High Desert Housing committed to excellence

Most homebuyers have three priorities when they are looking to buy a home. They want value for their dollar, a home that is energy efficient, and outstanding customer service from the builder.

Greg Hoberg and his staff - Aaron Drobnick and Joe Drobnick - take pride in everything they do at High Desert Housing. From start to finish - from the first look at the various floor plans available to moving in - buyers have been duly impressed. Joe is highly qualified, with more than 19 years of experience in the manufactured home sales field.

Recently, High Desert Housing was presented with a "Commitment of Excellence" Arthur Award by Skyline Corporation for reaching outstanding levels of customer satisfaction. These awards are given annually and are based on the results of surveys completed by customers over a 12-month period. Skyline bases its awards on five specific criteria: Sales, service, preparation, overall dealer satisfaction, and product quality. Retailers must receive excellent rating in all categories pertaining to quality and customer service to achieve such high honors.

High Desert Housing was presented, once again, with the prestigious "Top 25" in the nation award. They were number-one out of 500 independent Skyline retailers in 2008. These are just the most recent honors Greg's company has received.

Customer satisfaction is a top priority with High Desert Housing. Since 1999 they have received the Platinum Customer Satisfaction award from Skyline Homes, with the notation "Commitment of Excellence." High Desert Housing has been among the Top 25 manufactured housing businesses in the nation and were named in the Top Five in 2006.

High Desert Housing in Victorville can meet the most discriminating homebuyer's needs with their selection of Skyline manufactured homes. Skyline recently announced its new Palm Springs Custom homes, models that combine three or four of Skyline's most popular plans with cost reductions of between $10,000 and $12,000. The high quality is maintained, including extras such as hardwood cabinets.

The manufactured housing market is still enjoying great popularity in today's economy. The homes are very affordable, interest rates are lower, and everything can be move-in ready within 60 days.

The Home Recovery Act of 2008 (H.R. 3221) establishes a first-time homebuyer tax credit for qualified purchases and includes manufactured homes.

Skyline homes are well built. Featuring drywall inside, dual-pane windows throughout, and R22 insulation in the floors, Skyline manufactured homes are very energy efficient, which means comfortable living for families all year long.

Quality in the construction of Skyline manufactured homes is evident with the attention to detail - stylish bullnose corners, vaulted ceilings with skylights and Solatubes, as well as special design features such as pot shelves and nooks, and built-in fireplaces or stand-alone wood stove areas. Many rooms in these homes are ceiling-fan ready.

Gourmet cooks and budding top chefs will fall in love with the kitchens in these homes. General Electric appliances, easy-care vinyl flooring, stand-alone work islands, extra outlets for small appliances, and elegant counter surfaces of tile, Formica, or Corian make for good looks as well. The ample cabinets, cupboards, and drawers are maple hardwood with fully vinyl-lined interiors and upscale Euro hinges.

From the outside, these homes are both stylish and sturdy. Their cement fiberglass exteriors carry a 25-year warranty and are virtually maintenance free.

Skyline floor plans range from 1,050 square feet to 2,300 square feet in double-wide or triple-wide models and anywhere from three bedroom-two bathroom plans to five bedroom-three bathroom layouts. Split floor plans are available as is one of the newer plans featuring a sunken family room. Double-wide homes now range in width from 24 to a newly expanded 32 feet.

High Desert Housing makes buying a manufactured home a breeze. They take care of everything - permits, financing and site preparation - and your home can be ready for move-in within as little as four weeks on site. Permanent foundation setup and redwood decks are available, as well.
