We have used Basalla Homes over the years, starting with their construction of our house. We have…read moregone back to them for several projects, both inside and out. Their work is superb. They care about the fact that the quality of the job is important. They listen, which is refreshing compared to some who just want your business and money. If you ask for something but they discover it is not necessary, or they have a money-saving way, they tell you. How refreshing! Whether Basalla Homes builds your house or does home projects for you, you will discover that it is a quality job done right.

The Bistro @ Village Green is a beautiful event venue. It was a very nice neutral tone with a very…read moreclassy set up - making it super easy to work with. The food is also incredible. It tasted like the chicken salad was grilled and mixed right before it was sat out (and I believe it was) and the soup we chose was a hot topic of our guests as well. I send all my thanks to the kitchen staff for their work on our event catering today! HOWEVER, I give it two stars as an EVENT VENUE (not a restaurant) due to the lack of professionalism from staff, mostly Elizabeth Cooke. Back in September when I booked for our bridal shower for today (end of January) it was a pleasant experience....even from 2 hours away in a different state where I was having to plan it from.I was given the packages, all the information I asked for, and I decided to book. I paid a deposit and informed them exactly which package I wanted and let them know the menu and that was it for sometime. Come closer to the date, I am not permitted to pay for the shower until after Jan 1, when the new package prices come out! How is that possible when I paid a deposit for the price shown to me back in September....? Then as I am finalizing details, I have to wait days to get a returned phone call or an answered phone call. And when I did it was like she Elizabeth did not want to talk to me. And it's not like I can just go check for myself being that far away. When I express my concerns of payment and other things (like the colored cloths I was told they had but on the phone they all of a sudden don't) I am met with what feels to be a snarky attitude. Whatever. Fast forward to day of (literally this morning I am writing this just hours after) and we are informed that I paid $14 a person, 6% sales tax, and then 20% gratuity on top of that (which blows my mind because there was one 'server' walking around only picking up plates. She was a very kind young woman, but had I known that was all I would be tipping 20% of $300+ to.....I would have stopped there immediately) only for the food to not be able to be out through the entire party due to 'FDA requirements' but I run a restaurant and am ServSafe certified and there are in fact such things called 'hold times' on food - which are typically up to 4 hours when properly stored. Why was I not informed I would only be able to have the food for less than half? Oh yeah, and they put it all out UNCOVERED 45 minutes before the party even began!?!?!? If I could only have it for a certain period WHY was it put out way before anyone was there besides those of us doing final touches? There should have been proper equipment there to ensure proper hold times on food if there are concerns of health violations. On top of that, all of the extra food that I PAID FOR got THROWN AWAY! We were not even allowed to take home the 12+ sandwiches that could have gone to a much better place than the trash can. Disgusting. To top all of this off, we were to have this from 12-4 is what I was told. We get there and all of a sudden today it is 12-3. Fine, no biggie. But at 2:30 (30 minutes before we were to be finishing up) they are tearing down their things from the room while we are still talking and finishing the shower plans. And about 15 minutes prior to that was when both Elizabeth and who appeared to maybe be the culinary manager began leaning against the food table STARING into everyone making us all feel incredibly awkward and rushed to get out. If we were to be out AT 3pm including cleaning we should have known that from the start. The communication is terrible. The way we were rushed and treated so passive aggressively is the most unprofessional experience I have ever had and like I said, I run a high pace restaurant. I am exceptionally unhappy with my experience compared to the price. If you have made it this far, I would NOT recommend for any event space. Ever.

The worst realtor we've ever worked with! As soon as we signed the listing paperwork she became a…read moreno show... took 2 weeks just to put her sign up! She also NEVER CALLED OR EMAILED US WITH POTENTIAL SHOWINGS, but called our tenants instead (we were selling an investment property) and of course they always made an excuse to cancel the showings. The only time she ever contacted us was to sign the listing papers and when our contract was about to expire! When we were looking for realtors in the Blair County area we thought a small firm would give us customized, 1 on 1, quality service, but unfortunately we found out the hard way that Mary Ann Scordo and GSA realty definitely will not provide that experience!

Mary Ann is the epitome of a caring professional who does her job for more than just a paycheck…read more When my fiance and I were home hunting Mary Ann treated us as if we were family. Mary Ann was straight forward with us on all the essentials of home buying and kept nothing hidden from us. Mary Ann was a breath of fresh air during the quite hostile times of home buying. Mary Ann made us feel comfortable and quite frankly made our whole home buying experience fun, We would open our doors anytime Mary Ann would want to stop over and speak to us. We look forward to working with her in the future again, and please do yourself a favor and just stick with Mary Ann....you get more than a realtor you get a new family member. =)
