In today’s soft home building market, Unmistakably Premier Homes is offering tremendous savings—and customization is a part of every package.

The dream of home ownership is alive and well, even in these uncertain economic times,” says Stephen Kovack, president of Unmistakably Premier Homes, the area’s largest locally owned home building company.

“All of the economic fundamentals show that today is a good time to buy a home. As a first time buyer, you can take advantage of some of the lowest prices in years, even as rents continue to rise. And if you’re trading up, it’s always better to do so in a buyer’s market, like the one we’re in now. While the value of your starter house may have fallen, the price of the higher-end home you’d really love to own has also dropped. The net result is savings.”

Recently, with the help of their suppliers and subcontractors, Unmistakably Premier Homes has reduced the price of its new homes by over $30,000. Right now you can move into in a brand new home, in some of the most exciting, fully planned communities in Northeast Ohio. In fact, single family Unmistakably Premier Homes are currently priced from $150,000.

“We have the best subcontractors in the business,” assures Steve. “They’ve partnered with us to keep our prices at the level needed to make homes affordable. They have a commitment to the quality that we share. Many are Amish. And because we build so many homes, we keep our craftspeople busy and our material costs are lower. Everyone wins.”

Today you can purchase a two-story, 1,400-square-foot home with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a full basement, two-car attached garage, and oak trim throughout in Brunswick’s Laurel Glen from $154,900. The same home can be built in Medina’s Dover Highlands for $146,900. “And you can move in quickly,” adds Steve. “Or you can select a lot in one of our ten communities and start the building process from scratch.”

For most large-volume builders, customers choose from a given number of floor plans—and that’s it. No changes. Changes equate to custom building, a job that many builders will walk away from. Steve encourages it.

“We have many floor plans for clients to choose from,” he explains, “but you’re free to make changes. Plus, if you have your own plans, that’s okay, too.

Unmistakably Premier Homes offers a complete Design Center where customers choose everything for their new home—from siding to shingles and faucets to counter tops. He’s even designed lighting packages that give clients plenty of options without overwhelming them.

“We all love the flexibility of customization,” adds Steve, “but when you have to choose 30 light fixtures for a home, it can be daunting. Our Design Center makes the selection process easier without sacrificing a high level of customization. Plus we continually update our home designs, so with Premier you really do get ‘the latest and greatest’ in style. We offer 9-foot ceilings, more paint choices, and vessel sinks as standard features.”
Steve says he’s been surprised by how many people are choosing to build ranch style homes these days. “Let’s face it,” he says laughing, “baby boomers are aging and stairs are not fun anymore. We find that younger people want a two-story; middle aged families want a two-story, but with a first floor master suite so the teenagers can travel the stairs and leave their parents alone; and seniors want a ranch to maximize easy access.”

Steve adds that these homes are often built in the same development. “It feels good,” he says. “Families of all ages and descriptions are moving into the same developments. Our communities feature walking trails, play areas, clubhouse and other amenities that bring neighbors together.”

Although Steve specializes in affordable homes, he can also build the magnificent custom showcases. Premier is building spectacular homes in Strongsville’s Avery Walden with prices starting in the $400,000s.
Steve founded Unmistakably Premier Homes over 20 years ago with a basic company mission: build a solid home using high-quality materials, price it affordably and then back it with outstanding customer service. Steadfastly following this mission became Premier’s formula for success. He is proud that his company is the area’s largest locally owned homebuilder and one who builds exclusively in Northeast Ohio.

“Unmistakably Premier believes in the tremendous potential of this area, and is committed to the continued growth of the region.” They not only build within a 3-county region, but Steve and all Premier employees also live and work right there. “My family has been involved in the local real estate industry for over 40 years,” Steve says proudly. “We know it’s important to be a part of the area we build in, and are proud to call Northeastern Ohio home. National builders can come in and out of markets so quickly because they aren’t vested in the area. We’re not going anywhere.”

And Steve has been through a volatile market like this before. “Housing markets, like all markets, inevitably have their ups and downs,” he says. “But homeownership has a track record that is virtually unmatched by any other purchase in terms of its real benefits. In the long run, it is still one of the best investments a family can make.”

Now that’s a dream come true.
