the street is that we&#8217;re supposed to be in a down market.\u00a0 That\u2019s what happened on Saturday, October 2nd, when Schell Brothers, a local builder in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, celebrated with hundreds of families who purchased homes from the company since its inception seven years ago.\u00a0 &#8220;As soon as we sent out the first invitation about the event, the responses began to pour in,&#8221; said Chris Schell, owner of the company.\u00a0 &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t be happier, because this is something I&#8217;ve always wanted to do for the people who mean so much to our company.\u00a0 Through the years, I&#8217;ve gotten to know many of the individuals who live in our homes; they really are an extension of the Schell Brothers family.&#8221;<br \/>\nWith continued national news stories focused on the struggling housing market, the Schell Brothers event is an indicator that the Delaware beach locale is not following negative national trends.\u00a0 Under the theme &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/schellbrothers.com\/coming-together\">Coming Together &#8211; Building Memories<\/a>&#8220;, the Schell Brothers party was held in Dewey Beach, Delaware, where guests enjoyed striking sunset views over the bay.\u00a0 Midway through the evening, Schell addressed the crowd, thanking them and explaining that an unrelenting focus on customer happiness has been the catalyst for the company\u2019s continued success amid a down market.\u00a0 According to Bob Scannell, an Independence homeowner who attended, \u201cThe Schell Brothers&#8217; mission was fulfilled again this evening:\u00a0 there are hundreds of happy homeowners who continue to have pride in Schell.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix padded-bottom\"><a class=\"img-left\"
