for our team to show your home. The most simple and respected process for showing any home is for the buyer’s agent to contact the seller directly. 

Our amazing team, including TJ, Lacey, and Ben, personally know hundreds, if not more than half of our members by their first name. That personal touch and relationship with the community, along with our commitment to provide the highest level of service to our clients, gives us an unparalleled advantage for referral possibilities. 

Stop by our office to say hi and see what we are all about. We are located in the model complex and staff the office 7 days a week. 

It’s the perfect time of year to spend a weekend relaxing by the pool and refreshing at the spa. Check out this month’s specials at the Avlea Spa at Encanterra® (reposted here from their website).
