Homeowners find everything they need in Olathe: ‘It worked out perfectly’

After deciding to sell their longtime Olathe home, Randy and Jerri Crawford looked at homes and communities throughout Johnson County. While out on a drive, an unexpected route led them to an exciting discovery.

“I don’t know why but I went out by Lake Olathe and kept going on 143rd Street,” Randy said. “I see this community, Huntford, and I said, ‘What is this?’”

The homes immediately caught Randy and Jerri’s attention, including the fact that James Hardie siding is a standard feature on Huntford homes.

Randy and Jerri stopped by the community’s model home and met with community manager Amy Maher. After learning more about their preferences, including that they wanted a single-level home, Amy took them to tour a move-in ready ranch floor plan. The rest, as they say, was history!

“I have multiple sclerosis, and stairs aren’t a good fit,” Randy said. “We wanted a single-level home that would allow us to have everything we need on one level. When we looked at the house Amy showed us, we said, ‘OK, this is the one we want,’” Randy said.

Because they opted for a move-in ready home, Randy and Jerri were able to accommodate what they hoped would be a quick timeline.

“It was less than a month from when we said we wanted to buy the home until we were moved in to Huntford,” Randy said. “It’s been a really great experience, and Amy is incredible. The buying process was made better because of her.”

For prospective buyers who envy the speed at which Randy and Jerri moved into Huntford, you’re in luck. Four move-in ready homes await in a mix of reverse 1½-story and two-story layouts with four bedrooms and three to 3½ bathrooms. Prices range from $373,840 to $404,935.

Additionally, each of these move-in ready homes qualifies for Inspired Homes’ summer promotion. Buy a move-in ready home and close by August 30, 2018, and you’ll get $5,000 to spend how you want at Nebraska Furniture Mart.

Not only that, but you’ll be moved into the new community in time to start the new school year and with plenty of warm weather left to enjoy Huntford’s prime Olathe location. Lake Olathe is nearby and is in the midst of an exciting expansion that will put attractions like a zip line, botanical garden and a marina just down the hill from Huntford. The community is within the Olathe School District, including Olathe West High School, which opened last year to widespread acclaim.

“The location is fantastic, the community is fantastic,” Randy said. “We feel we’ve really been blessed to do this in a short amount of time. It’s worked out perfectly.”
