Tarion, Ontario’s home warranty outfit, recently put out their list of quality builders. Seems they don’t follow the J.D. Power bandwagon and put Mattamy tops. Well, Mattamy did get second place in hi-rise buildings. Hmmm…..
But, if you’re not in the condo market, here is the listing by Tarion regarding their awards. You’ll notice 3 years in a row J.D. Power customer satisfaction award winner Mattamy doesn’t even hit the wanna-be list under the recognized winners for homes (not condo).
Why? Well, this statement might answer that.
“There is no better ‘litmus test’ for good customer service than a happy, satisfied customer. Tarion’s awards recognize builders for going the extra mile and putting their purchasers first to help ensure they have a positive new home experience. That’s not just smart business–it’s good news for the new home construction industry,” said Howard Bogach, Tarion President and CEO. “We congratulate all of the finalists for being recognized by their customers.”
Hey, what can I say? For those reading this blog, you will understand why Mattamy can’t get a legitimate top award now. It is a shame so many people had to suffer in the process over the years.
“The Tarion Awards of Excellence are the only awards that recognize home builders from across Ontario exclusively for their after-sales customer service performance.”
