We love to get feedback from satisfied Options homeowners.  We pride ourselves on producing quality homes at cost-effective prices.  We know this would not be possible without Deltera, the construction arm of Tridel. 

Check out this complementary letter from Options homeowner Elliott who discusses his experience with Deltera:

Dear Annie,

I would like to complement and send my great appreciation to the team of workers - Ben, Paul, and another man (who actually did the work) - who came to make the repairs in my unit last Tuesday. I'm not actually sure who to send this email to so I thought I would send it to you.

These men were very professional and worked very efficiently on each item one after another until they were all completed. I was very impressed to say the least (and I suppose you know how I like efficiency).

The day it was scheduled on happened to be a very convenient day for me as well. I very much appreciated their work and professionalism.

 I had meant to send this email earlier but kept putting it off. In any case, here it is. Thank you Options and Deltera! 

Regards,

Elliott

Danforth Village Estates, an Options community currently under development, celebrated Options 20th Anniversary at the Agincourt Library.

Residents got together to mix and mingle with their new neighbours and hear about the progress being made on their future home! 

We asked residents at the party how their Options experience has been so far. Check out some of the answers we got:

Favourite Options Moment: "Having the rep at Options tell me that "everything looks in order.  Welcome!" - Diahann M.

"After attending the information session I was excited about having the 'option' to own. The partnership with Tridel, an established builder with a great reputation, at an affordable price sold me!" - Shonniella Y.

Thanks to everyone who came and made the Danforth Village Estates 20th Anniversary Event such a success! Check out some photos below!

  Homeowners at Danforth Village Estates, like all Options developments, come from diverse backgrounds, from single mothers to empty nesters downsizing from larger homes.

Options for Homes believes that home ownership should be available to everyone.  Home ownership makes households financially stronger which in turn builds stronger cities.  

We were very lucky to hear from a number of public figures who have always supported Options for Homes and Home Ownership Alternatives at our 20th Anniversary World Habitat Day event on Monday, October 6.  Above are just a few of the amazing comments that were made and calls to action that were issued by our incredible allies. 

We hope that your weekend will be filled with family, friends and lots of food. 

At Options we can never resist a good potluck!
