    Eastbrook Homes

    Eastbrook Homes should have been a 5 star experience. It's what they advertise, and what I trusted…read morethey would provide. Eastbrook homes let us down with our unscrupulous realtor, Kurt Suidinski. He was a 1/5 star experience. Kurt gives off terrible vibes because he is disingenuous, deceptive, and will say anything for a sale. He is greedy and has (point blank) told me lies that he later on denied. Come to find out after moving in, almost *everyone* has a Kurt story. Let me tell you, none of them are good. I think what I despise most about Kurt was how he disrespected me and low key bullied me/ gaslighted me when I challenged him on why he didn't cut my realtor in on her hard earned portion of the sale. I distinctly remember him telling me, "I should go home and have a glass of wine, and let the men (meaning he and my husband) handle this." When I queried if he was acting this way to avoid splitting the commission, I remember commenting on why his ears were turning beat red? I guess someone has blood pressure issues. Thank God, Kurt told me to stay out of it. My husband went to the Vice President of sales and got my realtor her commission. Thanks for leaving it to the men, Kurt. Great suggestion! Honestly, I was so disillusioned with Eastbrook as Kurt was the first point of reference, the newly hired interior designer was not very helpful. I basically picked out the whole house myself in 3 hours or less. It would've been fun to have someone to bounce ideas off of, but oh well. Chad, the building manager saved the day. I was initially leary thinking all the employees at Eastbrook were Kurt incarnate but Chad reassured me he was different. Chad lived up to his promise and gave *excellent* customer service. He's a nice and straight to the point kind of guy that is approachable, easy to talk to and genuinely wants the customer to be happy. He does a great job managing the contractors and has an eye for detail. Chad was a 5/5 star experience. Thanks Chad! If I could do it again, I would have found a different realtor. I hear good things about Jonah, he was kind on closing day and we appreciated Kurt's absence, as it made the closing a more joyful experience for us. Jonah and Chad could easily make Eastbrook a 5 star experience. Too bad Kurt got in the way with his dishonesty and greed. Oh well. The whole community at Lowing Woods has a "Kurt story" yet he's still working there. I suppose it's a good ole boys club and I should just shut up and have a glass of wine per Kurt's instructions. Ewww. Thanks to Chad, Jonah and the Vice President of Eastbrook that forced Kurt to do the right thing. We appreciate the 30 day paint touch up as part of the Eastbrook promise and the year warranty which we used to replace warping deck wood and a few other minor fixes in the house. We love our house and our community. Overall, happy to have worked with Eastbrook regardless of the rough start with Kurt. Avoid Kurt from the beginning and you'll have a much better experience. Good luck with your build!

    Woods Builders Homes

    I am writing this review to warn anyone who is thinking about working with Woods Builders Homes…read moreInc., and specifically its owner, Jon Wood. I did not hire this company to build a home for me, so I cannot speak to the quality of their construction. What I can speak to, in detail, is my direct experience dealing with John Wood as a businessman -- and based on that experience, I would never trust this man or this company with something as important as a home. Woods Builders subcontractors have repeatedly crossed onto our private property to access his job site. This happened multiple times. There was no permission given, no easement, no legal right to do so. I contacted him about it. Twice. Calmly. Directly. What followed was one of the most frustrating and disillusioning interactions I've ever had with someone in business. Jon Wood acknowledged that his subs were wrong. But in the same breath said he can't control them. Yes you can Jon, you pay the invoice they send you for the work they do for YOU! He also told me things that were later proven to be false. Not once, not twice, but three separate times. Each time I challenged him with evidence of his lies the story changed. Eventually, after being cornered by facts, he admitted that he had not been telling me the truth. Let that sink in. This wasn't a misunderstanding. This wasn't a miscommunication. This was someone who knew he was in the wrong, knew he was crossing property he did not have the right to use with cranes, cement trucks, heavy equipment and chose lies instead of owning it. That tells me everything I need to know. If someone will lie to me about something as basic and verifiable as simple facts, what will they do when you are a customer with a contract, money on the line, and a house being built? If someone is willing to ignore property boundaries and act entitled to land that isn't theirs, how will they treat your boundaries, your budget, or your concerns? I cannot speak to their craftsmanship. But I can absolutely speak to their character. And based on my direct experience, Jon Wood has demonstrated: A willingness to trespass when it is convenient A willingness to lie when confronted A willingness to only tell the truth after being caught That is not the behavior of someone I would trust to run a project that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. Building a home requires honesty, transparency, accountability, and respect -- not just for clients, but for everyone affected by the project. In my dealings with Jon Wood, I saw none of that. If this is how he treats someone who isn't even his customer, imagine how difficult it would be to deal with him once you are financially and contractually tied to him. There are many builders in the Grand Rapids area. You have choices. Based on my experience, I strongly suggest choosing someone who respects property lines, tells the truth the first time, and doesn't need to be caught before being honest. I would never hire Woods Builders Homes Inc. I would never trust Jon Wood with my property, my money, or my home.
