So you’ve retired and you’re thinking about the future. Do you want to keep your house and all the bills and maintenance that come with it? Or do you want to move into an active adult community?

You’re probably worried about committing to a community only to realize afterward that it wasn’t what you expected. You may be afraid that the builder is more interested in your money than your care. With Jim Chapman’s award-winning communities you can be assured that they care about you, your welfare, your happiness and your health.

Jim Chapman Communities (JCC) has several communities in the metro Atlanta area that are perfect for retirees who want to stay in a home, but not worry about the maintenance. JCC is right for adults who are active and want to attend events with other people their age, get daily exercise and travel the country or even the world. JCC was built for baby boomers who want it all and expect it all.

Jim Chapman Communities has a full-time leisure director, large swimming pool, fitness center, clubhouse and meeting center at most locations. And large, traditional southern front porches, hardwood floors, entertainment-ready kitchens and spacious master suites are only a few of the details JCC brings to its homes so its members can maintain the lifestyle they want.

So you’re sold on the wonderful facilities, beautiful landscaping and gorgeous homes, but what about the service? Well JCC gets an A+ in service. They work with potential residents and their children to figure out which community and home is perfect for them. Their attention and care during the sale is only surpassed by their dedication to your needs after you move in.

John and Mary Bieberstein can attest to this firsthand. Shortly after moving into their home in Brookhaven at Sugarloaf, Mr. Bieberstein tripped on the edge between the garage and the sidewalk and had to be taken to the hospital. Within days the problem was fixed and JCC went above and beyond to make sure he was okay.

The Bieberstein’s son-in-law, TJ Sharitz, said, “my in-laws were touched and impressed that even after they had closed, the Jim Chapman team rushed to help them and solve the problem. The Chapman’s commitment to exceeding people’s expectations wasn’t just talk, they really followed through for us.”
