Thank you to my future neighbor Nadase for taking these pictures.  Our house is coming along.  We have windows now and some shingles on the roof.  Thanks Nadase!

NVR - No Customer Satisfaction

I continue to read all kinds of negative things about NVR. I've experienced some and continue to experience bad service. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. On the other hand, how are they allowed to continue to get away with their lack of customer service, accountability, etc among other things?  I sent an email to the loan specialist on Saturday and I have not received any type of response yet. There has to be something consumers/customers can do. It's a monopoly!  In order to get incentives from Ryan we have to use NVR. They feel like they can do whatever they want whenever they want.  Aren't we the ones spending our hard earned money?

It Takes a Village to Build a Rome

We would like to thank my future neighbor Nadese for stopping by our lot to check the progress of our home yesterday.  I was pleasantly surprised at the progress.  I can't wait to check it out in person tomorrow.  We have some nice neighbors and everyone is looking out for each other and their homes.  I plan to reciprocate the favor for my future neighbors as well.  We are truly blessed and thankful that we are moving into such a family oriented neighborhood.  I will post pictures of our visit tomorrow.

Pics of the Progression of our Rome

Progress

We stopped by our lot today. Coming right along. Foundation in, backfill looks done and the cement is on the garage and the basement floors. The basement doesn't look like its as big as it should be.   The framework should happen next week. I'm very thankful for the progress

NVR -I'm Sorry For The Delay

We received an email at 5:50 am yesterday morning from the loan specialist.  She just finally remembered to send us our loan approval. The letter was dated September 7 and we got it in an email on September 18. We broke ground on September 10.  With that being said, I just don't like that we are following guidelines and neither of these companies are.
