"We are glad we chose a John Lober home because it has been very easy to work with John and his staff. John is accessible and always willing to listen to our ideas and comments. He is agreeable to changes, will do just about anything to make sure we are happy and maintains a smile and a sense of humor. About the time we were about to move into our new home, my husband observed that I was always smiling each time we arrived at our new home. That feeling continues as Fritz and I enjoy coming home each day!"

"I just wanted to thank you for this opportunity to tell you about the wonderful home that John built for us."

"In December (xmas eve to be exact) we will have been living in our home at 2615 N.W. 79th Terrace for exactly 2 years."

"We love our John Lober Home!! Personally I'm slightly biased but I think that ours is the prettiest on the block."

"Let me tell you the story of how we discovered Provence Homes: Once upon a time my Gary and I were renters. We had always been renters and we decided that maybe it was time to buy a home of our own. We had a realtor recommended to us named Judy (a really fun lady). One day while Gary and I were out driving around neighborhoods, we wound up in the Barry Harbour subdivision. There were a few homes on that very first street of the subdivision for sale and Gary and I wanted to take a look at them. We called Judy and told her where we were and she said "Just meet me at the model home". We thought "What model home?" So we drove into the Hunter's Ridge portion of the subdivision and there they were. Two lovely model homes by John Lober! Gary and I immediately fell in love with the quality and styling of the homes, particularly the smaller of the two. It seemed like a dream. We just looked at each other smiling that secret smile like "I think this is it!" Our realtor, Judy, arrived and we all began talking with the Realty Agent at the model home and asking if there were any lots available in this subdivision. We were informed by this realty agent that there weren't any lots available in this subdivision at Hunters Ridge that they were all taken. We then asked if the model home was for sale and we were told that it wasn't on the market yet. I was heartbroken. The realty agent then told us that if we were interested in that style of home that there were lots available on Prairie View Road. Gary, Judy and I all drove over to Prairie View Road to look around. Judy recommended that we not build a home from scratch since we were first time home buyers and try to find something that fit our needs already in the market. Gary and I both felt disappointed. But my Gary is very good at reading people. He just had a gut feeling that the Realty Agent at Hunter's Ridge wasn't being exactly honest with us. Gary went back the very next day and a different agent was working there (a woman named Wynonna ). He asked her if there were any lots available in the Hunter's Ridged subdivision with potential walk out basement and she said yes. That there were two lots available and that we could make a refundable deposit on one of the lots and then meet with John to see if he could build us a home. To make a very long story short, we are now living blissfully on lot # 38. Gary and I speculate that the first realty agent we met at the model home might not have wanted to split a commission with our realty agent, Judy. I just don't know. But if my Gary hadn't been persistent we might never have been blessed with our lovely sanctuary. Gary and I are both artists at Hallmark Cards and we recognize quality when we see it. The homes that John builds are of the highest quality and styling. They are serene in organization, and wonderfully elegant. Hallmark prides itself on creating cards that are "the very best", we feel that John cares enough to build "the very best"."

"I'm glad I could share our story. To be honest Gary and I aren't really interested in the Fairmont Hotel Room and breakfast, though it is lovely. You see we feel like we already live at the Fairmont Hotel. My home is the best hotel and day spa I could ever stay at. So many congrats to John and you for the wonderful homes that he creates and good luck to whomever your lucky winners that will be weekending on the Plaza. That's so lovely of you and John to do for your customers."

"My husband and I were very impressed the minute we walked in the front door of the John Lober home in Hunter's Ridge. The first thing we noticed were all the large windows which made everything look bright and cheery. The molding around the windows really set them off and looked very expensive in this modest home. The fireplace was a focal point with notable trimming of distinction and the high ceilings just gave you a feeling of being in a much larger home. We particularly like the open concept with the dining area as it also gives you the feeling of more space. The kitchen is so appealing with the cabinets done in an unusual, but very attractive, pecan finish and having the glass cabinet doors is also a lovely touch. The small coffee deck is nice but we appreciate the beautiful larger deck that Mr. Lober added as we like to entertain outside. We do plan to screen in the smaller section for the two of us to enjoy the pleasant Missouri mornings with no bugs! We especially like the way Mr. Lober designed the den adding the French doors to give a little different look and the area built in a semicircle makes for a most unique room. The master bedroom is beautiful and large with the vaulted ceiling and indirect lighting gives it much atmosphere at bedtime. The large shower in the master bath is also much appreciated as well as the Jacuzzi tub. Mr. Lober completed the house with a great choice of light fixtures throughout and we are very grateful for his good choice of mirrors in the 2 bathrooms. Mr. Lober seems to have utilized all the space in a very decorative manner and the workmanship is exceptional. Jerry and I highly recommend any home designed and built by Mr. John Lober."

"Roses lined the walk leading to the large majestic door. I pushed it open and stepped onto beautiful hardwood floors."

"Sunlight streamed through tall windows to fill every space. My excitement grew and I quickened my pace."

"A beautiful kitchen - cabinets I loved. Ceiling fans stirring the air from above."

"Quality appliances, sprinkler system, alarm. A flower box in front to add unique charm."

"Big walk-in closets, Jacuzzi, and more my favorite color tile paving a floor."

"The molding, the fixtures - truly a Provence touch. Tall ceilings - an openness that I loved so much."

"Recessed lighting, sconces on the wall A beautiful fireplace to warm me in the fall."

"Covered patio off the kitchen - a great place to dine. Gather friends and family to enjoy a glass of wine."

"My search was over; I had found my home. Thanks, John and Lori Lober, consider it “SOLD”!"

"Moving day was very exciting because we had already fallen in love with the house John had built “just for us.” He had gracefully complied with all our unusual requests and still managed to build us a home with style and elegance, yet at the same time, designed for comfort and ease of living. Just being together in this beautiful home was almost like living a dream."

"At the present time, we have no desire to leave our home but we do know one thing. We could never be happy in any house unless it had the “Lober touch” so we already know who our next builder will have to be---our friend, John Lober of Provence Homes."

"Traci and I wanted to write a letter to you and your organization concerning the appreciation we have for choosing Provence Homes, Inc. by John Lober. It has truly been an experience we will never forget and will always be thankful for choosing you as our builder. Wanting to build north of the river gave us the ability to have a choice between many builders. Luckily we chose John Lober."

"After we bought our lot in The National our next move was to decide on a builder. John was the third builder we met with and we knew after our meeting, he would be a perfect fit for us. I remember that first meeting very well. John was prepared and brought all the information we had requested. We had specific ideas on what we wanted and he was able to give us answers that day on if he would be able to incorporate those into a home design that we had chosen. We discussed lot placement, changes and the time table. His manner is down to earth and he really listened to the questions we had while suggesting options and ideas. What absolutely clinched the deal was when he called us back the next day with answers and pricing specifics from questions we had the day before. My husband and I are both in sales and expect a certain level of treatment, probably a higher level than most people. John met that from the start!

When we hear of people building in the northland we always recommend John Lober. I know a lot of homeowners say they would never build again because they had such a bad experience. My husband and I agree that we would do it again in a minute with John as our builder. "

"The only way we can express how special it is to build a new home with John Lober is to tell you that if we had to do it over again we would make no hesitation in making the same choice. We believe that is the highest compliment you can pay anyone! Thanks John!"

"John always answered his calls the same day and was very eager to meet in person to discuss questions we had. John went way above the call of duty in making sure everything in the home was the way we wanted it. John and his staff were very cooperative and congenial in getting the work done in a timely manner. He was very conscientious by doing a thorough walk-through and made sure every detail was perfect before we moved in. He also came back 45 days after we moved in to take care of any touch-ups or additional work that needed to be done. We would definitely hire John again and recommend him to others. We love our home and have had no problems. He builds structurally solid, excellent, quality homes. He used top-notch appliances, carpet and amenities. Everything is outstanding! John is very creative in his lay-out and design and we love the attention to detail. We love our John Lober home!"
