Here's some more to read for the sake of commedy:
Builder: Here's the blue print for the models Remash.
Remash: Great, let me take a look.
Remash: Cool, it has A, B, C, D, and E elevations.
Builder: Those are the ones being built.
Remash: What is the size of the garage for the D elevation, since that is the one we want and it is absolutely important that it is 23 - 24 ft long.
Builder: - rustles through the prints - hmm, can't seem to find that. But the A elevation's garage is 20 ft.
Remash: That's irrelevant. We want D built. The layout is different. Oh, this is the first time we have seen A, B, & C. We did not know you sold those elevations. They are not listed in the brochure or anywhere on your website.
Builder: Oh really?
Remash: Ok, we really need a list of all the standard features because it appears nothing is available anywhere. We could not find it on the website.
Builder: Umm, let me check with - so and so.
So and so: Here it is.
Remash: This is the standard features for elevation A, B, & C.
Remash: I stopped by this other builder, x, today and they gave me this printout of all of the standard features - pulls the paper out and places it on the desk.
So and so: Let me check something on the computer........... It looks like the builder is not building elevation D. That must be why we could not find the garage size in the blue prints.
Remash, Remash's wife, Representation: - dumb founded and shocked - WHAT?! We are here specifically because of that model. Only for that model.
So and so: hmmm
Builder rep: I had no idea, I'm so sorry. I've only been working here for a few days now. I did not know this is how they did things here.
Representation: OK, we are going to leave now so we can regroup.
---- they called her later that day to let her know that the other elevation that is on the brochure and on the website, elevation E, is not being sold either. They now have elevation F, of which no one but the architect knows how it looks. And - it is $15k more that what we thought elevation D was. - Tue May 20 2008, 05:33
We did contact our agent and she went with us this morning. She was definitely needed. We consider ourselves to be pretty educated with these matters but she certainly helped a lot. We found out things during the meeting that we probably would not have thought of without her. In particular, the builder represented a rise of a model on their brochures and website that we wanted. That was the only reason we were going to purchase from them. During the meeting between them and our agent we found out that they are not building that model and have 2 other models that they do not even show or list on the brochures. All said and done, we had to walk away pretty upset with huge question marks above our heads. They were confusing had did not even know what the standard features of the homes were. I'm still shocked. Thanks to all of you for your advice. They all deserve top rating. - Mon May 19 2008, 05:09
There's a particular model that we like that is not yet built anywhere on the development. It's not too small and not too big.
Per representation: we understand the risk of going without one. We have an agent through Remax but she is not involved in this. We have been looking at the Stanley Martin homes in Wildewood way before we even met the agent. - Fri May 16 2008, 15:42
