    Thanks to our cycle time, building a home with Inspired Homes doesn’t require any complicated financial transactions. The financing process is as straight-forward as if you’re buying an existing house:

    • Close on the house
    • Move in!
  • Q
    5. How does Inspired Homes deal with construction cost overruns?
    A

    The homebuilding price you agree to at the beginning of the process is the price you’ll pay at closing. It’s our job to come in on budget, and a big part of our commitment to exemplary customer service. If we don’t fulfill our end of the deal, we’ll take responsibility. We pride ourselves on making the new home buying process as worry free as possible. 

  • Q
    6. Does Inspired Homes offer a warranty?
    A

    We’re proud of our comprehensive, industry-leading warranty coverage. Each of our homes comes with a:

    • One-year warranty against defects in workmanship and materials
    • Two-year warranty against system defects
    • Ten-year warranty against structural defects

    Inspired Homes is a member of the 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty® (2-10 HBW), one of the strongest warranty companies in the U.S. To become part of the 2-10 HBW network, Inspired Homes underwent extensive screening of our experience and financials, as well as careful inspections of our construction process and subcontractors. At your closing, Inspired Homes will enroll your home in the warranty program.

  • Q
    7. How do I start working with Inspired Homes?
    A

    Come see us or contact us any time! Each of our communities is open daily, so you can tour model homes, get more information about floor plans and see available homesites. You can also reach out before your visit to make an appointment with our friendly, knowledgeable team of community managers. We’re excited to tell you more about bringing your dream home to life!

  • Q
    8. What if I’m already working with a Realtor?
    A

    Bring your Realtor along! A buyer’s agent makes the same sales commission on an Inspired Homes’ build job as they would when helping you buy an existing house. The same mindset applies to mortgage companies. We have a preferred lender program that we’ll tell you more about, or we’re happy to work with your lender.

We are so far very pleased with our decision to build with inspired homes. There are things that we plan on changing or replacing but that would come with any house. The home is absolutely beautiful and felt like home from day 1. Jessica and Doug and everyone else that we worked with were awesome and made the whole process fun and exciting!
