Looking for renovation ideas? Visit the Remodelers Showcase

Deepen your Parade of Homes experience by visiting the Remodelers Showcase. This three-day event offers a unique perspective of remodeled homes in the area, plus the opportunity to converse with local remodelers.

Contractors and architects have thoughtfully remodeled the featured homes to better align with modern living standards — while maintaining original features and honoring the character of the property. Gather insights from these experts, as you may find them beneficial while planning your own home improvements.

Can a Realtor help with the Parade of Homes tour?

Yes! It is to your advantage to work with a REALTOR as you tour the Parade of Homes or build a brand-new home. Your agent is an expert in the field and will be your best resource, advocating for you throughout your home search. REALTORS deeply understand the process of purchasing and building homes and can explain the steps and timeline, advise on key decisions and help with negotiations or other challenges that may arise.

When starting your Parade of Homes experience with your REALTOR, you can rest assured that you have an expert guiding you as you navigate the unique path of a new construction purchase. Even if you don’t bring your REALTOR with you on the Parade of Homes, you’ll still want to mention to potential developers that you are already working with an agent.
