younger sister. The projects we build on a yearly basis now include starter homes all the way up to one-of-a-kind, luxury custom homes. After I found myself wanting to control more of the process - that’s when I went into land development.” “At this point, we’re what you would call a builder/developer,” Tanner continues. “We take the raw land, we complete all engineering, build the streets, and we save the lots for ourselves. We don’t sell any lots to other builders. All the neighborhoods are proprietary - where we have complete architectural and quality control, which helps home values in the area. That all began in 1986 with the first neighborhood. Over the past few decades, RJ would build those up, finish them, and start another one. Now, we have three neigh- borhoods with homes of various price ranges and sizes. Our projects are solely in Wichita Falls and the surrounding Texoma area in the north Texas region near the Oklahoma border.” In addition to those three neighborhoods – Southfork, where houses range from the mid-to- upper-$200Ks; Starwood– from the low $300Ks; and Lake Wellington Estates – from the upper $300Ks; plans are already underway to start an- other one: Trophy Park in southwest Wichita Falls. RJ adds that if a customer has a lot, or wants to build on a lot in a different neighborhood, or out in the countryside, or on some lake frontage, the company will build there, as well. “It all depends on the project size and requirements,” he ex- plains. The company also builds spec homes. “And, what sometimes begins as a spec home may not RJ WACHSMAN HOMES stay a spec home,” RJ says. “We let people view home floor plans and the properties before they’ve reached complete fruition, and if they want to enter into contract on a particular home at whatever stage it’s at, they can potentially come in and make it their own, so to speak.” As a builder of anywhere from 25 to 50 homes a year, Tanner says that what differentiates RJ Wachsman Homes is the company’s attention to detail. “We’re not a large area builder, but we’re hands-on and intimately part of the projects,” he states. “We are at a level of production where we can have that close oversight of each home and each project from the foundation through the final touches. It’s a very personal, intimate, family-centric experience.We’re not afraid to get dirty; we work through challenges as they arise We let people view home floor plans and the prop- erties before they’ve reached complete fruition, and if they want to enter into contract on a particu- lar home at whatever stage it’s at, they can potentially come in and make it their own, so to speak.
