We had a fabulous experience working with Sandy. She was very professional and informative, making our home buying experience so much easier. She was very energetic and she made it so exciting to hear all the features of our new home. She was also very prompt on answering any question we had. As a first time home buyer, there is nothing we could have asked for more. Everything was excellent! Would highly recommend.

We recently closed on a new construction home in the Edenbrook Subdivision ( Buford, Ga. ) with O'Dwyer Homes. During the three and a half month build process, all communication was prompt and all deadlines were met within a reasonable amount of time. While we weren't supposed to make any changes past a certain point, our requests were accommodated and our immediate contacts responded with smiling faces, no matter how much extra effort was needed to complete the task. Thanks again to everyone at O'Dwyer Homes!

Overall, I am happy with the quality of my O'Dwyer home. The homes are designed with a lot of details in mind (cell phone charging station with key holders, lots of natural lighting throughout the home, large kitchen island and lots of cabinetry, large closets, etc.). I also love the semi-custom aspect. I enjoy seeing how each buyer chooses different finishes for his or her home. More people than I would have thought enjoy adding character and putting special touches on their home.

I was also privileged to work with Helena, who was an awesome and responsive real estate. She really goes above and beyond for her job. Brandon and Johnathan were also awesome in making sure that the house was built properly each step of the way. The only constructive criticism I have is to follow up better with home owners after the home is built. Otherwise, I was happy to work with them overall.

I moved in to my new home at Bethelview Villas in June. I have had a great experience with the sales staff and the builders here. The home is very well built and my energy bills are less than half of what they were at my prior home of about the same size. I am enjoying meeting all of my neighbors as they move in, and really glad I chose to make the move here-

We moved into our 55 and over community at the Villas at Bethelview 3 weeks ago. This is our 4th home and by far it was the best experience in buying a new home. Their agent Sandy was excellent and always followed up with us immediately. Their project managers, Jonathan and Brandon were also awesome and paid great attention to detail. We were extremely pleased with the quality and workmanship of our new home.

We keep asking ourselves do we really live here? If you're looking for a new place in Forsyth County look no further. Their model home is beautiful and and have a couple homes that are move in ready! Come visit and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed!

Sloppy work. Our neighborhood has had several water leaks and HVAC issues on houses that are still fairly new. Builder won't even investigate the issue or own it. Just washing their hands to the entire issue. I thought I was getting a great new house with this builder-not so much. Beware!
