Devotions plan at SunRiver St. George.

Dalan Madsen — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 19:43:20 +0000

There is a new plan at SunRiver that everyone has asked for. “Make us a plan that is open and has flexible space…” It is just over 2,000 sq ft has a large kitchen and great room. It has a large master, 2 spare bedrooms and a Den. This home has lots of storage and big closets. Tall ceilings and large doors make this home feel like SunRivers larger homes. SunRiver has had a gap of product around the 2,000 square ft mark; this should give residents another option. Ask a sales agent to see the new plan, it’s being built for the first time in the Reflections gated community. This plan should become a superstar in the SunRiver Line up!

Bringing family close to home

For three years now, Dot Foster has been dreaming of Sharon and Dan joining her at SunRiver. You see, Sharon and Dan are not just close friends, but also Sharon is Dot’s daughter. Dan, after 39 years, of being Dot’s son in law, may as well be a son.

Sharon and Dan met in college and both enjoyed careers as data processing managers at the department of motor vehicles in California. Sharon and Dan are building a home just up the street from Dot Foster, over looking the river. They are excited about the views of Pine Valley, and living in a brand new plan custom designed to their lot and one of a kind views.

While they may not be an internet sensation like Dot, they at least come from that prestigious pedigree.

Welcome Sharon and Dan Goetzman!

CS Tip: Candle Wax Removal

HoneyDawn McElyea — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 16:11:37 +0000

To remove wax from carpeting or other fabric, try this trick. First scrape any excess off, then place a brown paper bag over the wax and run a warm iron over it. The wax will melt right into the bag! Continue moving the bag around as you pick up the wax so you are always using a clean section. If a little grease stain remains on the carpet, sprinkle with baking soda and allow to sit overnight before vacuuming, which will remove the grease resid

Celebrate Oktoberfest in Brian Head

Micheal Green — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 16:09:11 +0000

Brian Head, Utah is surrounded by folklore and hoopla, much like the original German Oktoberfest. Since they seemingly go hand in hand, there is no better place in Utah to hold Oktoberfest than Brian Head’s resort. The Navajo Lodge, where the fest takes place, is located amongst the 500 acres of ski slopes on the beautiful resort. Over a weekend in September, the Oktoberfest activities roll on from 12noon to late evening. Afterwards guests can go to another bar in Brian Head or turn in for the night in one of the resorts fine rooms. Everything is authentic German from food to beverage to choice of song and dance. The lodge is located on north on Highway 143 in Brian Head’s, Utah.

Located at the Navajo Lodge from 12:00 noon until 8:00 pm on Saturday and 12:00 noon until 5:00 pm on Sunday.

Home buyers reconsidering sales strategy

Dalan Madsen — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 20:21:02 +0000

Home Equity conversion mortgage (HECM) is having a big impact on sales at SunRiver St. George. Many buyers who have been waiting to get top dollar for their homes, and move to SunRiver, are now considering a HECM mortgage as a viable alternative to a traditional sale.

SunRiver Sales had a recent purchase where a individual bought a home with a purchase price of $235,000, normally a 20% ($47,000) down payment would be required with a mortgage payment of approximately $1,200 per month. By utilizing a HECM, this individual put $58,000 down, and makes no monthly mortgage payment for the rest of their life.

This is a FHA insured loan and is available to anyone that meets some general criteria (primarily 62 years old)

What is a dream kitchen?

It’s stainless steel appliances, Granite counter tops, and upgrades cabinets. To put it in more simple terms it’s $7,500 in credit to spend in SunRiver’s Award Winning Design Center.

What do I have to do to Qualify?

Start construction on your new home by Sept 15th. You may wonder what is so special about Sept 15th, that’s the last day you can start construction on and have your home completed in 2010.

SunRiver is excited to build on the success they have already experienced in 2010 and finish the year with a bang.
