Community of Richmond new homes introduces new plan.
Spring is officially here, and if you’re not looking forward to all of the lawn care that comes with the season, then you need to check out the Richmond new homes at the Villas at Grey Oaks. This no maintenance community takes care of all the spring yard work for you. Plus, you get the added convenience of living in the highly sought-after Glen Allen area of Henrico County.
No maintenance services include lawn maintenance, seasonal treatment and aerating, irrigation, exterior painting, gutter cleaning, roof maintenance, snow removal and trash service. So, what will you do with all of your extra time? Well, you can enjoy the community’s excellent amenities including a sparkling swimming pool and tennis courts, or take an extended vacation this summer. Without the inconvenience of lawn work, you’ll now have the time to do all of those things you’ve been putting off! (more…)
New homes in Richmond perfectly crafted for your family.
So far we’ve disassociated ourselves from our used home so we can create fresh memories in the new homes in Richmond that we are buying. We’ve depersonalized the home to make sure it appeals to as many buyers as possible and we’ve de-cluttered the home and organized every space. We are officially more than half way to our goal of getting our used home ready for sale. Now we will focus our time on minor improvements with big payoffs.
Some very minor improvements that will pay off great dividends begin with repairs. The handle that has been sticking may be part of life for your family, but a red flag of “what else is wrong” for the potential buyer. Every opportunity to remove these potential objections should be taken as the reward will prove itself in the end. Wall repairs, paint touch up, window screen repairs and more will invoke feelings of quality to the buyer. Any possible repair should be addressed and completed prior to making a first impression. Statistics show that homes well groomed will command a better price and sell quicker than homes where allowances are made for the future homeowner to make repairs.(more…)
The next phase in getting ready for your Richmond new homes is to de-clutter. There are three main actions to de-cluttering. These actions are organize, store or dispose. We will start with dispose as it is the easiest to discuss. Though we don’t anticipate you will ever be featured on the show Hoarders, the concept to begin with is: if you have not used the item in question in the last year, then get rid of it. Items in this category range from the sweater Aunt Sally gave as a gift last year to the collection of teaspoons left in the box from the last move. Sifting through each item with care and thoughtful analysis will reveal if the item should stay or go.
The items that are too personal to discard should go into storage. You should store these items in a location outside of your home as removing items will help. Removing unneeded items to a self-storage unit or to a portable storage unit will help the home feel open and accommodating to the prospective buyer who can now visualize their items in that same space. Removing items to storage will also allow more space to organize. Potential buyers are going to look in every nook possible of the home to ensure they are not missing any detail. Organizing closets, cabinets and especially the kitchen will ensure the potential buyer gives your home the thumbs up it needs so you can move into your new Boone home.(more…)
Those ready to sell their current houses so that they can buy Richmond new homes should know that the best time to sell a used home is in the spring after the winter’s hibernation. Home sales in general tend to be more active in the spring, and people are more likely to be optimistic about buying. As you consider your move into a new home, you should consider what will be necessary to prepare your used home for someone else’s enjoyment.
The preparation to leave your home could be difficult, as you have lived in a place filled with memories of events which will soon be in the care of another person. A chapter in life will be left behind, only to open a new chapter with more life to experience. For a successful transition, you need to first and foremost believe the next chapter in your life will be filled with just as many experiences and wonderful memories as the last. As you anticipate the beginning of a new set of experiences, you may need to disassociate yourself with your home and let go of the past. Not because you want to forget life’s best memories, but because you are anticipating new ones. (more…)

As the days of winter linger and the New Year grows from infancy into the toddler stage, it feels right to discuss summer. Summer is right around the corner, and it is time to think and plan vacations as well as who is going to maintain the home while you’re relaxing with a mixed drink in the Caribbean sun. While the thoughts of sunsets, relaxing music and sun waft through your subconscious, the need for someone to mow the grass, clean the gutters and touch up the exterior paint on the house captivate the forefront. Unless – you live in one of our no maintenance neighborhoods of Richmond new homes, then all you have to do is plan for the sunset on the beach. Not a bad trade off.
We have five no maintenance communities located throughout the Richmond area. These neighborhoods are designed for the professional who enjoys a single-family home and yard but doesn’t want to spend time on home maintenance. (more…)

Boone Homes Continues to Improve Building Standards
Every New Year’s resolution is challenged heavily in week three and four. Resolve is tested and determination is harassed. Each step of the resolution becomes more difficult with each passing moment. As one of the top builders of luxury homes in Richmond, we have made some resolutions this coming year. Here is one of them:
Allow our experience to guide us. Today is different from yesterday in that stormy waters of technology are still being charted. Our experience in building new homes in the Richmond area has provided us with a wealth of knowledge and understanding for what buyers see as essential when considering a new luxury home. Every step of our process displays the length of Boone Homes experience in building new luxury homes. This year is not a year of rebuilding, but of recalibration. A year in which we use the tools we became familiar with last year and calibrate them into perfect precision. Our reward? So far in 2012, our reward has been the best sales in January for the last several years.
What are some of those tools we have recalibrated? We have chosen to recalibrate the tool that would bring the best results for the buyers of our luxury Richmond new homes. We have recalibrated our High Performance Homes. Each home is now 38 to 45 percent more energy efficient when it comes to heating and cooling the home. This brag is no small task, and requires daily attention to methodology and detail.(more…)
