Preparing for Your First Consultation: What to Bring

A well-prepared client makes for a productive first meeting. At Mike Hollaway Custom Homes, we’re not just interested in what you want to build but in understanding who you are. I’ll be asking about your lifestyle, future dreams, and how you envision using your home. This allows us to tailor a home that truly fits you.
Before our initial meeting, it’s helpful to bring inspiration photos and a list of must-have features versus those that are just nice-to-haves. Consider your budget range, timeline expectations, and any lifestyle considerations like entertaining, hobbies, or future family plans. We’ll use this information to capture a clear picture of your vision and determine if we’re the right fit to bring it to life.
Remember, this meeting is a two-way conversation. You’re assessing me as much as I’m learning about your project. It’s important to feel comfortable and confident in who you’re working with.
To start creating a home that mirrors your life and aspirations, call (210) 490-0069 to schedule your first consultation. Let’s turn your dreams into reality, together.
