Pardee Homes' Las Vegas Division Makes New Home Search Easy for Busy Working Mother

    LAS VEGAS, NV, June 30, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Las Vegan Monique Frye didn't expect that buying her first home would be a fun experience. But, that's exactly what it ended up to be, thanks to Pardee Homes' Online Sales Division, on-site sales agents and construction personnel and Pardee Home Loans. For more information, visit www.pardeehomes.com/trailridge.

"It has been a really fun experience and completely not what I expected," said Frye.

As an accountant, Frye understood the benefits of purchasing a home in time to take advantage of the Home Buyer Tax Credit for first-time home buyers and initially started looking at short sales, only to compare the price of a short sale to that of a brand new home and realizing that buying new made more sense for her.

She began her search for a newly-built home with a simple online inquiry and one of Pardee's online sales counselors quickly provided her with information on neighborhoods that met her criteria.

"I visited two Pardee neighborhoods and found the home I was looking for at Trail Ridge," said Frye. "Next, I applied for a loan from Pardee Home Loans online, and, again very quickly they provided me with the information I needed. Pardee has really taken care of me. The online features were easy to use and I still had the option of speaking to a Pardee representative either by phone or in person at every step."

Frye and her two children are looking forward their new home, complete with a bedroom for each, new stainless-steel appliances and convenient access to the community swimming pool and playground at Trail Ridge.

"The kids can't wait to go swimming and I am looking forward to having a new house that's all ours," said Frye.
