The Process

Owning your own land is an incredible advantage as a new construction homebuyer! You can focus your time on customizing a floorplan that will fit you and your land, and focus your budget on building the home itself.

We will help you determine the needs and requirements of your land, and help you narrow down the new home options to ones that are a good fit for you. Then we will help you determine the budget and loan options that are right for you. Once the floor plan design has been established, we'll finalize the plans with options and upgrades, and after construction begins you will schedule to make decisions about the flooring, cabinets, fixtures, etc.
