Reid’s Heritage Homes goes the extra mile for a couple in love
By Lucas on Oct 31, 2016
It’s not every day we receive heartwarming news from a builder, so this is a rare (and adorable) treat for our readers. Reid’s Heritage Homes New Homes Sales Consultant, Chris Roth, recently conspired with first-time buyer, Philippe, in his elaborate plan to propose to his partner, Antoinette!
After working with Chris to buy their very first home - a huge life decision and milestone - at Westminster Highlands in Fergus, Philippe approached Chris to help him with another big life moment. Chris called Philippe and Antoinette with troubling news, saying that something was “wrong with the purchase” to get them onsite. Prior to the call, Chris gave Philippe access to an under construction model so he could set up roses in the shape of a heart, which was the setting of the big question.
“My partner and I have been looking at homes in Guelph and the surrounding areas for almost half a year when we walked into the model home at Westminster Highlands in Fergus. We had been to several open houses, had been outbid on a few houses and had gotten to a point where we walked into houses with a sense of self-defeat and negativity,” says Philippe. “Things changed that one Saturday morning when we walked into the model home and were greeted by Chris Roth, the sales agent. Chris greeted us with a smile, made us feel welcome and answered all of our questions. He dedicated more of his time to us than was necessary, and he did it with a smile.”
After being impressed by the price and Chris’ honesty, salesmanship, and availability, Philippe and Antoinette purchased at Westminster Highlands. Even after the purchase, when Philippe and Antoinette were sending numerous emails and texts, as well as phone calls, Chris was patient and available to address their concerns and questions.
“Chris demonstrated great creativity and flair for the dramatic while we sent my partner on an emotional rollercoaster ride which ended with me getting down on one knee. Afterwards, when we returned to the model home, Chris greeted us like family, with joy and pride,” Philippe says. “I have known many great salesmen in my life, and Chris is definitely a great salesman. He is also a great person. If he is a reflection of Reid's Heritage Homes, then he is definitely putting the company's best foot forward.”
