A Happy Homeowner

July 11, 2008

Dan Ryan Builders
60 Thomas Johnson Drive
Frederick. MD 21702

Dear Mr. Ryan,


I want to thank you so much for everything that you and your team of professionals did to make my dream of affording a home come true. Every time I come home I look at this beautiful house and still can't believe this is mine. When I was growing up I experienced things in life like sleeping in my car with no job and a pocket full of change. Since then life, though difficult at times continued to improve and get better.

On November 15, 2005 my son was born and this in itself changed my life again. At this point I was living in a crammed one bedroom apartment and I knew that I needed to provide a better living environment for my son.

Since this was my first time buying a home, I looked at several areas until finally choosing the house I presently reside in. I must say that I never felt more relaxed through my home buying experience, only because the people that you employed made it this way.

The first person I want to mention is Ben Shively. Dealing with Ben was like talking to a friend of mine and not the typical sales person who always seems to talk like there reading from a script. He made things so easy for me understand and when I had a question he was upfront and honest with me. Ben was always in contact with me and when things weren't right he went the extra mile to make sure it was right.

Second person I wanted to mention was Michael Crist with Monocacy Mortgage. I can't thank him enough for everything he did to ensure that I was going to be living in this house. It seemed like it was his personal goal to do whatever it took to get me into this house. And though my mortgage went through another lender that Mike personally knew, he was there from the beginning all the way to the end.

Since moving in, everything has gone great. I've called the service number a few times for some minor things, but they have always been courteous and prompt. Ray Brice has been very helpful and has quickly responded to everything I needed to make sure I was happy.

Once again I want to thank you for not only making this home a reality for me, but to ensure that my little boy has a place that he can call his house.

Sincerely,

Christopher Sullivan
