Season 2 Episode 8: Jennifer Vreeland McDermott On How To Make Your Builder-Grade Home Feel Custom

50-70% of homes currently for sale in the Pitt County market are new-build homes built spec by local home builders. If those are the majority of homes available for sale, maybe it’s worth figuring out what can be done to make them feel a little less like builder-grade homes and a little more custom.

Jennifer Vreeland McDermott of JV Design Style in Charleston, SC joins Femi to talk about how to bring custom home features in through home improvement, the role of memory and story in creating a unique home, and why builder-client relationship is key when upgrading a cookie-cutter home.

It is possible to make a spec home more storied and personalized, listen to the episode to find out how.
