Claimant's opinion: Not correcting issues with home as found
Claimant's opinion: This is a substandard quality home, paying $276,990 for a home that has over 100 issues
Claimant's opinion: Did not recieve items in home that were told would get, such as matching fixures through out in the brushed brass type finish, all fixtures from fans, lights, towel holders, to faucets and showers are different, nothing matches like was told would. Gutters are not all the way around home like was told would be. Garage did not get trimmed in as said would for accwpting the covered porch which was not to what we paid and asked for. lso the toliet paper holders did not get moved approximately 12 inches forward as told would.
Claimant's opinion: The builder should be held accountable for presenting a quality product to a purchaser. We paid for everything we have asked for but want what we have paid and asked for is all. This is our retirement home afer 29 years of military service and want it right is all. We wold still like the home if a mutual agreement can be made between both parties. I hate to see others getting substandard homes as well. Bottom line is the homes Lake Carolina Homes are building needs to be brought to an acceptable standard is all.
These are just five pictures of the many areas that we have issues with. We have over 1,000 picture all are not issues though. This gives an idea as to what we are talking about.
Five more pictures of other areas just to give a better view as why would like to meet one on one. Simple issues that should be fixed for anyone we feel.

We have an offer on the table to you through our attorney which is for more money than your original offer. Selling the house to you is not an option. We tried to resolve the situation that way a few weeks ago and you were not willing to accept our offer giving you an outside one year warranty, money, making limited repairs, and selling you the house under those terms. Instead, you replied with 16 emails of pictures of things that you thought were wrong with the house. We obviously cannot come to terms with your belief as to what is acceptable and therefore feel that we should return all monies, even the funds that you signed as non-refundable, pay for your appraisal, and give you the additional $4500.00 in compensation for your kenneling costs, since the first closing, as you requested in your first writing on this site. This is the settlement that you specifically requested right here in this forum. We have only asked that you sign a confidentiality agreement in order to receive the monies that you asked for. It seems that each time we match your offer, your terms change and that resolution through this forum is not going to work either. We are dealing with this now through our real estate attorney and you will need to make any more correspondence through her.
Everytime I speak with your attorney she is one sided it seems like. That is why I sent a message directly to you. All your offers exclude purchasing the home. We have asked that to purchase the home and to meet with the builder to show what we see and they are not seeing is all ever asked for. No one is willing to meet in person to accomplish an agreement between both parties. Not sure why that is? If you read the offer here completely it is a two part offer, the cash settlement and non cash settlement just as was told to your attorney but no one seems to be comprhending this, it is a combined not an individual offer as has has been all along. The offer made from you originally, a different home warranty and $1,500 for repairs, was very low considering all the issues and nothing said about making limited repairs from the builder at that time. Also nothing was said or offered about the additional finacial burden cost aquired at that time through all this either. Also, no meeting with with builder either as asked three times for now. Those 16 pictures are not a thought of what is wrong, it is actually still some of what is wrong along with several other issues. Those were sent since cannot get a meeting with anyone to verify what is lagitament and what is not. Obviously we cannot come to an agreement because you are not willing to meet up and do so as asked of you. I am assuming the reasoning behing that is will actually see wht we re talking about. Doesn't say anything about those monies being non refundble, says may, and if only if it is the buyers fault, which this clearly is not. Also, the change in the monies value keeps changing because once put in several more days pass by before a settlement offer comes back. I clearly stated to your attorney at the time of that conversation that my figures were not exact but she still ran them through. At the time of her call to me as I stated I am not with my paperwork at the time so my figures are a guess, which at that time they were $409.20 less than what should have been as of 24 August. Now it is what 4 Septemeber so es different figures as time goes on. So as of yesterdays money statements another ten days hae passed with no settlement is why. So, bottom line our offer has never been matched, it has always been way less than what we have asked for, never the offer to meet and and g back through the home, to purchase it, to meet the full money amounts asked of and so on, not once has anything beem completly met. Yes all you ask is to sign a confidentiallity statement to make all this happen, well, as stated earlier, our offer is and always has been a two part offer but the selling part keeps getting a big NOT! So yes, to not even break even on everything we have paid out, and still no home, to sign a confidentiallity statement is no where near an option. Seriouslt to keep my mouth shut! The only way that will be signed is to come to an agreement with the most rescent offer we just offered you here on 3 Septemeber or a way greater offer than not even breaking even. This is my last correspondence to you through this forum. Unless hearing directly from you or your attorney I have nothing more for either at this time.
Please review you original terms under cash settlement. This will also be my last correspondence through this forum. Please contact our attorney for further correspondence

We, the would have been buyers, are closing out this complaint with Lake Carolina Homes, LLC. A full agreement never was completed between buyer and seller because the home was sold to someone else prior to that happening. Because of court cost, time, and monies spent all ready the aggreement between buyer and seller was all monies put toward home were returned to the buyer and the seller did reimburse all but $409 of monies spent out of buyers pocket for kennel cost and rental cost during this time period that was asked for. Both buyer and seller did sign the termination agreement and a confidentiallity statement as well. The confidentiallity statement was the stipulation from the seller prior to settleing. We, the buyer are still waiting on our fully signed copy of the confidentiallity statement. Everything else has een recieved from the seller to the buyer. We, the would have been buyers, felt this was our best option since the builder sold our home to someone else and did not want to fix issues and sell to us. With that, we felt it will be up to the buyers who have bought to settle their issues with Lake Carolina Homes since we could not. We are waiting on our signed copy of the confidentiallity statement is all at this time. As stateted on the confidentiallity statement this is our closing out statement and this complaint is closed out as of 4 October 2012. Thank you.
