BUILDING YOUR DREAM

What does your dream home look like?

Where is it located?

Who is going to build it for you?

How big is the kitchen island?

Will there be a mud room?

Does the garage have enough space for a home workshop?

These are just an example of the myriad of questions that arise when considering building the home of your dreams. The professionals at Footitt Homes have answers.

Bob Footitt Jr. has been building custom dream homes in the Fargo-Moorhead area for 25 years. “We offer start to finish planning, design and execution for our homeowners. From the lot selection down to the grout in the tile,” Footitt says.

The saying goes, the three most important things in real estate are location, location and location and that’s the first thing to consider when working with a builder. Footitt currently has several lots available, three in the beautiful Tessa Terrace area of south Moorhead. This location features large lots and proximity to the Bluestem Amphitheater entertainment venue. In the Hamptons development, also in south Moorhead, Footitt has the last pond adjacent lot available.

Once you’ve settled on a location, Footitt works with you to create a unique floor plan that fits your lifestyle. Every part of the home has a purpose, and a carefully thought-out space will maximize your square footage. “Be genuine in personalizing every detail to reflect your family’s lifestyle, needs and preferences,” says Footitt. “We emphasize maximizing plan flow and efficiency of space when designing homes.”

An architect’s rendering of the exterior elevations will help visualize the style and positioning of your home on the lot. Additional renderings bring to life the vision for the interiors. Footitt’s skilled draftspeople can alter the finishes or move features like fireplaces and cabinetry to create the interior of your dreams. From the building material to fixture selection, they help you navigate every possibility with templates or multiple design options to make the perfect selection. “We understand some buyers have never built a true custom home before and may have a hard time visualizing how certain details will look or don’t realize how a certain product they selected may affect the overall appearance,” Footitt says.

When your dream home has come to life on screen, it’s time to start construction. But don’t expect to sit back and wonder how your home is progressing. You’ll remain in close contact with updates and on-site meetings throughout construction so you can ensure every detail is covered and see the master craftsmanship that goes into your home from the ground up. Footitt prides himself on involving owners in every step of the process for a truly one-of-a-kind building experience, “We feel our owners should be able to see the workmanship behind the walls, seeing firsthand how well their home is being built.”

“In all my years of home building, I can proudly say I have never built the same home twice,” Footitt states. As you walk through a finished Footitt built home for the first time, you will understand why people say "you can see and feel the quality of a Footitt built home."
