First-time Buyer Sold on LivingSmart Homes by Pardee in Master-Planned Canyon Hills

LAKE ELSINORE, CA, February 06, 2013

Father knows best when it comes to buying a home, and that's how Jonathan and Hollie Voeltner discovered Canyon Hills in Lake Elsinore and the many choices available for buying their first home. Local Inland Empire photographer Dennis Voeltner has been taking photos for Pardee Homes for the past eight years and has seen many of the new developments and the growth in Lake Elsinore, so he encouraged his son and daughter-in-law to consider one of the several new home neighborhoods built by Pardee at Canyon Hills.

Jonathan and Hollie Voeltner had been either living with relatives or renting since getting married four years ago and are now so excited to be living in their own home. "We had been looking to buy for about two years, and had visited Canyon Hills on my dad's suggestion," said Jonathan Voeltner. "We worked hard to make buying a home here happen, looking at both new and resale homes in the Inland Empire. It's really nice to come home to our own place, and it's been fun to customize it," added Voeltner.

"We love the upgraded flooring and having an office in our home. With four bedrooms we are all set for the future and don't ever want to move. Although it was stressful buying a home, Pardee was awesome. From the great sales team to customer service, everyone was helpful in making this happen. Including my dad."

The Voeltner's, who bought a Plan 4 home at LivingSmart Homes Hillside, are enjoying their new home, especially the open floor plan with its great room, roomy kitchen and energy-saving features. The two-story home with four bedrooms is ideal for this young, growing family, and is located in one of three Pardee neighborhoods now selling in Lake Elsinore.

"Everyday, when I drive home from work, I am so thankful that we bought our new LivingSmart Hillside home from Pardee," added Voeltner. "Now we've recommended this community to our friends, too. We really like everything about Canyon Hills, especially the convenient walking trails and new sports park located just down the street."
