Building With Ryan Homes | Ryan Homes Review | My New Construction Home Journey

[@sandyjackson8535]

Hello, thank you for sharing your journey I’ve learned a lot from your videos. I’m currently building in Maryland with Lennar, and we are in week 9. The process seems to be moving extremely fast! We were provided with an estimated delivery date of September 30th but with the house completely framed at this point I can’t see it taking another 3 1/2 months until completion. I can see August but not September. You mentioned that your home was delivered early, May I ask how early? Oh any by the way I loved the Corsica model with Ryan Homes too.

[@nika_hanson]

You’re most welcome 🥰🥰🥰 Congratulations to you!! Closing was pushed up by a week! I felt the same way, as for the house being completed sooner lol

[@lilliesu]

Sandy, I would like to ask how has been the process with Lennar. I have heard bad stories/ reviews about them and I am currently looking into different builders. Of course I want my dream home, but also want the home to be built extremely well and would prefer a smooth building/ buying process. I appreciate your response.

[@dpaper7962]

I live in Maryland as well and will be with Lennar. My open is that they are better than Ryan Homes far as the material. Would you agree, how’s your house holding up today!?

[@mitchdogstudios]

I'm in the process of getting our Ryan Home built in Ohio right now. Waiting for the mortgage to get the approval to start. Very excited

[@jjturner_10]

How did it go

[@Viva__XO]

That’s great! I’m happy to find someone satisfied with their experience with Ryan Homes

[@jermainelatimer804]

Me and my wife just closed on February 1 with Ryan Homes. I'm very thankful for my Birch home

[@nika_hanson]

Congratulations to you and your family 💪🏽❤️

[@jermainelatimer804]

@@nika_hanson appreciate it very much. God 🙏 is too good. Blessing to you and your family as well.

[@NancysKitchen526]

Appreciate the review. We are looking to purchase a home and read several bad reviews of poor workmanship. Is there any issues with windows, floors or leaks/ hvac?

[@IDrawToothpicks]

​@@NancysKitchen526 get inspector before you close and get the keys to the home. Few weeks before closing is best So they have time to fix issues. Not all Ryan homes are bad. Drb is another company that built my bf house and yes he had issues. But just got them fixed. People love to complain. Just always be aware and catch things. Get your own private home inspector . It'll be worth it in the end!

[@DeLisaCarol]

Thank you for walking through the process, It's good to know that it's sooooooo important to look through the home before.

[@nika_hanson]

You’re welcome 🥰🥰🥰

[@symonerhein4385]

Lovin your look in this video! I've been following your journey since the beginning and just wanted to say the house is looking really great! Keep the content coming!

[@nika_hanson]

Thank you so much for being on this journey with me 🥰🥰

[@Mck499]

When I worked with a construction company we didn't allow the people on the property either. Mainly because of safety concerns and my old foreman told me the home owners liked to mess with stuff so eventually he just quit letting people see the houses

[@kiaraaa54]

Hey Nika! I’ve really been enjoying following your journey. We’re currently building our starter home with Ryan Homes over in Henrico. Ever since the pre-drywall meeting, I’ve been visiting about twice a week and my wife acts like I’m obsessed. 😂 glad to know I’m in good company.

[@nika_hanson]

Thank you so much 🥰 Congratulations to you all!! Go as often as you’d like! 😅

[@waunpriest8744]

Kiara, Which sub did you build in as my wife and I just started in the Kensington Meadows area are you near there and if so could you give me some feedback?

[@kiaraaa54]

[@shellanedawson5622]

Just started watching your videos because I am a newbie home buyer. Just signed my contract with Ryan Homes. I look forward to watching for tips, as I am completely naive to the process. I am building in another state 6hrs away from me so it will be a good travel back and forth but I am committed. Won't be able to go very often which sucks but I'll definitely follow up.

[@nika_hanson]

Thank you so much for watching and congratulations to you 🥰🎉🎉🎉 it’s an exciting journey for sure!! Try to make friends with neighbors who already live in the community and have them go by and check on things for you 😊

[@okdubunf]

hey Shellane, how's the progress as of now? how did it turn out?

[@rubylramos81]

Watching your video and daydreaming about my future Ryan house at Fawn Lakes 😍😍😍

[@nika_hanson]

You’ve got this 🙏🏽 Also, we just moved from the Fredericksburg area!

[@MaliqEsse]

Hi! May I ask if you've been having any issues with the home? It looks great

[@nika_hanson]

Hi! Everything is still good!

[@kimisshecandles]

Everything you discussed is spot on!

Thank you 😍🥰🥰

Very nice review. Thank you. Very informative and appreciate your review. So far we have enjoyed the building process.

Thank you sis 🥰🥰🥰

[@dezree07]

Great video! Thank you for sharing. I love those pendants over your island. Are those Ryan Home pendants or did you replace them? The Versailles is a gorgeous floorplan. I am also in VA and thinking about a Ryan home. Sadly, the Versailles is not offered in their current communities.

[@nika_hanson]

You’re very welcome! I replaced the standard pendant lights that came with the house! These are from Amazon!

[@dan.downing]

I appreciate this review so much, especially the part where you talk about your ability to check in on the progress of your home. You are investing 100s of thousands of dollars and likely 1/5 to a 1/3 of your life in payments (for standard loan lengths) ... it's pretty responsible to want to check that status of a project like that.

[@nika_hanson]

You’re welcome ☺️

[@slimigo321]

thank you for the wonderful review , me and my fiancé are looking into ryan homes , we heard mixed reviews , do you have a updated video of how your house has been holding up ?

[@bizzarovision]

On the same boat, Gonna insert myself here in case she responds

[@Mariam-lv8to]

Did u do the kitchen island pendant before of after they finish building it

[@nika_hanson]

After! You can’t make any changes until after closing and you’re officially the homeowner

[@alejandrabarzola]

Can you share your design process experience? Like costs etc. I know costs vary but its great to get a park

[@JaSon-wl5tj]

I really enjoyed your video and I'm curious to know if you've encountered any issues since purchasing Ryan's home.

[@jjturner_10]

Same

[@kloudkitty1706]

Congrats on the house! I wondered and you might have mentioned this somewhere, but did you use your own realtor for a new build? Is it recommended?

[@nika_hanson]

Thank you! Absolutely you need a realtor!! I’m a realtor myself and each time I built, I used an agent. You need an advocate! Their sales rep doesn’t have your best interest

[@SdotSdot-yk9lu]

Great review! Did Ryan Homes include a finished basement with your new home?

[@bayodaman]

I'm building my first home with DRH. I think one of the biggest things is not acting confused and making sure you get a 3rd party inspector for all three phases. Almost bought a home with Lennar last year but price was really high so decided not to go along. This home were getting now is only 385 so for the area and bedroom I think It's a great deal. I look at Redfin everyday so I know what type of price I should be paying and honestly, it's a steal. Being only 26 I'm excited/Scared lol to be in a home 🤣🤣 good scared though.

[@ladynatashanicole]

I’m building with Ryan Homes in New Jersey breaking ground next week this video was very encouraging and helpful thank you. May I ask what state your in with your Ryan Hone ?

[@nika_hanson]

Congratulations! How exciting! I’m in Virginia

[@rjl42985]

Did you happen to buy the attic storage

[@clarknicole2000]

Love your hair!! Did you install your pendant lights over the island yourself? I love those.

[@nika_hanson]

Thank you so much! 🥰 Yes, there are an Amazon find!

[@SWAHINIKA]

Hey Nika is Saint Lawrence or Corsica better with Ryan homes?

[@nika_hanson]

Hey!! That’s a personal decision. They are both great floorplans, but it will ultimately depend on what you’re looking for in a home 😊

[@lucassmith2249]

Hello I’m in VA and plan on building with Ryan homes in wva. Did you use a realtor? Reason why I’m asking is I’ve been told they will help you with the legalities of the contract. I’ve read reviews where people used Ryan homes and they’re home never got built and they never got their deposit back. Thanks.

[@nika_hanson]

Oh yes! You should absolutely use a Realtor!! You need someone to advocate for you, at their expense!! Also, Realtors can negotiate upgrades, etc!

[@CherylYung-zb2pz]

Beautiful smile!

[@nika_hanson]

Thank you!

[@okdubunf]

for pre-approval did you have all your down payment money in cash already? I know for new constructions you pay an early deposit at time of purchase contract, and down payment as per usual at closing.. but will the lender expect you to have the downpayment in cash very early on?

[@nika_hanson]

Yes we had to have proof of the downpayment in cash. We had to pay 1% of the purchase price at the time of signing the contract and a minimum of 3% had to be paid before they broke ground. Every community does things different, but I had to pay everything before construction began. And then you have to bring closing costs to the closing table

[@247kingdomwoman]

This is such confirmation! Stocker here🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️. 💯 ACCOUNTABILITY IS KEY, and ask ?s. You must have been on our home last night sis. Your speaking truth and wisdom. Interested in Ryan Homes(we’re in Ohio) and I am just so hesitant bc I don’t want a beautiful mess. Much like what your saying, my husband and I would be their everyday. I have a ? Does Ryan Homes accept FHA loans? (This would be our first home.) Thx in advance, congratulations on baby and new home. New subbie🙋🏾‍♀️

[@jmr2221]

Is the down payment due all at once

[@linmack3560]

How long did it take for you to get your pre approval? How much did you have to put down? I called them today and they said $35000. I was wondering if that was typical.

[@nika_hanson]

It took about 48 hours. I had to put down 3% of the sales price. That’s typical for new construction

[@Intentionalwithlelum]

U look pretty sis
