Why Should Austin Residents and Homeowners Attend?

This tour has been deemed the “most relevant” homes tour in Austin because it is the best way to see, touch and truly experience what could be possible for homeowners right here in Austin, TX. Ticket holders tour each home, get their questions answered by the builders themselves, gather inspiration and overall, get a better understanding of the remodel process first-hand.

This coveted two-day experience should be a must-do on Austin resident’s fall calendar for a few reasons.

1. Relatability

Attendees experience real-life home transformations in Austin, learn about how each homeowner’s vision was brought to life, each challenge was overcome, and get a true understanding of what it takes to achieve their home remodel goals. Fun fact, sometimes these homes are in the attendee’s neighborhood, sometimes next door and even have an identical floorplan to that of their home. Talk about Pinterest in REAL LIFE!

2. Talk with the Pros Themselves

Attendees have multiple opportunities to speak with the remodel professionals themselves, on-site at each home and not only the builder – oftentimes, a few of the trade professionals involved in the project will be on site as well.

Not to mention, this can be a fantastic qualifying process to seek out the most qualified builder for their home project.

Face-to-face interaction with the builder on the tour allows residents to get to know the builders, their work, and their processes to understand whether they could be a good fit for their home project.

His house was built in the 1970s thus, in need of significant structural changes to accommodate his wheelchair and overall, afford him livability within the walls of his own home.
