Lugano in Gainesville, FL
“We purchased our home in June. Love the community and the staff. Very honest service with a "client oriented attitude" despite the limitations imposed during the COVID-era. This might end up being our forever home.” - Pablo Pizarro
“Emmer has been a wonderful company from which to buy my forever home. Everyone has been so very helpful. It’s like a big family!” - Robin Jonkhoff
“I just recently purchased and built a new home in Lugano with Emmer Development. The entire process from start to finish was such a joy! I am still in total shock and utter disbelief because of all of the horror stories that you hear when folks build homes, but thank the Lord, I had none of these issues with the team at Emmer. From the sales girls who helped me find the right lot for me to Ashley Awbrey who made me realize building a dream home can be SO MUCH FUN (and Ashley also kept me up-to-date on the entire build from start to finish and gave me SO much needed guidance and support) to Rodney, the Superintendent, and his amazing crew this has been such a wonderful and EXCELLENT experience. I feel truly blessed to call Lugano home and to know that the team at Emmer Development is always going to go above and beyond to take care of anything I need for my new home. They are AMAZING and truly outstanding. I am so thankful that I chose to build in Lugano when I had so many other choices; I certainly know I made the right choice! Not to mention the neighborhood is filled with a lot of wonderful neighbors, located in a prime time location and surrounded by the best schools. This is definitely the best place to live (and build a home)!” - Christina Ramos
“The staff at Emmer are extremely helpful, friendly, and welcoming. Couldn't ask for a better experience when I was looking for my first home in Lugano.” - Mark Coleman
“We have had an amazing experience so far in Lugano! Shelli and Erica at the model, our designer Ashley, and our superintendent Rodney have all been awesome! They under promise and over deliver. They are a great team! We have not met Lori, but we know she is the glue that holds it all together and have always had positive outcomes from her decisions. We would definitely recommend this builder and community!” - Heather Rice
“Love this new and growing community. Very peaceful place to live.” - Kelli Rachel
Capriana in Ormond-By-The-Sea, FL
"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, over sized 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
"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
"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 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
"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
Sorrento in Gainesville, FL
"I like Sorrento because it is a quiet neighborhood with good amenities. My home is wired with home theater and internet, and it has excellent appliances. I am very satisfied overall." - Dr. Shehzad Rehman
"The thing I have liked best about buying a home from Sorrento is the personal feel that comes with every aspect of actually owning a home. The service that we received when first shopping for a home and picking out the finishing touches did not stop after we moved in. The office worked with us during construction to make sure things were right. When you add the benefits of the clubhouse, Sorrento is pretty amazing. " - Zach Broom
"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 to 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"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 time frames so changes would not be costly. " - Marlis Myers
