“We moved from Michigan to North Carolina in December 2002 and had since looked for a new custom home in the Triangle area. In addition to the location, our emphasis for our new house has been on the quality and craftsmanship. But unlike most of the homeowners, we also paid special attention to details and design innovation in floor plans with respect to energy efficiency as well as space economy. We took the approach of looking/examining various houses under construction prior to talking to the builders to satisfy, first our own particular needs without the builder’s influence. However, we have not succeeded, for a period of nearly seven months, in identifying one that would meet all our requirements. In June 2003, our realtor who knew about our basic requirements informed us that a house udders construction in Preston Village would be worthwhile for a visit. Frankly, we were not very enthusiastic about it first under the influence of our seven months frustration. However, when arrived at the house, which only had a finished superstructure, we were immediately attracted to its apparent quality and craftsmanship. We carefully examined various aspects of the interior construction and floor plans during three subsequent and lengthy visits, like we always did. But this time we were convinced that we have found a house, having already out basic required components that would also meet the builder’s standards so that we can safely and easily build further to establish a new home we want. In the same month, we signed the purchase agreement with Poythress Homes, Inc. and met Steve for the first time. Steve gave us the first impression of being a confident/enthusiastic and very polite young person. We were a bit surprised to find that such a high quality and sophisticated house with all essential components were constructed under the supervision of a person as young as Steve. But we soon found out that, in addition to the qualities mentioned above, he already developed the knowledge of an experienced homebuilder with also a sound management style; he knows the business. After the execution of the purchase agreement, Vicki visited the home site nearly on a daily basis and could always find the presence of Steve. This clearly reveals the responsible nature of Steve and also represents an indicator of his dedication to his profession, explaining why he has already gained such an extensive homebuilder experience at his age. This experience also extends to include high quality service. He was not only listening to our fastidious needs but also ensured that these needs be satisfactorily fulfilled. With Steve’s knowledge, this builder/homeowner team-effort had ensured quality and perfection every step of the way. Steve’s intimated participation/contribution to these team efforts was reflected by his enthusiasms on responding to our certain requests of construction details by showing us the pros and cons of these details in various newly constructed houses under or associated with his supervision. These efforts had never been deteriorated due to our frequent changes of needs/plans. We valued highly this unique type of quality service from Steve, which we doubted that we would receive from builders other than Steve. In addition, he is certainly sincere about being up-dated concerning design trends, as he frequently pointed out to us certain such features in our house that have escaped our attention. It also needs to be emphasized that, during the course of construction, Steve had made constructive suggestions/solutions to keeping the construction costs within our budget but without compromising the quality that we demanded. With the up most satisfaction, we closed the purchase on October 1, 2003. Steve’s service, in terms of quality and timeliness, continued after the closing, which we also this is a unique characteristic of Poythress Homes, Inc. The fact is that now we not only own a beautiful house that we always wanted but have also established a friendship with Steve, one that is above and beyond an ordinary builder/owner relationship. I recommend without any hesitation that Steve Poythress be the builder for your new home.”
