MAJOR shout out to Derrick Cozette, Joe Pino, intern Coleton, & Garrett in Sales for such a seamless, easy, homebuilding process!! Right from purchase, my experience with the team was phenomenal, yet it somehow managed to get better as the home was being built.
Any time I had question about the process, Derrick was there immediately and was ready to help. The weekly photos from him & Joe truly made me feel like I was there following alongside my home being built (which was EXTRA nice since I’m moving from out of town and couldn’t be there in person). The attention to detail in the pictures provided is truly top notch - different angles, different lighting, different time of day…I really felt like I got to see it all! You can tell Derrick is an extremely seasoned Program Manager, and Ryan Homes is lucky to have him on their team.
Both walkthrough experiences (pre-drywall and warranty) were also fantastic. Derrick & Joe did our pre-drywall, and Derrick & Coleton did our warranty walkthrough, and I know I absolutely took more time than was allotted for those appointments due to my questions but they NEVER made me feel rushed. They took their time, went over everything thoroughly, taught me how to use everything in my home, and even gave me some tips and tricks of the trade to help ease me into homeownership since this is my first time!
Did I mention the home is GORGEOUS?! I built the Bethany Model, which is the Villa, and it is just perfection. I love that I got to customize my inside, I love that I got to hand select my lot, and I LOVE that you can tell the inside of the home was cared for as if Derrick himself were living there. From the tradesmen to the craftsmen to the cleaners, you can tell everyone who worked on the home took pride in their work and did things the right way. There were no corners cut, in fact, it truly feels as though they went above and beyond in most instances!
If you’re looking for a new home, I promise you, look no further. These are home builders you can trust, these are PEOPLE you can trust, and I’m just so grateful for my experience.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Derrick, Joe, Coleton, Garrett, and the whole GDNV team for helping make my homeowner dreams come true. 🥰

We recently moved into our new Bethany Villa, The experiance has been much better than we expected. From Nikki on the sales end and her guidance and communication to Derrick Cozzette for the detailed project management he provided, we could not have asked for more. Derrick especially provided weekly updates, answered every question that we have asked and is professional, personable and a great person to work with. Thank you, Derrick, for being one of the best.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Experience with Derrick Cozzette and the Grande Dunes North Village Team
As we approach closing on our new home in Grande Dunes North Village, we wanted to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding experience we have had throughout this entire journey.
From the very beginning, Derrick Cozzette, Project Manager, has provided nothing short of a true white-glove experience. His professionalism, attention to detail, communication, and commitment to customer satisfaction have exceeded every expectation we had. Building a home can be a stressful process, but Derrick made it feel seamless. He consistently went above and beyond, providing regular updates, answering every question promptly, and ensuring that every concern was addressed with care and expertise.
What impressed us most was Derrick’s genuine dedication to his homeowners. He treats every interaction with respect, patience, and professionalism, making us feel valued every step of the way. His knowledge, organization, and customer-focused approach are truly second to none. It is rare to find someone who combines technical expertise with such exceptional people skills.
We would also like to give a special shout-out to Joe Pino and the entire Grande Dunes North Village team. Their teamwork, responsiveness, and commitment to excellence have been evident throughout the entire process. Every member of the team has contributed to making this one of the most positive home-buying experiences we have ever had.
From the sales process to construction updates, walkthroughs, and final preparations, we have felt supported, informed, and appreciated. The level of customer service provided by Derrick, Joe, and the entire team reflects the highest standards of professionalism and quality.
Thank you for making our dream home a reality. We are incredibly grateful for all of your hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence.

We recently bought a beautiful villa in Grand Dunes North Village. This community will be extraordinary once it's completed. The best part of the experience has been working with Brad Levine and his team at Ryan Homes. Their communication and follow-through have been exceptional throughout the entire process. I'm eagerly looking forward to moving in!
