If I were to sum up our entire experience with Scott Patrick Homes in one sentence, this is what I would say: Building and buying my home from Scott Patrick was easily one of the most thrilling, pleasant, and rewarding experiences of my entire life. Although this was my first home purchase, and I certainly have no frame of reference for comparisons, I truly can't imagine how I would ever find a better group of people to buy a home from.
My wife (then fiancée) and I found Scott Patrick Homes mostly by accident. We were looking for lots and found an area (Andalucia El Bosque) where we knew we would like to build. It just so happened that Scott Patrick homes had a presence in the neighborhood which included some model/spec homes and an office. From the moment we walked into Jolynne Becker's office at Skyview in Andalucia, we both knew we wanted to build with Scott Patrick. Jolynne is, quite frankly, one of the most professional and accommodating people I've ever worked with, period. We were never treated in anything but the most dignified manner, and Jolynne is one of those people who you just know is not nice to you simply because she wants to sell you a house (though she DID want to). From beginning to end, Jolynne was the person we worked with most closely, and she put the human element into the entire transaction. If you're in the market for a home, got talk to Jolynne Becker, and see what I mean.
Now, let me tell you, Scott Schiabor designs one heck of a house. Although we purchased what could be considered one of his "budget" homes (the Skyview line is below the Custom Gold and Limited series), I never felt for one moment that the people building the house felt that way about it. The attention to detail in these houses is simply stunning. Every wall and ceiling is meticulously hand-textured with drywall mud to give a very custom look, and the array of choices in paint, stain, trim, carpet, tile, granite, fixtures, etc. is simply staggering. They also offer many other choices for upgrading/individualizing your home, and they are more than willing to work with you on anything that isn't on their list. Just ask!
All of those design details would be meaningless if there wasn't someone on the build site making sure everything was put together properly. That's where Bob comes in. Bob is the guy who gets it done... all of it. He's the build site superintendent for, I believe, ever home Scott Patrick builds. Bob is to the build of the home as Jolynne is to the sale. He knows everything about your house being built, and if you have questions or concerns at any time during the construction, he WILL take care of them. And even after your home is done and you're all moved in, if there are issues, Bob will be there. Trust me, I know.
Finally, none of this really matters without a good after-sale support system, and I'm proud to say that the three times we have needed assistance, Scott Patrick has been extremely quick in getting someone out here to fix the problem. We're talking 24-hour turnaround times, here, folks. How many other home-builders can claim that level of customer support?
I want to go on and on but I should really keep this to one page. In sum, my wife and I are as happy as clams in our new home, and we can't imagine ever having a better experience. So if you're in the market for a house, go talk to the people at Scott Patrick homes... you'll never regret it! read more
