The choice to purchase a newly constructed home is generally one of the biggest decisions anyone can make.  However, once you locate the right builder, it can also be the most rewarding.

Locally owned, Tradition Homes is a local homebuilder based out of Greensboro, NC that is made up of a team of community professionals led by Van Smith, President and Jennifer Ball, Principal Broker & VP Sales & Marketing.  They are committed to putting their customers first and they proudly acknowledge, “Quality & Value ~ The Way It Should Be.”  As a result, their entire professional staff actively engages in the process to deliver the highest level of quality for the best value in every home they build.

It is no secret that personal relationships are the key to the Tradition Homes business.  The company prides itself on close, personal relationships that are long lasting.  Its agents and staff are passionate about helping others realize the dream of homeownership and are trained to assist the client with all aspects of the process – from contract to closing and long after.  Tradition Homes realizes that every homebuyer has unique and individual needs and takes the time upfront to understand what is important to their customers.

For example, when helping clients select specific features, finish materials, and even colors, it is important to consider the client’s present and future lifestyle, taking into account the household’s daily activities, hobbies, and work as well as the type of entertaining they plan to do.  They believe in providing quality and professional care by working alongside each homebuyer and offering assistance to ensure their happiness and contentment.  Referral sales and repeat business are proof of their dedication to buyers.

The key ingredient that makes this possible is Tradition Homes’ commitment to open and honest communication throughout the entire home buying process.  Taking it one step further, Tradition Homes has developed comprehensive and detailed Homeowner Manuals to assist buyers during and after the purchase of their home.  The information provides answers to many questions and prepares the client for each step of the new home experience, making this exciting time for the new homebuyer easier.  You can even find these manuals posted on their website, so individuals can preview them at their convenience.

Tradition Homes focuses on delivering quality and value which is highlighted by the relationships it has created with preferred industry related vendors, suppliers, and a close working arrangement with all area realtors who are welcome to represent their home buying clients.

Staying up to date with the latest and best enhancements in homebuilding has helped Tradition Homes take advantage of offering more for less.  With a goal to not only meet but exceed industry standards, each home must pass inspections performed by a third party quality assurance program.  The construction team at Tradition Homes is committed to quality craftsmanship, superior materials, and attention to detail, which again allows for building the highest quality home at the best possible price.

Currently, Tradition Homes has eight communities located in the Triad area.  The McConnell Community is located in the center of Kernersville off of Oakhurst Street.  With Kernersville’s continued enhancements and quality of growth in their downtown area, more people appreciate living in close proximity to downtown.  The McConnell Community is not only in walking distance of many of the Town’s wonderful shops, restaurants, and attractions but it is also located next to the town’s future greenway project. Its location offers easy access to Business 40, Hwy 66, and Hwy 150 so the community is attractive to anyone looking for easy commuting.

This townhome community offers six beautiful 2-story floor plans with garages.  There are two and three bedroom options as well as one or two car garages depending on the plan selected.  The square footage for each home can range from 1,267 to 1,973 square feet, creating spacious and open living areas where loft options are also offered. Prices range from $122,000 to $170,000 depending on size and amenity upgrades.

What is exciting about this conveniently located community is that it appeals to a wide range of homebuyers who all enjoy low maintenance living.  Tradition Homes has a combined focus on customer satisfaction, sustainability, and community partnerships.  Attention to detail is crucial, therefore they are committed to incorporating state of the art energy efficient appliances and materials which help homeowners save now and for the long haul.  Even the exterior of each new home is maintained by the Home Owners Association creating a further hassle free environment.  McConnell has a community pool as well which is a great place to relax or meet your neighbors.

Tradition Homes takes pride in its commitment to giving back and helping others in every community in which it builds.  It has volunteered with Habitat for Humanity and is active with local builder and realtor associations.

To add to the new homeowner’s peace of mind, Tradition Homes goes beyond the state’s builders warranty requirements by providing an additional 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty which offers the most comprehensive coverage for systems and is an industry-leading, insurance-backed, structural warranty for new construction.

In most cases, purchasing a new home from Tradition Homes takes only four months from the beginning of the process until you are ready to move in.  In addition, there is often existing new home inventory available where you can move in quicker as well as obtain some great move-in-package incentives.
