His wife, Emily heads up Sales & Marketing as a Real Estate Professional, giving clients the ease of being able to handle all the real estate transactions with the sale of their current home and building a new one. Emily also coordinates many of the design elements and finishes of each new home. Like you, she often seeks inspiration and new ideas on Houzz!

You choose your home plan, your features and your finishes. At Tranquility Custom Homes, we love building homes and we think it shows.

Executive millwork, upgraded plumbing fixtures, insulation packages, and larger allowances for appliances, lighting, and landscaping are just some of the features that provide you with more value, comfort, and peace of mind. We understand the responsibility we have to deliver a quality custom home. That’s why Tranquility Custom Homes offers an outstanding builders warranty and a complete home orientation along with your final walk-through.

Quality and construction of the home are well above average. I looked for months online and in person with a few specific items which included location (away from the Edmond train tracks), larger rooms, and extra garage space. Home also has a tankless water heater which is a nice upgrade. **Comment from Tranquility Custom Homes:** > Thank you for taking the time to share your kind words. We appreciate your business and wish you many tranquil years in your new home! **★★★★★ — Joel Biles, Nov. 2016** > Emily was absolutely fantastic. She listened to what we were looking for and helped us find it. There was never any pressure to this may be the only one to buy. On top of that she also helped us find a place to rent for a couple of months while waiting on closing. They worked with us on the rental and were very accommodating in what we needed and the time needed. Thank you both. **★★★★★ — timpaulk, Sept. 2014** > My wife and I purchased a home from Tranquility Homes in August of 2014. We have owned and lived in 5 homes over the past 20+ years and this is by far the best home. After looking at multiple homes from different builders we decided on Tranquility as the home that best met our needs and budget. This turned out to be a very good decision. This home has far exceeded our expectations with quality and superb craftsmanship. It is hard to find a builder with the attention to detail we have experienced with Tranquility. The very few items and I mean very few items we needed tweaked were attended to in a timely fashion. From the sales process, through punch list, to closing and then the minor touch ups, Tranquility has been reliable, honest and made the process enjoyable. The best compliment we could give them is that “We would buy from them again”. > Tim & Jackie **Comment from Tranquility Custom Homes:** > Can you give 5 Stars to a client?! If so, I'd nominate Tim and Jackie. Recently, they invited me to come and take a look inside their new Tranquility Home, and I'm blown away by what they have done to make it theirs. It is stunningly beautiful! I'd love to post some photos to share. BIG THANKS for the excellent review and it's truly been our pleasure working with you!! **★★★★★ — Karen Megert, Aug. 2014** > My husband and I fell in love with our Tranquility Home the second we drove past it while on our way to another open house. The curb apeal is beautiful with a mix of high quality stone and brick, landscaping- we knew we had to check it out. > > When we entered the home, Immediately we loved the attention to detail with the beautiful arched living room entry, the elegant crown molding and the brushed nickel throughout. We could tell this home was unique and we wouldn't find another house just like it anywhere. Most importantly, when anyone walks into our home, they say how comfortable the feel of it is and how warm and inviting it is based on the color palettes they chose. > > We previously had started a contract with another local builder which turned out to be extremely difficult to work with and unavailble, not to mention inflexible. We chose to switch our focus to this Tranquility home and immediately, Don Fryer and his agent, Emily, were willling to work with us. They listened to our requests and went above and beyond to make everything perfect for us. Don and Emily went out of their way to give outstanding customer service on many occassions. > > Upon closing, Don and Emily have provided us with a booklet that included all of the owner's manuals for our appliances, the wood floors, air unit, in addition to assisting us with getting our alarm company set up and so much more! They continue to be in contact with us as we start our second month in our new home and have always been available to us. We would highly recommend a Tranquility Home to anyone who is looking for a honest builder, who handles business quickly and utilizes a great agent. **Comment from Tranquility Custom Homes:** > We loved working with the Megerts! Thrilled that they love their new Tranquility Home and wish them many happy years in it. We are honored by their kind words and validates why we love what we do! **★★★★★ — cherryjm, Jan. 2014** > We absolutely love the beautiful home that Tranquility Homes built for us - a great experience from start to finish. The quality of our house is top notch. Don was knowledgeable and provided excellent recommendations throughout the process. He worked within our budget and kept us informed of all cost changes along the ways so there were no surprises. At the end of the day, the estimate was right on target and the vision that we had for our home was realized. **Comment from Tranquility Custom Homes:** > We are grateful for the Cherry's, not only for their thoughtful words, but for the referral of new client for another beautiful custom home! It is our honor and pleasure to turn bricks and mortar into dreams fulfilled for a wonderful family. ## Selected projects - [Wickham Plan - Stonebriar](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wickham-plan-stonebriar-pj-vj~2096702) - Location: Edmond, OK - Photos: 34 - Description: Grand curb appeal with cedar timber columns & side entry double garage connected to a single car garage...all the space you need while preserving the beauty of front elevation.

What are your favorites? A: For interiors, I love Sherwin William's Repose Gray (pale gray) for walls, Silver Mist for accent color (pale green/blue), and Snowbound for trim. **Q: Love the entire look! What is the make/color of countertop and tile?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The counter is Italian marble, which is a solid surface material, wears like granite, not as porous as marble. The color is Breccia Aurora. The floor/field tile...I'm sorry I cannot locate that in our records...this build is a few years old. But, I recognize the bullnose around the tub and shower as travertine. **Q: Home builder** *(in Photo Questions)* Do you build complete homes in Mustang area? A: Yes, we build all over the OKC metro. We don't currently have any lots/land in Mustang. We'd love to talk with you about your building project and interests. Please contact me, Emily, at 405-252-1181, and I can answer your basic questions and arrange a meeting with the builder. Thanks for reaching out to Tranquility Custom Homes! **Q: What is the wodd used for cabinets and the stain?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thanks for asking. The cabinets are maple with a Mission Oak stain. **Q: what is the name of granite** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Giallo Beach... thanks for asking! We have this in our home and love that it really hides the spills/crumbs before you get a chance to clean it up! **Q: I love the finish on the cabinets. Can you tell me, were they glazed?** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me what color you used for the base? A: Thanks for asking...yes, they were glazed. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
