I wrote a post on how I prepared for my Scottsdale condo search. Doing a Scottsdale property search online, I was able to get a really good feel for the city by viewing the maps showing the location of each different complex. With today’s online mapping capabilities, I could also get a good idea of how close the pool was. I felt I had an idea of what the buildings looked like, although I was surprised by a few of them (good and bad). That’s why real estate agents will always be needed; you just can’t get a true idea of a property without seeing it in person.
I came prepared with my own print-outs where I put pictures of the location to the pool and wrote my own notes prior to even viewing the properties. I started learning the different names of the Scottsdale condos that allowed pets and renting. My REALTOR provided me with her print-outs and I combined them with my own paperwork. When we viewed a property I wrote notes on my papers about each unit.
I have a note written for a Village Four condo located in McCormick Ranch at 9396 E. Purdue Ave., Scottsdale AZ 85258. Yet for the life of me I cannot remember viewing this particular unit. It was at the top of our price range and I wrote that it was a gorgeous area and unit but something (I’m guessing the pool) was a couple blocks away.
My mind is blank but the print-out states it was a 2nd floor condo (all rooms on the same level). It also states that it was built in 1990 and had 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I don’t have any other paperwork on it and I’m wondering if I wrote notes on the wrong sheet.
It sounded like a nice unit but I sure don’t remember seeing it and it wasn’t on our short list. If you’d like to search Scottsdale condominiums click the link.
