Renters take the plunge: Buy San Gabriel home

After renting in Las Vegas for the past seven years, first-time homebuyers Ron and Natalee McDonald, along with their two dogs Max and Bailey, found their home: a 2,403-square-foot, four bedroom home at Lennar's San Gabriel community in Mountain's Edge.

The couple had a wish list: value, location, square footage, yard size and features.

"We found what we call 'the whole package' at San Gabriel," said Ron McDonald.

"This home had everything we were looking for - great yard for our dogs, open floor plan and, most importantly, offered amazing included features - it was an incredible value."

The McDonalds' home came with upgraded features that are part of Lennar's Everything's Included package.

"Our home already had the upgrades we wanted," stated McDonald. "Window coverings, upgraded cabinetry, appliances, granite countertops and much more - all we had to do was move in."

McDonald praised the customer service and professionalism he and his wife received throughout their homebuying experience.

"The sales staff helped us through our first-home buying process step by step, the construction team fixed everything in a timely manner and the customer care team made everything very easy for us - we couldn't be happier."
