For an unprecedented third straight year J.D. Power and Associates ranks Trilogy® by Shea Homes highest nationally in satisfying buyers of homes in active adult communities.
“Enhancing our homeowners’ lives by delivering more customer satisfaction has always been our first priority, and as the market accelerates it is especially encouraging to see that our customers are raving fans,” said Rick Andreen, president of Shea Homes’ Active Lifestyle Communities division. The J.D. Power and Associates’ study finds that overall customer satisfaction among buyers of active adult new-home products is higher than previous years. Active adult builders'' scores averaged 838 in 2009 vs. 811 in 2008. Trilogy by Shea Homes received a score of 900.
This designation by J.D. Power and Associates for a third year continues Shea’s legacy of having received the homebuilding industry’s most respected awards: Shea Homes was named Builder of the Year in 2007 by Professional Builder magazine and was named America’s Best Builder by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and Builder Magazine in 2005.
One of the many ways Trilogy continues to exceed customer expectations and deliver more satisfaction is with its Shea Green Certified™ homes, which offer as standard features numerous green technologies, including solar energy systems. These green, energy-efficient homes save up to 60% on energy usage and reduce each home’s carbon footprint by up to 48%. Trilogy’s green product offering taps into consumers’ desire to save money through energy efficiency and does so without charging a premium on the homes.
The 2009 New-Home Builder Customer Satisfaction Study is based on responses from 26,231 buyers of newly built single-family homes. For more information about the study visit http://www.jdpower.com/corporate/news/releases/pdf/2009173-actv.pdf.
