Perry, Please make sure you put everything in writing (email) with them, and maybe this way you can get your downpayment back, when worse come to worse.

Hello Perry, I have been keep looking at your blog to get some update on your situation, but looks like you are sick of updating that now. I am working for a German company and I think I am getting the German mentality. As you know, I canceled mine over $300.00, when I believed I should have not pai...

It all came to an end with PD mid last week and I had to stop the whole process to go further, as I was called a Dictator, by the first lovely builder I chose!!! This is to an answer I gut to the question “why PD is not Flexible at all on making appointment?”, and they said, they can not wait and th...

OK, today I had a little problem with Porter Davis and ready depending on their decision, I am ready to pull the plug off with them. I requested to change the layout a little so the standford 23 instead of looking like Lyndherst display, it will look like a Highland display, which basically, changin...

Thank you YSSIM and perryr. Hopefully the site costs after soil tests will remain same. I had a similar quote with Met*** on site cost so I think they both have built in the area and are quoting it right. Also the land fall is with in the standard. Hello Satskape, Welcome to the forum, looks like m...

Thanks Perry, The Stanford 23, and I went with few extra extra options, which came as the promotion which I was happy about it. I think compare to some of the other builders (Metricon and Simonds) they were a little more expensive, but looking at the quality of the houses, I decided to pay the littl...

So I ended up signini...
