Seriously One Eye! I'm sure getting Norstar to agree to that will be like getting blood from a stone. No delay papers here. You?

What? Talk about a 180 Mango.

Hey Marco, I'm pretty sure that the posts were removed by Mango voluntarily. Norstar probably threw in a few "incentives" for her to do so. I doubt that her account was hacked. But hey! If she managed to squeeze anything out of Norstar then good for her!

It looks like the Wilshire people wrote most of these reviews themselves. LOL!

Where was this site 3 years ago! This is a very new website.

Hi one eye, LMAO! Brand used condos indeed! I don't know of a particular site that we can use for planning furniture placement but the program Visio let's you create floor plans. It's really fun! I'm glad we have a forum to support each other too. :)

That is so lame! I paid for laminate flooring throughout as an upgrade. :(

Hi Mango, Norstar would have lost something if they'd informed you because they would have made you more vigilant in looking for damage which, if spotted, would have cost them more money. Norstar is all about the money Mango and not about the customer service. I still 100% agree with you...

Hi Mango, I'm really sorry to hear about this! Sadly, I'm not in the least bit surprised that this is going on as my experience with Norstar has been unpleasant for awhile. They have been very underhanded and sneaky with many things. My guess is that it may be legit for Norstar to show...

This is the checklist that I used: http://www.tarion.com/New-Home-Buyers/Your-Pre-Delivery-Inspection/Pages/PDI-Check-List.aspx

I agree with you Mango, I only took my home inspector because he was a friend. Just print the PDI checklist and go through yourself. Tony is really nice and he is not stand-offish or confrontational at all when you find problems. I only advise taking a home inspector with you if you...

Hi Maple Mystery, Don't bother calling Norstar. None of the head office people will be there and they will just repeat what their last letter said. Call the Tarion representative that your appointment letter lists and let him know you'll be bringing your agent and home inspector. It won't...

Hi Maple, If I had to make a choice, I would take the home inspector rather than the agent. That's entirely up to you though. My home inspector happens to be a friend so he didin't mind tagging along to be my extra pair of eyes. Don't worry about it too much though. I think that...

Hey Mango, I can understand why your breakfast bar didn't extend then. It would drive you nuts if it jutted out into the hallway! LOL! I guess the trouble I have with mine is that there is room for the countertop to have been extended along the wall. I'm a little confused by it. I'll...

Thanks Nels! It really was fun! As you all have (or soon will) experience, it is just so rewarding to walk through the floor plan that you've been trying to visualize for so long. I've been waiting almost 3 years personally! There was no light in the laundry room however, I was pleasantly...

Thanks Sea2Sky! It was probably the most positive experience I've had with Norstar! The builder that walked through with me was Tony and he is super patient and friendly. I went with my home inspector and he let us poke around in there for an hour. There were some issues but Tony took...

Hi Everyone, I have my PDI today! I'll let you know how it goes. I'm really looking forward to it!

Thanks Mango! I was so happy to find that there is a place for all of us future neighbours to vent! Luckily, I happen to know one of my neighbours through sheer coincidence and have been able to see that I am not the only person who has had difficulty with this company. I suggest that we...

OMG! This forum was such a lucky find! I have purchased a unit in this building and I am very unhappy with the customer service that has been provided to me by Karen from Norstar. I have had several issues crop up during the last few months since I was able to choose my upgrades. 1) When...
