D.R. Horton
For one of the biggest purchases of your life, you’re going to expect a lot. When you visit D.R. Horton, Inc., you can expect to be impressed.
At D.R. Horton, America’s Builder, we realize that many things besides location are important to our customers. For more than 30 years, our homes have been designed and built with a focus on quality and value, with livable floor plans, energy-efficient features, home warranties … and the list goes on.
What are some factors to consider as you select your new home? Convenient location; variety of neighborhoods; innovative home design, including diversity, choice and efficiency of floor plans; affordable prices; warranties; and knowledgeable and helpful salespeople are all very important, of course. And the financial strength of the company is crucial.
Is the Homebuilder Stable and Reputable?We believe the financial strength of the homebuilding company is a critical concern, especially in today’s uncertain economic environment. When determining D.R. Horton’s ability to “be there for you,” both during the construction process and after you’ve closed on your new home, consider this: D.R. Horton, a publicly traded company (NYSE: DHI) founded in 1978, has delivered more than 400,000 homes to buyers across the United States. For the past eight years, D.R. Horton has been the country’s leading national homebuilder, both in the number of homes delivered to customers, and in company financial stability.
Does the builder offer a variety of neighborhood locations? Are they convenient?“We’re everywhere!” says Marisa Andre, salesperson for D.R. Horton’s Brookdale community. “We offer a selection of neighborhoods throughout the area, whereas other builders cannot. Our company’s stability, which has given us the capacity to grow and expand in this tough economy, really speaks for itself. All of which makes us stand out as knowing what we are doing.”
Since January 2009, D.R. Horton’s Charleston-area presence has grown from just four neighborhoods to 14 in the current market. Evenly distributed throughout Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties, our neighborhood choices feature single-family homes as well as townhomes, all offering a wide selection of floor plans. You will find our neighborhoods are close to schools, shopping and other nearby services, affording easy access to major highways and thoroughfares. Some are located within master-planned communities with a full complement of
amenities, while others are smaller and more intimate.
Does the builder offer a selection of livable floor plans? Are they innovative? Reasonably priced?D.R. Horton’s marketwide selection of floor plans and available features will amaze you. While studying the marketplace, we realized that builders had become too plain in their designs. D.R. Horton quickly adapted to rise above the ordinary, by designing a new product line of homes that outshine the typical builders’ offerings and are ideal for both move-up and move-down buyers. In these homes you’ll find more hardwood floors, more solid-surface counters, more crown molding and other finely appointed details, along with exteriors that feature distinctive elements such as architectural shingles, fiber cement siding, double-door garages, and raised slab foundations.
“We’re deviating from the typical ‘national builder’ look,” notes Josh Meier, sales & marketing manager of D.R. Horton’s Charleston division. “We really stand out from other builders …just as your home should stand out from other homes. We study the trends, listen to our customers, and design homes that are not only distinctive on the outside, but truly innovative and functional on the inside. Our newest neighborhoods feature our whole new line of designs that demonstrate the company’s architectural sophistication, combining elegance with purpose.”
Whether you choose a townhome or a single-family residence, you’ll love the feel of a D.R. Horton home. Spacious family rooms, dining rooms, and living rooms appear even larger by the way they connect with and open up to adjoining rooms. The kitchens — often the focal point of a home — are designed to be as functional as they are beautiful. The living areas are both impressive
and inviting. And when you cross the threshold of your master bedroom, you close the door on the world and enter a comfortable privacy zone.
“We place a tremendous emphasis on our homes’ design and construction.” says Kevin Tripler, salesperson for D.R. Horton’s University Park community. “Throughout the Charleston area,
we have an array of layouts to choose from, including ones with first-floor masters, dual master plans, versatile lofts or bonus areas. Good-size rooms. Very open. And our options are fantastic.
You really need to walk one of our homes to appreciate the detail difference.”
“We’re changing the face of Charleston, redefining our space,” adds Meier. “The style is more Craftsman, with architecturally appealing, earthy, updated living spaces for today’s buyers. All of
our designs were created to provide big value. More functional. More efficient. And our new exteriors’ curb appeal is stunning.”
Depending on the neighborhood, you can choose from a variety of exterior designs of homes ranging in size from approximately 940 sq. ft. to more than 4100 sq. ft., and featuring from 3 to 7 bedrooms, with numerous options. Prices in our neighborhoods range from $99,900 to over $300,000.
Is the builder committed to you and your satisfaction?At D.R. Horton, our customers mean everything to us. Our unparalleled customer service is fully demonstrated from the minute you walk through our door. From the beginning of the construction process to the minute you move in, you’ll find a hands-on approach to help our homebuyers understand from top to bottom what they are purchasing. And, every D.R. Horton home comes with a 2-10 Homeowners warranty.
“It’s our level of commitment that makes the difference,” says Peggy Calabrese, salesperson for D.R. Horton’s Sunnyfield community. “Our customer commitment level is more than simply part of a process — it’s a relationship. The more you speak to our salespeople, the more you feel that we are there for you. We’ll keep you informed.”
Because a home is one of the largest purchases you’ll ever make, D.R. Horton wants to be there with you every step of the way. Quality and value are standard in every home we build. So is our commitment: To listen. To meet expectations. To impress.
