Looking at new homes?

Why choose a Custom Home Builder versus 

Production Home Builder

In today’s world, there is a huge misconception that most families cannot afford a custom home.

Even though it is one of the biggest investments in their lifetime, they talk themselves out of the idea due to fear. Fear of the unknown or financial insecurities without doing any research.

So many convince themselves that a custom home is too expensive to build or they feel that as an average consumer, they cannot afford a 4,500 square foot home at $150 a square foot.  

You decided to sacrifice your desire to build a custom home based off the perception, that a custom home is too expensive.  

That is not the case and I will arm you with the facts that reveal quite the opposite. You should hire a custom builder to build your home and the cost will justify the return.   

Never have I heard a client say, “I am buying a new home and I am going to let the builder dictate every aspect of the construction of our home.”

Nor, do I hear roaring approval from new buyers excited about moving into a cookie cutter community where production builders cram 300 houses on 78 acres off the expressway.

This house will not have your personal touch. It will not have the unique features that you wanted for your home. And more and more families are seeing poor craftsmanship with production builders, eventually fighting with the warranty department. Production builders have millions in legal fees set aside for these issues. Read article: New Home Heartbreak.

Your design ideas are important. Your input is necessary. It is a must for our clients looking to build their dream home. It might be the wraparound porch that you remember from your grandmother’s home and you always wanted to build your home with this same porch. Don’t you want to personalize your new home?

Move into a production built house, you won’t be able to participate in the design of your home or have input into the construction of your home. And that is shame. It is your home and truth be told, you can choose your floor plan and it can be built within your budget.

A production home is just that. It is one of many homes produced for a specific community. Sure, there may be five to eight floor plans available from a production builder in these neighborhoods at your price point. But, did you find your ideal floor plan? Will your house sit on an ideal lot?

Production builders buy large parcels of land with the intention of building as many homes that they are allowed to construct on for each parcel.

And, you can expect a Homeowner’s Association to be organized for your community in any production built neighborhood where you will be required to pay a monthly fee and adhere to their guidelines.   

Keep in mind, the HOA’s main objective is to protect the structural integrity of the community and maintain the entrance and common areas for the neighborhood. All well and good, but some restrictions may seem as unnecessary or too invasive.   

Many folks have told me some horror stories from dealings with their HOA and every tale ends with two negative factors, expensive fees and HOA board of director’s egos. 

Not only can you build a custom home, it is within your budget to have your dream home.
