This isn’t my first time purchasing new, however previously it was a condo and the breadth of choices is much narrower than that for a single family home. When people ask me how it went, my answer is always “it was exciting and we’re so happy with everything but I never wanna do it again.” It is overwhelming. The amount of decisions alone will make any normal persons head spin. The experience at the design centre was disappointing as the associate was new and had a hard time answering our questions (we did have a mountain of questions). It’s not her fault, everyone has to start somewhere at some time. But when you’re making the biggest purchase of your life you want confident, correct answers. The saga of choosing counter tops brought us to every corner of the city. After deflecting multiple attempts of being persuaded in to getting porcelain and quartz, we eventually decided on white Brazilian granite and it is not possible for us to be happier with our decision. The multiple meetings with baby in tow, confirming change orders before plan modification deadlines, negotiations on price to meet budget, viewing floor plan after floor plan, racking my brain and asking 700 questions as to attempt not to overlook anything, etc… HOWEVER. The saving grace to this entire painstaking ordeal goes by the name of Terry. I’m not blowing smoke when I say that we would not of built a home with Broadview if it wasn’t for Terry. As mentioned previously we met him at the show home on Yellow Moon and I instantly knew he understood both his business and people during the first 2 minutes of our conversation. He was professional and not pushy. He was intelligent but not arrogant. He had an answer for all of my preliminary questions and during the entire process, and if he didn’t have an answer he would promptly get one from someone who did. We spoke to representatives from almost every other builder in the community and although Paul is great, Terry is top tier. Don’t ever let him go. Just as sure as I am that the rep from Kensington is costing that builder business in the millions, I know Terry is earning that business for Broadview. Thank you Terry for all the time, the guidance, the information provided throughout the entire process, always taking our calls, and for being the biggest piece of this puzzle which has become our dream home. My family is so happy here and we couldn’t have done it without you. Before concluding, I will also tip my hat to the tradesmen who put it all together. Everything looks clean, works great and feels solid. Bill gave us a thorough walk through and explained everything concisely. We will continue to recommend Broadview to friends and family for years to come! Happy New Year and thank you for making our dreams a reality. Rick, Alyssa. Sofia and Leo
Everything was great, if I had to do everything all over again I wouldn’t change a thing.
