Below are some common questions clients have before and during the luxury home building process. If you have more questions, Kim will be happy to answer them.
Yes. Kim partners with his team at Big D Homes, which specializes in crafting truly custom homes with attention to every detail. He can guide you from concept to completion, bringing a builder's eye to design, materials, and value that most agents cannot offer.
A builder-turned-broker understands construction quality, fair pricing for finishes, and what actually adds resale value. When you buy or build, Kim can evaluate whether a home is built to the standard its price suggests, which protects you from overpaying for cosmetic upgrades.
A custom luxury build typically takes 9 to 18 months from design through completion, depending on complexity, permitting, material lead times, and weather. Kim gives realistic timelines upfront and helps you plan your housing situation during the build.
Custom luxury build costs in Sioux Falls vary widely based on size, finishes, site work, and specialty features. Kim provides a realistic budget range during a consultation and helps you make choices that balance the lifestyle you want with long-term resale value.
Options range from developed lots in southeast Sioux Falls (57108) to larger acreage tracts on the south and west sides. Kim and the Distinctive Collection have listed significant land parcels, and Kim can help you evaluate a lot's buildability, utilities, and future value.
Building new lets you customize every detail and avoid remodeling, while buying existing is faster and often costs less per square foot. Kim has done both and can compare the real costs, timelines, and tradeoffs so you choose the path that fits your goals.
When Kim sells a home he or his team built, he can speak credibly to its construction quality, materials, and craftsmanship. That insider knowledge translates into stronger marketing, confident pricing, and a buyer who trusts what they are purchasing.
