The holidays are a time for being with family and friends, making memories, sharing traditions and giving back. This holiday season, Gerstad Builders has the opportunity to give back to you when you purchase a new home in Richmond.

In order to make the city of Richmond a better place for everyone to live, building permit fees are collected by the city to support various institutions such as schools, parks and fire departments. Recently, Richmond has placed a suspension on the school fees and Gerstad Builders is passing on the savings to new homeowners. With the purchase of a home in the Richmond community of The Trails of Pheasant Ridge, buyers will receive $4,000 off the listing price. This is Gerstad Builders’ gift to you this holiday season, and there’s never been a better time to take advantage of these incredible savings.

At The Trails of Pheasant Ridge, you can choose from a variety of single-family home plans including ranch and two-story homes ranging in size from 1,300 to almost 3,200 square feet. And, since Gerstad Builders are the experts in custom home building, you can even choose to personalize your new home according to your unique style and needs. Optional features at The Trails of Pheasant Ridge include skylights, three-car garages (per plan), additional volume ceilings and a wide selection of finishes. You can even customize your home with a wood-burning fireplace, which are currently on sale for half price in The Trails of Pheasant Ridge and all of Gerstad Builders’ new home communities.

Richmond is home to a variety of shops, services and churches, but is also easily accessible to Chicago via Metra or the nearby expressway. Residents of The Trails of Pheasant Ridge love the community’s natural beauty as well, with its small town atmosphere, sidewalks and proximity to the countryside of Lake Geneva. Children residing in the community will attend excellent area schools including Richmond Elementary, Richmond Middle and Richmond-Burton High schools.

These specials won’t last long, so contact Gerstad Builders today and you can be in your new home at The Trails of Pheasant Ridge just in time for the holidays. To learn more about the current incentive and the Holiday Fireplace Special, visit www.GerstadBuilders.com.
