200 New True Homes Are Coming to Locust Town Center!

We are delighted to announce that True Homes and our sister company, Tribute Homes are expanding once again!  This time, we’re launching a new 200 home subdivision adjacent to Stanly County’s Locust Town Center. True Homes will eventually build 200 new homes, and to mark the inaugural single-family home neighborhood, four model homes are available for touring now.

With ranch and two-story designs planned for the Locust Town Center, True Homes in the highly desirable community will feature floor plans ranging from 1,600-3,000 square feet.  Locust Town Center boasts the modern conveniences of larger master-planned communities, including office space, shopping and housing in an entirely walkable community.  

Bob Barbee, Locust Town Center Developer said “We are especially pleased that True Homes appreciates the same values and traditions that we at Locust Town Center consider important to the continued success of small towns in America like the City of Locust. The opening of our new single-family neighborhood and eventual plans for 200 new homes clearly demonstrate the confidence our builders, investors and town officials have in the desirability of Locust Town Center for generations to come.” 

Located just less than 40 minutes from Charlotte, the city of Locust is a thriving small town with easy access to Charlotte, Albemarle, Concord and Monroe.  

True Homes is the largest builder of new homes in greater Charlotte, NC.  For more information on the new development at Locust Town Center, or to receive a Priority Selection Reservation visit www.truehomeusa.com

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.
