Almost every customer who walks through our doors has a house to sell. Consequently, often times our buyers are initially under the false pretense that they can’t buy a new house until they sell their current house. If liquidity isn’t a concern, it is the fear of being stuck with two mortgages if their current home doesn’t sell before their new home is ready.
Through the combination of special construction to permanent financing programs and our Forty West Certified Realtor program, we can put your mind at ease. With a core concentration in the first and second time move-up market, we have made it a practice to not only design and build the perfect new home for you but we have developed tools to help you sell your new home fast.
So what exactly is FW Certified? Forty West Certified is a preferred list of experienced Realtors with a proven history and superior reputation. Certified Realtors will help you price your home right, stage your home for a quick sale, market it aggressively and ultimately negotiate the most favorable terms. Better yet, through our strategic partnership with these Realtors, you can save 1.5% on the listing fee when you buy a new Forty West home. This can put thousands of dollars back in your pocket!
Here’s how it works:
Enter a contract with Forty West Builders on your new home
Interview and select one of our Forty West Certified Realtors to sell your existing home
Enjoy a savings equal to 1.5% of the final sales price of your existing home.
For example, if your existing home sold for $500,000 you would save $7500 in Realtor fees.

Refreshing pools, acclaimed golf course, endless walking trails, boutique shops, friendly restaurants, 10 acres of open space, local grocery markets………what more could you want. Forty West is pleased to recently announce the Grand Opening of its latest community, Taylor Preserve at Waverly Woods, where all of these amenities and more can be found within footsteps of your front door.
Situated on the scenic Waverly Woods golf course and conveniently located to Baltimore and Washington DC, Taylor Preserve is a community like no other. With 12 different floor plans to choose from, a dense list of included features second to none and resort style amenities without the hefty price tag, it’s easy to call Taylor Preserve home. Unlike other master planned communities, homeowners at Taylor Preserve aren’t required to pay high HOA fees for benefits they may not maximize. Instead, amenities are optional at the homeowner’s desire. So if it’s pool and tennis for Mom and the kids, and golf for Dad, then each can have it their way.
If you are looking for the ultimate family community within Howard County’s most sought after school district (Waverly Woods ES, Mount View MS, Marriotts Ridge HS), then you owe it to yourself to visit our award winning Breckenridge model at Taylor Preserve. Don’t wait though, we are already halfway sold out. Come see what everyone is talking about. Model open daily 11-6.
Living in the Mid-Atlantic region, you often find that the construction of new homes are dominated by large, national, publicly traded builders. Naturally, these builders have divisions in several major metro areas across the nation, they consolidate buying power, have a stable of the same plans coast to coast and use building practices that best serve their shareholders. So while this model is critical to the economy, it really makes us appreciate that small, local builder who has become an endangered species. These hidden gems are the perfect match for that first or second time move-up buyer who wants personal flair without breaking the bank. For more than 30 years, Forty West has been doing just that!
Some call it custom, some call it semi-production but at Forty West we call it GETTING PERSONAL. That means offering our buyers an array of floor plans we know are structurally sound and designed for today’s living, and then allowing our customers to personalize these floor plans to meet their desires. This can mean moderate changes like converting a first floor study to private in-laws quarters, wholesale changes like closing in a two-story family room and elevating the master bedroom above it, or it can mean cosmetic personalization like visiting a granite warehouse to pick that perfect slab for your kitchen.
Buying your first home is no doubt an unforgettable experience. . . . but in more ways than one. The progressions from that “happy homeowner” stage to the “if we had known” stage to the “in our next house we will” stage are common. So as you search for your next home, don’t forget about the “all the things you wished for in your next house stage” and find a builder who can make your wishes come true. After all, buying a home is a personal decision so make it personal!
With endless sources of data at our fingertips, today’s homebuyers visit our models with a depth of information regarding our homes, included features, competitors, current mortgage rates, property values and more. While some may find this threatening, at Forty West Builders we find it comforting.
Comforting because we know that research will only validate who we are as a builder. A small, customer centric builder, with a proven reputation for constructing the most quality crafted homes in the most desirable neighborhoods.
Sure, that’s marketing jargon that you could hear from one builder to the next but the difference is we want to back it up. So in today’s Web 2.0 info age, our goal is to create an online relationship with you before you enter our doors and to grow that relationship well beyond the delivery of your new home.
So we welcome you to the Forty West Builders Blog or should we say Builder 2.0. A place where you will find all types of valuable information from searching for a new home to living in your new home to maintaining your new home and more. But most important, our blog is designed to be a place where you can peel back the onion and really get to know us. We look forward to your insight and encourage your engagement!
