Why Wild Rose?
Wild Rose Realty is a full-service residential real estate company that specializes in connecting families with new homes built by Apache Builders. Apache Builders has been building fine homes in Salt Lake Valley for over 30 years. Quality and individuality is captured in every one of the hundreds of luxury homes built by Apache.
Uniting Friendship in Real Estate
Wild Rose Realty’s owner and principal broker is John Kay Pehrson. Apache Builders’ owner and chief general contractor is Gary DeRose. Wild Rose Realty and Apache Builders work together to provide you access to Salt Lake Valley’s residential real estate. John and Gary, childhood friends, have united their experience in real estate and home building to get you into the perfect home, and have a little fun along the way.
John and Gary were raised in the small town life of Springville, Utah. They became best friends by the age of five and have strengthened their friendship many times over to the present day. Gary graduated from Springville High School and received his degree from Weber State University. John also graduated from Springville High School and received his degree from Brigham Young University. John has been a resident of Teton Valley, Idaho since 1973. He has recently moved to Bluffdale, Utah to fulfill the long-awaited dream of working with his high school buddy.
A History You Can Trust
John and Gary chose different career paths following their university degrees. In 1969, John discovered the thrill of entrepreneurship co-founding an internationally acclaimed fly fishing resort on the historically rich Teton River. Shortly after building a thriving resort business, John simultaneously moved forward with his interest in real estate by becoming an associate broker for American Realty West (based in Driggs, Idaho) in 1982. With American Realty West, John has worked in developing and selling homes and vacation properties in Teton Valley, near Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He is now licensed as an associate broker with All West Realty. For over twenty years, John was also a partner in Teton Valley Lodge Sites and Teton Valley Ventures, two real estate development companies. John’s twenty-four years in the real estate business have qualified him in personally assisting clients with the lively nature of home selling and buying.
Its About People
Over thirty years in the resort business and twenty-four in the real estate business has taught John the essential nature of customer service in developing life-long customers and friends. Above the business relationships, John is proud to focus on the individual and works to create lasting friendships with his customers.
Why Buy An Apache Home?
Have you ever been to Utah’s “Parade of Homes” celebration? Then you probably admired, with many other Utah natives, the exquisite individuality that Apache Builders places in every home they build, whether the home sells for $200,000 or $2,000,000. Apache’s owner, Gary DeRose, personally inspects every aspect of each home he builds before he gives his stamp of approval.
Gary expects the best and only sells the best. One of the trademarks of Apache Builders is that Gary will build a home to suit any buyer, or he will provide dozens of home plans for the buyer to choose from. He works directly with the homebuyer each and every step of the way during construction to make sure they get the personal touches they desire in their home. Try getting that from one of the “box home builders” in Salt Lake County! Apache offers truly personal service.
Gary is his own construction supervisor. He leaves nothing to chance. Even though Apache prides itself on personal service, they have no shortage of quality lot inventory on which to build your home. Gary has over $10,000,000 in lot inventory for 2006 specifically chosen with his homebuyers in mind. These lots are situated in some of the most prestigious and convenient locations in Salt Lake and Utah County. You will want to check out The Villas at Sterling Village located within one mile of Sandy, Utah’s South Towne Mall; Pacific Bay at Spring View Farms, located in Bluffdale, Utah which is the third phase of the much publicized Spring View Farms community; and Highland Village, a quiet neighborhood next to the new Highland City Town Center.
