Overall, my experience with Sterling homes has been very pleasant, customer representatives are very knowledgeable and eager to help, some of them had gone beyond their duties providing answers to my concerns. If I had to build another house I would like to do it with Sterling. Also, I have reported deficiencies but they are minimal, I am happy with the price-value of my house

From the Sales Office Ashley when we went in to book our lot, later all the trades people, Rick, Tricia, Jeff were all very informative and understanding with all our ongoing issues.

The sales process was straight forward, but would like to have all documents available online for easy reference. It would also be helpful to have a quick way to know what stage the house is at, ie: foundation, framing and drywall, paint and cabinets. If there is a way to make this information available online for the owner to log in to.

The lighting company did not have as large a selection as some stores. The displays were very crowded making it difficult to see the options. Other than that all suppliers were very knowledgeable and helpful. I especially want to comment on Shilo from the Sterling show home. She is amazing. Continually coming up with suggestions and alternatives to make my home better. She gets to know her clients likes and dislikes. Don't think I would have managed this very well on my own, I'm very thankful for her.

This has been a very satisfactory experience for me, quite unlike the warranty items from the house that I built with another builder 15 years ago. I found Stacey and Shawn to be incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and thorough in completing the few tasks that needed attention. I think what blew me away was at the end of the last work day, I was invited to call if I had any concerns or questions. If the goal was to meet and exceed client expectations, they have and then some. Would I build again with Sterling/Pacesetter, absolutely!!!

I would not change anything really. Both Sarah and Heather have been wonderful to deal with. They have been extremely helpful, responsive and supportive throughout this experience. Our first walk through with Graham was also great as he explained everything in great detail about our home and took the time to answer questions, so all in all it has been a fantastic experience so far!! Would and have recommended friends check out the show homes and meet your wonderful sales team and will continue to do so!

Great experience, the only thing that would have made things better would have been if the parking pad and grading had been done prior to possession and if a timeline would be given for these items more specific then within the next couple weeks. I understand that outside trades are able to show up, but it would be nice to have some type of notice when they are coming.

Very happy. Would not hesitate to buy or recommend Sterling.

Warranty team is great and responsive. Rick was very thorough during the 1 month check up, and took his time explaining everything and going over all items.
Tricia is quick to respond to any concerns and Shane was great with dealing with any deficiencies prior to possession.

The sales Team, Ashely, Tate and Edrick were great to deal with and responded to all inquiries in a professional and timely manner. Made the experience very enjoyable and effortless.

"The property management company - Peka?

Their first communication with us was to say we are overdue on our condo fees. Did not receive an info package from them, have no idea what services they are supposed to be providing, no idea of the status of the operating budget..Over / under ? I know that this is outside of Sterlings operations but possibly a nudge by Sterling to have them be more customer centric like Sterling would go a long way. Have a Merry Christmas Sterling folks - we love our house."

The sales and show home people were really nice. The home and show home construction was nicely done. The site builder was a nice guy who gave us some good tips and helped us out. The look of the house turned out really nice, minor repairs needed.
