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…
