Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes of Austin is honored to be recognized as the the 2013 Custom Home Builder of the Year by the Austin Business Journal at its annual Residential Real Estate Awards event. Each year the Austin Business Journal (ABJ) hosts this award ceremony honoring the 50 Top Residential Real Estate Agents, Custom Home Builders, Production Home Builders, Green Builders, and Master-Planned Communities. The Austin Business Journal recognized Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes for providing award-winning home designs, successful use of technology and their relentless dedication to their clients, as well as being an important community partner. The Journal noted Zbranek & Holt’s strength as an industry leader with over $14Million in annual sales volume last year and their very successful business model of only building pre-sold custom homes. Since the do not own land or build unsold speculative homes, they are able to secure the company’s financial future indefinitely as they are debt free. Additionally, the Journal credited their adaptive ability to suit a growing number of clients who live in other cities and states during the construction of their new Austin area homes. This customization has enabled long distance relocating clients to better enjoy the process as they stay fully connected to their project from other cities. Founder, Steve Zbranek stated “Our goal is to make the homebuilding process as fun and stress-free, for our clients, as we possibly can. Whether folks are living here during construction or building their home from another city, we truly understand that building a home from scratch can be a fun and creative process, but also an incredibly stressful event. For that reason we have worked tirelessly over the past seven years to adjust our model and improve the customer experience throughout construction. This has resulted in highly satisfied clients who compliment our process and would build with us again
