Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. What specifically ? The HOA is not $900. It is $295 a month.

We would love to help. I would personally love to help. Let me know when would be a good time to speak. Here is my email. Regards, Ray [email protected]

Thank you for the feedback Rachel.

Awesome! Congratulations, which section?

Best of luck, great community! Let us know if there is ever anything in the world we can do for you. Regards, Ray

I agree Anthony! 44 Floor Plans to choose from, crazy!

@ that’s amazing

Truly! 😎

I agree with you 😎

I appreciate your feedback.

Do you know about the Town Center under construction?

You should waited till 10 minutes 😉

Hi Michele - Good point! This community was completely unaffected everyone. Have you been to the area recently? Great to have you here. :)

Great question Suzanna! If a community has a manned gate then increase in HOA Fee is higher. Some families say it's worth it. In Avenir as an example - two high end communities (Apex and Coral Isles) - One has it the not. Making it a difference in HOA Fee. Westlake's HOA is low because it is not manned. Is there a specific community you are looking at in this regard?

Thank you for the feedback. Are you familiar with Stuart?

Hi Hirsch - About 35 minutes.

Oh No - That Biden!!

A little bit less ;)

Have you been to the community?

@@LIVINGINPALMBEACHFLORIDA I lived in Stuart for many years, I know most of them. It use to be a nice little sleepy fishing town, not any more. I built a real nice house in Rocky Point, would be hard for me to go with a builder.

Starting in the upper $500s

Starting in the Upper $500s

It is to many. Has some families looking to Stuart. Great to have you here Joel!

Thank you! Great to have you to our channel 😊 Onyx - No, not yet. I have seen them in other areas of Florida. I will keep an eye out. What do you think of them?

I’m from the western Caribbean so we build with that in mind and inside walls are also concrete block. I love the idea of the full concrete structure with added hurricane protection, less termite issue, decrease noise, solid upper floors and staircase, lower property insurance, and fair pricing… I love it/them. Insulation and ventilation seem to be well thought out, based on a few videos about their process.

Yes. Everyone should do their homework. I have helped many families in Kolter Communities and almost all Prominent Builders in the area. I have not yet heard a compliant about Kolter. What happened with you?

@ If you haven’t heard a complaint about Kolter you’re not talking to the right people, or not asking the right questions. If you spend a few minutes online you can find a lot of Complaints from Buyers and Homeowners. Including the $22 Million Dollar Settlement Kolter paid in a Class Action Lawsuit over Construction Defects Search the BBB website and you’ll find more Complaints against Kolter. I understand. You’re in the business of selling homes in these communities, Kolter & others. It’s easy to not see things that can complicate your work. As far as my issues, I’ll just say this about one of the numerous issues I have. I’ve lived in my new home for just over 3 years and prior to Closing Kolter was aware they installed Defective Tile that covers every inch of my home except the Primary Bathroom. They failed to Disclose this, which itself may be a serious issue. But 3+ years later Kolter and their Tile Subcontractor, Heritage Carpet & Tile, have still not resolved this issue. They refuse to let me speak to the Tile Manufacturer directly for two reasons. They do not want me to confirm the fact Kolter was aware the tile was defective before we Closed but failed to disclose it because they wanted to get our home Closed. And Kolter does not want me to know how much money the Manufacturer was going to pay Kolter and Heritage Carpet & Tile. Because knowing that amount will mean I will have proof that they were cutting big corners on the work so they could pocket more money. A lot more money! Every Builder in Westlake is required to use Heritage Carpet and Tile. They obviously have an in with Minto that helped them land this arrangement The problem is, if I do a search on the Private Facebook page for Westlake homeowners for “Construction Issues”, there are too many posts to count of Homeowners who have had issues with Heritage Carpet & Tile. It is beyond my comprehension how a Subcontractor like Heritage Carpet and Tile is in business! They’re unprofessional in every way imaginable! If I had to venture a guess, I expect there will be at least one Class Action Lawsuit against Kolter over Construction Defects in Cresswind Palm Beach. Not to mention individual lawsuits. Do your homework! Take off your business blinders and do some research on your own. I will say I do love my community. But it’s because of the friends we’ve made here. It’s not because of the work Kolter does. If we didn’t love the people we would have been gone. And don’t be fooled by the great Customer Survey Results you may see Kolter talk about. I’ve spoken to at least a dozen Homeowners in the first year and a half living here who said they were paid money to give Kolter high scores on their Surveys. Each of them said they were told by the Kolter Staff on site that their Bonus was tied to the Survey Scores. So when offered money in exchange for good scores they gladly accepted.

That's why I always tell people not to call there directly to arrange. You will get who is "up next". We always say this in our videos. It's best if families let us help pick the right consultant based upon your personally fit, etc. Sorry you had a bad experience. If there is ever anything in the world we can do for you - Let us know!

@@LIVINGINPALMBEACHFLORIDA now I know better. I was told by the staff in their office that I could not return for another stay and play.Isn’t that something? How would I get in there again? I mean the homes are gorgeous! Doesn’t take much to walk down the street of dreams but that’s only the surface. Oh well off to The Villages next. Thank you

One of the best 55+ Communities is in Westlake - Cresswind! Good to see you here brother.

That is a factor for sure. Also want a ton of stuff to do!

No disrespect but I truly don't see that. I see resales but none below cost. Would love to discuss: [email protected]

Thank you Anthony! They are beautiful and the builder tells me they are raising prices next month in this community.

@@LIVINGINPALMBEACHFLORIDA that’s nice I wish it was cheaper

For how long have you been telling people that?

@@LIVINGINPALMBEACHFLORIDA Right! 😂

Real Estate has alway gone up,in the long run. I've seen too many families lose out in recent year because they hear stuff like this - Sorry.

Lots of HOAs, no doubt. Do you prefer a non-HOA home?

What do you consider crazy? How high is a crazy fee in your opinion?

@@LIVINGINPALMBEACHFLORIDA Let me clarify: I have many friends in that area who say they will not move into ANY community with an HOA, period. They don’t want some board telling them what to do. And the HOA Fee ALWAYS goes up. Not to mention their ability to force assessments and even foreclose on people.

@@weaverdreams Gotcha - HOAs are not for everybody. There is some truth to that, but - there are things that are good. Me personally - I would never live in a Non-HOA community in Florida. But that is me. Thank you for stopping by!

@@LIVINGINPALMBEACHFLORIDA If an is managed properly they take care of everything makes your life a lot easier

I 100% agree!! :)

Congratulations! It’s a great community. Let me know if there is ever anything in the world I can do for you guys. Regards, Ray
