I'm a licensed Virginia real estate broker and a Class A RBC contractor. I can walk your land, tell you honestly whether it's buildable, price the house, and then build it — same person, start to finish.

The guide exists because the first question everyone asks is the one nobody answers straight. So here are our real numbers, on paper, before you ever talk to me.
