Where Life Begins: Stories From Our Newest Homeowners

Where Life Begins: Stories From Our Newest Homeowners

Where Life Begins: Stories From Our Newest Homeowners

At Olthof Homes, we’re more than just a builder—we’re part of the story. In this blog, we’re excited to spotlight two families who recently moved into their dream homes: the Marshalls in Atwater, and The Youngs in Magnolia Meadows. Their experiences remind us why we love what we do. Here's a glimpse into their journeys.

The Marshall Family: A Home Built for Family

“We appreciate that Olthof has been trustworthy through the entire experience. Everyone has been so kind and goes out of their way to help. We’ve been blown away by how much everyone we’ve worked with has gone above and beyond.”

The Marshall family recently settled into a spacious four-bedroom home in our Atwater community, thoughtfully designed with energy-efficient features and open-concept living. It’s a perfect fit for the way they live—and the memories they’re ready to make.

The Young Family: Making Space for What Matters

“She helped with everything—even scanning documents and offering boxes for our move. Honestly, more helpful than my own agent.”

The Young family chose a popular five-bedroom layout in Magnolia Meadows. With a main-floor bedroom and bath, a versatile flex room, and a cozy loft, their new home offers the flexibility they needed—and the personal space their kids were thrilled to decorate after years of renting.

“Watching their excitement as they planned their rooms—from wall colors to bedding—was a highlight of the entire process.”

Karen Wilson, Sales Professional, Magnolia Meadows
