Desert Mountain Real Estate

There are so many great golf club communities in Scottsdale, it is hard to choose. But there are a few things that set Desert Mountain apart from the pack:

1. Desert Mountain is the only club in Scottsdale (actually the world) with SIX Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses
2. Desert Mountain is an entirely private golf club for members only. It is exclusive without being stuffy. It has a casual elegance.
3. Desert Mountain is known for its award winning restaurants. There are six private members-only restaurants.
4. Desert Mountain Club will be turned over to members in March 2011. Members will be entirely in control of the club and operations.
5. Desert Mountain is a very safe community. All homes are DOUBLE gated. There is a guard gate at the entrance, plus an electronic gate at each village.

If you are considering purchasing a home in a Scottsdale golf community, call me at 1-800-300-0263. I'd be happy to show you different golf communities and explain the differences between them.

Are you living it up in Desert Mountain AZ? It is not that uncommon for people to assume that Desert Mountain is for the older, retired crowd. However, this is not true at all. This double gated Scottsdale golf community has a wide range of homeowners.

There is so much to do as a Desert Mountain Club member. No matter what your age is, you can enjoy all of the great amenities that this community has to offer its club members. There are magnificent tennis facilities, six Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses, six clubhouses, a spa & fitness center, as well as hiking and walking trails nearby where you can enjoy the natural sonoran desert landscape that surrounds this North Scottsdale area.

I have noticed that Desert Mountain is attracting more and more wealthy people in their late 30′s and early 40′s. Actually, the last handful of clients that I have worked with were right within that age range. They were each looking for a custom built luxury home in a resort-style community that would fit their active lifestyles. I could not think of a better fit for them. The Desert Mountain clubhouses host a variety of social gatherings, dining events, and programs for the children on a very regular basis. These events give the adults a chance to meet other business professionals while the children enjoy making new friends that also live in the community.

The Desert Mountain Scottsdale Golf Club will be turning over its ownership to the members as of March 1, 2011. So of course there is a lot of speculation about what will happen at turnover and how the club will be affected. These are my top 5 predictions:

1. Desert Mountain will remain a very exclusive, private, members-only club. The public will still not be allowed to play on any of the golf courses or use any facilities. The Club will continue to live up to its reputation as Arizona’s premiere private Club designed by Jack Nicklaus himself.
2. The cost of memberships will be reduced but the monthly dues will not. Almost every other club in Arizona has reduced their membership fees during this economy to stimulate business and encourage new members. $325,000 per membership is an extremely high price and should be adjusted to reflect current conditions.
3. The members will remove the guest golf restrictions that are currently in the Club Bylaws. At the moment, the same guest is only allowed to play Desert Mountain 6 times per year. This rule is not enforced in any manner and will thus be removed. Frankly, the club benefits significantly from guest golf fees and they should encourage members to bring guests.
4. The guest golf fees will be reduced. Currently there is a $160 charge in season for a guest to play golf with a member. This is quite a bit higher than most private club and is a common complaint of members. I am sure this fee will be reduced once the members take control.
5. Bob Jones will continue as Club President. Bob has done a wonderful job and the club financially broke even last year based on regular club revenues. Substantial Transfer Fees provided the club with additional income on top of regular club dues. This was a major accomplishment in this economy and many clubs were envious.

When making a Desert Mountain Real Estate purchase it is important that you choose the right real estate agent for the job. I often ask my clients why they chose me to be their Realtor when they purchased their new Scottsdale homes. It is always interesting to hear what prompted them to call me. Clients will commonly mention:

• Desert Mountain is a unique community and it was important to for them to work with a real estate agent who really knows Desert Mountain including all Villages, Clubhouses, Amenities and Membership Structures.
• Most clients like the fact that I previously practiced real estate law. As a former real estate attorney, I know exactly how the transaction should proceed during escrow.
• This is a major purchase, they are spending a lot of money, and they want a true full time real estate professional. This is not the time to use a part-time agent. They wanted a top multi-million dollar producer.

I would be happy to answer any of your Desert Mountain Real Estate questions. Let me put my experience to work for you.

Most people considering Desert Mountain Real Estate properties often ask about the guest policies for golf memberships. This is a very important question for golfers because they need to know that it will be OK to bring clients or business associates onto the six Jack Nicklaus courses.

Each Desert Mountain Deferred Equity Golf Membership or DEGM is entitled to up to 12 guest rounds per month, with up to 30 rounds per season. “Family guests” are not subject to these limitations. Between September and May, which is considered high season, guests can set tee times between 8:00-9:00 am or anytime after 10:00 am. (9:00-10:00 am tee times are reserved for members only). During the summer months, June through August, there are no guest restrictions.

The Desert Mountain Golf Club is a wonderful place to build your business relationships, impress clients and network your way to greater success. A DEGM is your entry to an exclusive group of the titans of business.

For more information about all amenities offered with a Desert Mountain club membership or if you have any questions about purchasing your next Scottsdale Golf Home visit my website at www.DesertMountainHomesOnline.com. Feel free to call me at (800) 300-0263 with any questions.
