To Sell or Not to Sell

Realty Client, 2008

Sell or not to sell, I had to make up my mind.  I knew that I needed a great realtor if I was to sell my home.  I decided on Evelyn Felt.  She helped guide me through the selling process.  She took charge and told what I needed to do to get my home sold.  She soon brought perspective buyers through my home.  She did it!  I received an offer and sold my home.  Evelyn’s professionalism is a credit not only to herself, but to Ideal, the city of Decatur, and the entire state of Indiana.

Quite & Secluded

Tigers Retreat residents
since 2007

We really like the quietness and seclusion of the subdivision. We sit on the patio in the evening it is peaceful and relaxing, we enjoy our villa. Yes, it is close to town, but we still have seclusion and peacefulness. There isn’t anything we don’t like about or villa. We like the roominess of the villa itself with the square footage and the sunroom. The villa is good quality, and the workmanship is fantastic. Any problems or repairs that are needed have been done in a timely fashion, we appreciate that.

Semi-Rural Atmosphere

Greenfield Farms residents
since 2007

We love this Greenfield Farms community. We have moved here from the country and we like this semi-rural atmosphere. Nice and quiet - farm fields across the road - yet close to town, doctors, hospitals and shopping. Really like the area - it's like being in the country. We are very happy with our new IDEAL home.

Country Meadows is the "IDEAL" place to live. This is our first home and we are very thankful to move into such a great community, along with a brand new house that we can call our own. Everyone in the neighborhood is extremely welcoming and friendly. In addition to the great community, our house has been exactly how we pictured it.

Downsized & Happy

Two or three years ago Max and I decided to sell our big house and buy a smaller one. We looked at several and when we looked at the Charleston by Ideal, we know it was the house for us! Easy to care for and it is home to us. We just love it!

I am happy to say that I moved into my new home in the Ravenwood addition in Columbia City and love it! The people at Ideal Suburban Homes were great to work with, along with Nora Ferrell at Orizon Real Estate. Together they were able to help me get just the right home to fit my needs. I am very pleased with the end result and would encourage anyone to take a look at what they have to offer.

Tigers Retreat - Helpful & Money Saving Suggestions

I enjoyed building my new villa with Ideal Suburban Homes. They made the process easy! It was nice to always have a key during construction and have access to my new home.

If any issues needed addressed, Paul Conrad was quick to answer questions and kept in touch with me.

I appreciated that communication. While I was designing my home, Rae Jean was always available for questions and gave me helpful suggestions that saved me money.

Someone from Ideal was always available for me.

I like the convenient location of Tigers Retreat, it is close to everything, but has the quietness and feel of living in the country. I enjoy my new home.

Good Construction - Nice Prices

Eric and Nancy were one of the first residents to buy a villa at Tigers Retreat. There are so many things they enjoy about the community itself. Nancy loves to walk with her grandson and "Tigers Retreat is perfect for that," Nancy commented.

"We are close to town, great location, with a great neighborhood."

Their villa is right on the pond with the fountain.

"We enjoy the pond and the fountain. It's nice to site on the patio, watch the water, and listen to the fountain."

Eric was thrilled at the lower energy bills, "It is so much cheaper than what we were paying". This is good construction, with nice prices and many interior choices" Eric futher commented.

Their villa is a Traditions II with 1,432 square feet with a sunroom. Eric and Nancy have done many landscaping items of their choice but "having the exterior maintenance taken care of for you, truly frees up time to enjoy life and hobbies".

Villa Living at it's Best

"We are so glad we made the move to Tigers Retreat. The size of our home is just right for us and fits our lifestyle."

The John & Jeanne's home is a Traditions I, 1,556 square foot Villa with 2 bedrooms, study and sunroom. John and Jeanne like to travel so living in a Villa Community where lawn care and snow removal is taken care of allows them that freedom. John can now enjoy his golf game instead of moving the yard at home.

"We also have a nice neighborhood. The neighbors look out for each other here. You don't find neighbors like we have here at Tigers Retreat."

John & Jeanne truly enjoy their Villa and their Villa Community at Tigers Retreat!

Living Well - Villa Style

Gary and Jody have made the adjustment well to villa living. Gary and Jody both like their brand new home. Jody commented that having many selections and color choices to choose from made the building process even more fun for her. The interior design is theirs, chosen and designed by them.

"We like being this close to town, but yet it is quiet here. Even with all the new construction going on, you can't hear it inside our home."

Gary and Jody's villa is a 1,556 square foot Traditions I with fireplace and sunroom.

"We have lots of room and found it no problem to scale down from our other home. Our daughter had just gotten married, and so she got a lot of our furniture and items we didn't need."

Gary and Jody are pleased with their decision to move to Tigers Retreat. They feel a sense of security with the neighbors looking our for each other and enjoy the peaceful neighborhood.

Merry Christmas from John & Bernice,

In June, we decided to build a new house.

The farm was beginning to be too much work and Pat, Heather and the kids needed more room. So, in 94 days from start to finish, we moved in to our new home.

John was on the job everyday, inspecting the progress and workmanship. We love it all on one floor, 1500 square feet. It is just right for us.

You can tell by the pictures, the Great Room has a cathedral ceiling, dining is off the kitchen. We spend most of our time in the "Florida Room."

There are 2 bedrooms and a study/den where the fan is in the picture. Mother's china hutch adds lots of atmosphere, too.

The kids helped a lot. Pat put in all of the landscaping. Michael hung blinds and curtains, etc... and did a lot of moving and heavy lifting. It just worked out with his work schedule. The girls helped pack up a lot of the odds and ends. We-are really enjoying our new home.

Hope this finds you all well. Have a joyous Christmas and Happy New Year! Stop in and see us!

Professional & Friendly

We recently moved into one of your homes and would like to commend some of your employees. The person we had the most frequent interaction with, naturally is Paul Conrad. He is a genuine asset to your company! He is very kind, patient, understanding, and really works to solve problems. In addition, the house orientation he conducts is very thorough. It has been a pleasure working with him.

We also found Bob Leiter to be very helpful and easy to work with, plus he handled a sticky situation during the closing as well. Rexette Reed responded to our concerns quickly and the Decatur meeting, conducted by Steve Schumacher, was very professional.

Sincerely,

Bruce & Mary A.
