A Strong Foundation
Prior to Fain Signature Group, every generation of the Fain Family has been instrumental in building Lonesome Valley.
Portions of the Rafter 11 Ranch land is sold to the state highway division for 10 cents on the dollar of its value to ensure that 69A would reach from Cordes Junction to Prescott through Dewey | Humboldt and Lonesome Valley.
Understanding the need to ensure the quality and amount of water that would be required for a growing valley, Norman and Bill started developing the local water resources which would later be integrated as the Town of Prescott Valley's public works program.
In 2006, Fain Signature Group and partners developed a 280 acres master planned community of mixed residential options to Dewey-Humboldt known as "Arizona's Country Town". Quailwood brought more than 1190 single family homes and townhouses at attainable price points.
To bring well-paying jobs and services to the area, over 148 acres of ranch land is purchased and rezoned to M1, M2 and C3 to provide opportunities for light industrial business to locate in Prescott Valley— bringing many higher paying jobs to the region.
