GOODYEAR, AZ (March 1, 2012) – Newland Communities is pleased to announce for the third consecutive year, Rosewood Homes, one of Estrella’s most respected home builders, has earned the Eliant “Homebuyers’ Choice Award” for providing the “Best Overall Purchase & Ownership Experience” in North America.
The 15th annual competition by Eliant, a customer experience management company, surveyed more than 68,000 recent home owners across the U.S. and Canada to find the best homebuilders in North America.
“The Rosewood Homes team is proud to once again be recognized with Eliant’s top honor by having the highest overall customer satisfaction score in North America,” said David M. Kitnick, Rosewood Homes Founder and President. Rosewood beat out more than 200 builders representing in excess of 1,500 new home neighborhoods to be honored with this award.
Residents of Stone Gate, a Rosewood Homes neighborhood found within Montecito at Estrella, were thrilled to hear about the award. To show their neighborhood pride for the well-earned recognition, each Stone Gate resident at Estrella has placed an “I ♥ My Rosewood Home” sign in their front yard.
“In my 26 years of being in the homebuilding business, I have never seen anything like this,” said Mr. Kitnick. “I am truly honored by this gesture. It further solidifies our commitment to how we build homes.”
Karl and Kari Swope moved into their home at Estrella 2 years ago and love everything about their Rosewood Home and the Estrella neighborhood. Their two children attend Westar Elementary within Estrella and as a family they love to visit with neighbors and stay active outdoors on the trails at the parks or on the lake at Estrella.
“When we first found Estrella we were thrilled to find a community with so much to offer – from the variety of amenities to the schools – but to also find a builder like Rosewood Homes cemented our decision to buy at Estrella” said Mrs. Swope. “The experience of building our home was outstanding in every way. Between the generous standard features, superior construction quality and outstanding customer service, we simply love our Rosewood Home and our neighborhood.”
In the 15 years of the Eliant award no other Arizona home builder has received Eliant’s #1 ranking, let alone three consecutive years.
“We are proud to have the caliber of Rosewood Homes as a builder in Estrella,” said Greg Bielli, Western Regional President for Newland Communities. “David is a customer-centric builder and builds each home with careful attention to detail, listening to every unique need of his buyers.”
In addition to the top award, Rosewood Homes has been recognized by homeowners for providing the “Best Construction Experience,” the “Best Customer Service Experience,” and for having the “Best Overall First Year Quality” in North America.
