How to build a home

If you're trying to figure out where to start when building a house, you're probably in one of two categories:

Category #1: You have no clue where to start.

Category #2: You're growing increasingly frustrated by trying to piece together knowledge from 100's of random blogs on the internet.

If this is you, the process can feel painfully frustrating at times, and no matter how hard you try, you just aren’t sure if you’re getting the correct information. 

Trust Us. We know how you feel!

As realtors we have not only seen our own clients battle these same problems, but we’ve also built our own custom homes. It's taken us almost 6 years of guiding clients through the homebuilding process and working with numerous builders in our community that we’re truly proud to teach you what we know.

We asked our clients what would have helped them earlier in the process, anything that would have saved them wasted time and headache!

Which is why we made this course… to save you from wasted time and unnecessary headaches. We teach you step by step what to expect during the homebuilding process.

Allow me to quickly introduce myself. My name is Ethan Hokel, I’m a realtor in Central Iowa and the team lead for The Hokel Real Estate Team. When I founded the Hokel Real Estate Team, my goal was to develop a client focused approach to real estate and provide world-class service. Selling & buying a home is a very important decision and a HUGE undertaking in your life. In fact, most people only own a few homes in their entire lifetime. Our real estate business has been built around on guiding principle: it’s all about YOU!
