LAST OPPORTUNITY

BELTERRA-
Streetman Homes is a locally based, award winning, quality builder that prides itself in its workmanship. Streetman Homes has been building in Austin for over 15 years.
Since we have recently SOLD our Model Home, the Aspen, on Harris St, that leaves only two homes in Valley Oaks available! The Chisholm, 280 Meaves Way on a treed lot and the Sequoia 140 Kiras, located on a corner lot both homes are priced in the low 200’s. The Montclair is on the very last 90’s lot in Aspen Hills at 130 Granite Lane. The Montclair is just less than 3,700 sq ft. All three homes represent excellent value and are ready for immediate move in. There has never been a better time to buy a Streetman Home in Belterra then now. That should make for some very Happy Home Owners. Enjoy the HOLLIDAY season in your new Streetman Home.
This is an incredible opportunity to own one of the last NEW Streetman Homes in Belterra.

West Cypress Hills-
Truly a Beautiful Hill Country Community, just minutes drive from the Galleria, RR620 and Lake Travis. West Cypress Hills is located in Spicewood, an area expecting to boom in expansion. What with the all the new developments set to start in 2011 on the Highway 71 corridor. You can still buy a home that is value plus on a greenbelt and set in a pristine Hill Country setting, the community has swimming pools, basketball court, playscapes, miles of walking tracks and BBQ facilities. Homes are priced at an average of $100 dollars a square foot much lower then Falcon Head West and this price will give you a greenbelt lot. And it’s still in the Lake Travis ISD. That’s not so far away to save yourself a minimum of $80,000. The selection of restaurants and entertainment venues, in Spicewood are wonderful from top of the line steak house to Burgers, BBQ, Mexican, Ice house and famous LIVE music venues.

We have a Tahoe single story home on Texas Bluebell and a 2 story new plan The Aspen on Agarito. Both these homes are ready to move into and are set in gorgeous positions with views and priced to sell.

We also have the last corner treed lot available to build your dream home.
Unbelievable opportunities await you in West Cypress Hills

If you have any questions on either of these communities you can contact our sales professional, Peter, at 512-565-0888.

Last Opportunity!!!!!!

I’ve been working in Belterra since November of 2007. In this time I’ve had the privilege of helping many families find their dream home.

At the time I started with Streetman Homes we were building in The Palisades, Aspen Hills & Valley Oaks. Having said that we’ve been selling like hot cakes and I only have 4 remaining opportunities for home ownership. Palisades is completely Closed Out! Valley Oaks has 3 One of a Kind homes available and I have one opportunity remaining to own a home in the Prestigious Aspen Hills Neighborhood.

Just a short walk to the parks, greenbelt & Rooster Springs Elementary, 130 Granite Lane is Truly One-Of-A-Kind. This Beauty, The Montclair hasn’t been built in Aspen ever before. This is an awesome 2 story home built on a huge home site with over 3600 square feet. Nice tall ceilings in the entry, study & dining room makes this home feel larger than it is. The Montclair “B” Elevation was built with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, Formal Dining, Study, Media Room, Game room, 3 Car Tandem Garage, Walk out Attic Storage on a huge oversized home site! Perfect Yard for a Pool!

A word from Emily in Sendero Springs

Today it is raining in Austin and I just read a few good articles about things going on in Austin such as The Colt McCoy wedding this month, the huge bridal/sample sale starting tomorrow at the Renaissance Austin Hotel!! What a great opportunity for those that are looking for a wedding dress to save some serious money!! Centex Homes apparently built a home on a pond and then sold it without the certificate of occupancy!!! Austin’s water utility is offering to recycle your old toilets that you’re replacing with high efficiency toilets.

According to the American Statesman 20,000 toilets were replaced last year by, us, utility customers. That’s a lot of toilets and according to them… we are the only city in Texas offering this service!! How cool is that!! Just another tidbit that makes Austin unique!!

What else that is so unique right now are the still historically low mortgage rates.

It is by far a rare opportunity, just like it is for those that are wedding dress shopping to find their ideal $3000 wedding dress at the bridal sample sale, mentioned above, for $1500!! How great would that be!! You just saved $1500 dollars that you can now use to pay for your honeymoon.

The low rates are allowing people to do something similar. That, along with the competitive pricing, is allowing people to improve their quality of life by making the home they need and want attainable! If you’re looking to attain your perfect home… now is the right time to do it.

Every year around this time, Streetman Homes positions their communities well for home buyers seeking more of an immediate move-in, versus waiting 4-6 months to build their dream home. Right now we have built and are still building some beautiful showcase homes in Sendero Springs, which is home to RRISD schools; world class amenities and the location could not be any more ideal for anyone. If you work in downtown Austin, you are 35 minutes away. If you work in Round Rock or Cedar Park you are 5-20 minutes away. If you work in Lakeway you are 30-40 min. away. Unless you have lived in a small town that only has one gas station, like I used to, a 20min.-50min. commute is pretty standard. Your kids will have plenty to do with the trails, pools, playscapes in and around the community. They can even bike or walk to school. For those that love shopping well you have tons to choose from!!!

So if you are looking in the Round Rock area for your perfect home, stop in for a second, John or I, Emily, will be more than happy to give you our available showcase home list or talk to you about building a home. We love being apart of finding our clients next perfect home; because there is nothing more rewarding than seeing you smile from ear to ear when you say, “This is the one.”

Oppertunity Knocks for Home Buyers

Streetman Homes Sweeps Up At The 2010 MAX Awards

Longtime Austin homebuilder Streetman Homes took home the Best Builder “Grand MAX” Award from the Home Builders Association of Greater Austin (HBA) – a testament to the local builder’s reputation for overall quality and excellence. The builder was also honored with 22 other awards, including 16 first place MAX awards and 6 Silver awards for building excellence.

The HBA’s 800+ associate and builder members compete for awards in 75 categories. Judges from across the country score each entry, narrowing the field to three finalists for each category. The gala recognizes each winner with a MAX Award, and runners-up receive a Silver Award.

The prestigious MAX awards are given only to those builders, developers or remodelers who have “made significant and creative contributions in residential marketing through specific achievements.” The Grand MAX Builder of the Year awards are given to the builders who earn the most points in the judging process.

Award-winning home designs Streetman was also recognized for its creative design approach, winning such MAX awards as Best Green Home for the third year in a row, and Best Specialty Product Design for its innovative “flex-home” at Mueller that combines office and living space in a modern, environmentally-friendly design.

The builder also won the MAX award for Best Product Design: $350,000-$475,000 for its Fairview design at the Highland Horizon community, and the Silver MAX award in the same category for its Davenport design at Sendero Springs.

Streetman builds homes designed for the way homebuyers live in some of Austin’s most popular residential communities, including Belterra, Mueller and West Cypress Hills, as well as Sendero Springs and Highland Horizon. Prices range from the $190s to more than $1 million, with styles that appeal to just about everyone.

The builder’s newest community is Pearson Place at Avery Ranch, which will open soon and will offer buyers new homes and award-winning designs from the mid-200s.

Service that can’t be beat Great customer service is important to Streetman, and the builder was honored with awards that speak to that dedication, including Best Onsite Salesperson, Construction Manager of the Year, Warranty Service Professional of the Year, Sales Manager of the Year, and Best Sales Office.

“The focus of a company should be on four areas: protecting employees, shareholders, customers and associates,” said Randy Streetman, founder of Streetman Homes. “I’m proud to say that we’ve protected our team in the last 17 years while building more than 2,000 homes.”

It’s that philosophy and dedication to its customers and employee that Streetman was recognized for at this year’s MAX awards. And it’s the company’s mission to continue to build quality, beautifully designed homes for you and your family to enjoy.

Streetman Homes Teams with Boy Scouts of America

This last week, Streetman Homes was lucky enough to be given a chance to meet with some Boy Scouts attempting to earn a badge. Here is a picture and story from one of the Streetman Employee's!

Belinda (Our Highland Horizon New Home Professional) was approached a month ago from a scout master who was trying to find a way for their Cub Scouts to earn their engineering badge. They asked if someone could show them around a jobsite and teach them about engineering and finding property pins. I scheduled it with the scout master (Monica Nelson) and met them in Highland Horizon.

I showed them how to find property pins from looking at a plat map. I explained how water, sewer and electric get in and out of the house. After we left that jobsite we went over to a frame and I explained how the architectural and engineering drawings are used to build a home. They also got lucky because the a/c guy was there running the ductwork. They were able to see how the a/c gets distributed to each room.

They helped measure the lot and find the property pins. I showed them what the foundation looks like before the concrete is poured. They looked at the engineering plans and saw how the framing was installed per the plans.

I think they understood how things worked for the most part. I tried to keep it as simple as possible and compare looking at the plans to looking at a map on a video game. I think their generation can understand spatial references better because of video games and having that background. Looking at a map on a video game is similar to looking at a floor plan and "walking" through it on the plans. They really enjoyed going through a two story frame and were excited to be able to go upstairs. They also enjoyed wearing a hard hat.

Last Call For Belterra

I’ve had the privilege working for the Best Home Builder in Austin, Streetman Homes, for almost 2 ½ years. Unlike a lot of New Homes Sales Professionals in the industry, I’ve been working In Beautiful Belterra this entire time. It feels a little magical like Disney or something….I’ve made dreams come true and gained life long friends.

It kind of hit me last week when I had 4 of my homeowners either stopped by or called to say Hello. They love their Streetman Homes and the beautiful neighborhood. Just as all great things come to an end…Streetman Homes is getting near the end of our Home sites & Inventory in Belterra. Soon the only way to own a Streetman Home in the Community will be to purchase a Used Home.

This having been said there’s NEVER been a BETTER Opportunity to buy a BRAND NEW Streetman Home in Belterra. In Aspen Hills we have two Gorgeous Homes seeking a happy family immediately. Two incredible options…Our Most Popular Davenport II plan or our newly introduced beauty, The Montclair, both over 3600 square feet!

Perhaps you are like me and prefer not to spend all of your free time cleaning and keeping up your yard then Valley Oaks will be perfect for you. I have two amazing plans under construction as we speak & yes they will be complete in plenty of time to take advantage of the Home Buyer Tax Credit that ends June 30th. Both are single story plans; ones a corner Home site & one features a 3 Car Garage!!!

If you desire to add your on flair from the ground up I have 2 lonely home sites that you can build on with many plans to choose from. Not only that, we are currently offering $25,000 for you to use towards your options & upgrades when

you build a new Streetman Home. And for those of you who prefer a designers touch, our gorgeous Model Home “The Aspen” can be yours!!

As much as it saddens me, my Belterra Journey is almost over, but as the saying goes when one door closes another one will open. I am looking forward to my next Opportunity to make peoples dreams become their reality.
