LGI Homes is a privately owned home builder specializing in creating master planned communities. They are one of the fastest growing home builders in Texas since 2003, and build their communities primarily in the Dallas, Houston and San Antonio markets. Their stated goal is to build the home the client wants and to pass savings on to them by purchasing and developing land in advance and designing the entire community down to the roads and neighborhoods.
LGI Homes prides itself on its commitment to customer service. They tend to try to go out of their way to make the home buying process less stressful than it can normally be. They offer onsite mortgage consultants in every one of their sales offices. They request sit down meetings with potential customers when it comes to building homes within the community, down to the types of appliances a home buyer might want. They offer a credit counsel program where they work with the home buyers in choosing a floor plan and discussing the price of the home. They even offer a "no money down" option for qualified applicants.
The company has 5 master planned communities at the present time, and homes are affordable in each one. As a matter of fact, the company touts that there's a plan in each community which would start monthly mortgage payments at only $629 a month. The reason they can make this offer is that purchasing the land so they can build their own homes on means they don't have to compete with other home builders within their community who might build either homes of lesser quality or homes that cost so much that it brings the costs of other homes up as well. Floor plans are flexible enough so that home owners don't have to worry that every home on their street will look the same, and they can maintain the worth of all homes within a community to make sure that there's an affordable option for everyone.
LGI Homes has shown up on the list of Top 100 Home Builders by Builder Magazine multiple times, including #57 in 2009. Also in 2009 they were ranked #3 in overall quality as it pertains to the homes they build and #8 in customer service satisfaction by J.D. Power and Associates. They were honored by Inc 500 magazine as one of the fastest growing private companies for the third year in a row. Indeed, this is a company that's recognized nationally for what they do, and are worth talking to if you're looking for a home in the central Texas area of the state.
