Buyers Beware - Another Builder Having Financial Difficulties in the Phoenix Valley!

I received the following notice today from the Department of Real Estate:

"1. The Department has been notified that Randall Martin Homes' subdivision lot holdings are going into foreclosure. According to Randall Bury, owner of Randall Martin Homes, the company is "walking away" from its holdings in Marley Park, Roosevelt Park, Valley at Dobson Crossing (aka Portello at Dobson Crossing) and Higley Park. It is anticipated that the lien holder(s) will assume ownership.

No complaints have been filed regarding Randall Martin Homes; however, we believe that it is important to alert Consumers and Industry of the company's intentions. ADRE is proactively taking steps to ensure consumer protection. Should consumers have questions or concerns, please contact Cindy Ferrin, Manager-Development Services at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it ."

2. Audit of Re/Max 2000 Completed -The Department of Real Estate has concluded an audit of the company's trust accounts and records and finds them to be in good standing."

It is so important that buyers purchasing new homes be aware of the status of builders in this market. Several builders are struggling, and problems can be felt along the way by the buyers of those homes. I subscribe to the email alert from the Arizona Department of Real Estate in order to be aware of problems in our industry.

As for me, I try and keep on top of what's happening and would never knowingly take you to a builder that was having known financial problems. Yet another reason for buyers to call me when looking to purchase a new home.
