House Hunting- Why we chose to build a Ryan Home

I am writing this blog mainly because everyone else's blogs helped me so much throughout this process of building our Ryan Home. From our understanding we are one of the first Genoa homes, at least the first in our community and the first one our flooring rep had ever done so I wanted to write a blog for any Genoa Model lovers out there :-).

My name is Ashley and I am married with one son. My husband and I began our home search about three months ago (honestly we have been window shopping for over a year), we currently rent and it has been our dream for some time now to own our own home. We selected a realtor and searched house after house, month after month. Finally! We found our dream home! It was a beautiful contemporary home on a pond near both of our families. We LOVED this house and put in and offer. A few back and forth's later and our offer was accepted. That was the easy part... Afterwards came the shock of a life time; the inspection. This 25 year old masterpiece needed $20,000 in repairs! Not to anyone's surprise the seller did not want to repair the items and we did not want to get into a project that would require so much time and energy. With a 3 year old and wanting more little ones someday it just couldn't work for us. Sooooo... Back to square one.

We looked at 7 or 8 more houses before we decided to take a look at Ryan Homes. It was actually the community that really drew us in. It is a beautiful community with ponds and a pool and several parks for our son to play. I never thought I would ever like houses that are right up next to each other but this community would be a wonderful place for our son to grow up. There are a lot of young families and lots of outdoor activities for him to enjoy. Not to mention the prospect of picking and choosing everything we wanted in our future home was pretty great, especially after looking at home after home that seemed to be missing something or another.

So, therefore we came to conclusion that Ryan Homes was the way the to go!!

Thanks for reading!

Ashley

    Ryan Homes seems like a good company to work with. It's great that you get to choose the furniture that you want and even the details as we have a Ryan Home. It was easy to build compared to one that we would have designed and built on our own time.
