Mark Downing with CornerStone Homes and I sat down recently to discuss new home construction. We agreed we are both seeing a lot more people finding a great buy on lots and needing to find a builder. I thought it might be helpful to share some tips for finding a great builder you can trust.
1- Ask family, friends, coworkers or your real estate agent for a recommendation.
2- Make sure the builder has a permanent business location and a good reputation with local banks and suppliers.
3- Ask to speak with previous customers.
4- Make sure you will enjoy working with the builder. You will be in close contact with them throughout the construction process.
5- Be cautious of unusually low-priced bids. (more…)
I had an opportunity to visit with Mark Downing from CornerStone Homes recently and thought you might enjoy his comments on the video above. We talked about the changes we are seeing in the new home industry.
When the real estate industry was booming, it was not easy to find a desirable lot in a great community at an affordable price. Today there are many lots available and the prices are amazingly affordable. Right now in the King & Bear we have 10 bank owned lots available that include a membership to the King & Bear and Slammer & Squire golf courses. We also have Developer lots available with memberships and a few lots owned by builders that could be purchased. (more…)
Last week Mark Downing with CornerStone Homes, who is one of our favorite builders to work with, took us on a tour of some of the new construction sites in our St. Augustine golf course community. CornerStone Homes has built many homes in St. Johns County communities like Nocatee, Murabella, and World Golf Village. They are currently building two custom homes on beautiful lots in GroveWood and Waterbury by the Links. Mark talked about a few of the things that sets CornerStone Homes apart and also told us a little bit about our new World Golf Village neighbors.
The gorgeous home that backs up to the preserve in GroveWood will be occupied by a physician retiring from the northeast. The homebuyer has a friend in The Village and loves to play golf so the King & Bear and Slammer & Squire were huge selling points for his decision to relocate to the Neighborhoods of World Golf Village. CornerStone’s other new construction project is a custom home in Waterbury by the Links. The buyer is relocating to our gated community from Miami. The spectacular home is situated on the King & Bear golf course. (more…)
Developers Jim and Sherry Davidson and Hillman Properties shared a vision of a unique residential community with world-class amenities, retail shops and office space in a natural North Florida setting. The Neighborhoods of World Golf Village is the beautiful result.
