Living in a small town like Steamboat Springs, it’s not uncommon to bump into people you know at the grocery store, on the trail, or in the lift line. The other day, a small town conversation with local realtor Bobby Aldighieri led to an aha moment. He was sharing a story of how he used his connection with SmartPads to help nudge along a land sale.

Bobby’s energetic and passionate demeanor compliments his drive for excellence, and is what helped him as a former Olympian as well as Olympic coach. He’s parlayed that drive for excellence into a real estate career in Steamboat Springs. We know Bobby from back in his coaching days up to working alongside him with real estate transactions. He’s a friend and a fan of SmartPads, and his story prompted us to write this blog post on how to connect a potential land purchaser with the SmartPads in order to close a land or lot sale. Bobby shared with us how he’s doing this.

It’s simple, but powerful.

You help your clients see what’s next.

It’s a lot to think through all the steps to building a home, and mountain towns have their own set of unique challenges. Introducing them to SmartPads can help them see the possibility. Between the tools we’ve created to help people plan to the in-depth information educating them about modular and prefabricated construction, we have a lot of resources to help them see the steps ahead.

You give them hope.

It’s daunting to build, especially from afar. Showing them there is a more simple way to get the right home without compromising on quality and style gives them hope. SmartPads is a logical way to go, but logic doesn’t have to mean sacrificing on aesthetics and quality.

You ease their concerns about skyrocketing costs.

Fixed cost? Unheard of, right? Nope. Not here. While we really light up at creating custom design-build homes that fully maximize a piece of land, the views, and the owner’s vision, all those gorgeous homes are offered at a discount once we’ve built the first one. The cost of the mods is set once they sign a contract. There aren’t any snowstorms inside our facility to get in the way of getting that home built on time and for the price we agreed upon.

You help them decide on the right piece of land.

You’re educating your client along the way as to the benefits of different lot layouts and locations. We can help with resources we’ve put together to help our clients choose the right piece of property to minimize cost and hassle for setting their mods.

You allow them to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Don’t let the feelings of being overwhelmed get in the way of the sale. Our process is efficient and streamlined. We built this company knowing there had to be a better way, and we know our clients are busy people who would much rather be out skiing or fishing than choosing faucets for the 11th time in 11 weeks.

You introduce them to a pragmatic tribe filled with passionate dreamers that believes practicality and stunning aesthetics belong in the same sentence.

Here’s the deal. We love building cool shit. And we love working with cool people who are excited about that cool shit! We get excited about window heights and roof angles, and love seeing our clients faces when they first walk through their home on set day.

Subject: Introduction to SmartPads

Dear [Client’s Name],

I hope this email finds you well. As we embark on the exciting journey of finding the perfect piece of land in [insert your town or county], I wanted to introduce you to a company who can be a valuable partner in making your dream home a reality.

Allow me to introduce you to SmartPads. This Steamboat Springs based company offers a unique and innovative solution for luxury home construction in mountain towns using modular construction.. The founders saw a better way to build in the mountains and created a company to craft homes efficiently with a distinct look and feel that harmonize with mountain living. They have a passion for building homes that combine function with sophistication.

Here’s how the SmartPads team can make a difference for you:

What’s Next: How do you get from vacant lot to dream home? It’s easy. Find a current design you love on their website, customize it as needed to work for your piece of property, and get started! Or, if you dream of a custom home, you’ll love their unique process of designing custom homes using modular construction. SmartPads combined the best aspects of modular construction for an efficient build with a keen understanding of engineering for the rigors of a mountain climate as well as designing for a mountain lifestyle.

There’s Hope: Building from afar? How do you navigating the complexities of mountain home construction? GC’s are booked for years out for custom builds? The SmartPads process condenses so many of the decisions into an efficient process with a tailored approach. With shorter build times and less onsite work required you can start to see the reality of your home within reach. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Skyrocketing Costs: The reality is that building a home in a mountain town is more expensive than other places. SmartPads provides fixed cost options for the modular home build. Dreaming of custom? There is also the opportunity to collaborate with their team to create a custom design-build home in a practical approach to maximize your dollars.

Land Selection: Choosing the right piece of land is crucial for your build budget. I can provide insights, but Katie and her team have some great resources to share that will ensure that the land you select aligns perfectly with your vision and requirements.

I highly recommend checking out their current design options as well as what they offer for custom design build homes. If you are ready to dig in deeper, I would be happy to provide an introduction. I’m confident that we’ll find the right piece of property for you, and with SmartPads by your side, your vision of a mountain home will soon become a reality.

Looking forward to the journey ahead.
