Riverside Homes Custom is Northeast Florida’s Southern Living Preferred Builder
There are always those moments in life, you’ll never forget. For our team at Riverside Homes Custom, it was the day we received the call that we were selected to build the Southern Living Idea House. “I remember thinking after we received that call, this is an opportunity of a lifetime and an opportunity to really show the world what this local Jacksonville-based company is all about,” said Matt Birdwell, President of Riverside Homes Custom Division, “At that moment, we knew we had just been casted into the international spotlight that comes with being associated and published in Southern Living Magazine.”
But how does international exposure translate to a benefit to our local homebuyers? Besides the fact that Riverside Homes Custom was featured on the cover and in a 23-page spread in the August issue of Southern Living Magazine with the words “BEST IDEA HOUSE EVER” at the top of the magazine cover… we can tell you exactly how Northeast Florida homebuyers benefit.
Southern Living is a name synonymous with timeless style, stunning images and quality products in the pages of their magazine. The Southern Living Idea House is built by a well-vetted and proven home builder. The process of approval is long, rigorous and includes countless interviews with the company. Nearly 30 years ago, Southern Living developed a Southern Living Custom Builder Program. Riverside Homes Custom is part of this esteemed program and is Northeast Florida’s Southern Living Preferred Builder. The home builders in this program are selected but also reviewed annually by building trade partners and consumers on:
- Reputation in the market
- Strength in the market
- Financial stability
- Customer service
- Reviews
“This program is about connecting people who want their homes to have a distinctly Southern feel to builders who can provide them,” shared Kristen Bryan, Director of Marketing at Southern Living, “We selected Riverside Homes Custom because we knew the company would be able to bring high quality Southern homes to Northeast Florida. Riverside Homes Custom holds a deep appreciation for building homes that families will love from generation to generation.” Riverside Homes Custom was chosen to build the Southern Living Idea House on Crane Island based on our craftsmanship, excellence in architecture and home building. But what continues to bring value to the Northeast Florida community is that Riverside Homes Custom is also Northeast Florida’s Southern Living Preferred Builder! Your IDEA HOUSE might not be 7,000 square feet on Crane Island like the Southern Living Idea House. But no matter what your idea house is, our team at Riverside Homes Custom is proven and ready to build it!
