Real Estate Notes, Feb. 21

Linda Bauch

Longtime Realtor Linda Bauch has moved her license to ERA Matt Fischer Realty with Broker Michael Hall. Bauch is located at the agency's Yuma office, 2755 S. 4th Ave., Suite 100, and can be reached at 344-2550, Ext. 3041, by cell at 580-8000 or visit propertiesbylinda.com.

  Bauch was with Creative Concepts Realty the past eight years. She is an associate broker, G.R.I., and was president of the Yuma Association of Realtors in 2002. She continues to serve on the organization's executive board of directors and numerous other committees.

Realtor goes independent

The real estate office of Terry Steen-Schneider, formerly with Realty Executives, has gone independent and is now the Steen Team Realty Inc. The office remains at 2450 S. 4th Ave., Suite 100-A, in the Crescent Center. For more information, call 726-2223 or visit TwiceTheService.com.

  Steen-Schneider said that while she was happy with Realty Executives, "it was time to go out on our own to be able to expand our markets on the sales side of our business and better service our clients on the property management side."

  Already, the office has seen increased efficiency in the property management department by being able to handle all aspects of the business in-house. Landlords are getting their funds earlier and more time is now available to service rentals, Steen-Schneider said.

  The Steen Team Realty includes Steen-Schneider as the designated broker, Robert Tuggle handles property management, and Nabile Simo and Rosie Armenta handle all aspects of real estate sales.

55-and-older development now allows RVs

Sky Vista Estates, a gated subdivision being developed for those 55 and older off 32nd Street on Avenue 5-1/2E southwest of Country Roads, announced it is modifying its original policy of not allowing recreational vehicles. Originally, the 74-lot subdivision was restricted to double-wide manufactured homes with garages and included lot ownership.

  RVs will now be allowed so lot owners will have more time during this economic slump to arrange their finances and eventually purchase a home, said Sky Vista owner Neil Scheuneman.

  He said he also is offering lot financing to all buyers. Canadians who believe their currency will increase in
value versus the American dollar may thus receive more value for their currency when their loan is repaid.

  The development includes a clubhouse and pool and provides a variety of activities for residents.
