Over the years, depending on how busy the bullding crews were, we potential customers were offered a variety of options. We bought an already built new home as our first one here and it was pretty close to what we would have chosen if we had full choice. We enjoyed it for four years and built our next one. We signed just two weeks before full choices were offered and missed the angst of all those choices. We found a model we loved and contracted to have our new home be built to duplicate it. We were pleased with the first one, and pleased with the second one. All of our home but one, from the beginning of our marriage. Seven or eight of them, we have seen built. We have lived closeby while our children built two homes too, so we have had a lot of experience with building homes for ourselves.
We have enjoyed both of our homes here and felt that any imperfection or fault was repaired immediately and felt the warranty was the absolute best.
On the walk through on our home in Hadley we greeted the builder with a list of small items and he spent a moment or two on his cell phone and then walked us through our new home. Almost immediately trucks pulled up and someone marched in with a missing sink stopper, someone else was fixing a grout line on the counter top and someone else was replacing the light in our pole lamp.
On our second home a delivery service for our new dryer gouged a big chunk of concrete out of the front threshold. I called warranty explaining I only needed the name of the contractor as it was NOT their fault. They fixed it anyway without any quarrel.
I like our home here, I like how it was built. I like the lifestyle and know we paid a little more for the house than if we lived off campus. I think this is a very fun place to live and I love the way it is run and maintained. If anyone would have told me I would enjoy life as much as I do at the age of 75, I would have been darned skeptical.
I feel you can count on any choice here about homes to be a good choice.
I don't work for the developer, either.
