Finding a place to build your dream home will require a great deal of thought for your needs today and into the future.

Site Selection

Selecting a site on which to build your home is more than just about the old real estate adage of location, location, location. A home is more than a piece of merchandise. Unless you’re an investor in the market and plan to build, sell and move on, finding the ideal place to build and live is an important decision for so many reasons. Creating a place to call home where you may want to raise a family or live close to family and friends requires much thought and research to ensure your home will be somewhere you’ll want to spend many happy years.

When looking for the ideal site, there are some questions you need to ask yourself before you take the final step to secure your piece of paradise.
