Who's Who in America Doug Leavitt

HOME BUILDING COACH

As your Building Coach, Doug can save you TIME and MONEY.

Building or remodeling your own home without guidance can lead to mistakes that are costly to your time, wallet, and quality of your home. Doug provides access to his buying accounts for professional discounts on materials, shows you how to cut costs without cutting values, and helps you avoid pitfalls and headaches.

New home builders charge clients a 20-30% markup and 50% on extras and change orders, so even if you were able to hire a builder that charged a minimum markup of 15%, you are paying a builder $15,000 on a $100,000 house and well over $30,000 for a $200,000 house. For only 3-4 months of work!

By working with Doug, that money can stay in your pocket. Every cost you spend on your home will come directly to contractors or vendors, with no middle man. And no mark ups! You pay EXACTLY what builders pay.

Doug has the contacts, the respect of the contractors, and knowledge of where and who can give you the best deals and quality for the price.

As your Home Building Coach, Doug gives you RESOURCES and KNOWLEDGE.
