We signed a contract to purchase a new home in Gilbert almost a year ago. We deposited $20,000 earnest money. Under the terms of the purchase contract we had fourteen days to qualify for financing with the homebuilder’s preferred lender.

My wife and I are retiring, and moving out of the Valley to our mountain home in Prescott. We have had several disputes with our neighbor in the past few years, and we would not want to have any business dealings with our neighbor in the sale of our home.

We are renting a house in Surprise from an investment owner. The lease does not expire until next April. We recently received notice that there will be a foreclosure sale in January.

I sold my home in Glendale two years ago. At the time I sold my home I had a $4,600 credit card judgment lien against me which I thought would be paid off by my title company at closing. The title company, however, made a mistake and did not pay the $4,600 credit card judgment at closing.

We are purchasing a condominium in a subdivision project in Mesa. The subdivision project is to be a master planned retirement community. The developer is requiring, however, that we pay the entire $98,000 cash at the beginning of the contract in order to get the cash discount to $98,000. Under the public report approved by the Arizona Department of Real Estate, the $98,000 will not even be placed in escrow, but will be immediately released to the developer.

We are sending you this letter because we tried to reach you via e-mail but we are "somewhat elderly-computer challenged." We have a home in East Mesa with a beautiful view of the Superstition Mountains.

We have owned forty acres of land for many years in the Lake Pleasant area. A dirt road running over this land has been used by the public as a short cut to Lake Pleasant. The traffic volume on this road is getting higher every year. In addition, we are now thinking about subdividing this forty acres. We want to fence off the road and prevent further use of the road by the public. Can we fence off the road, or has the road become a public highway?

Last March we signed a contract to purchase a new home in the Thunderbird Park area of North Phoenix. The purchase price was $625,000. The homebuilder is now selling the same home in the subdivision for $585,000 with $50,000 in incentives to the buyer.

My husband is an airman at Luke Air Force Base who is being transferred to Iraq for at least a year. We have our home in Glendale listed for sale, and I am concerned that we will get a good offer to purchase our home while my husband is not available. Our listing broker has suggested that my husband execute a power of attorney giving me the authority to sell the home while my husband is gone.
