After living in an apartment for years, they realized that the next natural step in their journey was to buy a home together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As first-time homebuyers, they searched for a generous home that they could grow into. They explored a multitude of options but ultimately chose the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/floor-plan\/ruby\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ruby plan<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/florida\/orlando-new-homes\/kissimmee\/seasons-at-big-sky\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Seasons at Big Sky<\/a> in Orlando, thrilled to begin a fresh chapter in a brand-new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Sales Associate, Marcos, made the sales process as seamless as possible. He met with Amber and Michael flexibly at times that suited their schedules, answered their questions in detail, and made them feel comfortable with the sales process. As first-time buyers, Amber and Michael appreciated the guidance throughout their homebuying journey. Now that she has experience buying a home, Amber said that there will be much less anxiety doing it again in the future. \u201cI totally would, 100%, do it again,\u201d Amber said confidently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about the parts of the home that Amber appreciates most, she praised the home\u2019s plentiful natural light and open floor plan. She also mentioned the sizable primary suite with room for a desk, as well as the welcoming entryway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Amber, another wonderful feature of the home is its close proximity to restaurants, hiking trails, and activities. Amber and Michael enjoy being involved in their community, and they are looking forward to exploring all the exciting things to do near their new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations, Amber and Michael! We wish you many wonderful years in your new home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"cross-sell\">\n  <div class=\"cs-content-new\">\n     <div class=\"u-width-30 cs-image\"><a href=\"tel:+888.799.8322\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-img u-width-100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.richmondamerican.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/CrossSell_Lance-in-Study.jpg\" alt=\"Man on cell phone in home office\"><\/a>\n     <\/div>\n     <div class=\"u-width-70 cs-content\">    \n       <h4>Local new home expertise<\/h4>\n       <p>When shopping for a new home, it helps to speak with a local.
