The Petersens Choose Southern Homes….Again!
As a career military family, Bill and Mary have had their share of homes. However, with a married daughter and four grandchildren, they were sure it was time to upgrade their home so there could be room for everyone.
They originally began looking for an existing home, and then a new home, and 30 homes later, they still could not quite find what they wanted. That all changed one day when they happened upon a Southern Homes community and the perfect home for their extended family.
The Petersen’s decided to proceed with Southern Home’s Laurel floor plan. “With the sunroom and bonus room options there is plenty of room for the grandchildren and I still get my man cave,” Bill chuckled.
Bill and Mary had previous experience with Southern Homes in the 90’s with the first home they built. “It was a fine home. But we are happy with the improvements that Southern Homes has made on their building and design. We also went with Southern Homes because of how professional they were from the beginning when we first met with the sales agent, Sandra Douglas. She was open about the whole process and allowed us to walk through homes that were being built. The quality was excellent and frankly the price…you just couldn’t beat, “ Bill commented.
“The lot we go to pick was perfect,“ Mary noted. “It had plenty of room and backed up to green space, which gave us the privacy that we needed. I was also impressed with how professional and friendly everyone was. They really wanted to do things right. Whenever we brought issues to their attention they were always willing to accommodate. What I really loved was the custom options. That was great because not everyone has the same needs.”
One of Bill and Mary’s biggest concerns during the building process was timing. “We wanted to qualify for the new tax credit. Southern Homes actually completed earlier than we expected. Eric and Todd did a superb job! They were always available and great at addressing issues,“ Bill highlighted.
With the home complete and ready, Mary reflected, “We were very pleased with the way the house turned out. With the selections of paint, countertops, fixtures, and cabinets, I was pleasantly surprised how it all went together. And we weren’t limited in choice; there was plenty to choose from. I really liked all the tall windows also; it made everything very light and bright. It was really wonderful.”
Bill also noted, “The people at Southern Homes really made the experience great. Eric, our builder even gave us a great housewarming gift: sidewalk chalk! It was an inside joke about the extra paved area I proposed as a place for the grandchildren to play that also happens to be a great place for me to keep my boat. It was nice that he remembered something like that.” Bill continued to say, “ You can really tell they wanted to do things right. Even when we had issues with the sod, they took care of it and it had no affect on our cost. Southern Homes will do it right even if they have to do it on their own dime. I would tell anyone that they couldn’t go wrong with Southern Homes. You can trust that they want to do it right and they will do it right.”
