"...The dining room looks beautiful, just the way I was hoping it would
be. All of the trim and the molding is lovely, and I don't want to cover the
windows, because you framed them so nicely...
"...The columns look great, and the stairs and the bathroom too. Also the
cabinets in both the living room and the parlor are very nicely done. The
trim in the parlor is particularly beautiful...
"...The hardwood floor is also great...
"Just to let you know, we are very happy with everything."

"We absolutely love our new
house. We're so proud that Rakow Homes and all the extended gang came
together under your management to create this glorious space we now call
home.
"I can't stop trying to express
our gratitude."

"Thank you for making the
building of my lovely home a pleasant experience. I have had many houses in
the past, however I was very anxious building this one, knowing it would be
my last. Your patience and concern that I be happy with the building of my
home was greatly appreciated. This house brings joy to my family and
myself.
"Your attention to detail,
construction and design, as well as superior construction has resulted in a
home that we can all be proud of. As I sit here in the warmth of my new home,
looking through the window, the winds roaring across the yard this winter's
day, my windows do not shake nor do I hear the wind. The insulation that you
suggested, along with the six inch walls and three zone heating has made my
heat bills very reasonable. My electric bill for December was $135.00, which
includes cooking all those holiday "goodies" for my family who were with us
for the holiday season.
"I will be happy to give a
reference to anyone who inquires. I think this is the most beautiful and
nicest house you have built, however my neighbors may disagree - they think
theirs is the best you've built."
Sincerely,

"We wanted to formally
acknowledge how pleased we are with our new house. Rakow Homes did an
excellent job and were very easy to work with.
"Having built other homes over the
years, we had some definite ideas about what we wanted. The research they
accomplished to find unique items for the house was successful and greatly
appreciated.
"Mike and Steve are committed to
producing a quality product in a timely manner.
"We are thoroughly enjoying the
home and highly recommend Rakow Homes to others."
Thank you,

"A month ago we assumed ownership
of our beautiful new home in the Sanctuary of Ocean Pines. We feel extremely
fortunate to have been referred
to Rakow Homes several months
ago. From the initial meeting with Mike Poole and Steve Rakow to the final
walk-through of our new house, we realized that we were dealing with
knowledgeable and hard-working professionals of uncommon integrity and
talent. Our impression of them has never wavered.
"Building a new home can be
fraught with stress and uncertainty, and for most of us, it represents one
of the biggest financial and emotional investments we will ever make. For
those reasons, we feel especially grateful to have had Rakow Homes in charge
of this important event in our lives. Throughout the entire building
process, Mike and Steve communicated so well that all issues and concerns
were dealt with in a positive and timely manner. They delivered a superior
product for a fair price, involved us in every step along the way, and
constantly endeavored to make the process pleasant and productive. Mike and
Steve can take great pride in the fact that the projects are completed on or
before schedule without sacrificing quality.
We can offer nothing but praise
and gratitude for our beautiful Rakow home. We believe that high standards,
quality construction, and customer satisfaction are the cornerstones of
every Rakow Home. Thanks so much."
Sincerely,
Diana and Woody Gross

"This letter is to anyone who is
looking to build or remodel a home.
We have just concluded the
building of our home in the Point at Ocean Pines with Rakow Homes."
When we were first looking for a
builder, we frankly did not believe all the good things we were hearing
about Rakow Homes. Now that we are finished we can tell you "believe it."
To say that Rakow Homes was
responsive would be an understatement. To say they listened to what we
wanted could not explain the way they worked hand in hand with us throughout
the process.
The home they built for us
achieved our dream. We can not thank Mike Poole and Rakow Homes enough.
Their knowledge of building,
ideas for enhancing our home, and maximizing our building experience are
second to none.
We thank all the people who told
us about Rakow.
Now we are letting you
know.........Believe it.
They are that good!"
