Being prepared for your first meeting with a custom home builder like Joyner Homes can make a big difference. Here are some tips to help you get ready:

1. Define Your Vision:

Take some time to consider what you want in your new home. Reflect on your current and future needs, lifestyle, location preferences, and design tastes. Make a list of must-have features and elements. Review our 23 customizable floor plans to get an idea of your preferred layout. Discuss all of these ideas with your spouse, children, and even seek advice and tips from friends or family who have experience with custom home building.

2. Gather Inspiration:

Explore home design magazines, websites like Pinterest and Houzz, or visit our photo gallery and blog for ideas. Collect and save photos, clippings, or links that showcase the designs, layouts, and features you love. This will help you communicate your vision effectively to your Joyner Homes New Home Specialist and Design Specialist.

3. Set a Budget:

Understand your budget and financial capacity. Get pre-approved with a local lender, or contact our office for a list of preferred lenders who have provided excellent service to our previous customers. Be ready to discuss your budget openly with your New Home Specialist, including any flexibility for upgrades or additional features.

4. Prepare Questions:

Write down any questions you have about the home-building process, costs, timelines, and design options. This will help you address all your concerns during the meeting. If you think of more questions afterward, our New Home Specialists are available by email, phone, or at the model home to assist you. Review some of our additional homeowner tips that we’ve gathered that may be useful both before and after the completion of your custom home!

5. Consider Your Timeline:

Think about your ideal move-in date and any important milestones or deadlines. Share this information with your New Home Specialist to help create a realistic project timeline.

By coming prepared with your ideas, budget, and questions, you can make the most of this initial meeting and set the stage for a successful home-building journey. At Joyner Homes, we believe that building a custom home should be a rewarding experience, given that it is often one of our customers’ largest investments and where they will spend much of their time.

Our New Home Specialists are dedicated and experienced, ensuring that every step of the process is tailored to your needs and preferences. Contact us today to schedule your first meeting and take the first step toward creating the home you’ve envisioned with Joyner Homes. We look forward to crafting a home that exceeds your expectations!
