Meet The Builders: Holt Homes
Builder Feature: Holt Homes
Let's welcome a brand-new builder to Tehaleh’s freshly thriving neighborhood of Glacier Pointe: Holt Homes! Their well-established reputation for over 40 years in nearby Portland and Southwest Washington continues North as they deliver a customer-first approach in Tehaleh’s neck of the woods.
In a recent interview, Lizzie Levin, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Holt Homes, was excited to share how Holt Homes is bringing their thoughtful PNW builds to hopeful Tehaleh buyers. “We know the landscape, we know the weather,” says Levin. “And all of this helps us select the materials and the partners to build quality lasting homes. We really put the customer at the heart of what we do.”
Tehaleh embodies a simple, but often rare theme: weaving community to the natural landscape. Holt Homes too, delivers this kind of sanctuary, creating living spaces and environments that homeowners can appreciate for years to come. "We really prioritize livability and customer happiness, and that feeds directly into the design of our spaces.”
A window into the PNW
It’s easy to joke about how rainy the Puget Sound can be – it does rain at least once every year – but the beaming summers and seemingly endless bluebird days are quickly eroding a once (poorly) kept secret: the light up here is incredible.
Holt Homes understands the importance of natural light in a Pacific Northwest home throughout the seasons and has become a fierce supporter of bringing light into every home. "We do not skimp on the windows,” Levin says. “A lack of natural light can quite literally affect your mood,” Natural light not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of light shaping the interior, but it also allows for each room to display its natural purpose.
Additionally, Holt Homes formulates its interiors and exteriors to showcase each and every build at its best. For those who love to bring their own eye for design, Holt Homes welcomes the partnership. “When buyers are interested in personalizing their home, they'll receive an overnight stay near our headquarters in the Portland area. They have an opportunity to check out some of our other communities and homes to get inspired before spending a full day with one of our interior and surface designers at Macadam Floor and Design."
The doghouse days are over
Levin highlighted several features designed that encapsulate the finer points of Tehaleh life: covered patios, thoughtful storage space, and yes, even built-in dog washes. “Tehaleh is truly a pet paradise. But we know that they make a mess. They get rained on, they get muddy in the winter, so we've incorporated features in our homes to cater specifically for four-legged family members."
The cartoonish days of the “doghouse” have long since passed and dogs are getting the glow-up they deserve. And thankfully the days of having storage packed to the brim in a dusty attic or basement are leaving as well.
Personalized yet practical
For the buyers keen to put a personal touch on their future home, Levin says that Holt Homes offers a robust portfolio of options and design finishes. And for those who need to move in quickly, Holt also provides move-in ready homes with option selections and finishes hand-picked by professional designers.
"We’ve curated – after years of research and years of homeowner feedback– the options that matter most to buyers.” This approach ensures that buyers can create a home that feels uniquely theirs while maintaining a balance between customization, build timeline and affordability. "Our homes are not cookie-cutter," says Levin, "No two Holt homes are exactly the same, which is something we are really proud of."
The dynamic Holt Homes team
Holt Homes' is not phoning it in and calling up a few contacts in the area to get this next project done. They’re fully moving a team to the Puget Sound to ensure Tehaleh residents get the same customer experience as even a Portland Trailblazers fan. Levin shared that they are relocating senior talent and hiring local professionals to ensure a smooth transition and maintain their high standards. This blend of experienced leadership and local expertise is expected to begin a new era in Holt Homes.
