This Arizona Home Builder has a fresh new face

By Claudia Mackelprang

Each of us have seen the familiar sticker on many different products; sodas, crackers, candy, chips, cookies the sticker with the phrase; "new look same great taste." Recently you would be justified is slapping on a similar sticker to Trend Homes, one of Arizona's leading home builders; "new company, new owners same great homes!"
Now that Trend Homes has been purchased by the private equity firm Najafi Cos, Trend Homes is out to show it's a fresh new company completely void of any of its old issues!

In the early months of 2008, Trend Homes after experiencing many of the same problems most Arizona home builders were experiencing was on the very edge of being forced to close their doorspermanently. The problems that presented themselves were not due to Trend Homes building an lesser product, in fact, quite the very opposite; Trend Homes was recently ranked Highest in Quality by Phoenix, Arizona Home Builders. The problem was simply that people were not buying houses in Arizona.

Now within the ownership of the private equity firm Najafi Cos, Trend Homes has improved its appeal taking it beyond lovely homes in the Phoenix Valley but now offers incentives and programs that other Arizona Home Builders are not offering, including Pre-Approved Bank Short Sales; Trend has arranged with banks to Pre-approve short sales. With this guaranteed pre-approval, Arizona home buyers can now circumvent the would be lengthy waiting process of getting approval.

With the many incentives and programs Trend Homes currently offers homebuyers, Trend Homes, now owned by Najafi Cos offers some of the most appealing interest rates available. Additionally, Arizona home buyers will be given the opportunity to save up to 40% on their new home by taking part in a Pre-Approved Short Sale.

The buying of the company names Trend Homes and Classic Communities with the debt by the two companies by the equity firm Najafi Cos in first quarter of 2008 affords this Arizona home builder the chance for a fresh start. Additionally, with the new beginning that Trend has, they're taking the opportunity to give Arizona home buyers the chance to get a new start in a new and lovely home with fresh incentives, fresh savings, and fresh down payment opportunities.

Along with the many changes that have occurred at Trend Homes and Classic Communities since January of 2008 when they were purchased by Najafi Cos, you'll find the introduction of the Paint for Your Down program which allows Arizona home buyers to lower their down payment in exchange for spending some time with a paint roller painting their new Arizona home. This type of program is a first of its kind for Arizona home builders.

There are specific things that Arizona home buyers expect from Trend Homes. And as a leader among Arizona's home builders, Trend Homes considers these expectations to be very serious. Even with the changing of ownership, (Najafi Cos bought Trend Homes in Jan. 2008) residents of Arizona can and should still expect the same things as they always have from Trend Homes. They can still count on; beautiful homes, made with quality products by skilled craftsmen. As a leader among Arizona home builders, Trend is committed to YOUR satisfaction.

Now under the ownership umbrella of the private equity firm Najafi Cos, Trend Homes now has the kind of credit that allows the company to have a new start which is both beneficial for Trend AND beneficial for Arizona home buyers as Trend Homes is able to offer certain programs and incentives other Arizona home builders cannot such as Pre-Approved Bank Short sales and very appealing prices on foreclosed homes in Arizona. - 15478
