Testimonies

Phil and Angela Bolton — Grassy Creek, North Carolina

I am so sorry I didn’t send this sooner. I just want to thank you for the wonderful photos. I was so pleased that instead of thanking you I started forwarding the photos to friends and family. 

Jim & Janet Bates — Boone, North Carolina

We are please with the way things went during our house set. We watched the crew set up the house. They were careful getting the roof lined up rather than just haphazardly flipping together, as the Town of Boone’s inspector noted was very common. The inspector stated that this was the best set modular home that he had ever seen in Boone and was very impressed. We are also happy with the quality craftsmanship of both the Ritz-Craft home and Mountain Places Builders & Developer’s crews. The fact that the house is very nice has enabled us to receive multiple offers on it before the house was completely finished.

Mark Becker – Michigan (NC Property)

I’m sure there are plenty of “good ole boys” who have access to a dozer or a backhoe, and they can manage to push dirt where you want it. But David Owens is a civil engineer with both the knowledge and experience to figure out exactly what’s needed and the best way to do it. He’s easy to talk with, and knows how to listen. He understood what I wanted, understood my dream, and created an entrance to my property that’s right out of a children’s storybook. It’s exactly what I was hoping for! He has what it takes to get it done right!

Jonathan Lubkemann – BB&T - Boone, North Carolina

I have been impressed with Mr. Owens’ energy and enthusiasm toward his projects. He is a true “go-getter”. I look forward to seeing him succeed in his other projects.

Vic Troncalli – Re/Max - Boone, North Carolina

You have been most helpful and I look forward to continuing to share your information with others. We have recommended your building services to several customers. The most recent build in Boone resulted in multiple offers and a sale within 21 days. The road and site work that I have also recommended was carried out on time and professionally. Every referral has commented on the professionalism which is most often not the case in this area. There is a definite need in the mountains for an honest, dependable builder and developer. I hope more people try to become better informed on your company to avoid the pitfalls that they may be facing. We will recommend you in the future and please do not hesitate to give my number to potential customers.

Ken Gottfried – Owner/Developer - Boone, North Carolina

These guys are unbelievable. They know how to make mole hills out of mountains and the site engineering is incredible. I was very pleased with the worker’s work ethic and how well they maintained the equipment. You can tell they know their business and take pride in their work and customer satisfaction.

Don Shepherd – Principal Broker Re/Max Benchmark - Mtn. City, TN

When I saw the private road that Mountain Places Land Development put in for some property owners on Forrest Wood Dr., I was amazed.  Everyone said that it could not be done.  The work by far is the best I have ever seen.  Not just the road itself but the work put into it.

Bob McDonald - Affiliate Broker General Realty of Tennessee - Mtn. City, TN

I’m very impressed with your road building abilities.  You have taken a beautiful piece of wilderness and built a very accessible road.  With a property being so narrow and steep, I never thought anyone would be able to enjoy those great mountain top views.    I will recommend you to all of my real estate customers.
