One example of this is at The Orchards of East Cherokee in Woodstock, where the active adult builder has recently started construction on three new homes due to an increased sales pace over the past 45 days.

“If you come out to East Cherokee today, you’ll see three homes under construction,” said Mitch Block, director of sales and marketing for The Orchards Group. “One of the things that we always hear from prospective customers in our communities is how glad they are to see construction progress every time they visit. The fact that we have ongoing construction in our communities shows buyers that we are a viable builder and an investment in a home in an Orchards Group community is a safe one. Even though three homes may not seem like a lot compared to our pace four or five years ago, many of our competitors have not started more than that over the past 12 months, and our customers have taken notice of that.”

The three homes under construction at East Cherokee are elegant, single family detached homes in the Belmont, Winston and Piedmont floor plans. These homes will offer two or three bedrooms, a den, two-car garages, walk-in closets, covered porches and/or screened porches/sunrooms. Each of the homes has luxurious interior features, like hardwood floors, granite countertops, 42-inch maple cabinets, excellent kitchens and baths plus much more, all provided in a low maintenance environment. The Orchards of East Cherokee also boasts excellent amenities such as a swimming pool and clubhouse with fitness center, game and card room, grill, gourmet kitchen, fireplace and more.

“In today’s incredibly competitive marketplace, it is crucial for us to be well-informed about and adjust to the ever-changing consumer attitudes, expectations and preferences,” said Mitch Block, director of sales and marketing for The Orchards Group. “Our customers’ satisfaction with The Orchards Group ensures our viability in the market, and we are very pleased to end this year with consistently positive ratings from our customers. It is such a powerful compliment to our entire operation; it keeps the staff motivated to keep up the good work and sets us on an optimistic path for the New Year.” 

The company recently achieved a 99.5 percent satisfaction rating from GuildQuality. GuildQuality is an independent third-party company that surveys the customers of its 500+ builder member network. The Orchards Group’s ratings are based on interviews conducted with homeowners who purchased a home in the last year. These interviews are conducted at both the 60 day and 11 month anniversaries of their moving into their new homes. Homeowners were asked to rank their experiences with the builder in several categories including activities, amenities, cleanliness and construction quality, and The Orchards Group received near-perfect scores in all areas.

“Assessing the results of these surveys allows us to identify areas needing improvement and better understand our customers’ priorities,” added Block.

The greatest feedback that the company receives often comes in the form of informal discussions between their homeowners and staff. Gisele Warner, a retiree who purchased a home this spring in The Orchards of Brannon Oak Farm, is one such homeowner. Warner moved here from Florida after the passing of her husband to be closer to her grandchildren. She was looking to downsize to a new home in an active adult community. She was shown The Orchards of Brannon Oak Farm by her real estate agent and fell in love with the community. 

Warner purchased a two bedroom home with a den that she turned into her grandchildren’s play room. “This was the perfect home for me,” said Warner. “The location, the community, the house itself – everything is just perfect. And the staff at The Orchards Group was very cooperative, very nice. I am incredibly happy with the entire process.”

Nearly eight months after moving in, Warner is still pleased with her experience with The Orchards Group. “The homes and landscaping are kept up beautifully, and any warranty issues that have come up have been addressed promptly and appropriately.”

She is so pleased, in fact, that she has recommended the community to her brother-in-law, who has visited from out of state. He is now considering purchasing a home in the community.
