Welcome to our Blog “On the Home Front”

Hot days and breezy nights; catching fireflies and splashing in the water. Summer has arrived in Suffolk. If you live here, you know how enjoyable it can be. If you’re not from this area, we hope you will come for a visit. No matter where you live in Hampton Roads, our hometown is easy to reach. What’s more, we have five fun ways to savor summer in Suffolk!

Why is The Sussex floor plan one of our favorites? With 2,984 square feet, this classic AB Homes design offers room, privacy, and communal gathering for all. Style and space come together in The Sussex. We love this floor plan, and our buyers do too! Featuring five bedrooms and three-and-half baths, this home has everything you would desire in harmonious living.

Recently, a buyer asked about the features we seek when buying land for new homes. Constructing new, custom-built homes in Suffolk and Isle of Wight County is our specialty. One of the attributes that our buyers like most is our inventory of beautiful, spacious lots. After they’ve selected a floor plan, we enjoy matching their home with one of our properties.

Single-Story versus Two-Story. Buying a house comes with big decisions, including whether it will be a single-story or two-story home. How do you know which is best? For those who are wavering, we have a few observations. Single-story homes with an open layout have some great advantages. For growing families seeking spacious living and privacy, a two-story home fits the bill.

Park your RV on your own property? That would be great! Are you ready to hit the road for a summer getaway? Even with travel restrictions lifting throughout the U.S., vacationing by RV is more appealing than ever. What better way to see the country than from the comfort and convenience of your own recreational vehicle? As more people flock towards RV ownership, the need for parking storage has increased. Find out how you can park your RV at home!

Those stories about so-called touchy relationships between home builders and agents? We haven’t experienced it. Real estate agents and builders benefit from working together since we all want the same thing: to place clients in their ideal homes. We enjoy working with you and your buyer to find the right property, the perfect floor plan, and customized touches to make their house the home of their dreams. Now more than ever, there are plenty of great reasons why custom-built homes are good for your buyers, as you will read.
