At Joyner Homes, we believe building a custom home should be simple and fun! Your first meeting with Joyner Homes and one of our New Home Specialist is an exciting step in the journey, and coming prepared can help make the process even smoother. This is your opportunity to explore why building with Joyner Homes is the right choice for you. Here’s how to get the most out of your initial meeting:
What to Bring to Your First Meeting
✔ Ideas & Inspiration – Bring photos, Pinterest boards, or notes about the styles, layouts, and features you love.
✔ A List of Must-Haves & Nice-to-Haves – Consider your top priorities, such as square footage, number of bedrooms, or specific design elements.
✔ A Preferred Location – If you already have a lot, great! If not, we can discuss available options that fit your needs. Check out more information about building On Your Lot or on a homesite in one of our JH Neighborhoods. If you are still searching for land, let us help! You can sign up for our weekly Land Alert emails.
✔ A Realistic Budget – Having an idea of what you’re comfortable spending will help guide your home’s design and features.
✔ Financing Plan – If you've already spoken with a lender, bring any pre-approval details. If not, no worries! We have a list of trusted lenders who specialize in financing new home construction.
✔ Decision-Makers – If you’re building with a partner or other family members, having discussions beforehand about preferences, needs/wants, and budget will help move the process forward more efficiently.
Questions to Think About Before Your Meeting
- What do I love about my current home? What do I want to change?
- Have I reviewed Joyner Homes' available floor plans and neighborhoods?
- What features are essential for my lifestyle (home office, mudroom, large kitchen, etc.)?
- What is my timeline for building and moving in?
- Do I need space for future expansion or aging-in-place considerations?
We understand that building a home comes with many questions, and we’re here to help! During your first meeting, we’ll take the time to dive deep and address all of your concerns. In the meantime, take a look at some of our Frequently Asked Questions.
Why Preparation Matters
The more prepared you are, the easier it is for everyone to be on the same page and move forward with confidence. Your first meeting is all about discovery—we want to learn about you, your family, and your vision while showing you how Joyner Homes can bring your custom home dreams to life. Arriving with ideas, plans, and a general understanding of your financing options helps streamline the process and ensures a productive conversation and planning.
