Buying Land & Building a Custom Home with Curtis Nooyen
<p>Thinking about buying land and building a custom home? This is the conversation you need before you start calling random builders.</p><p>In this episode, I sit down with Curtis Nooyen, a Realtor with the Spotlight Homes team at RE/MAX Platinum, who also works with Dream Home Group, Discovery Dream Homes, and Vermont Timber Frames. We talk through what really happens when someone says, “I want to buy land and build my dream home.” Because here’s the truth: building a custom home is not the same as buying a house in a subdivision. There are permits, zoning issues, engineering, design decisions, builder vetting, material sourcing, timelines, logistics, and about a thousand places where things can go sideways.</p><p><br></p><p>Curtis explains how his role helps bring the pieces together — from finding the right land, to understanding the design process, to coordinating with builders, to helping clients avoid the chaos that often comes with custom construction.</p><p><br></p><p>We also get into: Why buying vacant land is more complicated than people think The difference between cookie-cutter builders and true custom builds Log homes, timber frames, A-frames, chalets, and one-of-a-kind designs. Why the right builder matters so much. How material pricing, logistics, and warranties can protect the client. Why custom home clients need a guide, not just a salesperson. If you’ve ever dreamed about building a home on acreage, creating a legacy property, or doing something completely different from the standard subdivision house, this conversation is a great place to start. </p><p><br></p><p>Have a question about buying land or building a custom home in Michigan?
