My wife and I set out on what would be one of the scariest journey’s of our married life. Our old house had simply become too small and with another baby on the way we were unable to stay. We must have gone to about 50 open houses, been through a myriad of Realtors and used every friend, coworker and family that we could think of.
The problem was, what one house lacked, another would have. It was impossible to find a house that would fit our needs. I mean, we are talking about a huge sum of money to shell out for something that isn’t perfect. This isn’t like buying a refrigerator.
In the end, we decided to build. It’s not something we wanted to do, but rather, it was something we felt we had to do.
Having heard nothing but horror stories, we obviously were cautious.
The funny thing is, Schumacher Homes was literally the last home builder we looked at. We were, at the time, blown away by the presentation and the staff. We decided to trust them with this enormous undertaking.
For weeks, my wife and I were wondering if we had just settled. I mean, after all we were just burned out with builders. There is only so much one couple can take!
At no point during the building process were we ever disappointed. The constant communication was wonderful and they actually listened to every suggestion we brought to the table.
During one of our walkthroughs we noticed some minor problems. Not only did they never make us feel like we were bothering them, but they actually made sure it EVERYTHING was taken care of before our next walk through. It seems to me that their project managers were on top of things the whole time. Let’s just say some of my friends weren’t happy with me given the problems they had!
In the end, we are happy in our new house. To this day we still stay in touch with the Schumacher Homes and have recommended them to several of our friends who are also growing their family. We were very satisfied and hope this little post helps someone make up their mind. I know how agonizing this decision making process can be.
