Entrance Monument Complete at Piscataway Landing!

We are putting the final touches on our newest entrance monument feature at Piscataway Landing. We have had great success in our first few months of our opening, and currently have 5 remaining lots in the first phase which has a total of 17 lots. We have had a great draw of traffic from those “large lot lovers.” It’s quite a natural response, considering we are one of the only builders in Prince George’s County building and developing 1-2 acre lots starting in the high $300′s. If you haven’t yet visited, it’s worth a trip! Jack Lightner (our Production Manager), may even have one of his famous banana breads waiting for you in the model home….-)

Haverford Homes at Piscataway Landing Update 2.18.11

Have you seen Piscataway Landing lately? Our Land Development Director Stephen Gunn gives us a quick update on sales, landscaping, and the overall progress of the Community (see short video below). We now have all underground utilities complete, and have gone “green” with our new infiltration trenches which control water runoff. The Spring Market has officially arrived! Over the last week we’ve had multiple sales across the County. Our lenders are advising us that the rates are slowly rising as the economy regains confidence. Many experts say that the buying opportunities are now.  In fact, some would say to make a move now, before the sellers cut back on the sugar that make the deals so sweet.

A Holiday Story That Must Be Told

 

Jack Lightner

 

 

Haverford Homes is a Home Building Company located in the Metropolitan Washington DC area.  Our goal since our inception in 1993 has been to treat everyone with respect and honesty and to strive for the very best in customer service.  Keeping this fact in perspective, the following is “A Holiday Story That Must Be Told.”

Jack Lightner, Production Supervisor for many years with Haverford, received a desperate phone call on Christmas Eve afternoon from a property owner at the St. James community requesting an emergency repair.  It was explained that multiple holiday guests were scheduled to arrive within the hour and repairs needed to be made. 

Hearing the tone of the plea, Jack left his family and drove to the development site, a distance of 45 minutes from his home. 

Upon his arrival, multiple cars were already parked in the driveway.  He knocked at the door and was greeted by the property owner with a “thank you for coming” look in his eye.  Jack was then escorted into the large kitchen family room, which to his surprise was occupied with 18 couples representing present property owners and residents at St. James.  In unison they shouted “Merry Christmas” and held up their personal Christmas cards, each carrying Jack’s name.  The remaining Property Owners at St. James confirmed they also would have been present for this appreciation gathering but had already left town for the holidays.

Jack was called to the residence under the pretense of a major problem only to be informed that it was Jack the homeowners wanted to see and personally thank for all he had done in delivering their homes on time.  They proceeded to express their appreciation for his professional attitude and genuine caring as their warranty work and inspections were scheduled, implemented, and successfully completed.  This was further evidenced with his emergency response to their request this day.

As expressed by these 18 families, “Haverford Homes for them is singularly….. Jack Lightner……….” 

This is the same Jack Lightner who takes the time to be at Piscataway Landing each and every Saturday and Sunday to provide his construction expertise and enthusiastic site tours for prospective buyers for this new Haverford community.  Piscataway will be successful as a direct result of Jack’s commitment to excellence in the product that he is delivering and in his undeniable gift of caring for other people.  Haverford Homes buyers recognize this quality and immediately gravitate to associate with Jack. 

Happy New Year! We are all blessed to have Jack on the Haverford TEAM……

New Kitchens….new feel

It’s a busy city at Piscataway Landing. We are grading, sodding, installing, and digging. Even in this deep freeze our crews are working hard to put the finishing touches on these homes. Today our painters were applying some designer colors  to lot 46B (seen below), and our HVAC contractor was installing thermostats. If you think this sounds exciting, just wait until we post some pictures of the competed product. Our inbox in filled with inquries right now:)

Future Model Home

We also stopped in at lot 15C (8405 Poplar Hill Drive, Clinton MD), to check the progress on our new kitchen/sunroom design. We’ve posted before and after pictures to show the pass through into the 12×15 sunroom. We think this allows for a much more open feel. Let us know what you think. It was a good day with lots of progress.

Warren Buffett sees housing market bouncing back by 2011

 
By Andrew Frye, Bloomberg News

Billionaire Warren Buffett said the U.S. will recover
from the residential real estate slump by 2011 as
demand for houses catches up with the supply that
accumulated during the bubble.

“Within a year or so, residential housing problems
should largely be behind us,” Buffett wrote Saturday
in his annual letter to the shareholders of his  
Berkshire Hathaway
. “Prices will remain far below
‘bubble’ levels, of course, but for every seller or
lender hurt by this there will be a buyer who
benefits. Indeed, many families that couldn’t afford
to buy an appropriate home a few years ago now
find it well within their means.”
