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.
