What People Are Saying.

“After spending two wonderful years with the “family” of the Lenox Village Lifestyle Center, I could’t possibly leave without saying how much I have loved living in the high rise condo building and the attention to detail that you and your staff give to all of the residents on a daily basis. You are simply the BEST!!!

After selling my house in McKay’s Mill two years ago, and not knowing where to go- quickly, I am so thankful that I was urges to come see your lovely condos. Although much smaller than I've ever had, the layout is wonderful and I never felt cramped. The closets and the kitchen are especially amazing!

But, most of all - thank you so much to RAM Partners management team for making me feel like part of the family while here. Sarah, Pam and Chris, in particular, have been so very special to me and I will always remember my days in my condo as being very special just because all of you made me feel that way.&rdquo

Mr. McGowan,

I would like to express my gratitude to you and your company for providing excellent quality homes at a good value to me and my clients. I have worked in and around the construction business for over ten years and its not often I can make the above statement.

I was and continue to be impressed with the professionalism and competence of all your employees. Tom Plahuta and Craig Hudgens were a pleasure to work with. I have enjoyed my time with them and I know my clients have as well. Since day one I have felt that Tom and Craig had my and my client's best interest at heart. Their professionalism, communication and respect were extremely refreshing and not something that you often find in the process of building a new home. They made the process an enjoyable one and I am truly grateful for that.

I am proud to own a Regent home in Burkitt Place and I am equally proud to show my clients the wonderful possibilities that come with working with your company.”

Sincerely,

- Ross Wetzel, Affiliate Broker, David Pearson Real Estate


Dear Mr. McGowan

“I know you are a busy man, but I'm asking to take a couple minutes while we compliment your team.

First your salesman, Tom Plahuta. In any significant purchase you buy the sales guy first, and he had us at "Hello". Pleasant, professional, knowledgeable, accommodating, are only a few of hundreds of adjectives I could use to describe this guy. Everything he committed to, he did. There were no excuses why things didn't get done everything we asked for got done, on time. We moved into our new home the hour of the day he said we could move. David, do you realize how refreshing it is to work with a real estate salesman and not be sweet-talked? This is the third new house Jan and I have had build in the past 23 years and by far it has been the most enjoyable experience! Tom's easy manner and confidence not only made him our "go to guy", but a new friend.

Lets talk about Craig Hudgens. Look in the dictionary under customer service and you will find Craig's picture. This guy is steeped in doing right by the customer. There we were at the walk-thru nit picking his work, he never flinched. Wrote it down and had it done when we moved in 48 hours later. It takes a special kind of person to hear how the house he build doesn't quite meet someone's scrutiny and not get involved and argue with the customer.

Everyone we talked to in your organization were just as responsive. Their attitude was: "It all depends on me." That's something you cannot buy. It seemed to be stitched into the DNA of the Regent Homes team and that comes from the "lead dog".

Thank you, Mr. McGowan for building us our beautiful home in Burkitt Place. We love it. It's everything Regent people told us it would be.”

Regards,

- Jan & Wayne Millen


“I really love my new Regent home in Lenox of Smyrna. It is an ideal neighborhood for retries like myself. It's a beautiful community and my new neighbors are wonderful. I cannot say enough about Regent Homes sales agent, Jeffrey Caruth. His assistance through the buying process was invaluable. I now consider him a friend. He is always friendly and helpful. I would recommend Lenox of Smyrna to anyone. It is a great place to live.”

- Ernestine Clark


“It has been a pleasure working with the staff of Regent Homes. I was very impressed by the quality of their homes, their quick and efficient work ethic, and their friendly attitudes that made the process a little less stressful. Thanks to Regent Homes, I now have a comfortable, brand new home in a great neighborhood.”

- Marcus Hill


My husband and I recently purchased our first home together from Regent Homes. We worked with Tom to buy and finish building our dream home. Tom was more than willing to take the time we needed to ensure that even the finest of details were discussed and considered. The entire process felt comfortable and we knew Tom had our best interest at heart. When we met Craig the same attention to detail and level of care and service were met. Craig saw things that needed to be fixed that even we didn't see. Craig is knowledgeable and efficient.

I would feel more than confident to recommend any family or friend to Regent Homes, and am very thankful to have had such a wonderful experience with our first home.

Please make sure that Tom and Craig are recognized for their superior service and a job well done. We couldn't be more thrilled to call Burkitt Place home, Thank you.

- Jennifer O'Leary


It has been awesome working with Tom at Regent Homes - Burkitt Place.

I positively will remember Regent Homes and your expertise when my next buyer comes along!!

- Rosie Navarro, Realtor, Coldwell Banker


“My wife and I moved to middle Tennessee from Virginia. We looked all over the Nashville area and surrounding areas for homes that would fit our needs and desires. Our realtor brought us to Burkitt Place to view several homes. As we were leaving Burkitt Place, we noticed Regent Homes' lovely brick model home. We stopped to look at the model and met Tom Plahuta, Regent Homes sales agent. Tom took us on a guided tour of the home and discussed all the features of the home. Tom was pleasant and shared a lot of knowledge about Regent Homes and the area with us. We were impressed with the home and the way it was built so we made an offer which was accepted. We closed on the home in December 2011. At the final walk through we met Craig Hudgens, Project Manager who took us around the house explaining everything and how things worked. He also told us if we noticed anything that needed repaired he would take care of it before we closed. Craig was also very pleasant and completed everything we asked him to do prior to closing. He also returned a couple of times to help us with things that were not noticed during our walk through of our home. After closing there were questions, and a few small problems, but all we had to do was call or email the Regent Homes team and things were taken care of in a very timely manner. The Regent Homes team is excellent to work with and we recommend buying one of their homes because of their great customer service. Our home is wonderful and well built, but the customer service means a lot to us. There was not a time that we asked for assistance that Regent did not come through for us. If you are looking to buy a home in the area, please check out Regent Homes we highly recommend them.”

- Ernest and Ann Meadows


“I would like to thank Tom Plahuta, Craig Hudson, and the rest of the Regent team once again for exceeding our expectations! This is our second Regent Home, and each home building experience was wonderful! Tom has been and continues to be great! Tom made the home buying process enjoyable and stress free. He was outstanding throughout out the whole experience! We couldn’t have asked for anything more in a Superintendent than Craig, he was great and made the entire experience easy and painless. We have been in our home for 3 months now and absolutely love it.”

- Bryon and Jen Olsen


“I want to let you know how happy I am with my new townhome in High Point. The service that I received from Ali Vandiver was superior. She was so helpful, and walked me through everything step-by-step, and was there for me from the very beginning. She was very patient to work with and helpful during the loan process. She was never pushy like a lot of other sales professionals in her field. Anytime I had a question she was available to answer it. She eased my worries during the home buying process. Ali also made recommendations for who to use for add-ons such as blinds. After the closing and move-in, Ali will call occasionally to make sure everything is going smoothly.

This is my first home purchase, and I could not have asked for it to go any smoother. Thank you Ali for making my home purchase a success story and not a horror story, like so many others that I've heard. You're the best!”

Sincerely,
A very satisfied customer,

- Chala Bartley


“Building my house with Regent Homes has been a great experience in everything from the sales process with Tom Plahuta to the building management process in which I worked closely with Craig Hudgens. Both of these guys bent over backwards and quickly responded to any questions I might have. The whole process was easy and ultimately led to a great house that I am happy to call my home. Thank you both.”

“As a first time homebuyer, Regent Homes made the home buying process really smooth. Sales agents, Randy Smith and Derenda Sircy made our home selection easy. Brandon Rickman, the builder, was very accommodating of our every need. We appreciate all of his attention to detail, as well as his concerns to making our home perfect. We love calling Brighton Village home, and can't say enough about the team at Regent Homes.”

“I'll never forget the first day I drove through Lenox Village. It was like stepping back in time -- the homes were so colorful, the natural setting so serene, and the sense of community so vibrant. To stumble upon such a unique neighborhood in today's day and age is rare, and I simply knew I had to live here. A year and a half later, I am still just as thrilled to be living here as the day I first moved in, and am proud to call this "Modern-day Mayberry" my home.”

- Diane Crawford

“Having lived in Lenox Village for over 4 years, I can only say that, as time passes, Lenox Village has become more and more like one big extended family. I feel comfortable in knowing that if I were to ever have the need for help of any kind, there is always someone nearby I could count on. Now that we have a doctor, a dentist, several shops and restaurants, this is definitely the place to live!”

- Bettye Steele


“After 5 years of living in Lenox Village, I'm still thrilled about this gorgeous neighborhood. I love the friendly people and the fun social events. I also truly value the excellent maintenance of the beautiful landscaping of the grounds. My buying experience with Regent Homes was great, but living in Lenox Village is even better!”

- Sheri Ferguson, Publisher of LiveSouthNash


“I want to thank all of you for your attention and assistance in building our new home in Valley View Village. My wife Janice and I had been searching for approximately two years for this type of community in our area to build a new house in. We have lived in this area for over 35 years and it was our desire to stay in this area. We also were looking for a quality home but in a setting where we had less maintenance but was constructed with amenities available similar to our previous home. Regent Homes more than satisfied us in both areas. We now have a beautiful home with nine foot ceilings downstairs, crown molding downstairs, granite countertops, hardwood floors and fully tiled master bath with whirlpool tub. All of our maintenance is furnished and it is great to be able to play golf each weekend instead of doing yard maintenance.

It was also very unexpected when I was contacted after we had been living there a year and asked if there was anything that needed their attention that we had not contacted them about in the previous year. Rick and Brandon were great in taking care of these minor items which in most cases were touch up which I did not expect for them to take care of. I would certainly recommend Regent Homes to anyone and have in the past and even have friends at church who have purchased units from Regent Homes. Thanks again for your help.”

“Winning tickets to the Titans’ home opener, through Regent’s ‘Take It To The House Promotion’, provided us with seats near the fifty yard line, four rows back, on the lower bowl level.

As the weekly winners of the promotion’s drawing, my wife, Julie, and I were met at the stadium by Mr. McGowan, president of Regent Homes and representatives of LP Building Products. We were escorted through the stadium and out onto the field where we were videotaped for a spot on the stadium’s Jumbo Tron, to be played during one of the game breaks. Following that we made our way to our seats and joined over seventy thousand of our closest friends, fans, representing the Titans’ Twelfth Man as they defeated the Baltimore Ravens.

Julie and I had a great time. We would like to thank Mr. McGowan, Regent Homes, LP Building Products and the Tennessee Titans.”

“Five years ago I decided to move from Charleston, South Carolina to Nashville start a career and I wanted to purchase a home for myself here in Nashville. My Dad and I were driving around and happened to come across this charming neighborhood called Lenox Village that helped cure the homesick feeling I had from leaving Charleston. Lenox Village has been everything I could imagine and more when it comes to a family - friendly, beautiful and welcoming neighborhood. The walkable streets, the shops and restaurants are all so unique to the area. The quality craftsmanship and inviting colors create a one of a kind neighborhood. I have now lived here five years and love the same if not more as the day I moved in!”

- Emily Fleming Woods


“The Hair Studio at Lenox officially opened September of 2006. The Studio was the first retail business to open in Lenox Village. We also built a home in 2006 in this lovely traditional neighborhood. It has been wonderful; and we feel very fortunate to be a part of Lenox Village. My business has grown considerably in the past three years. The community has welcomed us and we have made lots of new clients and friends throughout Lenox Village and the surrounding South Nashville communities. One of the great things about our Studio is that with the Lenox Village community in our back yard we are able to accommodate the needs of our clients. We have a mix of all ages of people in Lenox and we provide services to pamper all them. Living and working in Regent Homes Lenox Village community has truly had its advantages and we look forward to many more years.”

“I love living at the Lenox Village Town Center Condominiums. I couldn't ask for anything better! The community is very friendly... never ran across one rude person. Very clean, great grounds. Shops, grocery, dry cleaning, gyms, are all within walking distance. I never have a problem parking. I never hear my neighbors above or beside me. For the condo itself, I love my unit, and I've not ran into one problem yet. Everything is well taken care of. I feel very "at Home" here. But most importantly, I feel safe living here.

“To RAM Partners, LLC. This is Marion Harris from Dallas, TX. I'm a soon to be tenant at Lenox Village Town Center Condominiums. I adamantly requested your info from Sarah to let you know how much of a gem she really is. Making a move to Nashville from Texas is stressful enough but Sarah Loggins was so helpful and almost God-sent when I really think about it. I’m not sure how you’ll take this but I hope she gets some kind of raise real soon because I’m sure I’m not the only tenant that thinks this highly of Sarah. Although, I haven’t official moved in yet I can tell this is going to be an amazing relationship and I can’t wait to enjoy the amenities that you’re complex has to offer. Trust me, I looked all over Nashville when I flew into town and nothing came remotely close to the beauty of your facilities and more importantly the friendliness and professionalism of your staff. The other Sarah was awesome too and very helpful. I’m sorry I’m rambling now becaue I never do these kind of compliments but I just felt that it was really important for you to know you made 2 great hires! Thank you for all your help and use me anytime as a reference for furure tenants.”

- Marion Harris


“I just wanted to drop you a quick note, to say thank you to Tom Plahuta and Criag Hudgens for a wonderful experience and assistance in building my home. The entire process has been seamless and stress free. This is my eighth home and third new home and without a doubt the best experience.

I am very pleased with my new home - Regent builds a quality house. Both Tom and Craig have been very professional, always available to assist and respond to any request.”

Again Thanks!

- Deborah Walker


“What a tremendous investment! Regent made the nervousness of being a first time homebuyer a smooth and easy transition for me! I found exactly what I wanted in a home and love the conveniences that Lenox Village provides with restaurants, shops and even a small farmer's market. I appreciate the sense of community we have here - as people wave, speak and smile when running through the neighborhood. I have loved every minute of being a part of this community and look forward to making lasting friendships and memories!”

- Courtney Jones


“I am so thrilled with my new home. I was looking for a place to settle where I could have privacy but no yard upkeep. I found it at Lenox of Smyrna. It is a great community. The subdivision is quiet and peaceful and very well maintained. Purchasing this home was such a pleasant experience. Tom Platuha was wonderful to work with. He was extremely professional and courteous. Regent Homes is fortunate to have him on their staff. Both he and Dave McGowan, the president of Regent Homes, were so helpful. They were extremely helpful in finding a plan that would meet my needs as well as my budget. I would highly recommend them again and again. Thank you Regent Homes for a great building experience.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Tom Plahuta, Craig Hudgens, and Randy Smith for providing us with a most pleasant home buying experience both during and after the sale!

To put thinks in perspective, we are NOT “rookies” at home buying. During our 27 years of marriage, due to frequent job transfers, we have purchased seven homes and two condos in five different states. As such we have experienced most of the pitfalls, perils and challenges that can be happen during the process. While we did have a couple challenges in the finishing of our home on Gainsford Lane, your Team handled them in a timely basis and with excellent results. Here’s our story:

We looked at what is now our home on our first trip to Nashville and were confident it was the right fit for us. When we decided to make the offer, it took less than one hour to close the deal. While this may not seem too remarkable, the offer included “a few modifications” such as finish out a storage area with drywall, change the flooring materials, change some paint colors, change a door to include a doggie door, add additional stair railing, install stone counter tops and remove the garden bath tub and install an all ceramic accessible walk in shower. To add to the challenge we needed this all done in about four weeks and we would not be around to monitor the process. The next time we saw the house was on the morning of closing. We moved in on time and all was done! We have had a couple minor issues since moving in and those too have been taken care of timely and accurately.

We have now been in our home for four months. We still see Tom regularly and consider him a friend (the ultimate compliment if you are on speaking terms with a builder!) We have become advocates to folks driving around looking at the spec homes on our block and are quick to recommend Regent Homes as a great value!”

Keep up the good work!

- Jim & Marie Stoll


“I would like to thank Mr. Tom Plahuta for all his expertise and help on the purchase of my first home.

It was such a pleasure working with him. Not only, as I was purchasing this home and making selections, but even now, if I have any questions that arise, he is so helpful and kind.

I would recommend Regent Homes and Tom Plahuta to anyone looking for a home.”

Thanks so much!

- Melinda Elrod


“Lenox Village Town Center condominiums is beautiful, luxurious, secure, has amenities that surpass any other property with superb management! Lenox Village is beautiful - that goes without saying. You walk in and well its instant. The RAM management team, Sarah and Jad, faithfully give each resident high quality personal attention. I see it in passing. I hear it. They are kind, professional, and courteous. There is an air of integrity and high standards expressed and evidently for the good of Lenox Village's residents and for the community overall. Their professionalism, homestyle and industry knowledge is noticeable and I have not once seen they stray off that path. It all seems to be for the good of the community and maintaining high standards. This property is impeccably neat and clean. I have lived in Resort Style properties in Los Angeles, London, Las Vegas and the management team not only surpass others but they have exceeded my expectations as a resident. The management team of RAM Partners is excellent. They care about the residents and great at making me and my daughter feel safe and at home. I think the best compliment I can give to RAM or Lenox Village is to refer friends, and prospective merchants here for business or residence consideration in a relocation process. It is my pleasure helping others find their perfect place! - A perfect place like Lenox Village!”

“Our son contacted us here in upstate New York and was excited about a condo he had just looked at in Brighton Village. This being his first home purchase, he wanted us to help with this big decision.

The miles between us seemed to vanish when we asked Derenda Sircy if she could help us. She copied us in on all information she had given him and keep us in the loop from then on. We could have not asked for anyone more helpful. The process was so open and honest and the promises made, were kept on every front. Costs were exactly what was stated, with no surprises.

Our visit to Brighton Village was exciting and before long our son was in his new home. The day of the closing was a happy one, and seeing our son enjoying his beautiful new home left us thankful to everyone who made this possible for him. Everyone we meet during this process from the real estate agent to the builder and everyone in between impressing us from start to finish.”

Dear Mr. McGowan,

“This letter comes to express my appreciation for the assistance that I received during the recent purchase of my home on Avery Park Drive in the Lenox of Smyrna Development.

The process started accidently as an outing with a friend one Sunday. I’sd mentioned that I was thinking about purchasing a home after my apartment lease expired in May 2011 but felt that it was probably easier for me to continue to rent now that my children were grown. She convinced me to ride with her so she could show me some of the different areas in the city. I am originally from Memphis, TN and moved to Nashville 5 years earlier but did not know the city well. The first place she took me was Lenox Village on Nolensville Road. I was immediately impressed with what I saw and inquired about 2 properties that same day. By the end of the day, I was convinced that I wanted to purchase a home and sure that I should continue to look at Regent properties. My only hesitation was I didn’st want to purchase a large home or maintain a lawn. We continued to look at different places. I liked them all but none of them fit my vision. When I was just about to talk myself out of purchasing, I met Derenda Sircy.

My friend and I just happen to be sitting in the car getting ready to leave when Derenda drove up with a young couple. She was very pleasant and asked if she could help us. I told her I was just looking around and she invited us to come in to look at the property with the couple. While inside the home she spent time with me and answered all of my questions while still providing equal attention to the other guests. I liked her right away. After the couple left Derenda asked me to tell her what I was looking for in a home. Based on very few details she said she had the perfect house for me. We set the appointment to see the house and when I drove up, I knew it was my home. Because this was a big step for me, I wanted all of the important people in my life to see it too. Since everyone lived out of town, I requested 4 -5 additional appointments to see the property before making a final decision. It was during these multiple visits that I also met Tom Plahuta and found him to be very professional and attentive as well.

Derenda contacted me several times during my decision making/deliberation process but I never felt pressured to make a decision. She was very supportive and appeared genuinely interested in meeting my needs. Her warmth and concerned helped me develop trust in what she told me and confidence that what she said was accurate. When I decided to move forward with the purchase, I expressed reservation because of one modification that I wanted. She not only inquired about the possibility of making the modification, but continued to pursue alternatives after she was told it would not be possible. While I still intended to buy the house and was “satisfied” that the modification could not be done, Derenda was not satisfied to let me “settle”. She continued to look for an alternative and to my great surprise, found one! That was all I needed to reach perfect satisfaction with my new home.

I have purchased 4 homes prior to this one and I can truly say that this experience far exceeds any of the others. I attribute this totally to the excellent work and special attention that I received from Derenda Sircy and Tom Plahuta. I could not let this opportunity to personally thank them pass by. Regent Homes is very fortunate to have them as part of your team.”

Respectfully Submitted,

- Karen Carothers
