Dear Mr. Zuckerman:
It is coming up on one year since we moved into our new Avalon home in the Seven Oaks Community. I want to let you know how much my family and I are enjoying our home and the community. Avalon delivered on everything it said it would and we are very happy. Anyone that wants to build a great new home in a fun and family oriented community should definitely look at an Avalon Home.
This is the third home I have had built. I must say that nothing ever goes perfect when building a home. There are always that happen that are out of the builder’s control. These include weather, sub contractor delays, material shortages, etc. Even with these obstacles, Avalon delivered and made the process much smoother than our previous two builders. Avalon also responded quickly on the few minor service requests that I had during our warranty period. I must say that a lot of Avalon’s success, for me was due to Sue Lawrence. She is the best person a builder could ever have at doing whatever it takes to make the customer happy. Don’t ever let her leave!
We have had many friends and family come to visit us since my family and I moved in. They all comment on the architecture if our Avalon Antigua home. They love the open floor plan, the art nooks, the coffered ceilings and the obvious attention to detail in the design. Of course, my family and I agree with them 100%. I always have said that when you buy a house it isn’t a home. A home is what you make of it, but what a way to start!

Dear Mr. Zuckerman:
I am writing this letter 15 months after we moved into our lovely home in Pinecrest Estates in Lutz. We are extremely happy with our Antigua model home and have received nothing but praise about the design, from floor plan to all of the amenities.
In the initial phase, Sandy, at your model center guided us through all of the steps in a warm, professional and motherly manor. You are fortunate to have her as your mom. Also the staff Don and Mary were very helpful.
I still own a home in Los Angeles and will be bi-coastal for the next four years, since I am a semi retired Professor of Graphic Design at California State University Long Beach. During the construction process I made five trips over a year to check on the construction. I was greeted by your construction supervisors, John Leon, Keith and Guy. All of them were very informative and followed through on every question or concern I had. I hired my own inspector to inspect each stage of the construction. The inspector had high praise for your firm initially and that continued throughout the process.
So why did I single out Sue Lawrence for the commendation? To me Sue was the Go-to person. Every time there was a problem, Sue solved it. When I forgot to send in my payments for upgrades, Sue contacted me. When I needed reassurance that everything would be just fine, Sue was there for me. Last week, I called about a leak in my roof. Sue gave me all of the information I needed to get it taken care of. My first experience of building a new home was greatly enhanced with Sue Lawrence on the wing in Tarpon Springs.
I highly recommend Avalon Building Corporation to anyone that respects professionalism.

Dear Ralph;
It's been a year already since we have moved in to the house that you built. And everyday we are truly glad that we chose Avalon to build our home specially of what we read in the papers about other builder- substandard construction practices.
And so we want to thank you and your staff for accommodating our requests no matter how small and the flexibility that you demonstrated during the construction period. It is your kind of company that can restore the reputation that the Florida builders have lost.
We hope for your continued success and unhindered growth.

Dear Ralph,
We have been in our new Avalon home for almost six months now, and we have loved every minute of it. Our friends and family love it too, and they are still giving us compliments to this day.
It has been a fast year and a-half since we first visited the Avalon model in Eagle Crest. We greatly appreciate the service and attention to detail that we received throughout the entire process. Everyone from Sandy to Alan to Sue, and especially Guy, were a pleasure to work with. Your team is patient, understanding, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. Your sub-contractors were very good, and nice to us every time we came in contact with them. The supposedly painful process of building a house was an enjoyable experience with Avalon. Guy and the others also responded quickly to address the few minor blips uncovered during the final walk-through, and within the first few weeks. We can't thank you enough for the finished product.
We hope to stop by one of your new models and see how things are progressing with Avalon. Rest assured that we are very happy customers, and would not hesitate to refer other new home builders to you, or offer any assistance we can to Avalon. Please give our best to your associates, and share our thanks with each of them who played a part in our selection and building process.

Dear Ralph;
This letter comes to relate to you how happy Karen and I are with our new Avalon home. We have been in the home a week now, and the excitement has still not worn off. All of our friends that see the home compliment us on the style and quality of workmanship.
These same friends told us how terrible their building experiences (with other builders) and tried to influence us to buy an existing home. Well all I can say to them is that they were
wrong!
This was the first home Karen and I have built. I have already referred people to you, and will continue to do so based on our experience. I would like to also extend to you the opportunity to send potential customers to our home to view some of the unique changes we made. That's how proud we are!
I would also like to extend a special thanks to John Leon our construction superintendent. He was simply awesome. He would answer his phone at 7pm, on weekends, you name it. Hw was always there for us.
Please also extend our thanks to Darline who assisted us in pricing our change orders, and Sue who closed our home without a hitch!

Dear Ralph,
Building a brand new home is supposed to be a pleasant experience but, more often than not, it is more headache than pleasure. While not our first home building experience, I must admit that this was the best experience I have had.
From the very start, Avalon showed their true professionalism and commitment to excellence through their personnel and, ultimately, in their workmanship.
Sandy worked with us to help determine what made sense for us. She was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. She is friendly, pleasant, honest and very professional in her dealings. She always had time to spend with us – no matter how busy she was.
With Sue, Dot and Elaine to help with the beginnings of our project, we had a smooth and easy start for our new home. Sue was fantastic! She figured out early on how to best deal with me and was always very responsive. She knew how to calm me down and helped with all the details.
We were fortunate to have Guy assigned as our superintendent. We had heard many good things about him and they all proved to be true. Guy stuck with me throughout the project and endured multiple daily calls (even on the weekends). He always called back and worked hard to make sure everything was handled in a timely manner and to my satisfaction (which wasn’t always easy!). He is awesome!
I want to thank you, Ralph, for your patience with me throughout this process. As you know, I am very high strung and very vocal about my disappointments. You were always there to calm me down.
We are very happy in our beautiful new home and highly recommend Avalon to others. I would be happy to share my Avalon experience with others. Thank you for doing such a great job!

Dear Avalon,
My has time flown. We just celebrated our two-year anniversary of owning our Avalon IV home in Thurston Groves. We are very happy to say that we have thoroughly enjoyed living in it. I am extremely impressed with the house design with its open floor plan, integrated plant shelves and art niches. This allows the homeowner to change a house into a "home". Also impressive is the home's energy efficiency. We are very pleased with a home of this size to rival the utilities we paid on the apartment that we lived in.
Special thanks to Ralph for such an impressive plan, Sandy at the Model Center for guiding us through the contract process, Guy for answering our questions and looking after our home during construction and Sue for expertly handling all of our financial needs and providing a smooth closing.
All of the personnel at Avalon were very professional and treated us with respect which, we were very thankful. We would definitely recommend Avalon Building Corporation to anyone wanting a home in Avalon's building area.

Dear Ralph,
It's bee almost two years since we took possession of our home, and we still love it as much as the day we moved in. What attracted us to the home in the fist place were the many architectural items that you incorporated into your well laid out base home. The coffered ceilings, pot shelves, niches, arches, keystones, and wall details are what made the home stand out. We found the price to be a good value when compared to other builders in the area. The construction was solid and better than many other builders we checked out.
As far as the construction process goes, well, nothing is perfect. Problems arose during construction, but you addressed them whenever we had a problem. Your right hand, Sue, was a joy to work with. She was always ready to make changes or additions to the home. I found her to be well organized and delightful. The decorators that we used were excellent.
I guess the biggest compliment a customer can give to his builder would be to have the builder build their next home. Yes, if I had to do it again, I would use Avalon and I'm sure the second time around it would be bigger and better!
