Why we’re here: our clients
When the real estate market took a nosedive in 2006, and people suddenly realized they were alarmingly upside down in their home mortgages, Realtor/Broker Steve Rider found himself with dozens of panicked homeowners and potential buyers unable to navigate the treacherous new financial waters. He was swamped with serious questions:
• Could his clients now afford a new home?
• How would they sell their old home?
• Should they sell low, at the bottom of the market?
• Should they keep their old home?
• Could they lease the old home, buy a new home, and wait out the downturn for higher profits later? The unexpected answers were there, in the dark days of 2007. It would take an unprecedented partnership between home builders and buyers to make it work. And that partnership DID come together. The solution was fueled by logic and built on experience: Builder Trade In was born. Growth of the program was immediate and sustained. Today, the Builder Trade In Global Network is based in Phoenix, Arizona, and the organization continues to expand under the skilled direction of Steve Rider. The leadership team includes:
Vicki Tverberg, Chief Executive Officer
Janet Burns, Technology Director;
Nancie Hamilton-Cole, Recruitment Director, Rhonda Weinstein, Agent Services & Retention Director
