Steps To Build Your Custom Home
Step #1
Get Pre - Qualified
The first step in your journey is understanding your budget. Getting pre-qualified with a lender provides a clear financial foundation, giving you the confidence to move forward. We can connect you with trusted local lenders in South Texas who specialize in new construction financing.
Step #2

Whether you already own land or are searching for the perfect spot, we're here to help. Our team can evaluate a potential homesite for building suitability or guide you through our 'Build On Your Lot' program, ensuring your new home is perfectly placed in the Rio Grande Valley community of your choice.
Step #3
Design Your Home
This is where your vision truly takes shape. You’ll collaborate with our design team to create a one-of-a-kind floor plan that perfectly reflects your family’s lifestyle and needs. We'll refine every detail of your custom home design, from room flow to window placement, until it’s exactly right.
Step #4
Finalize Home Details
With the blueprint set, you'll work with our selections coordinator to choose the details that make a house a home. From cabinetry and countertops to flooring and fixtures, you'll select the high-quality materials and finishes that define your personal style.
Step #5
Loan Closing
Once all designs and selections are finalized and priced, you will proceed with your loan closing. This secures the financing for your project and officially gives us the green light to bring your new home to life.
