Hello everyone and for certain readers out there I say, were back!
I am restored this blog so that future buyers of homes, not just Mattamy homes can read and perhaps have a cautionary tale of buying a new home. However, I do plan on writing on the blog when I feel that there is necessary information that pertains to Mattamy in particular and specifically on phase 5.
Of note there will be a news story in CJOH this coming Monday, March 29 2010 about us and phase 5 and the result of us NOT ever getting our home. I will also post after this a summary story of the whole sordid affair that explains why we took the blog down.
To summarize I feel that the corporate culture within Mattamy and perhaps other builders is counter to both good business and customer service. In fact it is plainly wrong, arrogant and to some extent dishonest. A corporate culture of do not say if not asked places the onus on the customer rather than the seller. In todays world of corporate responsibility this is simply NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Things need to change in Ontario with regards to home builders and it needs to change now before more people get screwed over.
So if you have a story email me, see the contact us page. We the consumer need to stand up and start telling our stories in order for change to happen. It’s about time we are offered the protection we are duly owed as a consumer on the single largest and most important purchase of our life.
Regards
Keith and Danielle
