Finding the right neighborhood and builder to meet your needs, budget, and preferences can be a very time consuming process.  After much searching, driving through dozens of neighborhoods, and scouring the internet for information, we discovered our “dream location” at one of Ryland Homes properties in our area.  Our initial impression of the neighborhood was immediate and overwhelmingly positive.  The people in the neighborhood waved as we drove by, and the houses were on spacious lots that had a classic American feel.  

     As with most builders, Ryland Homes had a sales office on site with several model homes to preview.  Our salesperson was exceptional and we immediately liked her and to this day we call her a friend.  However, business is business.  Before we committed to building, we researched Ryland and found their reputation was stellar, their customer service top notch, and their building techniques were modern and world class. With these credentials and reputation, we felt confident enough to choose Ryland Homes over other builders, and our particular neighborhood for its style and location.

   In addition to our salesperson, we found Ryland's financing department to also be above exceptional.  The staff was genuinely caring and we truly felt they had a heartfelt understanding of our needs.   Though many people do choose to use third party financing for their mortgage, finding a builder with a good finance department can make not only getting a mortgage painless, but an all-in-one package that is easy to work with. 

     Our neighborhood and house is typical of the median for our area, with a median price point and standard features for this type of construction.   We ultimately chose to build a two story home which is approximately 2500 square feet and situated on a ½ acre wooded lot on a cul-de-sac. We are a large family with four kids in school, so having a home is very important to all of us.  It has been an adventure, and we would like to take you through it with us.
