5 Buyers Building 5 Homes in Charlottesville

5 Buyers Building 5 Homes in Charlottesville

As 2015 starts, I’m representing five buyers who are building four houses with four different builders, with each house currently at different stages of construction, ranging from not-yet-fully-designed to just under roof and dry.

Each buyer is different as each builder is different. But each buyer is building a home and each builder is seeking to deliver a product that the buyers will appreciate, value, and hopefully love for many years.

I’m likely to write about each of these to varying degrees, but thought today was a good time to revisit the words of a client who built a new home three years ago in Charlottesville’s urban ring:

From the perspective of the rest of the world: one random hole in the ground. For our family on February 8, 2012: the greatest looking slice of earth we have ever seen!!!

I value the relationships I have with each of these builders, and these relationships  benefit my clients, in ways I have and can enumerate with clients. Charlottesville is a small town; relationships matter.

Representing buyer clients who are building new homes is fun.

Helping my clients make good decisions that will likely impact the rest of their lives … truly a humbling proposition.
