Home show was the worst ever. And the MECA policy of no cash is ridiculous. So if you don't have a credit card.you don't need to come to any events or the CWS. If. This is the best they can do for a home show please don't bother charging us 10 bucks to park.and 18 bucks to get in.

We bought/built our Celebrity house in July 2017 and our house has had 3 leaks in 3 different places. One of of the leaks happened 1 month after our one year warranty expired with Celebrity and they would not fix it. The other two leaks have happened more recent. It's disappointing that they would not help to fix leaks on a house they built less than two years ago. A house that is only 1 year old should NOT leak like this!

Almost bought a celebrity home. We went in to see the models and really like them, but our realtor was out of town. We were led to believe that our realtor could still be included in all interactions. When our realtor got back into town, we were told that Celebrity could in no way recognize our realtor as a party. We said okay and were willing to independently pay our realtor to help us review the contracts and help us monitor construction.
Celebrity told us even if we did that they would not allow a realtor to help us with contracts or come see the lot to point out possible construction errors. I pointed out that I did not want a celebrity agent representing me, building my home, and monitoring construction because it seemed like a conflict of interest. I was laughed at, told neither I nor my realtor knew what we were talking about, and informed that with the market the way it is Celebrity didn't need us. Pretty terrible customer service experience overall. I can only imagine it gets worse if you're trying to point out construction errors.

Monica Lang is and incredible agent! We purchased our home from her in July. She was super attentive as we watched the construction of our home over a 5-month period. She was quick to respond to our questions/concerns and this woman knows everything. We cant thank her enough for just being an amazing person through this process. Thanks Monica, we love our new home!

At first we were very happy with our home. Now 6 months later, our deck is falling apart and the Broker Shawn McGuire is a total jerk who had the guts to yell at my wife. Completely disrespectful and doesn't care to honor the warranty on the poor construction of our home. Don't buy a home from them! We won't build our next house with them!
