Heathstone Homes Unveils New Website
Hearthstone Homes, one of Omaha’s largest builders, has recently unveiled their new website.
Frankly, it was about time.
Hearthstone Homes needed the face lift badly, as their old website, like many Omaha home builders’ websites, was looking a bit dated.
The new site looks clean and has some nice 2.0 elements that really add to the functionality of their website. Features like drop-down menus and the implementation on the home page of a variety of ways for their potential customers to see what Hearthstone Homes has to offer really stand out when you compare the current website with what they had before.
There are more than a few other Omaha builders would do well to look at what Hearthstone Homes has done, work with their own Omaha web page design consultant and get with the times. So many people use the Internet as a tool while they look at different possible builders for their new home that it is foolish for new home builders to ignore having an attractive, useful website.
Monarch Homes
Monarch Homes has been putting up quite a few new homes in the Elkhorn area, and we know some people who have personally bought from Monarch Homes.
From Monarch Homes’ “about us” page on their website:
Dave Boyd
Dave was first smitten with the construction business while in high school during a summer job laying block. Following high school, he started trimming and building cabinets in homes. After several years working hard and learning the trade, Dave launched out on his own in 1976, creating Monarch Homes.
It’s not just a business for Dave. It’s his passion. While many would be content to take it easy on their days off, Dave is happily checking on jobs and planning for the next week. Monarch Homes is as much a part of Dave Boyd as breathing, and his happiness and dedication show in each home Monarch Homes builds.
A strong family man, Dave has been proud to show his sons the business he loves so much, and pleased that they have joined him at Monarch Homes.
Clinton Boyd
Clinton handles the real estate end of the business as the exclusive sales representative for Monarch Homes. He has been selling real estate since 1999 and is affiliated with CBSHome Real Estate, the region’s leader in residential real estate with more than 610 sales associates working in eleven sales offices throughout Omaha and Council Bluffs. As a realtor, Clinton has been recognized for his excellence. In 2005, he was ranked 13th out of those 610 CBSHome Real Estate associates, and has been awarded top monthly list or sales agent in his office over 30 times. Additionally, Clinton has been in the prestigious CBSHome “Circle of Excellence” for 2004, 2005, and 2006.
With Monarch Homes being a family business, Clinton grew up around construction and worked on home sites during high school and college. He is a graduate of University of Nebraska at Lincoln with a degree in Business Administration. Clinton has extensive knowledge of both existing real estate and new residential construction and is familiar with Omaha area subdivisions and available lot inventory.
Clayton Boyd
The younger of Dave’s two sons, Clayton is just as dedicated as his dad and brother. And he’s learning the home building business from the ground up. He started out cleaning job sites, sweeping out houses on the weekends and after school. Clayton now has specialized at Monarch, and is responsible for building decks, retaining walls, rough punch and inspections of the houses.
The Monarch Homes Difference
- History and Reputation
Monarch Homes is one of the few builders in Omaha that’s been around for 30+ years. During that time, we’ve built not only the best homes for the money, but also a solid reputation for excellence in all we do.
- Philosophy
We use quality construction materials and methods that incorporate safety and styling. Built without cutting corners, a Monarch Home is a strong commitment to your lifestyle, creating a safe, stress-free haven for you and your family. Whether you’re a military family who will only be here a few years, a family who wants to settle in and raise kids and grandkids, or an established home owner who wants an oasis from the world, your new Monarch Home will have lasting value.
- Personal Involvement
We take the “hands-on” approach to everything we do. Dave is the superintendent of each site, and you have direct contact with him throughout the process.
- Expert Advice
Monarch Homes builds homes that will last a lifetime and beyond. But if the time comes that you’re ready to have us build you another new home, we want this home to have the maximum re-sale value possible. That’s why we work with you to help you choose designs, features and customization that will stand the test of time.
We also have developed relationships with an outstanding draftsman who can give you great advice about customization and one of the best interior decorators in the area who will be happy to help you personalize your finished home.
- Flexibility
With continued contact with Dave throughout the building of your home, it’s easy to make changes along the way. Monarch Homes is one of the few builders in the Omaha Metro area that doesn’t charge a service fee for changes!
- Lot Consultation
Need help choosing the right lot? Monarch Homes can help you decide which lot is right for you, and will give you helpful advice about what lot preparation will be needed before construction begins.
- Financing
Monarch Homes can help you get in touch with a lender who will meet your needs. Also, unlike so many others, Monarch Homes takes contingencies so you’re not stuck making mortgage payments on both your current home and your new Monarch Home.
- Involvement in the Community
Dave is a respected leader in the building community and has served as President of Metro Omaha Builders Association (MOBA) and the Nebraska State Home Builders Association. Additionally, Monarch Homes is a proud participant each year in MOBA’s Spring and Fall Parade of Homes. Not only that, but Monarch Homes has received the distinct honor of being included in the Better Business Bureaus’ Honor Roll.
Prairie Homes
While they may build very nice homes, their website leaves much to be desired. iQuest Venture Group, the website design firm that handles Prairie Homes’ website, should be ashamed of themselves.
From Prairie Homes’ “about us” page on their website:
The #1 concern of Prairie Homes Inc. is quality construction. With 18 years experience in new home construction, Terry L. Bouge’s reputation prevails in his use of quality products, superior workmanship, and competitive pricing.
We invite you to challenge Prairie Homes to offer the best price and workmanship in the Omaha metro area.
