Building Your Home
- TEAM UP WITH A REALTOR®
Your REALTOR® will assist with info on special assessments, taxes, lots available, plans to compare, and builder promotions. Going directly to the builder usually doesn’t save you money. - KNOW YOUR BUILDER
Get references from those who have worked with the builder and make sure you see their unfinished & finished product. - COMPARISON SHOP
If you are getting bids from more than one builder, remember to compare apples to apples. Just because two homes have similar amenities, doesn’t mean they are the same quality. - KNOW WHAT IS INCLUDED
Get everything in writing that is included in your build. Some common items are appliances, washer/dryer, window coverings, sod/hydro seed, final grade vs rough grade yard, deck, and sidewalks. - KNOW YOUR ALLOWANCES
An allowance is the amount of money the builder sets aside for things such as appliances, lighting, flooring and more. Your REALTOR® will explain what it means if you are over or under budget. - KNOW SQUARE FOOTAGE
Check out some model homes and decide the size of rooms you need. Don’t forget about closets and storage too! - DOCUMENTATION
Keep good notes and all of your receipts for lighting, appliances, etc. - BE PREPARED FOR DELAYS
Weather, waiting for sub-contractors, or visiting the job site too often could cause delays in the construction of the home. Have a backup housing plan if your home is not completed on time. - THINK RESALE!
Choose a good location and plan to make your home desirable for resale down the road. - BE PREPARED FOR OVERAGES
All upgrades will be charged to you, which may change your mortgage payment. Get all changes in writing and know that it may cause a delay and/or up-charge from your builder. Be aware that too many upgrades can cause appraisal issues.
PARK CO., REALTORS® represents a variety of builders in the Fargo, West Fargo, Moorhead, and Lakes areas. When building your home, you will have a peace of mind knowing that your REALTOR® is working in your best interest and the builder you chose is the best match for you.

Nathan was absolutely excellent to work with and easily the best realtor I’ve ever had. I was buying a home from out of state, and Nathan made the entire process so much easier. He was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and level-headed throughout the process. I always felt like he had my best interests in mind and could rely on him to give me honest, thoughtful advice. I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor and would highly recommend Nathan to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Hunter was a great realtor! He made sure to check all the boxes of what we were looking for and made sure we were well taken care of the whole process. Although I knew Hunter personally, he was very professional and with his personal knowledge on repairs, details and the local market, he educated us on what was good and bad with every house tour. I 100% recommend Hunter!

I had a great experience working with Jennifer Johnson throughout the home-buying process. I’ve known her personally for years since she was my swim coach, so I already knew I could trust her, but she exceeded my expectations as my realtor as well. She was extremely knowledgeable, always quick to respond, and gave me great recommendations throughout the entire process. She was incredibly helpful, patient, and encouraging, which made what could have been a stressful experience feel much easier. I’m very grateful for all of her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Valerie leaves a very good lasting impression I am sure on everyone but she especially did with me. Bought the condo 9 years ago, and Valerie was the realtor, to be closer to family. And now a planned move to St. Paul area for same reason. Couldn’t have imagined a quicker sale than this and also the closing. Listed July 29th and a good offer within days. My plan was to do this with no rush, but the quick sale and along with Valerie’s advice and very helpful reminders was what I needed to get my part done. Also with my move to St. Paul area I needed a little help with things at old home while hundreds of miles away. Valerie was so willing to help me out. I absolutely would recommend her to others if asked. Thank you Valerie!

Jenny is the 4th or 5th Realtor I've worked with, and she is, without a doubt, the best of the bunch. She's a great communicator and very thoughtful about making sure she covers all the bases. She was extremely supportive during some unique circumstances that arose by giving some great, objective thoughts and ideas. I highly recommend Jenny and will be sure to encourage others to partner with her for their Realtor needs, as well.

Jamie Swenson was so helpful in our quest to identify the right home for us in Fargo. As we pursued the possibilities of buying a condo downtown, we determined that it was not suitable for our retirement lifestyle. So back to the drawing board without hesitation and we ended up building. Jamie identified available lots and did virtual walkthroughs of multiple floor plans. She was a strong advocate for us and provided excellent guidance through the entire process. Many thanks to Jamie for making this experience a pleasure!

Highly recommend agent Gregg Bauman. I honestly believed my purchasing a home would never come to fruition. Gregg was quick to respond to any calls and the massive amount of frivolous text messages I sent him. He has been so helpful providing the pros and cons of homes I provided him.... to even demonstrating to me how to turn the thermostat settings in house. Trust me.... I asked some ridiculous questions. Many. He was so nice and patient. Guiding me through my purchase. He has wonderful affiliates he provided me with to choose from for the other company services required in a purchase. Each of his contacts proved equally as wonderful as Gregg. Thank you Gregg and to every reference you provided me with!

We were so happy with our experience working with Jenn. From the beginning, she really listened to what we were looking for and was incredibly accommodating with our sometimes crazy schedule. We lived hours away from the community where we were looking to purchase, and Jenn made what could have been a complicated process feel easy. She worked around our limited availability, made inconvenient showing times work, and always made the most of the time we had. One of the things we appreciated most was how honest and thoughtful she was. She made sure we were looking at each home realistically, pointed out things we may not have noticed or thought to consider, and never made us feel pressured. We completely trusted her and always felt that she genuinely had our best interests in mind. Jenn was knowledgeable, patient, kind, and simply wonderful to work with. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

When I started thinking about buying my first home, I knew Park Co. Realtors were the people to call. The agents have incredible experience and in-depth knowledge of the FM housing market. They know about competitive prices and advised where needed. Every step was open and honest and I could trust they had my best interest always in mind. These people are truly pros.

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to help us through this process. From the very beginning, Sarah was so friendly, kind, patient, and genuinely easy to talk to. She never made us feel like we were asking too many questions or taking up too much of her time, and she always made sure we understood what was happening every step of the way. What meant the most to us was how hard she fought for us. She truly had our best interests at heart and never hesitated to go to bat for us when it mattered. We always felt like we had someone in our corner who cared about us—not just about making a sale. She made what could have been a stressful process feel exciting, fun, and even memorable. We laughed a lot, had a great time. We are so grateful that we had her by our side while finding our home. She went above and beyond for us, and we would recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for a realtor. We couldn’t be happier with our experience.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Jennifer! She helped us purchase our very first home and, when the time came, helped us sell it as well. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience through both processes. She was always available to answer our questions, kept us updated every step of the way, and made sure we always knew what was going on. We especially appreciated all of her guidance, honest feedback, and support throughout the entire process. Buying and selling a home can be stressful, but she made everything feel so much easier and more manageable. We are so grateful for everything she did for us and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
