🌿🐴 Dreaming of 10 Acres, a Custom Home, and Room for Your Animals? 🏡

One of the most common questions we’re hearing from buyers right now is: “Can I find around 10 acres where I can build my dream home, have horses or other animals, and enjoy a little more space?”

The answer is YES — but finding the right land takes more than just finding the right acreage!

From zoning and septic requirements to building restrictions and whether horses or other livestock are permitted, there are important things to understand before purchasing land.

That’s where Hooves and Homes Realty comes in! 🐎

Whether you’re dreaming of a small hobby farm, an equestrian property, or simply more land and privacy, Cori and I would love to help you explore your options!

📞 Reach out to schedule a consultation. Let’s talk about your vision, answer your questions, and help you take the first steps toward making it a reality!

Building a New Home?
There’s More to It Than Picking Your Floor Plan!

One of the best parts of working with new construction buyers is watching their home come to life! But there’s a lot to understand before signing that builder contract. Here are a few things every buyer should ask about:

💰 Contribution Fees & HOA Dues:
Ask about one-time capital contribution fees, HOA initiation fees, and ongoing community dues.

📋 Administrative Fees & Closing Costs: Understand builder fees, attorney fees, and other expenses so you can budget accordingly.

🎁 Builder Incentives:
Special financing, closing cost assistance, and upgrades can be great perks! Just be sure to understand the requirements, restrictions, and fine print.

🔍 Inspections Matter!
A brand-new home still needs a thorough inspection. We encourage our buyers to consider independent inspections, including pre-drywall and final inspections.

⚡ Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing (MEP):
Before drywall goes up, it's an important time to review accessible components, confirm planned features, and address questions with the builder.

🏗️ Stay Involved!
Construction timelines can change, questions come up, and details matter. That's why we make site visits, monitor progress, communicate with the builder's team, and help our buyers navigate the process from contract to closing.

New construction is exciting, but having someone in your corner who knows what questions to ask can make all the difference!

Thinking about building in the Triangle? Let's talk!
