Dear Coulee Development Inc.,

Just a short note to say thank you to your cooperation for the outstanding job you guys did on my house in Trempealeau, WI. Referred to as the yellow house.

Leigh and I live in Scottsdale, AZ and are both in the real estate business. I own a residential resale company and Leigh works for one of the largest home builders in the nation. We are no strangers to real estate.

But when my parents decided to pack up and move back to Rochester, MN from Tucson, AZ, we were a little shocked. So Leigh and I decided to go out there with them and help them find a home. While we were there we fell in love with the area of Winona, MN right on the Mississippi River. We wanted to see also if there was a property we could buy there in Winona as a vacation/second home that would lets us be closer to my parents.

We looked at dozens of homes, and were ready to come home empty handed, discouraged by the age of homes, the condition, the lot sizes and lack of attention to details.

That is of course until we drove up to the house you built, and Leigh said �we are done. I want it! It was perfect! A brand new built home that we can enjoy, not have to worry when we are back here in Arizona. The craftsmanship, the detail, the finish, and the lot location with two acres of wooded trees everywhere, exactly what we wanted.

The whole team at Coulee Development was outstanding, especially Joe Terek, who has been helpful with the little kinks of the new home. He has also been looking after the home while we are gone, receiving furniture deliveries, and even watching out for my mother when she stays there.

I wanted to say thanks again from my whole family for giving us the best Christmas gift ever. A NEW HOME. You�re a good group of guys and a GREAT builder!

I will definitely refer your company and team to anyone out here that inquires about the home. Cheers.

Sincerely,

Craig Hansen
