For two years my husband and I have been searching for the perfect, huge, custom detailed  house at our price range of the low $300,000.00 let me tell you its like a needle in a hay stack. After several Realtors and countless houses we’ve seen we slowly started to give up, you see what I wanted in my first home people don’t normally get until there second or third house. One could say I’m into having the best or nothing at all, I don’t settle. When you want a custom detailed house those normally start at half a million or you pay 40 to 50 thousand dollars in up grades. After almost giving up for a while and just stay renting I was given Cathy Hartmann-Gladwells name and number she owns Timberland Reality, I called her and told her what I was looking for I wanted a huge house for the least amount of money. Cathy showed us a new undeveloped neighborhood that had only one house built but with no finish work to view. It was huge 2189 sq ft. It was a great deal until I saw the design center and saw that this builder may give you sq footage but totally lacks in the finish work and I can’t afford another 50 thousand in up grades. That’s when I found out what is truly going to make me happy, its the custom detail finishes and those are expensive. Before I even backed out of that house Cathy showed us a home that was built by Bonterra Homes I was shocked at the beautiful custom finish work that came standard in these homes. The best part is I still had a 2000 sq ft home but for ten thousand dollars less. I can truly say in our experience good things come to those who wait. Cathy found my dream home for me in just two tries, I felt like she truly wanted to make me happy and took the time to understand what I wanted before I even new what I wanted. To make a long story short if custom finish work is what you want in a home but can’t afford to pay 50 thousand in upgrades you must see a Bonterra Home. I just can’t believe Cathy found what I wanted in a Bonterra Home for the price. This may sound silly but I fell like a kid who’s never been to a candy toy shop, I’m so excited I close on my house next friday. Thank you Cathy for being the best at what you do and thank you Bonterra Homes for giving me my gorgeous fancy custom house.

Sincerely,
