Paulette Cousino

Just moving from Chicago to Detroit and never thought I could build my own beautiful home. And once I came across Greatwater Homes and had my first conversation with Rob, I knew that it could become a reality. I’ve been working with Rob since August. He is fantastic, kind, patient and so fun to work with. Today was a huge day, I made all the selections for my home. It was so much fun, truly one of the best days of my life and I want to thank Rob for making it such an incredible experience. I can’t wait to move in!
