Veteran Realizes American Dream with First New Home Purchase at Pardee Homes' LivingSmart Community in Beaumont

    BEAUMONT, CA, October 29, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dreams can come true at any age, and 70-year old Emile McKendall says he decided to "shoot for the moon and landed on the stars" with the purchase of his very first home--a brand new single story, three-bedroom home at LivingSmart Homes in master-planned Sundance in Beaumont. This U.S. veteran knew that many real estate agents were afraid to take on a VA loan buyer, but found a great team in his Main Street agent, Amanda Zito, and lender representative Lee Durand, impressing McKendall and the sales team at Pardee Homes who helped make the experience go smoothly.

'It takes a lot of work to put a Vet into a home, but working with Pardee Homes was a piece of cake," said McKendall. "I felt like a member of the family, especially when they told me that when I was happy, they'd be happy. Now I'm ready to have my friends and relatives over for a barbecue and to see how great it is to be living the dream here at Sundance. The community is a Class A neighborhood with nice quiet streets and beautiful landscaping."

McKendall is thrilled with his single-story Plan 4 home at LivingSmart Sundance. "I'm so happy to not be renting. I feel like I've died and gone to heaven." The home meets his needs beautifully, with no stairs, high ceilings, a big kitchen and three-bay garage. "The home is beautiful and it's mine," he said.
