Global TV News from Calgary were here last week filming The Lavine Team with current and recent clients throughout the Greater Phoenix Real Estate Area. Global TV Anchor/Reporter Reid Feist and Camera Man extraordinaire Dani Lantela were down from Calgary and  together with their production crew back home they put together a wonderful series on Canadians buying properties in Arizona.

In Part1 the crew accompanied us with our clients Calgary Firefighter Tony & Cruise Line Manager Larissa on their trek to find the right little piece of desert paradise that they have been dreaming about for some time.

Tony & Larissa had been to Greater Phoenix before and familiarized themselves with various communities throughout the valley looking at houses and condos. After weighing the pros and cons to the often common question: “should I buy a house or a condo?” they settled in on a resort atmosphere condo in Surprise that is in the NW corner of the valley and very popular with Canadians and locals alike. We had sold several condos in this complex before……our clients that chose their vacation home in there all loved their condo, the community and everything that it offered.

The offer was written by us and it was accepted by the Canadian owner of this condo community while the news crew were here.We negotiated blinds, ceiling fans, complete appliance package and a few other goodies to be included in the purchase. They can’t wait to come back to their new ‘home away from home’ and start shopping for furniture and accessories which by the way are a lot more affordable here than back home.
