About. Janice Galvin and Ben Villa have been partners for 30 years. As Associate Brokers, they each have advanced buyer and seller training credentials to better serve their valued clients. Although the pair sells homes in Mesa, Tempe, Scottsdale, Ahwatukee, Chandler, and Gilbert, they specialize in cooperative housing in South Scottsdale. As Janice says, cooperative housing is “The best kept secret in Arizona.”

‌Two Co-op Communities to choose from.  Janice and Ben can show you homes in the communities of Scottsdale East Homes and Consolodated Cooperatives of Scottsdale East.  Both are located within minutes of Sky Harbor Airport, Arizona State University, Tempe Marketplaces, and other attractions. No matter which community you choose, you’ll enjoy convenience, a high quality of life, and a rich history. 

• Consolidated Cooperatives of Scottsdale East. As a historical Arizona landmark, the seven complexes are made up of twelve 3 bedroom townhouses, four 2 bedroom townhouses, sixteen 2 bedroom apartments, sixteen 1 bedroom apartments, and two studio apartments. There are 7 swimming pools, 2 of which are heated for year round enjoyment! Get some excerscise on the sport court or relax by the picturesque koi pond. This property is pet-friendly and members are encouraged to stay involved with their co-op by attending board meetings, participating in committees, and volunteering when needed.

• Scottsdale East Homes. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by all the features and amenities available to you at Scottsdale East Homes. The grass is green here all year round under the shade of majestic palm trees. Visit the on site library with thousands of volumes to choose from or tone up in the excercise room. Four swimming pools (one heated) are available for your enjoyment. For entertainment, grill up some dinner at one of the BBQ pits, then play cards in the card room with scheduled games for all.

Benefits of Co-Op Living. Cooperatives offer a unique living experience for individuals. The benefits of cooperative living are vast! For starters, co-op homes are 1/3 the price of everything else in Scottsdale, which offers affordability without sacrificing functionality or aesthetics. Since everyone’s an owner, everyone has an equal say in how the co-op is run. Both of these communities have been co-ops since the 1960s, which means the concept is proven. 

So many bonuses. The free Scottsdale Trolly stops in both communities to take you to ballgames, Tempe Marketplace, shopping centers, restaurants, and more! A small monthly fee covers taxes, water, sewage, garbage, pest control, full repair of A/C and heating units, water heaters, and the in wall portion of your plumbing and electrical, as well as use of the pools, exercise room, spacious laundry rooms and many other amenities.

Cash Only. How do co-ops maintain their affordability? It’s because they’re cash only, no rentals allowed. You won’t get a title, but rather a certificate of ownership in the co-op. This means that you can’t get a loan against the property, hence the cash-only purchase stipulation. 

Cash-only purchases give you tons of benefits, though, like NO escrow or closing costs! The only out-of-pocket expense is the credit approval fee, so you don’t have to worry about making costly repairs. Still, after you’ve made your purchase, you can do what you’d like to the inside of your home, which gives you the option to fully personalize your space. Cooperative living gives you peace of mind!

Convenient. Since cooperatives offer maintenance-free living in the heart of Scottsdale, the homes are perfect for retirees, winter visitors, and those looking for a worry-free propert oyr second home. With a certificate of membership for life, you can sell your certificate or even put it in your will. Since cooperatives aren’t rental properties, everyone watches out for their neighbors. Plus, with a close proximity to freeways, shopping, and the option to use money from an existing home equity loan to finance your new property, what’s not to love?
