Delan gave us a very thorough and informative tour. She is very knowledgeable and explains everything very clearly. We were favorably impressed with the community. The patio homes are very well designed.

Delan was a pleasure to work with. She knew just about every detail that we asked. Very personable and more concerned with listening than with doing all the talking.
