If you have the budget and time to design and build your own home, why wouldn’t you? JoAnn Meier at RE/MAX First Choice has helped many clients find their perfect property for a custom home build in Waterloo, IL. These clients, by purchasing property for sale instead of searching for an already constructed home, get to enjoy some truly unique benefits.

Consider these benefits to buying a property for sale and decide if a custom build is the right option for you:

• Get Exactly What You Want: Close your eyes and picture your dream home. Does your current home have every feature that you wish you had? While it’s relatively easy to find real estate listings that suit your needs, it’s likely impossible to find one that has every detail you’d pick for your dream home. Choosing your parcel and building your custom home gives you the chance to get exactly what you want.
• Enjoy Modern Technology: Each passing year brings with it new technology for efficient and convenient homes. Whether it’s your HVAC system, insulation, renewable energy, or just a cool smart home system, your new place will enjoy those money-saving modern conveniences that older homes just don’t have.
• Focus on the Property: When you’re looking at houses for sale, you must take both the home and the lot itself into consideration. Even if a home is on a lot that’s perfect for you, if the home doesn’t suit your needs, you may need to pass it up. By looking at just the properties and knowing you can build your own house, you can find just the perfect lot for your home. This is particularly important because it is the one thing about your real estate investment that you can never change.

With the right real estate agent by your side, you can find the perfect property and negotiate the best possible price for it. As an Illinois native with over 31 years of experience, JoAnn Meier at RE/MAX First Choice can do that for you.
