GuildQuality recently honored Atlanta new home builder Traton Homes by giving them the 2008 GuildMaster Award. GuildQuality is a service for building professionals who are interested in using customer feedback to monitor and improve the quality of their service.

The organization provides customer satisfaction surveying and performance benchmarking for builders, remodelers and real estate developers that value quality. This is a good piece of information for home shoppers because if the builder you are looking to purchase a home from is a member of GuildQuality, then you know that they take pride in their product and care about customer satisfaction.

The GuildMaster Award is given to only a handful of GuildQuality members for exemplary quality and customer service. In order to even be considered for the award, the GuildQuality member must have achieved a recommended rate of 90% or greater with at least 70% of their customers completing a satisfaction survey. These are very high standards to meet, and speaks volumes about Traton Homes.

Traton Homes has been active in the Smyrna Vinings real estate for years and has built such neighborhoods as Covered Bridge at Barnes Mill, Cooper’s Glen, King Valley at Vinings, Collier Gate, The Retreat at Old Vinings Lake, Carriage Hill and Reed Place.

If you’d like to learn more about either new or resale homes built by Traton Homes in Smyrna Vinings, don’t hesitate to contact us.

John Wieland is working to build confidence in new home purchases with his “Value Protection” program. Five years after closing, if the homeowner’s new John Wieland home does not appraise for at least the purchase price, John Wieland Homes and Neighborhoods will pay them the difference. The complete program conditions and procedures are included on an enrollment certificate that is completed at the time of closing.

John Wieland says, “With more than three decades of homebuilding experience across the Southeast, I have seen the market rise and fall. I am so confident that our homes retain their value that I am willing to put my money where my mouth is. Our new no cost Value Protection program lets customers buy with confidence, regardless of market conditions.”

The program began in April. Value Protection will be included on each and every new John Wieland home at no cost to the homebuyer. Offering peace of mind to the homebuyer against any decline in value, this program is unmatched in the homebuilding industry. Best of all, this program does not require homeowners to sell their home in order to make a claim; they simply order an appraisal from an agreed upon list of appraisers.

Current John Wieland new homes include Olde Ivy at Vinings, Vinings Estates, One Ivy Walk in Smyrna Vinings.

John Wieland Homes has been building in the Smyrna Vinings community for years and are the builders of such other neighborhoods as Paces Point, Market Village, The Ridge at Vinings Estates, The Cove at Vinings Estates, Paces Green and Heritage at Vinings.

If you have any questions on the Value Protection program or are interested in John Wieland Homes, don’t hesitate to contact us.
