Ottawa Home Builder Ratings

Builder reputation is the most critical element that informs a home buyer's purchase, once the criteria of affordability, appeal and perceived quality are satisfied. It's important because builder reputation is a positive indicator of past performance, which is the best predictor of how a builder will perform for you in the future.

Online reviews and ratings are broken
