Driven by Passion, Fueled by Creativity
Many of you are familiar with our real estate company and the services we offer in the real estate business, however many of you are unaware that we also have a construction company, Cottonwood Development Company. Cottonwood builds unique custom homes which may not be for everyone, however if you are looking for an original unique home it may very well be the best choice for you. The philosophy at Cottonwood is that the originality of a custom home shouldn’t end after the design, from concept through completion; a Cottonwood built home matures and develops a distinct personality of its own. Cottonwood seeks out projects that create passion and enthusiasm within our company, colleagues and clients. They are genuinely excited about what they build.Building processes are structured to construct your home as efficiently and quickly as possible, however they don’t cut corners and are not just looking for the next home to build. They are looking for select opportunities that allow them to flex their “creative muscles” and inspire us all to dream up new ideas, processes and finishes. Yes, anyone can build a custom home; styles can be copies and materials are readily available to the public. But what makes a Cottonwood home unique is the intangible spirit it embodies-passion for their craft and a pursuit of the sublime. You will find this passion and artistry carved into every detail and finish on a Cottonwood home. Their goal is simple and determined-to achieve excellence for each and every client in both their craft and their customer service.

How to Pick a Real Estate Broker
A real estate broker is your eyes and ears in the home market. They help with the buying process, from negotiating with sellers all the way to the actual closing. However, not every broker is equal, some have niches they are better at, such as specializing in a certain area or market. So do your research, check websites and ask friends and family for recommendations and then consider these questions: How much experience does the broker have in their field? Years of experience can be beneficial however the enthusiasm of a new broker can’t be ignored.
Do they hold a Realtor certification? These professionals agree to abide by a higher standard of practice known as the REALTOR Code of Ethics.
Ask what the market conditions are like in their area.
How can they be contacted and during what hours, are they available on short notice and weekends? You never know when you may see a home that you just have to have a look at right then!
It is important to feel confident in the broker’s abilities, for the broker to be easy to talk to and get along with. Just remember hiring a broker instead of going it alone can save you both time & money in the long run, as well as they have a wealth of knowledge at their fingertips about the market that may not be readily available to the public.
