Real words from Navigate homeowners about the experience of building, buying and settling into their homes.
Navigate Homes built our dream retirement home, and did an incredible job. From the very beginning with the purchase of our lot, through the entire design and build process, everyone we worked with at Navigate was awesome! From the moment we met Joe Hughes and his entire team, the process was seamless. Nate was especially great to work through the entire building process. He was so patient and helpful with all the decisions we had to make! We’ve been in our home for over a year, and have had zero problems. Navigate Homes built us a beautiful, well-built home! We love it and will recommend Navigate without reservation!
Cathy R. · Navigate Homeowner
Excellent experience working with Navigate. Their team was extremely patient, prompt, and knowledgeable when asked many many questions, starting with the first open house visit with David. This new home is well built and truly was move in ready at closing. Navigate has checked in frequently after the move to ensure new home issues were taken care of, which were very few – wall ding, missing lightbulb, and a hole in a screen (courtesy of a wild turkey visit!) Highly recommend David Vahle and his team.
Susan L. · Navigate Homeowner
Navigate has been wonderful to work with through the process of buying my first home. Issues that I encountered during my initial walk-through’s and provided to David were promptly resolved, and the whole Navigate team and their sub-contractors were always patient and professional.
