Mount Pleasant Magazine March/April 2018

86 www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.MountPleasant.Pet | www.MountPleasantBuilders.com feature Having met with Marten at the Design Collective, it’s clear that these meetings are likely the highlight of the process for home buyers. Customers come to the stunning showroom, beautifully styled by JLV Designs, to pick out interior design options such as trim, tile, cabinets, wallpaper, paint colors, light fixtures and even furniture. Making these selections is often a stressful aspect of the home design process, but having a professional designer on hand and an interactive showroom streamlines the experience. “It truly is a one-stop shop for all your home-building needs,” said Marten. That may be the fun part, but Marten is equally dedicated to making the more technical side of home- building enjoyable as well. She is the single point of contact for the entire life of the build. When building a typical custom home, customers have to seek approval for building on the property, find a builder and solicit numerous vendors. With Crescent Homes, all of this is taken care of. According to Marten, the company also strives to work within a customer’s budget: “Traditionally, when building your own home, you have to go through so many hoops that you always go over budget,” she explained. Further, Crescent Homes is equipped to build in any neighborhood. “We are prepared to submit approval to architectural review boards,” said Marten. “We have over 45 floor plans, and we can customize exteriors to fit in any neighborhood.” For more information on Crescent Homes’ Flex program or to explore some of the spec homes available for purchase, visit www.crecsenthomes. net/flex. She explained that the process is so easy that clients can usually expect to move into their home within six months. Needless to say, traditional custom home-building is a much longer process. But the real difference comes in the company’s commitment to quality and service. “Building a family’s home is not something we take for granted. It is such a privilege. We recognize that this could be the largest purchase of their lives, and we want to make sure we make the process as stress-free as possible. This is a big deal, and we are prepared to bend over backward to make the home that they are building with us their dream home,” said Marten. Crescent Homes Vice President of Marketing Lee Miller added: “With Flex, we sought to redefine the custom-home building process, and that’s exactly what we are doing by building gorgeous custom homes truly tailored to our buyers’ needs and tastes, in the exact location they want to live, without the headache and hassle traditionally involved with building a custom home.” Your dream home; your way; without the stress. r l estate S HOWHOME S CHA R L E S TON HOME STAGING HOME UPDATING HOME MANAGERS HOME MAKEOVERS Lorelie Brown Owner of Showrhomes Charleston 843.606.2811 www.showhomescharleston.com CALL CHERYLL WOODS- FLOWERS 843.442.2219 www.woodsflowers.com 919 N Shem Drive, Mount Pleasant, SC 3 Beds, 2 Baths, 1,894 sq ft $575,000
