My husband and I could not be more pleased with our decision to buy a Stanley Martin home. We…read morearen't moving to the Charlottesville area until the summer, but on my very first trip down, to look at real estate with our realtor, Karyn Trumbull, Nest Realty, we fell hard for a Stanley Martin home. It's the Carey design, the home was already in production, walls and cabinets in but nothing else. Even the details like the carpet, flooring, hardware, lighting, cabinets, etc etc were already chosen since this was slated to be a move-in ready home. We have been able to add a few additions, which has been so much fun (the contractors who work with Stanley Martin are lovely and knowledgeable and competent). Our Stanley Martin neighborhood sale rep, Kelley Welch, is wonderful. She not only answers our questions & concerns consistently and quite frequently, she is also the designer behind the details mentioned above and I honestly could not be happier with her choices! Since having first seen the house in February, the construction is moving along nicely. We just came back from a visit last week, the tile, countertops, and flooring are now down in the bathrooms, kitchen and main level, and everything looks amazing. We met with the neighborhood construction manager, Austin Zimmerman, who could not have been more knowledgeable and friendly. Austin answered all our questions regarding our addition to add the rec room and guest bedroom & bath to the basement. It's a great feeling walking away and doing this from afar knowing Austin is in charge. We also met with some of the contractors on our last trip. The L&L Company rep, André Morrison, helped guide us through carpet, flooring, and padding for our basement additions. André is lovely, just the best customer service experience we've had in a long time, we left feeling like flooring experts and extremely pleased with the wealth of knowledge he shared with us and the choices we made. We also met with Appalachian Home Technologies rep, André Saunders, and again left with another amazing customer service experience. Mr. Saunders helped us pick out and add outlets, cable connections, speakers for our kitchen & screened in porch. He shared his knowledge of sound and connection and flow for our home audio system that makes me over the moon excited about getting in my kitchen to cook and entertain.
When we came to Charlottesville back in the beginning of February, my husband and I had no intention of buying a home, NONE. Again, it was my first time even seeing Charlottesville. We had no knowledge of the area, no idea about Crozet, the schools, the neighborhoods, nothing. I have to be honest and say once we got back to State College, our heads were spinning, tons of buyers remorse, I mean holy crap, WHAT DID WE JUST DO! But we're happy, so so happy with our decision. So happy with Stanley Martin, with Kelley, Austin, André M., & André S. We can not wait to get there and be in our house! This experience, so far, has been a great one. I would recommend Stanley Martin, especially Kelley Welch, to anyone.
