Superb Marketing Designed to Sell Your Home for the Highest Possible Price
Dear Doreen, I can’t believe you real estate agents! OMG! Three (including you) priced
my house well below what it’s worth. Everything I read and hear on TV says prices are rising, yet based on your recommendation, I’ll barely come out with anything after owning for 10 years. I’m putting a For Sale by Owner sign out, as I know I can get more than what all 3 of you said!
—Madder than a HornetDear Mad,
I understand your frustration. You are not alone. A recent survey reported 75 percent of owners believe their home is worth more than the agent’s recommendation. Meanwhile, 63 percent of buyers say homes are overpriced.
But, perceptions are beginning to line up with reality. In the fourth quarter of 2011, agents said 8 percent of clients believed their home to be worth the recommended price; That percentage has since doubled. Interestingly, asking price and sales price only vary by 5–10% according to agents in the survey.
—DoreenP.S. What are the disadvantages of selling it yourself? Stay tuned...

As an Anthem homeowner, I am fortunate enough to utilize the
beautiful Anthem Community Park on a daily basis.
I witness violation after violation of cars not slowing down and, more often, ignoring pedestrians already in the crosswalk at Venture Drive [and Gavilan Peak Parkway]. I, myself, and one of my younger daughters were almost hit when one car was stopped and in the lane next to him, a car flew by where we had to jump backwards to avoid getting hit… Then the car honked at us, to boot!
With as popular as that park is and that entrance smack-dab in the middle of the park, [there is] a lot of walking traffic crossing Gavilan Peak.
There really needs to be a flashing crosswalk there. In situations like this, it usually takes a terrible accident before action is taken. I fear someone is going to get killed before action is taken.
Can you please tell me if there are plans to get that underway anytime soon? If nothing is in the plans, how can we get this proposed?
Raymond KeregeAnthem
Editor’s Note: We contacted Maricopa County Department of Transportation about the crosswalk at Venture Drive and Gavilan Peak Parkway.
“If the public thinks there is a safety issue, MCDOT will look into it,” said Roberta Crowe, spokesperson for MCDOT.
“We will evalute the intersection and crosswalk to see if more can be done to alert motorists to the crosswalk,” Crowe said.
The crosswalk in question was installed at resident request, Crowe said, and meets national safety guidelines with advanced pedestrian crossing signage. Crowe said MCDOT will also contact Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office regarding the intersection, as part the problem may well be a law enforcement issue.
Follow Anthem News for developments on this story.
Treacherous Crosswalk Needs Attention
in&out stAff PhotoThe crosswalk at Gavilan Peak Parkway—joining Venture Drive on the west with an entrance to the community park on the east—is well marked, but not a four-way stop.

Missing Dog Park Proposal
Your story [“First Look at Proposed Enhancements,” In&Out, Jan. 24]
failed to mention the east of the catch-and-release lake Community Park option. This option was never taken off the table. The consultant didn’t think people would want to walk to the dog park—that’s his opinion. This omission is a disservice to the residents of Anthem and needs to be rectified.

anthem amenities Greater Access, Greater FeesBy Karen [email protected]
While Anthem’s amenities are generally reserved for use by Anthem homeowners
and tenants, non-residents are able to participate, albeit at a premium. And, that premium just went up.
The changes came as part of the 2013 budget approved by Council in October that included additional fees for non-residents and residential tenants.
Homeowners pay quarterly assessments to the Community Council (roughly $187 per quarter for most) and in turn, enjoy use of the community center.
Tenants of Bella Rosa Apartments and single-family homes pay a one-time
$75 administration fee. Effective this year, tenants will also pay a $35 annual renewal fee. (Tenants who signed a lease prior to 2013 are not subject to the annual renewal fee.)
Non-resident guests accompanied by a member can visit the community center for $7 per person per day.
Fee-based ProgramsAnthem’s fee-based offerings through
the community center—including dozens of activities such as swimming lessons, tennis, soccer, football, basketball—draw non-residents who, since 2009, paid a 20-percent premium over the resident fee. More offerings, such as dance, gymnastics and Tai-chi,

NRPOs Granted Community Center AccessBy Karen [email protected]
Non-residential property owners (NRPOs) in Anthem who live
outside of the community will soon be able to enjoy the same membership privileges as homeowners in the award-winning master-planned community.
At Council’s Jan. 23 meeting, the board unanimously approved non-fee membership benefits for NRPOs, allowing two individual memberships for each owner, with a one-time fee of $10 each.
“This should be a good place to live, work and own a business,” said Council member Ray Norris. “I think it’s a good thing for our community to encourage business people to come, stay and enjoy Anthem, and this community center can help do that.”
Non-residential/commercial property owners pay ACC assessments semi-annually at a rate equivalent to $281.25 per acre, per quarter.
a Perk for a FewNon-residential property owners
will have the option to offer their membership to a “verifiable managing agent”― e.g. the property manager, according to Community Operations Officer Neal Shearer.
Will the gym soon be overrun by NRPOs? Probably not. Shearer estimated just fewer than 200 NRPOs
(See NRPO on Page 17)

have been extended to non-residents.
But, effective Jan. 1, the non-resident premium soared to 30 percent over the resident rate for most offerings. The Dolphins escaped the rate hike, according to Community Center Director Kevin Shaffer. “Their fees [for swim team] are higher on average, and 30 percent was thought to be detrimental to the program,” Shaffer said. Non-resident swim team members will continue to pay a 20 percent premium.
ramadas and FootballFee-based group fitness classes
remain exclusive to members, but ramada rentals are now available to non-residents for $24 for a small ramada and $28 for a large one. A football field renovation fee will likely be assessed each player, and while the exact amount
has not been determined, it will not exceed $15, according to Shaffer. Fees for field lighting increased to $30 from $24.
Council projects guest fees and non-resident fees to generate approximately $88,000 in 2013. io

in the community, many of whom already have community center access as Anthem homeowners. Those who own both residential and non-residential properties are not entitled to additional memberships, as benefits are not transferable to employees or tenants.
“We need to evaluate the program and our Community Center capacities before we consider expanding membership options for tenants or employees of the NRPOs,” Shearer said. “It is a positive first step that the Board wanted to do for the NRPOs.”
Any possible expansion of the program to include tenants or employees, would likely come in the form of a fee-based membership, Shearer told Anthem News. Community Center Director Kevin Shaffer suggested the fee-based program could be modeled after the homeowner guest membership clause which offers a 90-day membership for $90. io

ACC Signs mCSO Long-termThe Anthem
Community Council announced
at its Jan. 23 meeting that an agreement had been reached with Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office to extend the lease at 3701 W. Anthem Way. The decision, approved at a special meeting in December, amends the new lease for a period through 2031.
Council had been in discussion with MCSO
over the lease renewal—originally set to expire in 2016—prior to purchasing the building. MCSO’s commitment to a long-term community presence added value to Council’s decision to buy and renovate the building, a move that had some residents questioning the approximate $3.5-million hit to the enhancement fund.
According to ACC spokesperson Shannon Wallace, the rent for
the substation facility was negotiated at a competitive rate, and MCSO has been offered the option to extend the lease beyond 2031 in five-year increments.
The ACC also agreed to fund some improvements to the space, such as a new exterior door to the MCSO suite, new carpeting and padding, and soundproofing on the interior wall shared with the lobby.

“Crossroads Church, located adjacent to the facilities, has been extremely gracious with us, offering the possibility of sharing space that may be beneficial for NVCA,” Kretzmann said in a letter to parents. The search for a site upon which to build a permanent school is underway and the progress of that project is dependent on the success of fundraising efforts, Kretzmann said. io

Want your own rat? How about a pet bunny? OK, one person’s nuisance
is another’s cuddly friend. From rats to kitty-cats, hundreds of prospective pets will be in the park this weekend at the Animal Extravaganza and Pet Adopt-a-Thon at Anthem Community Park, Saturday.
The event is put on by more than 50 rescue groups under the umbrella of PACC911 in the hope of placing at least 100 animals in loving homes. Last year’s event placed 117 animals into homes.
Bari Mears, president and founder of PACC911 said, “There are so many wonderful animals needing new homes. They are victims of a slow economy and other unfortunate conditions, none of which are the fault of the animals. They surely deserve a second chance at life and a new loving home.”
The event goes beyond adoption with veterinarians on site to answer questions and administer low-cost vaccinations. National Brittany Rescue will offer microchipping for $25. Rescue groups
will be selling a variety of goods for your new or current pet.
If you’re planning to attend the event to adopt an animal, try to bring the entire
family, including your well-behaved dogs. “The dog must like the one at home and the ones at home must accept the new guy,” Mears said. Expect a variety of adoption processes: Some groups offer same-day adoptions, while others require extensive screening including home visits.
To celebrate the event, Anthem Neighborhood Watch will host a pet parade at 11 a.m. Prizes will be given for the Best Watch-Dog Costume, Best Owner/Dog Look-alike, Best
Trickster and Best Criminal Costume. io

The Sonoran Spring is Calling
By Linda and Dr. Dick Buscher [email protected]
Imagine water rushing through dry desert arroyos culminating in cascading waterfalls. A rare sight for most, but typical for hikers of White Tank Regional
Park after a heavy rainstorm.
In the far west valley, this 30,000 acres of lush Sonoran Desert becomes a vast outdoor playground each spring when Valley weather conjures the one-word description―“perfect!”
Most of the park encompasses the White Tank Mountain Range, a rugged vista of deep saw-toothed ridges with peaks rising more than 4,000 feet. Eons of falling water have worn shallow depressions (tanks) in the layers of white granite bedrock giving the mountains its name.
From Serene to extreme More than 240 picnic areas provide the perfect vantage
point for those who simply want to sit, eat and enjoy the
FEbruary 7, 2013 | OUT& IN | 23
annual explosion of wildflowers.
For mountain bikers, the 10-mile competitive track, described as “challenging, strenuous and high-speed outdoor recreation,” offers an alternative to the 25 miles of shared-use trails. Shared-use trails range from 0.9 miles to 7.9 miles, and vary from easy to strenuous.
Forty individual campsites share restroom and shower facilities. (Reservations required.)
Equestrians can make use of a trailer-staging area. For those without their own four-legged ride, the White Tank Riding Stables offers many Western-style riding experiences for all ages.
Hikers and campers can discover petroglyphs created by the ancient Hohokam people throughout the park. The Black Rock Trail actually passes through the site of a Hohokam village. Park rangers often lead group “history hikes,” sharing their vast knowledge of the Hohokam people, as well as the flora and fauna of the area.
Don’t pass up the Visitor Center with its county library, small museum and gift shop. It’s also the hub of the park’s activities.
Get out to the White Tank Regional Park, a great outdoor adventure with a vast choice of activities. The Sonoran Desert spring is calling! io
