Here are some answers to the most common questions we are asked. If you’re wondering about something not covered here, contact us for more information!
Q

What’s the main difference between Bishard Homes and its competition?

A

Bishard Homes is a home developer whose mission is, and always has been, to honor God by providing an exceptional buying experience that exhibits team excellence, conscience and care. We have held fast to this mission for more than 20 years and pride ourselves on creating high-quality homes, hand-crafted with the finest care.  We call it The Bishard Difference!


Q

I have land or a lot in mind, and would like to have a Bishard home built. How long is this process and what will the process look like?

A

We estimate construction time taking anywhere from 90-120 days after your contract is ratified.  Please note that all construction dates are estimated to the best of our ability, but are not guaranteed.  We do our best to provide an accurate timeframe, but construction can be affected by many factors that are not always controllable.  If you'd like to learn more about our construction process, or if you’re ready to get started, please contact Josh Kinas, Business Development Manager, at  jkinas@bishardhomes.com or (757) 679-2999.

Q

Do I need a Buyer’s Real Estate Agent to Buy from Bishard Homes?

A

Buyer’s agents are welcome, though not necessary, with Bishard Homes.  To get started, with or without a Buyer’s agent, please contact Josh Kinas, Business Development Manager, at  jkinas@bishardhomes.com or (757) 679-2999.

Q

What is the difference between buying in a neighborhood versus a stand-alone home?

A

There are great benefits in either situation, depending on your wants, needs and family situation. Our neighborhoods offer a great community feel, many of which include communal parks or other outdoor areas, great for kids or adults of all ages. All of our stand-alone or small groupings of homes are located in prime locations, many of which are just blocks from the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. These homes are great options for empty nesters, small families, or those who don’t necessarily need the neighborhood feel. Start exploring our homes today to find which one is right for you.

Q

How does Bishard Homes serve the local community?

A

Because we are a company that strives to honor God in all we do, we are dedicated to service. We believe that we are not only building homes, but building a community. To learn more about the organizations we partner with to bring this vision to life, see our Community Involvement page.

Q

Do you offer custom home building services or are all of your homes sold move-in ready?

A

Bishard Homes does not build custom homes, but we DO have options for buyers wishing to channel their own personal style. We love working with buyers to figure out which of our floorplans will work best for them, making adjustments to fit unique needs, and allowing color selections to be made throughout the design process.

Q

What kind of warranty do you offer?

A

Each Bishard home comes with a 1-year warranty, as required by the State of Virginia.

Q

I want to buy a Bishard home and I’ve been pre-approved for a loan. Where do I go from here?
