Our My Space Options allows you to dictate how you'd like to make use of your square footage. Perhaps you want a home office, or a place to work out. Maybe you'd prefer an extra bedroom in lieu of a den. You just tell us what makes sense for you and your family, and we'll make it happen.
 

My Space Options

Personal Space Options empower you to truly customize your home. That means that you have the option to request structural changes. If you want an extra closet, let us know.

Tips for Reducing Your Energy Bill This Summer

When you buy a True Home, you know that you're getting a home that is automatically 40% more energy efficient than an existing home. But if you're looking to save even more money and more energy during the hot North Carolina summers, there are easy ways to do so. Here are five ways you can conserve energy and money this summer even as temperatures increase.

1. Turn Off the Daytime Lights
   With extended daylight hours, you're offered the opportunity to let the natural sunlight fill your home until later in the evening. For extra savings, make sure your blinds are open until the sun goes down. Turning off all lights during the day will keep your home cool, and help you save on your electricity bill. 
   
   
2. Set Your AC on Energy Saver Option
   Using the energy saving option on your air conditioner rather than turning your air conditioner on when you're home and off while you're gone, will save you money on your electricity bill. It works by keeping your home cool while you're not home. The reason is simple. When you turn your air conditioner off when you leave for work, your house warms up. The air conditioner must work extra hard then when you return, to cool the house down. By keeping your air conditioner set on the energy saving mode, the house remains cool, so that you don't have to expend extra energy cooling it down when you get home. 
   
   
3. Give Fans a Whirl
   Using fans to keep cool in the summer will pay off when it comes to your electric bill. Ceiling fans in particular, help many homeowners to avoid using their air conditioners in the summer. 
   
   
4. Forgo The Dryer
   Your clothes dryer may actually use the greatest amount of energy of all of your appliances. That's not to mention the fact that using them generates hot air, which then warms your house. This summer, take advantage of the extended daylight hours and opt for line drying your close. You'll be glad you did when your energy bill comes. 

True Homes are 40% more energy efficient than existing homes. With our True Green philosophy, we are setting the eco-friendly standard as the largest builder of new homes in North Carolina. For more information on how we help you to help the environment, and realize energy savings contact us today at www.truehomeusa.com or call 704-271-1191.

Selling Your Home? Tips for DIY Home Staging

If you're planning to sell your home this summer, regardless of whether you'll sell it yourself, or utilize the expertise of a REALTOR®, you'll need to showcase your home in its best possible light. Sprucing up your home for potential buyers is known as home staging. Staging can be done to both the exterior and interior of your home, and while there are professional home stagers, many people prefer to do it themselves.

Here are five DIY ways to stage your home to attract potential buyers.

1. Store, De-Clutter, and Simplify.
   Clutter in a home detracts from the home's inherent attributes. From items left lying around to a poorly organized pantry, messy closets and cluttered cupboards; when it comes to home staging, less is truly more. Pack up extra pots, pans, clothes, books and store them for the time being. The same goes for extra furniture. Don't let a cluttered living space detract from the home's natural beauty.
   
   
2. Let There Be Light
   Make the most of your home's windows and views, while also ensuring your home looks like and bright. Heavy curtains or blinds drawn inside your home will make your home appear dark, and often smaller. Open all blinds and curtains (making sure the windows and sills are clean), to give your home an airy and spacious feel. 
   
   
3. Clean and clean again
   Chances are, if you've been looking for a new home, you've seen homes that are extraordinarily clean, and those that are not. Chances are even greater that a messy or dirty home didn't exactly make your heart flutter. Clean homes show that the home has been cared for, and home buyers want a well maintained home. 
   
   
   If you don't have the time or inclination to clean your home yourself, it's probably worth the investment to have professionals come and clean the house. Remember that you're trying to show the house in its best possible light, so cleanliness is of utmost importance. 
   
   
4. Showcase Storage Space
   Potential buyers need to know that there is enough room in your home to store all of their personal items. Organizing your closets and storage areas is one way to ensure that they can see how much space your home has to offer. That's why it's also smart to minimize the number of items in your kitchen cabinets, pantry, and coat closets. Store items you won't need for the next several weeks, so that potential buyers can accurately assess the amount of storage in your home. 
   
   
5. Add a Bit of Loveliness
   Subtle touches of color and pleasant smells can help make your rooms "pop." Consider scented candles in your bathrooms. Add a fresh fruit bowl to your dining room table. Leave some potpourri in a pretty bowl near your front door. Put a healthy green plant on your front porch. A little effort to excite the senses will go a long way. 

Summer is the perfect time to sell your home and buy a new home. True Homes are available in dozens of communities throughout North Carolina. True Homes are energy efficient, and made with only the finest quality products. For information on buying a True Home this summer contact us today at www.truehomeusa.com or call 704-271-1191.

Selling Your Home in Spring: Tips for Maximizing Curb Appeal

Spring typically marks the start of real estate season with people looking to sell their homes to upsize, upgrade, or downsize.  If you’re looking to sell your home this spring, it’s important to remember that first impressions can be lasting impressions.

That’s why it’s so important that when prospective buyers see your home; their first impression is one of awe.  However, you don’t need to spend a fortune to maximize your home’s curb appeal.  Here are 5 ways to spruce up your home’s exterior, to bring in the best offers you can.

1. Clean up the Hardware
Your door knob, any attached mailboxes, and light fixtures ought to be clean, and damage free.  If cleaning them thoroughly doesn’t make them shine; invest in new pieces.  The last thing you want is a rusty door knob turning off a potential buyer.

2. Brighten Up The Place
To make your home appear welcoming, make sure the front door has a pop of color, by refreshing the paint.  The clean and cheerful entrance will serve to endear potential buyers to what lies inside.  (On the contrary, a drab, dull front door may dissuade those from driving by your home from wanting to even see the interior).

3. Cover Up Dead Areas of the Lawn
Big trees lead to big shade, which can leave dead areas around your lawn.  But when you have decided to put your home up for sale (perhaps to buy a True Home), you don’t want dead grass detracting from your home’s attractiveness.  Mulch around the base of large trees can be an easy solution to a lackluster lawn.

4. Spruce Up The Yard
A little pruning goes a long way, and bit of planting goes even further.  Weed flower beds, trim back overgrown shrubs, and plant a few extra flowers to showcase not only the home itself but the lot it sits on.

5. Wash Patios, Driveways & Walkways
Pressure washing your patio, front porch, driveway and walkways will give your home an overall tidy appearance.  Washing away stains and mildew will help your home to look shiny and clean to buyers.

At True Homes, our goal is to provide you with the house of your dreams.  As the largest builder of new homes in greater Charlotte, NC; we can help you achieve a comfortable, affordable and environmentally friendly home for your family.  To speak with a sales representative about your options today, visit www.truehomeusa.com or call 704-271-1191.

Why Indoor Air Quality Is Important To Your Family's Health

Even though you may feel as if you’re family is always on the go, the average American spends more than half their life indoors. Whether it’s sleeping, eating, or simply enjoying quality time with one another, the air that you’re breathing inside your home has a major impact on your overall health. As leaders in building green, family friendly homes in Charlotte, North Carolina, True Homes would like to share a few helpful tips for how to further improve the air quality in your new home.

Learn About Pollutants

Have you ever noticed your child sneezing when they aren’t sick? Or maybe

you’ve heard complaints of sore eyes, headaches, and an itchy throat without being able to pinpoint a cause? The issue at hand could very well be a result of poor indoor air quality and pollutants affecting your health. Pollutants like radon, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen dioxide could be seeping into your home without you ever knowing, as they are all colorless and odorless gasses that can wreak havoc on your health. To make sure you’re not exposing your loved ones to such harsh pollutants, it’s a great idea to purchase home alarms that can detect the gasses mentioned above as well as air purifiers.

Improving Your Air

One of the best ways to improve the air quality in your home is to pinpoint the source of pollution and control or reduce the emissions which can be accomplished in a few easy ways, including:

a. Ventilation
By increasing the amount of fresh and healthy air brought into your home, you can help dilute and remove any negative indoor pollutants. To accomplish this, try opening your windows for a couple of extra hours each day. Of course, if you live in an urban environment, or next to a busy roadway, the outdoor air may not be any better than your indoor air. Thus, you need to take additional measures to improve your home’s overall indoor air quality.

b. Filter Changes
Even if you have green appliances in your home, heaters and air conditioners

are still known to trap a ton of dust and debris. To ensure the best air quality in your home, make sure to check and change your air conditioning and heater filter on a regular basis. Air filters are graded on a system known as MERV, which stands for Minimum Efficiency Rating Value. The higher the MERV rating, the more efficient a filter is at removing particles. While you may think to install the highest rated filter possible, these filters can be prohibitively expensive and your system may not even be able to handle pulling air through them. Thus, you should look for air filters with a MERV rating between 8 and 12.

c. Humidity Adjustments
Did you know that too much humidity in your home can cause mold? If you’re beginning to notice a humid environment inside your house, try purchasing a dehumidifier to run in the large family areas of your home.

d. Air Purifiers
Air purifiers can significantly enhance the overall air quality inside your home. Many filters are equipped with High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters that can remove the smallest particles suspended in the air. Higher end models may also include activated carbon to remove unwanted odors from the air, or UV lights that kill any bacteria and germs inside your home. Air purifiers are graded according to their CADR rating, which measures the amount of air they can purify in a given time. The higher the CADR rating, the more efficient the filter is at circulating air. Air purifiers can be expensive, so when considering a particular model you should be mindful of how expensive and how often filters need to be changed. You should also look for filters that offer the highest CADR rating/dollar.

Five Things to Ask When Purchasing a New Family Home

Purchasing a new family home can cause a rush of emotions and leave you with more questions. At True Homes in Charlotte, we understand the importance of helping our future residents prepare for purchasing their new home by laying out some of the most important questions to ask to ensure you make the best decision for you and your family.

1. Does My New Home Come With A Warranty?

Warranties offer the added security of knowing that systems, built in appliances, and fixtures in your new home will be covered after the sale is complete. Home warranties benefit both buyers and sellers by protecting them from surprise repair costs that are not covered by standard homeowner's insurance policies. Home warranty coverages can vary significantly depending on the home and builder, so it's important to review the specific policy of the home you’re considering.

2. What’s The Neighborhood Like?

It's important to know as much about your new surroundings as you can since you’ll be spending a large portion of your life there. Find out as much as you can about crime in the area, noisy roads nearby, schools, and hazards such as an area being prone to flooding.  Find out the state of your neighborhood, such as whether it’s "up and coming" or maturing.  You should add an extra layer of inquiry if you have or are expecting to have children, since finding a safe area for a child to grow up in should be just as important as the house itself.   

3. Is It Energy Efficient?

If owning an energy efficient home is important to you, it’s crucial to find out if the home you’re considering purchasing was built with eco-friendly products. This is best achieved by speaking directly with the builder so that you can be assured that your potential home is everything you’ve been looking for—inside and out. Often, new homes come with energy efficiency ratings that allow you to easily compare the projected cost of operating one home over another. You may not understand all the ratings for insulation and other building materials, but you will understand how they affect your bottom line. Be sure to pick the option that’s best for you.

4. Are Current Residents Happy?

Making sure current residents are happy and continue to stay happy with their neighborhood is extremely important, as you one day may very well feel just the same as they do. As you’re visiting potential homes, make it a point to meet your potential neighbors and simply ask, “How do you like your home.” They may also be able to provide you with helpful tips and advice to make your new home as comfortable as it can be.

5. Are There Any Neighborhood Amenities?

Though this might not be your first thought, asking in advance about the various neighborhood amenities offered will allow you to decide whether or not the home you’re considering is the perfect fit for you and your loved ones. This is also a great question to use as a deciding factor if you’re stuck between two otherwise similar homes.

As Charlotte’s largest new home builder, True Homes is committed to help you find the perfect home for you and your growing family.

Five Eco-Friendly Landscaping Ideas That Will Make Your Home Look Great

In an ever-growing environmentally conscious society, True Homes in Charlotte, North Carolina understands the importance of helping our residents live the life they’ve always imagined—a comfortable, delightful, and sustainable existence. Since True Homes already provides you with superb indoor air quality, lowered VOC’s, energy efficiency, and plenty of natural lighting in your home, what’s the next step in making your home sustainable? The answer is simple: go outside!

1. Reduce Harmful Garden Chemicals
One of the biggest mistakes that individuals make in their gardens today is adding unnecessary chemicals to the soil. Before using harsh fertilizers, it’s important to have your soil tested. A soil test will tell you which, if any, nutrients and chemicals it is lacking. By doing this in advance, you’ll be reducing the amount of fertilizers and pesticides in your garden, improving the water and air quality in your area for all living things. Also, you should consider using organic fertilizers, such as specialized manures and compost. These can help enrich your soil while naturally inhibiting the growth of weeds.

2. Build A Fence—Of Life!
Instead of opting for a backyard or garden fence made of plastic, metal, or wood, try planting small trees or bushes to create a natural fence. Not only does this add an element of uniqueness to your backyard or garden, but is also very eco-friendly. Additionally, you can grow hedges much taller than you could feasibly build a fence, which can provide you with increased privacy over time.

3. Select Plants Native To Your Geographic Region
Selecting plants native to your area makes it easier to maintain them throughout the year. Some plants are more sensitive to extreme climate changes, and are not feasible for areas that experience cold winters like Charlotte. While you can certainly grow more exotic plants in your garden, they will require a lot more work, especially during the winter.

4. Make A Rain Barrel
Rain barrels are a great way to collect rainwater that you can reuse to water your garden later on. Making a rain barrel is a great idea to help minimize the amount of excess water you’re using and ensures that your plants are being soaked with all-natural rain that hasn’t been chemically treated. Reusing rainwater can also lower your water bill, which gives you more money to grow your garden or pursue other home improvement projects.

5. Recycle, Recycle, Recycle!
If you’re considering building a fence or deck in your outdoor area, consider using recycled materials or reusing concrete pieces or bricks. Repurposing materials helps eliminates the need for additional wood and adds a vintage touch to your new project.

We can help you achieve a comfortable, affordable, and environmentally friendly home for you and your family.

Tips for an Easy and Successful Family Move

When making a move to a new neighborhood, there are a multitude of uncertainties that come with being in unfamiliar territory. There are feelings of uneasiness, stress, and even thoughts of whether or not you’ve made the right choice. To help ease in the moving process, True Homes in Charlotte suggests the following three tips for settling into a new community.

Be Open

With moves come many changes. Family members may become angry or saddened when they think of potentially losing close relationships and friendships they have built in the over the course of their lives. One way to help your family adjust to living in a new neighborhood is to let each family member discuss their feelings, whether positive or negative, about the move. Make sure to listen and respect each one’s feelings even if they do not reflect your own—be responsive and empathize with everyone.

Spread Positivity

Emphasize the positivity of the prospective move to your family. When entering a new community, it’s important to highlight the new surroundings for your children, as well as educating them on the possibility of learning about new cultures, and meeting new friends. Teach them that new learning experiences come in all shapes and sizes, and that this move will not be a negative life changing experience. Help them understand that even though they may not be a part of their former sports team or clubs, it doesn’t mean they don’t have the opportunity to enjoy all the same activities, only in a new and exciting environment with new journeys and fresh faces.

Take for example, turning the following negative worry into a positive scenario: if little Suzie is saddened that she will not be living next door to her best friend with whom she has frequent sleepovers with, let her know that friends are forever in our hearts and that they can always call each other, write letters and even visit one another other.

Explore

When actually reaching the new destination, spend family time getting to know the new surroundings. Become aware of the positive and exciting opportunities that you’re new town and neighborhood has to offer. Go on adventures as a family exploring new streets, restaurants, walking trails and any other activities that you enjoyed in the old neighborhood. Make sure to show each family member that the same activities can be enjoyed in the new neighborhood as well.

At True Homes, we believe that making a move shouldn’t be a time of negativity, but should reflect new hopes and aspirations.

Health Benefits of Living in a Green Home

With multiple communities in Charlotte, North Carolina and Charleston, South Carolina, the team at True Homes more than understands the importance and necessity of providing families with a safe, affordable, and most significantly, a healthy home. By providing green homes for our residents, True Homes is able to bring much more than just lower electric bills—you’ll enjoy real health benefits to help provide you and your family with a long and healthy life.

Reduction of Toxic Materials

For a lot of people, building and living in a new home comes with an almost unavoidable consequence of being exposed to harsh chemicals used in flooring, paint, and other construction materials. In today’s world, many non-green homes are comprised of compressed wood products that have been treated with preservatives such as formaldehyde; carpeting, which contains petroleum; and even countertops that may release trace amounts of uranium once they begin to decay. Life in a True Homes green home is designed with the health of your family in mind—meaning a healthy home contains almost no volatile organic compounds (VOC). In a green home, toxic materials are not used—allowing residents to see an immediate improvement in the safety, air quality, and overall health of all residing in their home. Of course, there are also numerous benefits associated with living in a home built with sustainable, eco-friendly materials and reduced electric bills.

Water Quality
Water is most essential to our everyday lives. Without water, or without properly filtered water, your risks of contracting contaminants like chlorine metals, VOC’s, and pesticides are greatly increased. Water quality isn’t only important for the water that you drink, you’re also using water brought in through your home to shower in, use to wash your laundry, and clean your dishes with. In a green home, a whole-house filtration system means that more than 99% of pollutants are removed from your water. Whole-house water filtration systems are easy to retrofit into an existing home, but can be even easier to install in a new construction home. Better water quality has been shown to greatly reduce the risk of you and your loved ones of developing respiratory problems, serious bacterial infections, and the onset of allergies.

Natural Light

Green homes are equipped with large, open, beautiful windows that allow much more natural light than traditional houses. Natural light not only brings down the cost of your electrical bills, but also brings improved psychological stimulation to you and your family that can result in increased happiness and natural vitamin D intake.

The benefits that come with living in a True Homes green home don’t just stop with this list—you’ll also enjoy the many perks of a vibrant, family oriented, blooming new community.
