Choose Your Austin Luxury Real Estate Builder Wisely

For more than 20 years, Sterling Custom Homes has built a reputation on constructing high quality Austin luxury real estate with unique features that makes the experience as streamlined as possible for buyers. However, the Austin builder warns that not all builders are created equal. In fact, many buyers are unaware that the state of Texas DOES NOT license and regulate homebuilders.

“There’s a saying in my industry, ‘When the housing market is good, everyone with a cell phone and a pickup truck calls himself a builder’,” said Duke McDowell, president of Sterling Custom Homes. “It’s a sad reality and it waters down the quality and professionalism within the industry that we and other quality home builders in Texas have worked so hard to achieve.”

Buyers must look past sleek marketing techniques to discover the true qualifications of a builder, and Sterling Custom Homes speak for themselves. No gimmicks, just quality custom homes.

So, go out and see for yourself what makes Sterling Custom Homes so special. The Austin builder constructs new homes in many of the area’s premier communities including custom home, private gated and resort golf locations. You can find their new homes at Lakeway, Village of the Hills, Rough Hollow, Caslano, Seven Oaks, Barton Creek, Mirador Drive, River Place, Spanish Oaks and The Reserve at Lake Travis.
