Our closing date came up so fast and I never got a chance to address blue tape. This is the term used when you have your walkthrough with the builder a week before closing. There are actually a few different colors of tape depending on what needs to be fixed (drywall, baseboard touch ups, stucco, etc). We did notice a lot of things that needed attention and I’m notorious for holding up the line and backing them up to point out areas that need tape. I told one of my clients recently that I have zero OCD unless I’m at a blue tape walkthrough.
Most people would say “I don’t need a Realtor with me for blue tape”. That couldn’t be more from the truth. A lot of people have anxiety asking for cosmetic fixes and they get caught up in the excitement that they are finally almost homeowners. Also, most of the time, people have no idea what to even be looking for. It’s always a good idea to have an extra pair of eyes at your walkthrough!
1) Make sure you eat before. This could be a 2 hour appointment and you don’t want to be hangry and rushing through your walkthrough.
2) Get a babysitter!
3) Bring water just in case they don’t bring you any.
4) Bring some toilet paper because… You know!
5) Take photos of items you want to remember to check on at your final walkthrough.
6) Bring a list of upgrades you chose. You’ll often forget some of them and you want to make sure you get everything you paid for. It’s also a good idea to visit the home throughout the build so you can catch major issues. I do this for my clients too! In our home the builder put in the wrong baseboards!!
7) Get excited because you’re almost homeowners!!
And of course, if you’re thinking about building a new home, contact me! It doesn’t cost you anything to work with a Realtor on your new build. In fact, I have coupons that will put money back in your pocket!
Feel free to call, text, email or Facebook! I’m always happy to talk new builds.

Welcome to the highly sought after Evergreen Historic District! The wide, tree-lined streets, the gathering of an eclectic variety of bungalow homes, and the quaint, tight knit community of neighbors complete the feel of times past while incorporating the convenience and amenities that a modern family requires. Built in 1949…
this rare basement home has been renovated and added onto since yet special attention was paid to restore the qualities and charm of the original home. The original wood flooring in the formal living room, dining room and family room still exists today as do original windows, moldings and doors. With nearly 3100 square feet of living space, you can rest assured that there is room for the entire family to gather for holidays, celebrations, and visits. The historic warmth of the home is so accommodating and spacious yet cozy and comfortable.
The remodeled gourmet kitchen boasts new stainless appliances, beautiful, new white cabinets with grey counters, white subway tile backsplash, HUGE walk-in pantry and updated tile! The kitchen is perfectly centered in the middle of the home with one of the masters with full bath off to the side (with separate outdoor exit). The main home is the perfect set-up for multi-generational families and we haven’t even talked about the separate guest house yet!
The spacious formal dining room is one-of-a-kind with its rounded “wall of windows” that look out onto one of the most private lots on the street. This oversized, flood irrigated lot offers so much space and lush, mature landscaping! There are 9 fruit trees! There are 3 orange trees, a lemon, a mandarin, a pomegranate, a grapefruit, 2 peach trees, a pecan, a grape vine and a small garden. The home does back the old alley and only owners of homes backing the alley are given access. There are two gates to the alley. The guest house is a 2 bed / 1 bath guest house with an attached workshop / storage building.
The options are endless from large family gatherings to baseball games with the kids on a lot of this size. Enjoy the coming and going of the seasons under the canopy of majestic, mature trees and vibrant green grass and shrubbery. The neighbors are friendly and some have been living in their homes for decades. This tight knit community feel lends itself beautifully to holiday celebrations such as Halloween and the Christmas season. More than 600 children visit Evergreen during Halloween and the streets are lined with lights and decorations immediately following Thanksgiving to welcome the coming Christmas season. If you are looking to rekindle the warmth and homey feeling of a visit to Grandma’s in your every day life then this is it. You are home.
The location is also quite convenient and up and coming. Downtown Mesa is within walking distance and is a great place for dining and entertainment. New businesses have been opened and the light rail is complete. Downtown Mesa is the home of the world renowned Mesa Arts Center, the historical museum, and many highly recommended restaurants including Nunthaporn’s Thai Cuisine, Queens Pizzeria and the original Blue Adobe. The Downtown Mesa association coordinates many events which include the arts, music, and family friendly events. This is a lifetime of fond memories, great neighbors, and charm all wrapped up in beautiful, Historic Downtown Mesa.
