What's the Deal with the Rock Stars?

I love it when people come in to our houses and say, “What’s the Deal with the Rock Stars?” Rock Stars Wanted, by definition, means that we recruit only the best people to work at Garman Homes.

Have you ever met a person that just blew you away with their great attitude and commitment to spectacular service? We tend to remember those people and those moments because unfortunately, they can be few and far between. Those moments were memorable because that person was memorable. That person is a Rock Star.

Here’s another cool thing about Rock Stars…they love treating other people like Rock Stars. We think our buyers and cooperating brokers deserve to be treated like Rock Stars. You deserve to work with someone who has a great attitude. You deserve to work with people who are known for doing the right thing. You deserve Rock Star treatment.

Rock Stars Wanted! \A$

Chinese Drywall - Not in Garman Homes!

Dear Friends,

If you stumbled upon recent reports in the media about the dangers of Chinese drywall, you are not alone! I just want to assure all Garman Homes customers that we never did and never will install drywall from China in our homes. We have used only United States drywall manufacturers since our first home.

We have worked with Georgia Pacific and more recently American Gypsum and National Gypsum...all of which have great track records for product safety and quality. If you have any questions, please reach out to me directly.

Thank you for believing in us, \JG

All Your Eggs in One Basket!


Rock Stars Wanted?......................Rock Stars found! Jim Garman and the Garman Team say they are looking for Rock Stars to build homes for, but as far as my husband Brian and I are concerned, THEY'RE the stars! Yes, we've had the "rock star" treatment since we began this process, and less than 3 weeks away from closing on our dream home, we could not be happier with the journey.

From the moment we met Alaina and Kathie, we knew this team was different. Although my husband and I had never been through the building process before, we felt totally at ease with them. We had heard many horror stories about building, but somehow we knew we were dealing with a different kind of company here. Then we met Jim Garman, and our feelings were solidified! Personally, he is wonderful. He and his group incorporate honesty, integrity, hard work, and genuine concern into their business dealings and it shows. We also loved the idea of giving back. Jim is involved with Habitat for Humanity, and gives a portion of his proceeds from each home to them. Thanks Jim!

We really wanted to build in Holly Glen, and were excited to be the first buyers to build a new floor plan. It has been a thrill to watch Jim's team "create" this beautiful home for us. I cannot really convey how ecstatic we are with the entire process. We have been informed each step of the way, and all the claims of exceptional quality and timeliness have come true. In just a few short months, not only are we nearing completion on a beautiful new home, but each person we have dealt with has been professional and treated us like royalty! Thanks to Mike, Kelly, Phil & Kathy, John &Chris, Alaina, Kathie, Jim and everyone else. You guys rock!

And if it wasn't enough that we had Jim's team busy building our new home, we also had them selling our old one through Garman Realty. Talk about putting all your eggs in one basket! No surprise here, but Garman Realty is as creative and different as Garman Homes. They marketed our home, set up a blog page, and the G-Team came in to update a couple of areas. Especially in this ecomony, it's the "extra effort" that matters. Last week, we sold our home; just in time for our April closing! Thanks Jenn, Jim, Jackie, and everyone for your hard work.

So in case you haven't already guessed, we are extremely happy with the experience we have had with Garman Homes & Realty. We would highly recommend the G-Team to anyone who wants an honest and different approach to home buying/selling. Like I said before, Rock Stars wanted? Rock Stars found!

Regards,
Brian and Mary McEnteer
