Team Benya in the news again!

April 10, 2008 9:14 am 0 comments

We’ve been quoted for another news article, this time from the Maryland Independent!  Their article yesterday, “Home Builder Pulling Out Of Region”, Has a brief quote from us, and interestingly enough this article is an expanded version of my brief blog post last month about KB leaving the region!  Thanks to Kayleigh Kulp for the great article, and Gary Smith for the photo!

I’ve been aware of their pull-out for about a month now, and the more I think about it, the more it irks me.  The new construction home my client wanted is now sitting, slab poured, waiting for walls, but KB isn’t going to finish building it.  I understand they’re losing money because they aren’t selling enough homes.  Wouldn’t it make sense to go through with the contracts that you already have though?  Money has already been spent on the work thus far, why not follow through with it?

    St. Charles Town Center Mall Improvements!

    I digress, I haven’t been impressed with the mall here in Charles County recently.  One of the reasons is because they have been doing a lot of renovation work on it, and navigating through a maze of cones and equipment isn’t exactly my cup of tea. It looks like they’re getting close to finishing their work, so I stopped by to take a couple of pictures and see what the changes look like. In short, I think the modernization project looks [...]
