Your Ideal Match Awaits
Our goal is to unite Sellers with the right types of Buyers to match the Seller’s terms – price, timeframe, unique requirements – by providing the highest quality Buyer pool for Sellers.
We have “matched” over 500 new home buyers with lot sellers in the past 10 years, to the tune of 40 to 60 projects per year. Those sellers must be happy!
Our team has amassed a database of nearly 10,000 and growing potential new home buyers over the past 15 years.
AND, we know how to maximize the value of your property to builders and new construction buyers. We know what you may not in this market space.
PLUS, we don’t ask sellers to pay any Commissions.
