If you don't sell homes, why are you doing this?

Recent advancements in new home construction methods and related technologies make the homes built today far superior to homes built just 10 years ago. Today's homes are more structurally sound, offer more open, livable floor plans and because everything is brand new and more efficient, they save owners significant amounts of money and precious personal time.

What are the primary reasons why I should consider new vs. existing?

• Construction Quality: modern construction methods and technology mean a more structurally sound home, and the warranty that back a newly-built home means more peace of mind for you and your family.
• Lower Cost of Ownership: more often than not, when you buy an existing home you are buying an extensive to-do list that will likely cost significant money as well as valuable personal time. New homes are "new", so you can move in and start living the life you want rather than fixing up inherited problems from previous owners.
• Modern Floor Plans & Design: Today's homes are designed and thoughtfully planned for the needs of today's families. From open floor plans, to higher ceilings, to more storage space, new homes are built to suit your family.
• Energy Efficiency: Today's homes are built to standards that make them far more efficient than homes built just 5 years ago. This means new homes are better for the environment and more energy efficient, which can lower your bills and possibly your taxes
