Local Log Home Companies

It happened again the other day. And what was that? A local appraiser called wondering about log homes, log home packages and values. Ends up someone here in my areas stumbled into an out of state log home company with no local support for builders or lenders. That is just one example of why it is so important to start local. Log home dealers are all over the country. Some are log home builders and the rest have builders they use to offer local support. Beyond the builder aspect, there is the log home lending part of the equation. Speaking for myself as a log home dealer, I have a relationship with a couple of local lending sources. They know my product, my builders and our building system. The relationship I have with them has been developed over a decade. As we all know, the current lending situation isn't the easiest to work in. The bigger the lender the harder it is to get anything done so the local sources are becoming more important. Beyond the log home package and prices there is the service being provided from start to finish. That includes site visits, help in planning, builder support and lending contacts. Does the log home company or companies you are working with offer all of that for where you are going to build? Make sure you ask, it'll make the process alot easier on you.
