Each week, readers of New Homes Marketplace ask questions of area homebuilders. Bob Meyn, vice president of sales and marketing for the Chicago Division of Taylor Morrison, provides this week’s answers.
Q: In the Chicago area, what home building project or community are you most proud of, and why?
— Brenda, Woodstock
A: We take pride in all of our communities. Given the investment level and product type each Taylor Morrison community is unique. Three communities that are opening this spring and that we are very proud and excited about are all very different. Colfax Crossing will offer 101 maintenance-free townhomes in Des Plaines. Finding and developing property in infill areas such as Des Plaines is very difficult to come by so we are proud of this new community. Two additional communities we are excited about include Tallgrass in Lake Barrington, which will offer luxury single-family residences in a gated neighborhood surrounded by picturesque forest preserve land and served by highly-acclaimed Barrington School District and Symphony Bay in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, which will be a premier maintenance-free, age-targeted neighborhood offering 425 single-family homes and duplexes and lake access.
Q: How do you maintain communication with the buyer after they’ve moved in?
— Dave, St. Charles
A: During the post-closing warranty period we meet with buyers at 30 days to review warranty items and again at 11 months to address any items that may need attention.
