Before the landscaping grew in.
I was there before the model homes were even built. I walked the dirt roads trying to figure out where lots would land — before the mud dried, before the roads even existed. We spent countless hours looking at how the sunlight would cross your back patio. We went over design options together and debated needs vs. wants — which upgrades were genuinely smartest for your family, which lot premium was worth it, which floor plan flip made sense.
We worked through construction configurations together. We stood on countless dirt lots arguing over which view would be better for morning coffee.
I remember before Fry's was built. Before the Camelback extension. Before the corner gas station. When monsoons turned the dirt lots into slip-and-slide drainage rivers and we'd stand at the office windows watching the sky open up. I also sat with you when the interest rates doubled. When prices skyrocketed. When the deal you signed in March looked different by June. We worked through all of it.
Some of you bought your first home at Azure Canyon. Got married there. Brought babies home. Refinanced through three different rate environments. Painted, renovated, planted things that finally took root.
I was there for all of it.
