	"Please allow us to express our heartfelt appreaciation to Ferris Homes for all the hard work that went into the creation of dream home. When we visited the Aspen model at Liberty Grove last August, we were immediately impressed with the quality of construction, the architectural layout, and the design of the house." "Ten months later – now settling into our new home – we can honestly say that our first impressions were correct. From our initial meeting with the sales staff to the final pre-close walkthrough, all of our expectations were exceeded." "Specifically, we would like to thank and recognize the following individuals:Peggy Holloway for her patience, helpful suggestions, and excellent eye for detail. Peggy is a true gem – her wonderful character and complete knowledge of all the available products and building phases. Our house is beautiful, in large part, to Peggy's assistance." "Matt dunn's management skills kept our home on track for completion. Matt's responsiveness to our questions or concerns gave us great comfort during the construction process. We knew things would be handled to our satisfaction with Matt at the helm." "All in all, the quality of materials in your homes, the beautiful design features, and the excellent members of your team, made the home building process a pleasure. We could not be more pleased with our new house." --Matthew and Nicole Hickey
	"It is with great pleasure that I recommend Ferris Homes as a home builder. My family recently moved into a home that Ferris Homes completed building in 2006. We started the process in 2005 and found the overall experience to be a great one. Drew Ferris has built a team of highly dedicated individuals who helped us along a process that was timely, exciting and personalized. We had built another home approximately six years ago and found the process with the other builder to be long (yet rushed), tedious and frustrating. Because of the first experience we had decided that we weren't going to build again, until we came across Ferris Homes. After discussing our needs and concerns with them, we were still a little hesitant but decided to proceed." "Through out the process we primary worked with Peggy from the Design Team and Matt and Dan, the construction supervisors. We found our dealings with them, along with the others we can in contact with, to be pleasurable. We never felt that they were just building another house. Everyone on the team took a sincere interest in building our new home. The communication among the team at Ferris homes was excellent as was the communication to us and the subcontractors. We were kept up to date every step of the way. As problems arose, they worked with us to make sure they were resolved quickly and correctly. They even took ownership of problems that were out of there control and came up with creative solutions. We had specific ideas and amenities that we wanted as part of the home, so it was comforting to find out that Ferris pays close attention to details. We were also called onsite several times so that we could see the progress and give feedback along the way." "The subdivision was laid out nicely in a wonderful community and the home was built very well by a dependable team of professionals so we plan on staying in our new home for a long time. I am happy to give a wholehearted endorsement to Ferris Homes. They are dependable people who build quality homes with integrity." --M.A. Cima
	"I love my new home and I couldn't be happier. Working with Ferris Homes was a true pleasure and I am enjoying everything about my new home. I was able to design it just the way I wanted it, no one will be building behind me, and my 2 balconies allow me to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Liberty Grove." --Eileen McGrath, Liberty Grove buyer

	"We feel so fortunate to have worked with Ferris Homes. We were veteran home buyers and were able to purchase a model home that Ferris Homes had built in Ashton Park in Glenview. Not only was the model home exactly the specifications we were looking for in a new home, but the neighborhood and community were perfect for us and our family. The model was beautifully decorated and furnished to the last detail and Ferris worked with us to enable us to move into their beautifully appointed home and purchase some of the furniture and artwork. Our experience with Ferris was seamless." -- Kevin and Jessica DiSano

	"Working with Ferris Homes to build our custom home in Niles was a pleasure. They were able to help us design and build a 4,000 square foot home that met our needs perfectly. Being a chef and wanting a professional kitchen at home was a challenge to many builders, but Ferris took on the project and embraced our needs and desires. We couldn't be happier with the end result." -- Augie Arifi

	"To not have to worry about when I was going to mow the lawn or how we would get out of the driveway after a long night of Chicago snowfall was a huge selling feature. With the hours that we keep working and the emotional demands of a new marriage, this is one less thing to worry about and it is very much appreciated." -- Casey Cesnovar, Liberty Grove buyer

	"I knew that Ferris Homes built a beautiful product and pays the utmost attention to detail. In addition, I appreciate when a builder is responsive to their clients' needs and sensitive to their budgets. I really feel this is another area in which Ferris excels. I was thrilled with the luxury features and appointment that the home came with as standard and it allowed us to really build the home of our dreams within a pricepoint that we were comfortable in." "First-time buyers of new construction aren't a lot different from other first-time home buyers. Both groups face a lot of uncertainty about the mysterious real estate process they are about to undergo. But the person who has already been a homeowner for 30 or 40 years and decides to build a new home today can easily get caught off guard simply because the real estate world has changed so much over the last several decades. Ferris Homes helped us every step of the way with all of the decisions that we were faced with. We love our new home and are enjoying it at a time in our lives when we never thought we would be living in a brand new home." -- Martin and Charlotte Langer, Legacy Club buyers

	"Our home is everything that we could have ever dreamed it to be. Ferris Homes designed our home with the best layout and the most beautiful features that we could have hoped for. Our family room created a dramatic focal point along the rear wall of our home and all our rooms are generous in size. Everything makes sense in the house and we credit that to Ferris Homes. If we were to build again, it would definitely be with Ferris Homes." -- A happy homebuyer from the Custom Homes at Stonegate

	"Ferris Homes took all the responsibility in the building of our new home. You can only expect that a problem will occur when building a home. Anything that we had a question on during the process of having our home built, Ferris Homes addressed and made sure that we were satisfied and pleased about the building process and the end result. In addition, the entire Ferris staff were very helpful and candid with our selection process and gave us insight that helped us make educated decisions that turned out great but could have been costly mistakes without their expertise and advise." -- Anita Ventrelli, Ashton Park buyer

Here is what trade contractors and lenders in the industry have to say about Ferris Homes:


	"Within the developer community, Drew Ferris is a breath of fresh air. He's very forthright and tells you exactly what's on his mind. He has been a pleasure to work with. Ferris Homes is very efficient. They have a good working knowledge of what it takes to deal with local municipalities. They have an excellent relationship with their subcontractors and this allows them to build in a very timely fashion at a very high level of quality." -- John Olsen, Sr. Vice President, First American Bank

	"I've gotten to know Drew personally over the last three years. I think his company does an excellent job. He's put together a great team. They hire top talent and their people are very dedicated to building an outstanding home. They are very demanding and I like that. They make sure it's done right the first time and on time. When you deal with professionals, both in the Ferris office and with their trades on the jobsite, it just runs much smoother and that's very important to a supplier." -- Mac Hines, Vice President of Sales, Edward Hines Lumber Co.

	"(Ferris Homes is) one builder that really takes an interest in their clients. They're top notch and offer a level of quality above many of the other smaller builders. We've been with Drew since he started. He wanted to be a step above everybody else. In effect, he tried to take production houses and makes them custom homes. " -- Carl Cullotta, Vice President, Mid-American Heating

	"When people ask us who we work for, Ferris Homes is one of the first names I mention, because their name stands for quality. They have done an excellent job of melding together custom homes and production building. Their level of craftsmanship is among the highest. Their jobs are completed on time because their schedule is fair. If you need X amount of time to do the job right, that's what you get. And that's the key to quality workmanship and the elimination of such problems as mold. Drew Ferris knows what he wants, but he's also willing to take advice. He has a feel for what is out in the field. We work really well with him and his staff. They are probably my best customer." -- Phil Lindsey, MTXE Inc. carpentry contractor

	"Ferris Homes has a strong reputation. They are fiscally responsible and honorable individuals. We look forward to doing more things with them." -- Nate Weyer, Assistant Vice President, LaSalle Bank
