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!

As 2008 began, Trend Homes after undergoing much of the same dilemmas many Arizona home builders were being forced to undergo, was close to having to hang an out of business sign on their front door. The problem wasn't because Trend Homes was building inferior homes; in fact, the opposite is true; Trend Homes was ranked Highest in Quality by Phoenix, Arizona Home Builders in 2007. People simply were not buying homes.

Under the ownership of the private equity firm Najafi Cos, Trend Homes has increased its appeal beyond beautiful homes across the Phoenix Valley but now offers programs that other Arizona Home Builders do not, including Pre-Approved Bank Short Sales; Trend has teamed up with banks to Pre-approve short sales. With this pre-approval, home buyers can avoid the otherwise lengthy waiting process of getting approval.

Alongside the many incentives and programs Trend Homes now offers homebuyers, Trend Homes, now under the ownership umbrella of Najafi Cos offers some of the most competitive interest rates available today. In addition, Arizona home buyers will now save up to 40 percent on new homes by taking advantage of the Pre-Approved Short Sale.

The purchase of the names Trend Homes and Classic Communities as well as the debt by the two sister companies by the private equity firm Najafi Cos in January of 2008 allows this Arizona home builder the opportunity to start fresh. Additionally, with the fresh new start that Trend has been given, they are taking the opportunity to offer Arizona home buyers the opportunity to get a fresh start in a new home with new incentives, new savings, and new 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 many things Arizona home buyers know they can expect from Trend Homes. And as a leading Arizona home builder, Trend Homes considers these expectations very important. Even with new owners, (Najafi Cos purchased Trend Homes in Jan. 2008) residents of Arizona can still expect the same from Trend Homes; beautiful homes, made with quality products by skilled craftsmen. As an applauded Arizona home builder, Trend is devoted 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.
