Anchorage and Eagle River are military towns. We love what veterans, active service members and military families bring to our communities. Spinell Homes has a proud history of supporting our service men and women. We believe in building a strong community and military members play an important role in our neighborhoods. They’re members of our schools, organizations and businesses. We want to make it easier for these families to own a home they love. In partnership with our trusted lender Residential Mortgage , we’re offering loan options that don’t require large down payments. Working with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Spinell Homes is excited to help veterans get into a home for as little as $100. Homeownership is more cost-effective than renting. But one of the biggest obstacles is saving money for a down payment. With a VA Home Loan, veterans and active service members can purchase a home with zero down payment and as little as $100 on closing costs on select move-in ready homes. Residential Mortgage will give a $1,500 lender credit and Spinell Homes covers the rest. Working with our trusted lender, Residential Mortgage , we hope to invest in the success of communities by helping our vets invest in their dream homes. If you’re a military family or vet looking for a new home, we have several new houses available near base, with lots of other military families in the area.

Deck the Halls & Win!

Picture opening the door to your perfect home. The finishes reflect your personality. The space suits your lifestyle. The location provides peace. If you’re a homebuyer, the ideal home can feel out of reach. Shopping for existing homes can mean making sacrifices. Perhaps the location is great but the home needs renovations. Or maybe the home feels just right but it's located in the wrong part of town. New construction is your best shot at creating the home of your dreams. If you’ve never been through the building process, it can seem overwhelming. But at Spinell Homes, we’re here to make the process fun, easy and extremely rewarding. If you’re interested in building, give me a call. I’ll walk you through what you can afford and expect. You’ll need to come prepared with information about your budget, lifestyle, and home wants and needs. Bring any questions that you have and our team of experts will happily answer them. By setting these expectations upfront and having an open conversation, it kicks off a great relationship from the start. Next, it’s time to identify a location and floor plan. If you don’t own a lot, Spinell Homes has numerous available lots. We’ll identify one that works for your budget and family. You’ll then pick a floor plan that maximizes the lot, budget and lifestyle. Often Spinell experts will make adjustments to the plan to customize it for your needs. If you decide to build, it’s now time to secure the financing. Working with Spinell Homes, we’re able to connect you with preferred lenders who can walk you through the process of getting a mortgage. Then a purchase agreement is set in place. Working with Spinell means you avoid getting a construction loan, which is at a much higher interest rate. With a loan and plans in place, the real fun begins. From cabinetry to countertops and siding to sliding glass doors, new construction requires a lot of design decisions. While something like doorknobs seems minor, these little details make a big difference. Luckily, you don’t have to make the selections on your own. Spinell’s design team will help you pick finishes that won’t break the budget and work well in the home. Spinell will also be aware of the materials’ availability, ensuring to order on time and keep the project on track. Building a home is a big project. It comes with a lengthy timeline, a lot of decisions and a large budget. But at Spinell, we’re pros at this process. The company has been building homes for more than 30 years. We understand how to communicate when there’s an obstacle. In addition to getting the keys to your dream home, new construction comes with a lot of other benefits.

Building a home will likely be the biggest and most expensive adventure of your lifetime. Like with any adventure, it’s important to be prepared. Here’s what you need to know to have a fun and successful build.  Pick the Perfect Partner New construction requires a lot of decisions, but choosing a builder is arguably the most important one. This partnership will set the tone for the entire project. Be sure to do your homework. At Spinell Homes, we encourage you to look at the homes we’ve built, there are thousands out there. You can ask us for references and speak with happy homeowners. Don’t be shy about asking questions and getting answers. A reputable builder like us will be open, upfront and honest. Starting the relationship with good communication will make the entire process easier. Know the Numbers Sticking to a budget can be one of the most difficult tasks if you don’t pay attention to the numbers. At Spinell Homes, we’ll keep you on track. Once a budget is set, we’ll show you finishes and plans within your budget. Transparency and planning for every penny mean avoiding surprises. Trendy vs. Timeless New construction is your opportunity to design the house of your dreams. It should reflect your unique personality and passions. Add room for the mud room you’ve always wanted or set aside space for a wine cellar. Building is a chance to create something fitting for your family. However, while you may intend for this to be your forever home, it’s never a bad idea to think about resale. Life and plans change. It’s important to balance making it your own now, with the potential for selling in the future. This balance should be applied to home design. Try to blend trendy with timeless. Think about the features that are easier to change. For example, flooring, wall colors and lighting fixtures could be swapped if they go out of style. While siding, floor plans and kitchen cabinets involve more time and money. Be Prepared for Setbacks Building a new construction home is a long process that involves a lot of moving pieces. Unfortunately, there will likely be some obstacles along the way. Understanding that it’s not all smooth sailing will make it easier to deal with difficulties when the time comes. With over 30 years in the building industry, we know how to navigate every possible problem. Whether it’s a weather delay or materials on backorder, try to handle these setbacks with the knowledge that the problems will pass. Enjoy the Process Getting the keys to your home is an amazing feeling but if you race to the finish line you’ll miss enjoying the journey. Working with Spinell Homes ensures a stress-free and enjoyable process. While you walk through the framing, picture how the rooms will host your family during the holidays. As you pick out the finishes, think of the memories they’ll help make. From plans to final product, building a home with Spinell is the adventure of a lifetime.
