Our Salesman Mike was AWESOME and 5 stars all the way! He was the reason we chose Simplicity. Everyone else not so!
It was a good experience. It was built quickly for the time of year and did a fairly good job.
We had a great experience building our home. This was due to the responsiveness and our relation relationship with Jeremy Nied. Even though we weren't in Oregon most of the time during the build, Jeremy kept us informed of what was going on, and I trusted him with the decisions that were being made. We were also impressed with the subcontractors that were working on our house. We were lucky to be there enough to get to know them and thank them for their care and expertise. I have to say our neighbors were shocked at how quick our house went up. Before the house was built, we met with Jeremy and Jeff. One of our main concerns is that we wanted the house to take advantage of our view of the Deschutes. I was lucky that I talked with Beacon Engineering. They told me that if we surveyed the houses on each side to find their distance from the ASI line, then we could take an average of the two and that would be the distance we could place our house from the ASI line. Because of this we were able to move our House 15 feet from the ASI line instead of the normal 30 feet. Then Jeremy, Jeff, and the excavator, Kyle, were able to come up with the perfect height of the house to maximize the view. I am happy that I signed up for the turn key option. This was very valuable because we were not living in Bend during the construction. As I stated earlier, I was very happy to be working with Jeremy. We are happy for him that he is on a new endeavor, but I think this made the turnover a little harder. Our walk-through with Jeff and Reid was good, but nobody knew our house better than Jeremy. We are sorry that we have lost contact with Jeremy both as a friend and our working relationship. We are now in the one year guarantee period. So far Jeff and Reid have been very responsive. I can give a more thorough review on the guarantee after one year.

Ben and the team made building our home very easy and efficient
Be aware there is a reason why the cost per sq ft is affordable. They use low cost fixtures. Do things like installing rain gutters before painting hence no paint under the gutters. Treated particle board under flooring. The electric wire is code but the cheapest available. No circuits spared -cant run microwave and coffee maker at the same time. On positive note, it is a beautiful home. I do have a few warranty items after the build that need to be addressed, nothing abnormal. Would I do it again? Yes. But i’d probably pay extra to avoid these kind of things.
Amazing experience, great team, it was a pleasure to work with you again!
My overall experience was great. Started with Jeremy was great to work with. The rest of the time we worked with Anthony who was awesome. He gave suggestions and real life advice. They made the experience so smooth and enjoyable. At the end we met with Anthony and a coorporate guy (sorry, cant remember his name but nice guy). They answered every quesiton we had. I was impressed that they would come back and do it all over again to the people who buys the home. If I was to make one suggestion, it was hard to get ahold of people in the office. But overall great. We are going to build three more as spec homes and will use Simplicity. Also, I have recommended you to a friend and she will be building one soon.
