Standard Pacific Homes entered the Jacksonville real estate market last year buying out Coppenbarger Homes.  Yet another small independent Jacksonville builder sells out.  Unfortunately, we had a difficult time with this closing.  Our customer was a real estate investor from California and contracted for purchase in 7/05.  It only took Standard Pacific Homes 15 months to complete this build...a 3200 square foot home in Oakleaf Plantation!  On top of which their lender, Countrywide, was slow to respond to any questions my customer had.  In fact, we were lucky enough to get a returned phone call from this lender.  Needless to say this way a poor experience on our part and it will make if very difficult for us to recommend this builder going forward.  They seemed very unorganized at the corporate level and had poor communication with their lender.  In fact, I also could not receive call backs from their warranty manager myself.  A lesson well learned!
