Build Your Next Home with Lacey
Building a New Home can be a overwhelming comparing prices, building specs, upgrade lists, cost estimates, floor plans, lot sets backs, lot sizes, seawalls, pools, flood zones, color selections, and payment terms.
​
I guide you through the process and share my cost saving tips along the way. Let Build your new home while building instant equity at the same time.
​
I have helped buyers in hundreds of new construction builds (and counting). And just when I think I have seen it all, the powers that be provide a new and interesting challenge.
​
Some challenges that could result in major expenses are:
-
Mangroves
-
Eagle zones
-
Burrowing Owls
-
Tortoises
-
Low lying lots
-
Lot clearing
-
Lots having Rock near Canal Edge (they have to blow it up with explosives to build seawall... but I don't think you want to pay extra for the fireworks show)
​
There are different types of builder: custom, semi-custom and production. Custom builders will allow more options in plan design, building specs, and colors selections.
