"I wanted to convey my gratitude for constructing such a fine building as Capriana.  It is beautifully designed, right on the ocean, and within walking distance to dining and shopping. The units at over 2.500 sq. ft. are luxurious in every way; with large bedrooms, oversized closets, wood cabinetry, granite counters, and huge balconies to entertain or view the magnificent sunrise and sunset.  This is our third, 2nd home and I haven’t experienced greater customer satisfaction with any of the few problem solving challenges that arise with a new project. 

 

Bottom line Phil, your team has done a great job and already my family and I have had countless hours enjoying the fruits of your labor. Our thanks go out to everyone involved in bringing Capriana to fruition."

~Michael Moss, Capriana Homeowner


"We just wanted to tell you and all of your fine staff how much we enjoy this wonderful condo. After and before our closing all my issues with Emmer Development were well taken care of in the most professional way. The size of my unit and the amenities offered are first class. We have traveled all around the world and seen many wonderful places but each time I return to the Capriana I am more impressed with the world class property you have built. We had been waiting for years to find a building like this in the Central Florida area. The beach and the views here are just outstanding and very important to us is having great air service and interstate highways."
~John Zellars and Randy Tibbals, Capriana Homeowners

 

"I wanted to take the time to write you regarding our most recent purchase of a unit in the Capriana Building in Ormond Beach, Florida. First, let me say that your organization is first rate when it comes to Customer service. All our needs and requests were immediately handled by your team in a thorough and professional manner.

My family and I are thrilled with the beautiful exterior design of this building as well as the great location. The grounds and pool area are second to none on the Ormond Ocean front!

We were very pleased with the interior design of our unit, especially the extra large closet space, 3 large balconies, high ceilings with beautifully appointed crown moldings, and the terrific large rooms that make our unit feel larger than its 2600 square feet!

Overall, our experience in dealing with your company from design to customer service has been first class all the way! It is nice to see how your entire organization stands behind its product. My wife and I could not be happier with our purchase from you."
~Gene J. Moriarty, Capriana Homeowner

 

"Yes, I love my condo at Capriana! 

 

I love my kitchen - the granite counters and maple cabinets look great and the stainless GE appliances are terrific, especially the very quiet dishwasher.

 

It is great to have Publix, Family Dollar, Bealls Outlet, and my bank all within a 3 block radius. I love Ormond By The Sea because it is not as developed as the city of Ormond so it feels more like a little community and not a tourist place. The beach is uncrowded even on weekends and in the middle of the week I have had it all to myself.

The funny thing is when I signed the contract to buy my condo I thought I would probably sell it before I closed on it (do a simultaneous closing) but for some reason I did not try very hard to sell it, running only a couple of ads and that was it. I think somehow deep down I knew I was going to love it too much to sell it! Thank you Nickie for all your help. It was a pleasure doing business with Emmer and with you."
~Nancy Cushing& Blair Harrison, Capriana Homeowners


"We are so happy to be in our beautiful new condo. The closing and everything went  smoothly and the place is great. Thank you to everyone at Emmer for our new home,"

 ~ Kandi & Bill Simons, Capriana Homeowners

"Just a note to let you know that my family and I had a great time yesterday at the grand opening of the club house at Sorrento. The atmosphere was good; food was great and the hostesses were excellent.  We would also like to pass along our thanks for a great job Ms. Jamie is doing with the kids attending day camp at Club Sorrento.  My eight-year old son, who had a tough time getting up in the morning for school, is now up bright and early and eager to get the camp.  He's having a fun time.

We have already shared our thanks with Ms. Jamie and wanted to share them with you as well."
~ Louis Sullivan, ADM, Sorrento Homeowner

“Please extend a big pat-on-the-back to Judy and Colette in the Portofino Sales office. We bought on our first visit and they were a major part of that.  They were very warm, caring, patient and very knowledgeable.  What wonderful customer service!  It’s been a great experience working with your company so far.” 
~ Richard Miranda, Portofino Homeowner

"I think all the staff was very courteous and polite in their dealings, and very professional at the same time.  I can't wait for the soon-to-come amenities.   I really like the palm trees at the entrance to the community.  This is the first home that I have ever bought...but buying an Emmer home was "smooth sailing" so to speak, from the beginning to the end."

~Usama Sabzwari, M.D., Portofino Homeowner

 

"I am glad to be able to compliment the sales staff who were always courteous and even went out of their way to be of service.  Judy even gave me some garden books of her own when she found out I wanted to create a scenic environment within the walls of my privacy fence.  Jennifer was also always friendly and cooperative in providing me with quick access to the model or my home when I needed to measure and prepare for my move.  Overall, I could not speak more highly of your sales staff. 

 

Christie was also very friendly and went out of her way to get me an extra sample of carpet when I lost the one I had already obtained through her efforts.  She diligently worked on making the changes I requested, always with a smile and made sure I was fully aware of the timeframes so changes would not be costly."

~Marlis Meyer, Sorrento Homeowner

“I would also like to take this opportunity to genuinely thank everyone in the construction office.  This was our first new home purchase, and while we didn't build from scratch, it had everything we wanted!  But more to the point, you all have been, in my opinion, very responsive, professional and generally pleasant folks to work with; making a new home purchase a satisfying experience.  You should know, that even a year later, my wife says to me on almost a daily basis, "Thank you, I love my new house!"  So, THANK YOU ALL!  When she is happy, I'm happy!” 
~ David Kanya, Sorrento Homeowner

Capri is a very special place to live.  It’s varied population allows for interesting neighbors.  Most of all,  the neighbors are friendly and helpful.  The sales staff and construction staff have been among the very best features of Capri.  We have had access to them and cooperation from them since before we moved in.”

~Laura Calton, Capri

“Millie and I moved to northwest Gainesville from Pittsburgh to join the UF faculty and to achieve a better way of life.  Then, five years ago, we moved to Capri to further achieve that objective.  And this year, we sold our winter home in a resort in south Florida - because Capri was meeting our needs all year around!”
