Helping YOU thoroughly ENJOY the process and journey of building your dream home is my PASSION!
I'm Cynthia
"The Buildaficionado"
The powerhouse dedicated to revolutionizing the custom home building process for first-time home builders... or the dream home obsessed!
Over 20 years ago, I started in the design and construction industry...
and I did not realize how much joy and fun it would bring to my life! The people I've had the opportunity to meet, the stories I have been a part of... I've been there for some of the most spectacular 'door opening' moments and such special and touching 'oh wow' memories! It's given me such a rich and joyous life.
I want to help YOU have an amazing and incredible dream home journey too!
Building my OWN dream home was literally a dream come true...
but it also redefined and reshaped how I will look at the process forever!
Building a custom home - your dream home or a forever home, should be one of the most thrilling and exciting experiences in your life as you literally get to watch your dream grow from ideas and drawings into physical reality!
Instead, all too often, it turns into an undertaking you regret as the overwhelm, stress, budget overages, and frustrations mount!
It doesn't have to be that way!
After helping countless families navigate through the entire process from first idea to walking into their brand-new home, I have realized there are only 5 things anyone embarking on building a custom home needs to know to smooth out the process!
I passionately teach people those 5 things!
I want success for YOU too...
