Without question, we've all seen it on many products; sodas, crackers, cookies, chips, candy the phrase; "new look same great taste." These days you may be able to slap a similar label across Trend Homes, one of Arizona's leading home builders; "new company, new owners same great homes!" With the recent purchase of Trend Homes by the private equity firm Najafi Cos, Trend Homes is out to prove it is a new company that doesn't have any of the old issues.



As 2008 began, Trend Homes after undergoing much of the same dilemmas many Arizona home builders were being forced to undergo, was close to having to hang an out of business sign on their front door. The problem wasn't because Trend Homes was building inferior homes; in fact, the opposite is true; Trend Homes was ranked Highest in Quality by Phoenix, Arizona Home Builders in 2007. People simply were not buying homes.

Now within the ownership of the private equity firm Najafi Cos, Trend Homes has improved its appeal taking it beyond lovely homes in the Phoenix Valley but now offers incentives and programs that other Arizona Home Builders are not offering, including Pre-Approved Bank Short Sales; Trend has arranged with banks to Pre-approve short sales. With this guaranteed pre-approval, Arizona home buyers can now circumvent the would be lengthy waiting process of getting approval.

Alongside the many incentives and programs Trend Homes now offers homebuyers, Trend Homes, now under the ownership umbrella of Najafi Cos offers some of the most competitive interest rates available today. In addition, Arizona home buyers will now save up to 40 percent on new homes by taking advantage of the Pre-Approved Short Sale.

The buying of the company names Trend Homes and Classic Communities with the debt by the two companies by the equity firm Najafi Cos in first quarter of 2008 affords this Arizona home builder the chance for a fresh start. Additionally, with the new beginning that Trend has, they're taking the opportunity to give Arizona home buyers the chance to get a new start in a new and lovely home with fresh incentives, fresh savings, and fresh down payment opportunities.

With the many transformations that have occurred at Trend Homes as well as Classic Communities since the purchasing of the two companies in January of 2008 by Najafi Cos, you'll find new programs available including the Paint for Your Down Payment program which permits Arizona home buyers to lower their down payment in exchange for painting their new home. This is a first of this type of program for Arizona home builders.

There are many things Arizona home buyers know they can expect from Trend Homes. And as a leading Arizona home builder, Trend Homes considers these expectations very important. Even with new owners, (Najafi Cos purchased Trend Homes in Jan. 2008) residents of Arizona can still expect the same from Trend Homes; beautiful homes, made with quality products by skilled craftsmen. As an applauded Arizona home builder, Trend is devoted to YOUR satisfaction.

Now under the ownership umbrella of the private equity firm Najafi Cos, Trend Homes now has the kind of credit that allows the company to have a new start which is both beneficial for Trend AND beneficial for Arizona home buyers as Trend Homes is able to offer certain programs and incentives other Arizona home builders cannot such as Pre-Approved Bank Short sales and very appealing prices on foreclosed homes in Arizona.
