This review is for Ben Ellefson, who was the real estate agent who helped me buy my first home…read more So, like all first time homebuyers, I was scared and confused about buying a home. My manager recommended Ben, since she had worked with him to purchase her rental property. Ben and I met for coffee and just talked about me and what I like to do and what kind of person I am. From that, Ben was able to better pinpoint the kind of place I was looking for. We actually looked at my perfect house the very first day we viewing! We went viewing a second time, to look at my house again and some others that were similar, so make sure my mind was set on that one, and it was. Ben held my hand through all that mass of paperwork and helped me through an unpleasant situation with a mortgage company and got me closed and moved in for under what I was expecting to pay and got twice the house for it. I'd highly recommend Innovative Real Estate, specifically Ben Ellefson, if you're looking for a property in the Denver Metro Area. He was able to get in my head and find exactly what I wanted, when I couldn't even articulate what I was looking for. That saved a TON of time in that we didn't have to spend days on end cruising houses I wouldn't have been interested in.

Brightland Homes Balmoral Houston, TX! This builder needs to train their sales agents to…read morethoroughly explain the building process, design center, what comes with lot premiums and to listen to the consumers instead of over talking them and telling them what needs to go in a new build! I felt rushed to get into a contract being that I was told there was only one lot left for the house I wanted! Upon signing I found out very important facts after the fact like I had to pay 25% of an $18k "incentive" at the designer center, the lot would be too small to accommodate the air conditioner on the side, the lot was too small to have a whole house generator (which in Houston, TX is important due to the frequent inclement weather), gutters do not come standard all the way around the home, per the construction manager, the oak trees that come standard would need to be removed after closing to prevent future issues and Brightland nickel and dime you for everything! I cancelled my contract and lost $12k because I refused to pay almost $400k for this garbage! Do yourself a favor and read review across other sites! The bad reviews are not lies! I failed to mention that upon trying to suggest a reasonable solution, the sales manager laughed at me! STAY AWAY from Brightland Homes! You'll be glad you did!!!!

I would have to agree wholeheartedly with Chris R. and Thomas C. as this has been our experience…read morewith our new build in Broomfield - Quail Creek. They are good at saying the right things and placating you during the entire process. We visited our house weekly and brought items to their attention, however these items were never given attention. We had many items on our punchlist - some were addressed, but not until the very last minute. The rest were thrown to warranty who is overloaded with the volume of items that get thrown their way. I got the feeling that so many people we dealt with along the way were frustrated with their jobs. It makes me think that they need a complete overhaul of their processes, and they certainly need better communication between all parties involved in the building process. We have never signed off on our punchlist and Wonderland has never placed their nice little brass placard on our front porch, nor have they ever followed up to see if things were completed. That's a bit telling! I had a Ryland home built many years ago and although there were multiple issues, they were addressed immediately and the workmanship far exceeded what we have seen with our new Wonderland Home.

1.) MAJOR Theft/Safety/Security Issues with Markel Homes Employees…read more * Safety Concern #1: A gun was stolen from my home after Markel Homes Employees and/or Contractors accessed my property (after closing) to complete repair work warranty work items. The gun was subsequently "magically" returned after I filed a police report and emailed Markel Homes employees (only), alerting them to the theft. There are further details regarding Markel employees' access to my home after closing and other information that I am leaving out for brevity's sake. * Safety Concern #2: Myself and at least 3 other witnesses confirmed that Markel contractors were seen drinking on the job throughout the day (as early as 11am) on multiple days. Markel Homes maintains they take *strict* security and safety measures, however Jason Markel and other Markel employees were completely unaware of this happening. * I installed a security system and cameras at my home after these two unsettling incidents. One video clearly shows contractors come to my home, looking around, and leaving after they noticed the doorbell camera. I provided this video to Jason Markel and he could not provide a reasonable explanation for why his contractors were on my property, only that he agreed it was of concern. The workers were working at a different house down the street and I have a "Private Owner" sign in front to make it obvious that the residence is occupied. * Despite having video evidence and a stolen (and returned) firearm, Markel refused to take ANY RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER for their employees or do anything to anything to make it right. Markel took the position that I've "already received enough 'concessions' when {I} originally negotiated the purchase of the house," which obviously has zero relation to these current issues beyond illustrating that they pay little if any regard to their customers once they have their money in hand. 2.) Warranty Items and Repairs Remain Incomplete 6 Months After Closing (as of the date of this review). * We closed on 9-24-2019, and Markel has completed only ONE of the many warranty/punch list items they "promised" to complete. I have contacted Markel *and* the warranty company no less than 10 times (if not more), and typically receive a response with an excuse for why they are unable to complete the repair at this time OR they send someone to complete the repairs, however the "completed" items have turned out as bad or worse than the item was to begin with. 3.) Sloppy, Rushed, and Cavalier Work. * Countless instances of sloppy, sub-par work (see photos for just a few examples). Photos were taken of the house at 4 months old, lest you think the work looks as though it's several years old. 4.) General attitude of unhelpfulness and condescension throughout the company. * Markel does an excellent job at making you think *you* are the problem, not their slapdash, careless workmanship or fraudulent employees. It was my understanding that, in the past, Markel Homes has been a quality builder, however, with their entrance into the non-custom home market, it is clear they have very little to offer clients but a "take it or leave it" approach to home building and a reflexive "No."

As soon as we reached out with some homes that we were interested in, he quickly set up showings for the following day. We ended up seeing 11 homes, and falling in love with one of them. The whole process was easy and Cassidy was constantly a joy to work with. He went to bat for us and was able to negotiate a lower purchase price, and money back for concessions after the inspection. He truly is a gem and we were so lucky to find him!

It…read morewas surreal stepping into the house I sketched the previous year and seeing it just as I had imagined it. There were no major issues to take care of when we did our final walkthrough and they were very quick about fixing any of the minor issues we picked out. Other companies we approached for our custom project were all cost plus builders and started out at much higher rates than G.J. Gardner. We also looked into a few other fixed cost builders for the project but they were either not willing to do a custom home or did not seem to have an understanding for the mountain home design we were trying to achieve. I don't think I will ever need another home, but if I did, I would go with G.J. Gardner again.

We've worked with several realtors over the years, and Brian Canady was hands down our favorite…read more From day one he made the process feel easy and enjoyable. He's personable, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly has an investor's mindset. He noticed things in homes that we missed and helped us understand what they meant in terms of cost, repairs, and long-term value. Because we were house hunting from out of town, Brian went above and beyond, including filming video walkthroughs, rearranging his schedule when we were in town last-minute, and even meeting with contractors for us. He's honest, straightforward, and truly cares about his clients. We can't recommend him highly enough.

The Canady Team defines great service and taking care of their client. We felt confident that our…read morebest interest was their first priority. I was skeptical at first, all of their reviews were five stars, but decided to call anyway. I was talking to Tiffany, and at the same time talking to an Agent that was recommended from USAA. It didn't take long to notice the difference. While we were still getting ready to move from our location, upon our request, Tiffany looked at a house for us and immediately gave us all the issues. That same day, in her very busy schedule, she found the time to take a video commenting on the problems. She wasn't trying to sell houses, she was trying to match homes to families. It was more than I expected, leaps and bounds better than I received from the other Agent, it was clear who I could depend on to get my family settled. When we finally arrived in Colorado Springs, we were excited to meet the Canady Team. Tiffany was unavailable so Zack stepped in to care of us. The transition was flawless. We spent some time getting to know each other. He quickly explained the process and highlighted some expectations, then it was off to look at houses. He had it all lined up and by the end of the day, my wife and I agreed, Zack had our back. We felt that Zack, as much as Tiffany, with the entire team, would take care of us and get us into our new home as painlessly as possible. We were not disappointed. We were, in fact, very impressed with everything they did for us, from the visit coordination to ensuring the house specification were as advertised. Some Agents don't perform to the same level of excellence as the Canady Team. Zach walked us through the close of our new home. He scheduled our appointments, prioritized and followed up on our deliverables. He was there for us when USAA, our lender, failed to do their part in the process which delayed the closing schedule. He was on the phone with them immediately trying to fix it, understanding that it wasn't just a date being pushed but the expectation and hope of finally being stable again. He worked to smooth out the situation with seller, defending our position in what was a sequence of mistakes out of our control. In the end, he guided us through closure and checked up on again a month later to ensure we were okay and to see if we needed anything. More than we could have hoped for and lucky that we that took the chance. With no regrets, only praise, we hope you give them a chance and make that phone call.
