Default Thanks for the warm welcome !!!

Hello everyone,

Bruce and I wanted to thank everyone who welcomed us with open arms at the Gillybration this past Friday at Evans Prairie as well as all the help and welcomes on TOTV. Even though we had tons of hiccups and problems during our design appointment we have finished it and hope the house ends up our dream house. Not happy with the problems with not doing the stretches we were promised in writing, and at first request the villages is not willing to do anything at all to compensate us other than they offered us the ability to choose another lot, AT CURRENT RAISED PRICES. We had our lot on Vicksburg Ave. reserved for 5 months, and at the design appointment they said "so sorry, so sad, and sorry we promised in writing and on a layout, but you can't do those stretches, but we will stretch it as much as we can". Needless to say we were not happy campers. On top of that, our first designer was desperate to get out early and insisted that we had to make all of our choices in one day and finalized the next, and was tired, disinterested and rushing us from one house to another before we were ready. She even started packing up her stuff before 4 p.m. the first day while we were trying to bring up a couple of changes we wanted. We had had it and refused to deal with her anymore and got a new one assigned. This has not been a heavenly visit or time for us, and our design was more like "Dante's Inferno". SO MANY DROPPED BALLS !!! Our sales rep unfortunately told the designer we were so prepared and sophisticated that we will make snap decisions...our designer took that way too literally in our opinions. BUT GILLY'S, WE REALLY ARE NICE PEOPLE WHO ARE EASY TO GET ALONG WITH NO MATTER WHAT THE VILLAGES EVER TELLS YOU GUYS !!! I think we were too easy going it it came back to bite us later on. Oh well, it is over and our close is scheduled for April 10th...we will be coming in regullary to check progress so keep us informed of any get togethers. We hope to meet others we didn't get a chance to talk to or meet this past week... Thanks again, Marcy and Bruce Snell
