How to Shop for a Custom Home in Northern Virginia

There are a number of steps involved in looking for a home, starting with online searches, finding the right realtor, viewing properties, securing financing, and more. Along this journey, many soon-to-be homeowners soon discover the harsh reality of shopping for a home on the open market: no single home has everything you want—but with such a huge financial investment, why should you have to compromise?

Sekas Homes is Northern Virginia’s premier custom home builder. With us, there is no such thing as compromise. We can help you create a home that perfectly suits your exacting standards so that you adore your home for years to come.

Is A Custom Home The Right Choice For You?

Buying a home, like any other great adventure, is full of decisions which influence the direction your journey will take. One of the biggest choices you’ll need to make is whether to opt for new construction or a pre-owned home. You should know that buying a pre-owned home often comes with the following risks:

  • Shoddy workmanship. Unless you’re able to peek behind the walls, you don’t know what’s there. The cost of renovations can quickly double or triple if you need to upgrade or replace plumbing or wiring. Each custom home by Sekas Homes is built to the highest standards for quality, craftsmanship, and design.
  • Lifestyle. If the house requires renovating, consider: are you willing to live in a construction zone? Be realistic in your expectations of how long renovations will take and how your family will function during the process.
  • Compromise. Even a recently renovated home is based on someone else’s design choices. With a custom home, you can make all those choices yourself.
