As
a
first
time
home
buyer
I
haven’t
gone
through
the
purchasing
experience
before
so
I
don’t
have
much
to
compare
to,
however
I
will
attest
that
Lakeview
has
set
the
bar
very
high
for
me.
From
beginning
to
present,
Lakeview
has
followed
their
word
and
we
closed
on
a
beautiful
home
in
Dec
2021.
We
initially
purchased
in
Jan
2021
so
we
were
very
pleased
that
we
were
among
the
few
who
were
minimally
impacted
by
delays
as
the
other
2
builders
in
this
development
are
very
behind.
A
friend
of
ours
with
Aspen
only
had
their
foundation
poured
nearing
June
of
2022
when
their
closing
was
supposed
to
be
back
in
March.
Steve
and
Eve
were
helpful
and
transparent
during
the
initial
signing
and
with
any
follow
up
emails
down
the
road.
Mandy
was
very
friendly
and
patient
with
us
during
our
decor
appointment,
however
we
do
wish
we
had
either
extra
time
for
the
in
person
appointment
or
were
given
digital
access
to
options
and
upgrades
so
we
can
design
and
plan
our
colour
scheme
beforehand.
Another
review
mentioned
that
the
builder
included
a
clause
putting
you
at
default
of
your
purchase
agreement
if
you
didn’t
provide
mortgage
approval
within
a
set
time.
While
it
is
standard
practice
to
provide
the
builder
with
a
*pre-approval*
shortly
after
signing,
that
person
completely
misunderstood
the
true
meaning.
By
my
mistake,
I
had
forgotten
about
this
requirement
and
missed
Lakeview’s
several
follow
up
emails
reminding
us
about
submitting
the
pre-approval.
3
weeks
before
closing
I
was
going
over
our
contract
again,
noticed
this
and
reached
out
to
the
support
team
who
escalated
our
concern
to
Steven
at
head
office.
Steven
was
100%
accommodating,
helped
us
submit
this
requirement
and
made
an
exception
for
us
despite
being
almost
6
months
late.
This
could’ve
been
a
large
setback
nearing
closing
due
to
that
clause,
however
the
builder
didn’t
turn
this
into
an
issue
it
didn’t
need
to
be.
Yes
the
purchase
agreement
is
long,
filled
with
clauses
and
may
be
overwhelming,
but
taking
the
time
to
understand
it
properly
helps
you
understand
that
this
is
just
all
legal
terminology
to
protect
ourselves
and
the
builder
in
extreme
worst
case
scenarios.
At
the
end
of
the
day
Lakeview
delivered
on
their
promise,
built
us
a
beautiful
home
for
a
really
cheap
price
and
left
us
completely
happy.
Aside
from
any
minor
complaints
in
our
PDI
we
so
far
haven’t
noticed
anything
majorly
concerning
6
months
after
closing.
Contractors
have
been
coming
in
time
to
time
to
resolve
our
PDI
claims
and
have
been
very
friendly
and
respectful.
Being
one
of
the
first
houses
on
our
street
we’ve
been
observing
how
long
construction
is
taking
with
the
other
builders
and
their
progress
helps
us
appreciate
Lakeview
that
much
more.
The
cherry
on
top
was
the
gift
basket
Lakeview
sent!
Thank
you
once
again
for
building
this
wonderful
community.
