This has been an extraordinary year for DSLD Homes, located in Louisiana and Mississippi. They received Professional Builder’s 2011 Builder of the Year award and have grown to building over 700 homes a year. Founded only 3 years ago by Saun Sullivan and 5 partners, DSLD Homes has risen to the top and endured the market crash and economic pressure. They also had to overcome the normal obstacles that face new building companies — convincing suppliers, trade contractors, building inspectors, Realtors, and developers that DSLD was as good as its word. From the beginning, the vision was to create a very tight, fundamentally sound, production home-building operation.

Sullivan and his colleagues came into the market with an extremely well informed local knowledge of the best neighborhoods, school districts, and other places where homes would sell relatively quickly. They fused that knowledge with a devotion to keeping their word with all of their partners to develop a positive reputation that could eventually become their hallmark. By creating good partnerships with trade contractors, Realtors, and in every other part of their business, three-year-old DSLD behaves as if there remains for them a lot to prove to themselves and the market. When asked when the company will begin to feel more secure with its place in the market, Sullivan indicates that that day is still way out on the horizon.

By now, buyers know there is no shortage of Dallas master planned community choices. The trick is learning which ones meet your high caliber standards. We know of one that does: Castle Hills, named Community of the Year by the Dallas Homebuilders Association.

What’s so special about Castle Hills? The 2,500-acre master-planned golf course community west of the Tollway and Park Blvd. is one of the premier residential golf communities in North Texas; that’s right, these Dallas new homes west of Plano are surrounded by an 18 hold Jay Morrish designed golf course and country club – one with dining, pro shop, meeting rooms and a teaching academy.

But golf isn’t the only selling point for this superior Dallas master planned community. Throughout Castle Hills, there are parks, lakes, a hike-and-bike trail and community centers with swimming pools, basketball and tennis courts, fitness rooms, ball fields and more. Sound like somewhere you’d like to live? Of course it does! In fact, this lifestyle is so covetable that there is actually a Castle Hills movie in production as we speak (yes, really!).

Although the Dallas new homes of Castle Hills top out at $2 million, there is an accessible buyer entry point for those of us on a middle income budget; that’s right, you can own at Castle Hills starting in the $200’s. For more information, contact the office of this Dallas master planned community at (214) 559-9233.

If a spacious family home in close proximity to D.C. is on your radar, look no further than the Poolesville new homes of Brightwell Crossing. Poolesville, Maryland is the perfect backdrop for busy, yet traditionally-minded families looking for an idyllic East Coast lifestyle; and Brightwell Crossing is one of the standout gems in the town’s premier selection of new home communities. Heard that before? Here’s something you haven’t heard…

Brightwell Crossing has a new model home for you to fall in love with. These Poolesville new homes now include the Dickerson Model, an elegant residence located at 17904 Doctor Walling Drive that serious buyers should definitely see. Between the first floor owner’s suite and a second owner’s suite upstairs (yes, that’s two master suites!), owners of this upscale estate will have a hard time choosing a favorite place to spend their time. Have you heard of a more flexible, unique home layout? We didn’t think so.

And yes, there’s plenty of room for everyone: with five bedrooms, four and a half baths, and three finished levels, you can rest assured that no one will be on top of each other. Plus, with Energy Star and Indoor airPlus certified appliances and features, these homes are wired for the socially conscious family. The only downside? These incredible Poolesville new homes won’t be move-in ready until January 2011. Of course, that also means plenty of time to start your decorating plans! To inquire about these Poolesville new homes, contact Chris Pikus regarding Brightwell Crossing at (301) 208-2588 – and do it today!
