I hope you are reading this message before you signed the purchase contract. If you are one of the victims, I just want to say I understand you pain. If you are a stubborn victim, I can only say: someone had to told you so.
Admit it, if you are considered buying a house from Ryan homes - you are looking for a bargain.
But do you know a house is also an investment. When you invest, you look for quality stuff. This is financially.
It is also a place you live everyday. Do you want to see an eyesore everyday?
My sister told me that she Realtor told her that the quality of houses
built by Ryan Homes is not good, low quality. Stubborn me, I ignore
her (when making the most important investment financially and
emotionally in my life.)
This is the lesson I learned after signing a contract with Ryan Homes
(but luckily for me, I "wakes up" in time to cancel the signed
contract - it was a close call):
My advice for home buyer is:
Don't waive any of your rights when signing a contract.
(Let me ask you this, if they are a quality builder, would they have
asked to you waive your rights, especially those related to the quality
of the house. You need a legal recourse when thing goes haywire.)
Don't sign the contract without a lawyer or realtor reviewing.
Don't accept any verbal promises. If they can't put it down in written
form, they probably will not be able to delivery the promise. Plus, it
avoid miscommunication.
Do this:
If you have any concerns, ask them to put it down on the contract. If
they are unwilling to do it, it probably means "NO" to your concern.
After touring one of the unit Ryan Homes is building,
I pity the guy who is going to live there. There is an eyesore in the
kitchen - the ugly cabinet - for a house someone paid for $200k - 270k!
My question for you and myself is that: Are you really saving money?
Let's say one out of hundred (I fear one out of three- is the true figure) is going to face this quality issue - how do you know you won't be the one!!!
I tell myself this: There are many houses out there. Really.
After this dreadful house buying experience, I found a new motto:
If you want to find a friend who is selling you a house, get a dog.
P/S:
You are in control not them. You don't need to use their financing - just tell them you want to same discount but can stay with other lenders or you walk.
Forget the "Must finance with XXX". You can dictate the terms - don't let they fool you. You are the consumer.

Bart or is it ***
When you comment on someone's english, it is always better to double check your own spellings. It is "then" and not "than".
Dumbass!

So you don't own a Ryan home, but are bashing them because of what somebody else told you???
I was never forced to use NVR mortgage... in fact, I had to sign a form stating that I was clearly and specifically told by the selling agent that there is no requirement to use NVR mortgage.

Ridiculous. You have no basis for your argument (or lack thereof). I did buy Ryan and so far have absolutely nothing but positive things to say. Yes, it was a bargain, but that IS NOT why I went there to look. I'm sure when you build 4,000+ homes every year like Ryan, you are going to get complaints...but if they come from someone who can't even grasp the english language, than who cares?

What the heck are you trying to say? How long have you been speaking English? What was your point?
