<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px;">Welcome Home to Silverleaf Arizona</span></div><div style="color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Scottsdale’s real estate has taken yet another turn toward ultimate magnificence with this recently available luxury home in Silverleaf AZ. This Estate residence on lot 2401 is 2.75 acres set in the heart of the exclusive North Scottsdale community of Silverleaf. This custom estate home sits in the intimate Horseshoe Canyon which boasts ultimate privacy, as well as stunning views that one associates with the exclusive Silverleaf Community, including panoramas of the McDowell Mountains, the private golf course and the city lights below. Situated on a south-west-facing homesite, the elevation allows for stunning views of golf, city lights and sunsets.</div><div style="color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">This rural Mediterranean home has everything one would expect from a luxury residence. As you cross the bridge of the private drive and pass through the gates of the estate, it is easy to imagine you have been transported to a villa in the south of Spain. Cobblestones and Spanish tile lend themselves to an Old World elegance not frequently found this side of the Atlantic. An indoor ‘Street Scape’ that would make any international traveler feel at home offers a quaint entertaining area or a place to escape, and is just one of many unique features that bring to life this European élan. Old fashioned vendor carts and a small table and chairs can make this reminiscent of a street fair, while the enclosure is sealed from outdoor elements. The Street Scape leads into the south wing where the additional bedrooms are located. This section of the house would be ideal as a children’s wing. Perfectly situated with a central play area and an additional craft room, it is also conveniently located near the laundry room. There is a private exit that leads to the outdoor play area, and this fenced-in section with an in-ground trampoline keeps children safe by not allowing access to the driveway.</div><div style="color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The adults will certainly not be outdone by the little ones – this home has an ideal entertainment area on the lower level. A large game room and wet bar are only the beginning of this multi-faceted floor. There is a theater, as well as a separate media room. A private room for cards and an enclosed section of the game room set up for virtual golf, ensure that every interest will be covered. Two additional bedrooms are on this level, as well as an exercise studio complete with locker room on the north side. Covered patios along the entire west side of the house provide breathtaking views of the grounds, as well as convenient access to the grass yard, fountains, swimming pool and massage room.</div><div style="color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.571em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The color and materials of this home lend themselves to the desert landscape and, combined with the outdoor gardens and landscaping, create an unrivaled visual experience. The wrought iron fencing provides security without interrupting the views. Style blends easily with the understated opulence of a 13,865 square foot home which is as beautiful as it is livable.

<div style="text-align: center;">SCOTTSDALE REAL ESTATE COMPANY IMPLEMENTS CUTTING EDGE <br />
TECHNOLOGY IN IT’S REAL ESTATE MARKETING.</div><br />
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, NOVEMBER, 15, 2010 - Ventana Fine Properties of Scottsdale will be implementing “QR-codes” into their Property Signs and marketing materials. “QR codes” stand for “Quick Response”. They are 2 dimensional bar codes ( versus the 1 dimensional UPC codes ) and they are readable on many of today’s smart phones with the download of the proper free software. <br />
The QR codes can store information as simple as the Ventana Fine Properties website, office address, or a Realtor’s name & phone number or even the basic information about a property such as number bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage and price. Once a cell phone photographs, scans & reads a QR code it can immediately connect customers to a website or an online video to convey the information you want them to see.<br />
For your cell phone to be able to read QR Codes you will need to have QR Code bar code reading software installed on it. There are many websites that offer the option of downloading via PC and then transferring to your phone, or visiting with your with your smart phone via browser for direct download and installation. You can download both “QR” bar code Creators and Readers. One such company is www.qrstuff.com.<br />
The technical specifications for a QR Code are set down in the ISO-18004 standard so they are the same all over the world. Some things to consider when creating your bar codes; the largest standard QR Code is a Version 40 symbol that has 177x177 modules in size and can hold up to 4296 characters of alphanumeric data (theoretically) compared to 25 characters for a Version 1 QR Code. <br />
With today's current cell phone cameras it is best to stick to a Version 5 or lower with the actual code symbol at least 2 cm ( .85 inches across) or larger. Ventana Fine properties will be implementing its “QR” symbols on property signs at least 3 - 6 inches in size so they can be easily photographed from a short distance. <br />
QR codes have been big in Japan for years and introduced into Europe a while back. The US Postal Service has been using it for a few years and finally launched a full service Bar code program last fall. They have already processed 28 billion pieces of mail with it over the past year.<br />
QR codes will probably be a cell phone novelty for the immediate future but will soon become a sophisticated marketing tool for the future with the explosive growth of today's smart phones. Ventana Fine Properties is one of many companies that likes to remain on the cutting edge of today’s technologies while constantly searching for innovative marketing solutions to offer to its real estate customers .<br />

SCOTTSDALE REAL ESTATE FIRM ASSISTS AREA COMPANIES IN MOVING THEIR MOST VALUABLE ASSETS . . .<br />
<br />
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, NOVEMBER 22, 2010 - Ventana Fine Properties (VFP) of Scottsdale is redefining relocation services by ramping up its extensive Corporate Relocation Program. Through their unique relocation solution, the Flourishing Family, VFP offers a dynamic approach to assisting valley companies and their relocating employees.<br />
The department is headed-up by Kerri Callidora, Ventana’s Director of Relocation Services, who has helped more than 2000 families find homes of their own. VFP is a member of Employee Relocation Council (ERC) and Leading Real Estate Companies of the World; an international relocation network with more than 600 exclusive members of the nation’s independent companies. <br />
Shearer says, “Relocation is a lifestyle transition that affects the entire family, the employee and the hiring company alike, with little support from the real estate community. The Flourishing Family™ – a unique relocation solution for family minded professionals is the answer for coming along side and embracing both of these family units by providing concierge services, before, during and after a move takes place, which are invaluable to all parties involved.”<br />
VFP’s Corporate Relocation Program is dedicated to both the individual and the hiring company, providing unparalleled concierge service. This benefits the company by reducing employee stress and downtime during the moving process and also assists companies in attracting new talent from different markets.<br />
<br />
Carefully selected world-class relocation materials, which consist of a compilation of publications and digital information on DVD can be requested through the VFP website <a href="http://www.ventanafineproperties.com/relocation_services.asp">www.ventanafineproperties.com/relocation_services.asp</a> or by contacting the office directly at<br />
