We built with Jordahl and our process was pretty straightforward. We looked at some floorplans and visited some unfinished houses. After seeing a few, we selected the Franklin model because it was an affordable model with 3 bedrooms upstairs. There were almost no models that could compare in price and layout.

We we're fortunate because we didn't want to spend a lot upfront so Kim helped us tremendously. She used a little trick up her sleeve to keep us from paying way more earnest money out of pocket.

Once we got the lot and model going, we worked with Melanie to get designs going. She was fun and gave a lot of input, but was not pushy about anything. She was very relaxed about the whole thing and kept us on a good deadline.

Our house is still being built (1 more month), but I feel confident we will be happy with the end product. I will post pictures when everything is done.

The only negatives are that the basic items are hard to keep. You almost need to upgrade them. That's not the worst thing because they do it to keep prices low.
