Stonegate at Sunset

Hi Jim,

I thought you would like these. I took them from my son's window. I was trying to catch the sunset. Thanks for the phone call and I am praying for your success in Stonegate.

Can't Wait to Be Home in Stephen's Glen

We have lived in Youngsville for 7 years now all of which has been in our current house. When we built this house we expected to live in it for a short time before moving on to a bigger home. Well, life lead us down another path. We began our search last summer just "looking" around at subdivisions in the Youngsville area. Then in August of last year our family changed. We discovered we were being blessed with our fourth child-much to our surprise. We stepped up our search knowing we had to find something to fit our growing family. Much to our dismay, nothing seemed to fit us, but our 1200 square foot house was closing in on us. We needed space. Then I began to feel very pregnant and ended up in bed sick the next 17 weeks. Steven continued to look online at homes. During my second trimester, when I felt able, we looked at a few homes. We found a few we liked but got word the school districts were changing due to a new elementary school being built. With four children, schools are a major deciding factor in moving for us. I ended up on bedrest the remainder of my pregnancy so we decided to hunker down and make room for baby in our current home.

Early this past spring we saw things happening at Stephen's Glen. We saw trees coming down and a dirt road being plowed. It got us all excited. We waited and prayed to see some kind of signage as to what was coming. Then one day, Steven saw a little sign saying "Stephen's Glen coming soon." Steven came home that night and started researching online and discovered Garman Homes. After church one day, we drove thru Stonegate in Wake Forest. What beautiful homes. Then Steven emailed Jim Garman - we were instantly impressed that Jim responded so quickly to our request of information. Then the day came we actually saw construction happening. After many hours of fervent prayer, we knew what God was leading us to. We met with Jim and Chris one afternoon. Wow, was I surprised to see such down to earth, honest men eager to build me a home. Not a house but a home. Steven and I left that meeting knowing, this was it. God was leading us to this neighborhood. This was the subdivision we had been searching for all these months. God truly was providing for our family's needs. Who could better build us a home than the Garman team? From day one, we have been treated with nothing but kindness; a team really wanting to help us build a home to meet our growing families needs. No pushy sales people in stiff suits here, just good people full of compassion and integrity for what they do...build families homes. Words cannot express the wonderful experience we have had so far. Everyone has been so kind to us but one in particular sticks out-Chris. Every time we come to Chris with a question, comment or concern he is willing and able to give us an answer or resolution. He treats us with kindness and respect. Chris' attention to detail and strive for excellence makes me feel secure in knowing, my family is getting a well built home.

Last weekend Steven and I stood in our future kitchen looking out back envisioning our little ones laughing and playing in our new yard. We walked thru each bedroom placing our children's furniture knowing how happy they would be in their own space. Jim and Chris, you are not only building us a home but building a future for our family. I found this saying a few weeks back which really describes how we feel...

A house is made of walls and ceilings. But a home is made of lovin' feelings-Its good to be home!

We can't wait to be home.

Not Everyone Buys a Garman Home

My husband and I had such a pleasant experience with Garman Homes that we feel compelled to share this with the public. The Garman Team is enthusiastic, sincere, and very friendly! We had the opportunity to work with Kristy Burkett and John Szalecki. They are definitely "Rock Stars" and definitely made a "Difference" in our house searching adventure.

First of all, the G-Team is unique! Garman is a company that thinks "out of the box". Their team members have "Rock Star" as their titles and know how to have fun! Garman is all about customer service and it shows from top to bottom. My husband and I had the chance to meet Jim Garman and he is an energetic and creative individual. I can't forget to mention their Mortgage Broker Phil Jawny, we never met in person but we feel like we've known him for years. He's intelligent, kind, and generous with his time.

My husband and I, for many complex reasons aside from Garman, decided not to go ahead and build or buy a home at this time. However, we had such a positive experience with the G-Team that we just had to give a shout out to this awesome rock group.

Thanks Guys! You Rock!

Can't Teach Attitude

You can't teach Attitude. Working with and relying on people, as a customer, is a challenge. Especially today, in this fast-paced business world we live in. Margins are squeezed, time is a premium, and businesses look for ways to cut corners and hope you "don't notice" shortfalls in service and quality. Sometimes they don't always have you and your best interests in mind. It's hard enough with great people, because people are human, and humans make mistakes. Even Great People make mistakes.

What sets Garman Homes apart is not that they make fewer mistakes (they do, but that's not what differentiates them from others). It's the way they handle the concerns, mistakes, issues, etc, and SOLVE them, with their stellar Garman Attitude. That's what differentiates Garman Homes. They make things right. Usually on the spot or before they tell you it will be done. You don't need to ask for anything twice...sometimes you don't even have to ask at all!

Their followup is impeccable, as is their communication throughout the process, dedication to Customer Service, and most of all, their Attitude.

Thank you to Jim Garman and all of his Rock Stars!

Sincerely,
Mark, Carmen and Sydney Shillingford.

Garman Homes - Racing for the Cure

It was great to see so many "Give it Back" shirts at last Saturday's Race for the Cure. Team Garman Homes had a great showing! Thank you all for joining us!

And most importantly, thank you for raising awareness and money for the fight to cure breast cancer. My family has recently been touched by this disease...since then my eyes have been open to how common breast cancer is. One in eight women. Wow. Let’s find the cure!

Fairytale at Stonegate

Frequently, we as consumers enter into business transactions jaded by our previous poor customer service experiences. All I’ve ever heard about building a home and working with contractors are nightmares and tales of woe. With Garman Homes, these preconceptions disappeared with every interaction. Each and every interaction has been incredibly smooth and all Garman employees have treated us like we were the most important customers they had. After this experience I don’t think I’ll ever purchase a new home if it wasn’t built by Garman. I know this is lengthy but fewer words wouldn’t have done the experience justice…

The Backstory

On a whim my husband and I put our house on the market…it sold in six days and had to close within a month…we went on a 48-hour house shopping binge landing us in Stonegate. We found a house we liked by another builder, and tried to buy it…but received poor service. We continued to try to buy anyway because we wanted the house but then we had an idea…

The Fairytale

We googled Garman Homes, found their website, after about 3 minutes on their website we called our realtor and asked her to set up a meeting with Garman. They give $1000 to Habitat for Humanity for every house they sell, why wouldn’t you want to buy from them?

The NEXT day, we were greeted by the contractor Chris, the sales manager Alaina and the OWNER Jim! We were given a tour of a recently framed structure that could potentially be our new home. The tour was animated, amusing and well organized. They had never built this model before and we had no idea what it was really going to look like when finished.

When we left the meeting, we felt like we were treated right, certainly in contrast to the previous experience. We were treated like people not as a sale, an important Garman difference. Before we even got home, we knew we would be purchasing a home from them, even though it meant we would be "homeless" for a month.

Keep in mind there were still available, finished homes in the neighborhood that could have closed on the same day as our previous home. Due to their incredible customer service as well as their commitment to doing the right thing for their customers and community we elected to put ourselves in a temporary lurch just to have the opportunity to work with Garman.

The entire building process felt like a fairytale, it was nothing like what many of our friends have struggled through when building. Garman was extremely conscious of any errors on their part, often taking responsibility before we had a chance to notice. Chris always greeted us with a smile and was happy to answer our questions even if we showed up unexpectedly (as we often did). Even the Wells Fargo staff made the lending and closing process seamless.

After a month of living with friends, we have now been in our brand new Garman home for two weeks and we continue to receive phenomenal service from the Garman employees. They haven’t discarded us after closing as many builders would have done. They continue to check on us, stop by and follow through with unwritten promises of small things they would fix after we moved in. They have honored all agreements, both oral and written. I don’t know what their actual business motto is but "Do the right thing" seems like the perfect way to sum up our experience.

My husband and I have truly enjoyed our Garman Homes experience and would recommend to anyone if they ever have a choice, to choose Garman. Thank you, Garman Homes for raising the bar for customer service!

Habitat Blitz - Looks like a House Now!

Monday morning started early for the Garman Homes G-Team. Before 7 a.m. our team was on the job site checking and rechecking the house before the rough-in inspections. The framers, plumbers, HVAC guys and electricians were all there to walk with the inspector to be sure everything was just right! There were trucks everywhere!

By 10:00 AM we received the green light to insulate the home, and by lunchtime Cortes Construction was hanging the drywall. It’s hard to believe we just started the home two days ago. On the outside, Stock Building Supply was installing the siding and finishing up the porches. Like contractors should, they started with the front of the house so that everyone could see their progress immediately.

It was great!By the time we were cleaning up on Monday evening, the drywall crew was applying the second coat of mud to the walls. Even as we left, we knew they would be there most of the night so that the next morning we could start running the interior trim and installing cabinets.

Habitat Blitz - Calm Before the Storm

Our trade partners agreed that they would prefer to work hard on Saturday and leave Sunday for a day of rest. I thought they were crazy! After all, we only have six days to build this entire house — I couldn’t imagine leaving the house idle for an entire day! But I was wrong; it worked out.

Our only activity on Sunday was the electrical. Imperial Electric ran the wiring and they had the job site to themselves. They accomplished their work quickly and expertly and packed up. The home was ready for inspections on Monday morning!

On this quiet day, I want to take a moment and describe the benefits of the Advanced Energy Program that we are following on our Habitat for Humanity home. As the owner of Garman Homes, I have weighed the costs and benefits of such energy programs and, so far, we have not committed to taking the plunge. But, with this Habitat for Humanity home, I admit that I am now a believer.

Thanks to 10 to 12 key building techniques and materials defined by this program, Cesar’s home will have an electrical bill of less than $25 a month. That makes a BIG difference for him and his finances. Thank you to Chatham County Habitat for Humanity for teaching us about this powerful program.

Habitat Blitz - Wow! What a Great Start!

Today was unbelievable! I have never seen a group of people so fired up to build a home! This morning Allan’s Quality Construction arrived before 7 a.m. to begin laying out the walls and organizing the panels for a quick start. After a quick blessing and opening ceremony with the Chatham County Habitat for Humanity team, the house sprang to life! It was like watching time-lapse photography — within an hour all the exterior walls were erected and by lunch time they were swinging the roof trusses into place.

Weather Master HVAC was not scheduled to start until 2 p.m. but, rather than wait, they donned their hard hats and worked side by side with the framers installing duct work and vents. By the time the roof was complete at 1:30, the HVAC was done and Carnell’s Plumbing started their installation.We made a few trips to the store: caulking for windows, more nails, button caps for roofing paper. But, overall, everything came together beautifully.

And, best of all, everyone had a great attitude! Our Habitat for Humanity homeowner, Cesar, was in the midst of all the chaos helping to erect the signs, carrying materials and giving encouragement to the team. What a great day!

Garman Homes Gives it Back!

Garman Homes is thrilled to be a part of Home Builders Blitz 2008! I just met with our team this morning to check that all systems are go ... everyone answered with an enthusiastic, “yes!”

Allan's Quality Construction is sending an army of people to start laying out the walls at 6:30 a.m. this coming Saturday morning. Carnell's Plumbing and Weather Master HVAC will follow up at 2 p.m. that afternoon to knock out the rough-ins. Imperial Electric will jump in on Sunday, and by Monday afternoon we hope to hang sheetrock!

Once Cortes Construction wraps up the sanding, the Stock Building Supply Team will dive in with the cabinets and interior trim on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Coleman Floors will install the flooring and we will prepare the home for final inspections on Thursday.

In our world, building a home usually takes 75-90 days. To pull off a house in less than a week during Home Builders Blitz, everyone has turned their standard procedures upside-down. Thank you to our trade partners!

And thank you to Cesar and his family who will be purchasing this home. His hard work and enthusiasm during the preparation has been an inspiration to our whole team.

Oak Hall Party - Great Idea!

Jim Garman, the G-Team, my family and I would like to say “Thank You!” for the wonderful experience that we had yesterday. The neighborhood party was held in our new home (well, we close in 3 weeks..); I must say that we were very surprised at how many folks actually showed up to welcome us to the Oak Hall neighborhood! It was nice to be able to meet them ahead of time and to know that this area is so warm and inviting and full of friendly people.

A little background… Our family of 5 has been renting a small place in Apex for 4 years now, and we had decided that it’s time to move into something a little more spacious. Our search included the Cary, Apex, Morrisville, and Holly Springs areas. All four towns have good reputations, and our choice to go with this Garman home in Oak Hall was based on several factors: sidewalks, a pool, good-sized yards, established greenery, friendly neighbors, lots of kids, physical proximity, etc. Two things that immediately caught our eye was that this house had an interestingly open floorplan, and that it’s fit and finish was well above-and-beyond what the other big-name builders are putting out. What we are getting in $$/sq. ft. is phenomenal; you could easily drive just 10 miles away and pay A LOT more for the same house (no joke, similar floorplans in Cary are ~$100k more!).

The Garman Homes team has been polite, accommodating, and eager to help. I should mention that this includes EVERY member of the team, from the sales crew to the construction crew. I have showed up randomly throughout the building process and have had conversations with many of the workers, all of whom were very willing to answer all of my questions, every time, and with a smile no less! A nice touch to know that the people building your house are happy with their job and will take ownership of their work.

…yes, I am all caught up in the excitement of buying a new home. … no, I don’t work for Garman and I don’t get anything for posting this blog. I just think that when making a purchase of this magnitude, the purchase should have value and the customer service that goes along with it should be of value too, and Garman homes deserves a pat on the back for giving us both.

We are moving into our new home at 205 Muses Mill Ct. on 04/24/08. Stop by and say “Hi!”. After we’ve been there awhile we will probably submit an update to this blog, so keep posted…

G-Team Strikes Again!

I want to say thank you for the G-Team Appointment. This is our 3rd time building a new home and I have never seen anything like it. I took the entire day off of work thinking I would need to wait around all day. To my surprise I had twenty vans all down the street when I pulled up to my home and they were all for my home. The entire process was one hour long. The men actually repainted most of my home due to my movers damaging it and they found a leak in the roof and fixed it that day.

What a great plan. I only wish more builders were aware of the clients needs. Thank you for our great home. Bravo to Garman Homes for a excellent idea!

Guaranteed Closing Date - Thank Goodness!

My wife and I are recent Garman homeowners, and I cannot say enough good things about Jim, John, and the G-Team. The are without a doubt the best of the best of the best with honors. One Garman Difference in particular helped save our day, the Guaranteed Closing Date. My wife and I were expecting a baby in early January, the 2nd to be exact. We were living in a 2 bedroom apartment with our 2 year old daughter at the time. Our previous house sold and we were now looking for a new home. There definitely was no room for one more in the apartment. There basically was just room for our daughter and her toys!

So we looked and looked for months, but could not find a house we both liked. Whereas my wife was more concerned with the house itself, my major hangup was that I wanted a flat driveway for a basketball goal. That was essential. Anyway, we both liked the Fairfield neighborhood, but none of the houses for sale matched what we both wanted. We saw that Garman Homes was building in Fairfield so we checked out the floor plans online and really liked what we saw. We met Jim Garman in Fairfield with Jeff, our agent who lives in Fairfield, to look at the available lots. Jim was extremely nice and treated us like we had been friends forever. He took us around and showed us the lots. We decided on one lot with a flat front yard, perfect for a basketball goal driveway.

We got very excited when Jim told us he could have the house built by December 21st. We couldn't believe it. We shook hands and got the process rolling. Our house was finished on December 19th and is absolutely perfect. It was done early which was good since our son Matt was early as well. He was born on Dec. 30th. He loves being part of the scream-team, oh I meant the G-Team.

Oak Hall is Vertical!

Oak Hall is going vertical with our first home almost complete. I'm so excited to be the Sales Ambassador for Oak Hall. This neighborhood is Awesome! Things are rolling with 4 inventory homes being constructed and 1 already Sold!

Just look a the Chatham's "Wall of Windows" and the front porch wide enough to actually rock in that rocking chair. Customers love the covered back porch and added details in our homes.

Oak Hall has it all with miles of sidewalks, swimming pool w/ cabana, a tot lot I'd love to take my son to and best of all, homes built by Garman Homes. Oak Hall is located in charming Holly Springs, a place once known for it's 40 foot holly trees that towered over freshwater springs. Now Holly Springs is one of the fastest growing towns in NC while still maintaining that small town appeal.

Oak Hall is located just off Main Street and convenient to US 1 and Hwy 55. I truly believe Oak Hall is the place to be in Holly Springs!

OMYGOSH - It's so exciting to see Garman Homes building in Stonegate in Wake Forest!

I have lived in Stonegate for 2 1/2 years and while I enjoy my home, I am so excited to see a new "face" in the neighborhood! Up until recently, all of the homes in Stonegate were built by McCar Homes. I am absolutely thrilled to see that future (and current) residents will have the opportunity to choose a Garman Home IN STONEGATE!

Stonegate offers residents access to a large private pool, a resident's club, playground and lighted tennis courts!! In addition, the entrance and grounds are beautiful and inviting. Residents are in close proximity to shopping, I-540, RDU, The Factory, and nightlife!

In that the Garman team would be a new presence in Stonegate, Jim Garman felt it was important for nearby residents to know more about him, and his company. He kindly introduced himself to current residents and invited homeowners to a social gathering, leaving the floor wide open for questions and commments. The Garman Homes representaives answered EVERY question, addressed EVERY concern and shared ideas for helping to make Stonegate one of Wake Forest's best subdivisions.

All I've got to say is: "I wish I were building a Garman Home today!" The employees of this organization personify the meaning of customer service. They get it! Jim and his team were relaxed, professional and approachable. They are entirely committed to making your building experience FUN and exciting. If you're thinking of building a home, please take the time to speak to a Garman representative today! You won't regret it!

Gourmet Cooking in Amberly

It all started with a simple question. “Jim, what do you think about a six burner cook top?”

The answer was “Oh yeh! We have wanted to do a “Gourmet Kitchen” option for the Pinehurst…big cooktop, high/low cabinets, double oven, etc. It sounds like this will be a great opportunity to design one. Please send me your dreams and let me work up a plan with the cabinet company. “

And a gourmet kitchen we now have! Jim Garman and his G-Team designed the following:

- High/Low Cabinets
- Cook top bump out
- Footed cabinets
- Under cabinet lighting
- Braiding across the top of the cabinets
- Microwave mounted under the counter top
- Double Oven
- Espresso Bar (aka Butler’s Pantry)

We ended up deciding on a 5 burner cook top…only to maximize the counter top space.

In the beginning, I got countless jokes regarding my double oven. Now, everyone wants to come to my house for gatherings because of the double ovens. We love it!

Living the Garman Difference

As a Garman homeowner, I can attest to and speak personally regarding the items that John described in the previous post.

This is the second home my wife and I have built. Our first was from a "big" builder with a recognizable national name. I'll start by describing that experience: The sales rep sold us on the home and handed us to the construction manager. Once we closed, we were handed to a customer service rep. Each would point the finger at the other and dealing with a large company it took nearly forever to get things done. Customer Service with them had much to be desired.

How is Garman Different? Each Rock Star is identified immediately. I remember signing the sales agreement and receiving emails from each member of the G-Team congratulating us on our purchase. G-Team members gave their contact information and were available to answer our questions, address our concerns, and always did so in a timely manner, with the utmost professionalism, and above all else - with Great Attitudes. The building process should be fun and enjoyable. You are not buying any house, you are constructing a home. Garman Homes understands that. They were very flexible with things that we wanted in our home. They are unlike "big" builders that have a cookie cutter plan that they stick to. Garman realizes that each person is unique, they have that personal approach that is needed in Home Building. You are not a number, it's not just any home. They realize that you are not just a customer, not just any home owner, they treat you like a member of their team, the G-Team, because they realize that it is YOUR home that is being built.

We recently experienced the 45 day post-closing G-Team meeting. Wow, needless to say, I was and am impressed. Let me take a moment to list the items i saw being checked, all at the same time: fireplace, doors and windows, drawers and cabinets, each light switch and electrical socket was tested, paint touch ups, caulking, plumbing and faucets, HVAC, if you name it it was checked. As quick as it began it was over. Garman Homes does such a great job the first time around there are no long delays or list of items to repair. As the trade partners were finished checking over their speciality in the house, they would come to us, introduce themselves, hand us their card, and with their check list in hand they went over each item with us, explaining what was checked and what repairs were performed (if any), gave maintenance suggestions, and would sign their check list and hand it us. Sign their checklist? Yes, I'm serious. Now that's accountability. Nothing says "I stand by my work" like putting your name on it.

After the G-Team meeting was over we had our photo taken with the $1,000 check that Jim Garman presented to Habitat for Humanity.

With respect to the Guaranteed Closing date - we closed on the date we were given.

The Garman Difference - How and Why?

By now, we hope you have visted www.garmanhomes.biz and read about the Garman Differences. Many people ask me how we do what we do, and wonder why we do these things. I thought I could give you some answers here in our blog.

G-TEAM: That group of industry proffesionals who will show up on your doorstep for a scheduled appointment 45 days post-closing.

How we do it: Each trade partner is contracted to participate in the G-Team meeting. Each person is notified of the time and date 5 days in advance, and confirm date with the G-Team leader. All members of the G-Team discuss preperation for that particular home in advance with a G-Team Leader from Garman Homes.

Why we do it: I have always seen warranty service as the number one weakness of the homebuilding industry. Customer appointments are often missed, and customers have to miss too much time off work to get items corrected in their homes. We came up with the G-Team idea so that each buyer could have their home serviced by a team of proffesionals who would check each component of the home and correct any deficiencies without the customer having to send in a list, call multiple trades, or haggle with a warranty rep about coverage. This is a comprehensive one-appointment shakedown to make sure everything is right. When people ask why we do this, I often wonder why everyone isn't doing it?

Guaranteed Closing: That's right, we guarantee our closing date!!

How we do it: We keep our houses moving along with advanced online scheduling that our trade partners follow. We don't let our homes sit, we keep folks working on them every day. We avoid "gaps" in the schedules that stall most builders.

Why we do it: Buying and closing a home can be a stressful time. We don't want our buyers to have to rearrange their world at the last minute, so our whole team is geared to deliver a quality product on or ahead of schedule.

Rockstars Wanted: We hire Rock Stars!

How we do it: We hire the best proffesionals in theindustry to run construction, sales, etc, and hand-pick every trade, hiring only the best. We offer G-Team training and make sure everyone that works at Garman Homes has a great attitude.

Why we do it: Life is to short to try to succeed with anything less than the best team in the industry. Rock Stars get the job done correctly, with a great attitude. and have fun doing it!

Give it back: We donate $1000 to Habitat For Humanity for each home we close.

How we do it: Jim Garman writes a check for each home after closing and sends it to Habitat for Humanity.

Why we do it: Jim Garman has been involved with Habitat since his college days, where he raised money by biking across the country for the cause. Habitat has always been important to Jim, and he wants his company known as a champion for Habitat For Humanity.
