I had picked out a specific Lot in Towne Square (Huntertown,IN) that was closer to the culdesac for my 3 year old son, and had a nice, long backyard. The GR Realtor had me sign the papers for the lot that I had chose so we could get started building. Shortly after that they started building quickly; so quickly that when I went to see my house to do a walk through with the electrician a week or so later, I came to realize that my house was on the wrong lot!!! It was the lot on the right side on the lot that I had chosen. The lot was further away from the culdesac and the back yard is non-existent! It is basically a small hill. I immediately called my Realtor and he said, ""No, that is not your lot!"" It was not at all what I wanted for my first home. I explained that I didn't want the home because it wasn't what I wanted. The Realtor spoke with the owner, Tony Reincke. Mr. Reincke's response was that I had to move forward with the home and keep it or They would sue me for at least $8,000 for their mistake! I felt that I had no choice and moved in. I loved the home, just not the lot location and especially not the yard. My son has nowhere to play and there is nowhere to have a cookout, hang out etc. There is also a huge ravine /trench between my home and my neighbors that both of us have discussed with Granite Ridge to fix. Nothing has been done. My neighbor tried to fix it, but whenever it rains, it comes back and we have a pond at the bottom of the yard. This is extremely dangerous and nothing ever is taken care of. \r

I am not sure what to do. I feel that we definitely got taken advantage of. The end result will be me spending thousands of dollars to create a retaining wall to try to create some kind of a back yard.
