Former Bay Area Resident is a Fan of Canyon Hills; Ready to Buy Second Pardee Home in Lake Elsinore

    CORONA, CA, March 24, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- It's always good news when a home builder has a repeat buyer, but in the case of Corky Baggett, the good news is that her devotion to community and about her home have become her passions. Several years ago, this vivacious business owner moved her entire company from the Bay Area to southern California after she fell in love with Canyon Hills. She found home prices reasonable and quality that did not disappoint--all good reasons to move. From day one, she felt like she had found a friend in the Pardee Homes' sales and customer service teams, and began to sing their praises whether it was by stopping in to visit at the New Home Gallery or to praise the company and New Home Specialists with a post on Facebook.

"It takes a lot for me to praise something, but the craftsmanship and value of my Pardee home say it all," said Corky Baggett, who is a published author in the field of quality management. "While working in corporate America my focus was quality control, so I recognize the excellence of Pardee's process. I want to give credit where credit is due, so I am happy to let everyone know how I feel. Another big selling point is energy efficiency. I purchased a home at Hillside with Pardee's basic LivingSmart energy saving features, and I'm ecstatic about it. A lot of families don't think about how important it is to have an energy efficient home. I'm now ready to move again and am looking at another Pardee home because I wouldn't even consider another builder."

Corky's enthusiasm and support for her home and community speak volumes, but her devotion to helping underprivileged children is an even more compelling story. In conjunction with her and her husband Gary's business--Uniforms Direct, Inc., she spends considerable company resources to help clothe underprivileged children, making her a treasured resident of Canyon Hills.

"Uniforms Direct, Inc. was conceived on the theory of easily and affordably obtaining school uniforms for our kids," said Baggett. "We weren't happy with how much school uniforms cost, so we decided to change that. In 1999, we ordered our first box of thirty-six polos. From there, we endeavored to create a way for our customers to get school uniforms at an extremely discounted price. Over the last seventeen years, we have changed our industry for the better. We have expanded our operations from Northern California and moved our corporate headquarters to Lake Elsinore, and with our retail and wholesale locations in operation, we are able to make our products available year round and still at our incredibly discounted prices.

"We're all about customer service and recognize the best in others who are devoted to serving their customers as well," added Baggett. "It's easy to be a fan of a company like Pardee Homes who has provided us with ongoing customer service support, even after the sale."

New homes by Pardee at Canyon Hills are priced from the low $300,000s and include one- and two-story floor plans and many homes that are ready to buy with move-in dates this spring.

There are currently four new Pardee neighborhoods selling in Canyon Hills--Amberleaf, Meadow Ridge, Meadow Glen and Summerfield, and a fifth new neighborhood, Senterra, slated to open in April. Senterra will offer stylish and spacious homes up to approximately 4,200 square feet with four to seven bedrooms.
