Dan Milar from Gordon Milar Construction discusses “The Modern Murray Perch” in the Salt Lake Parade of Homes. Gordon Milar Construction is a family-owned business and a premier custom home builder in northern Utah. The team enjoys establishing and maintaining long-term relationships with clients and industry partners. Building Custom Homes In Utah County Gordon Milar builds between 30 and 40 custom homes each year. Every one of their homes is custom built for their client and to fit the property. Gordon Milar, who founded the custom home building company, had been frustrated with the lack of flexibility with home building. As a result, he built Gordon Milar Construction to be flexible enough to build on any of their client's choices, and because of their home building niche, they've built on quite a few challenging lots. Designing Homes with a View On their latest custom home build, they needed to find a solution for building a client's home, which had a 25-foot drop on one side of the property. “We wanted the home to sit on the high side to capture the views and design the yard to work nicely.” The home is perched on a hill in Murray, featuring views on the side of the house. “The other complex challenge with this lot is that it's a fairly shallow lot front to back.” The team needed to be aware of the depth of the home design and had to use the side yard for terracing and the basement area.

Kristen Mortensen became the first female president of the Salt Lake Home Builders Association shortly before the housing crash in 2008. Now, she's a partner in Goldcrest Homes and is coming up on having worked on 1000 homes. Goldcrest Homes has a passion for building with women in mind, as women are driving 80% of home sales and are typically managing the house day-to-day. In this episode, she talks about her experience as a woman in a male-dominated industry and Goldcrest Homes' showcase for the Parade of Homes. A Nest With Surprises The Goldcrest Homes' showcase for the Parade of Homes is called "The Lofty Nest." Kristen describes it as a comfortable, fun house, a nest with some surprises.' The two-story house has high ceilings, a loft study area, and an ordinance-compliant accessory dwelling unit in the basement, which allows leasing of the bottom one-bedroom apartment, a highly sought-after feature. Listen in to learn more about Goldcrest Homes, their current and upcoming communities in Utah, and more features of "The Lofty Nest." Following Through as a Contractor in Utah Kristen was always intrigued by the home-building process and inquired about how to enter the industry in college. She was encouraged to become a teacher, which she did until she had an opportunity to finish a house. Kristen found out there was no magic to the process; it took hard work, following through, and planning. Kristen recounts that she never felt intimidated as a woman in general contracting and that the tradespeople she's worked with over the years have been welcoming. She knows a little about many things, having learned from plumbers, electricians, roofers, and more. She's glad to see that women can now go to school for construction management and that more women are finding careers in construction. Utah Building With Women in Mind Goldcrest Homes' goal is to help "build a lovely nest for your flock." The company has a passion for building with women in mind, as statistics show that women drive 80% of home sales. Typically, women are more concerned with family planning, upgrading, and house management. As a company, they pay attention to a home's exterior curb appeal and practical interior use. Building a place that is functional as well as attractive is one of Goldcrest's top qualities. The post The Lofty Nest | Salt Lake Parade of Homes appeared first on Utah Real Estate Podcast.
Sean and Ashley Michaelis are the dynamic husband-wife duo behind Michaelis Homes. Sean is the contractor, and Ashley is the designer and realtor. They have three boys between the ages of 1 and 5 and have been flipping homes since 2017. They're debuting “The Crestwood” for their first home parade to showcase. The Crestwood House Journey Sean and Ashley learned many things about the Crestwood house's story and became close with the family who sold it. The house was originally built in the 1970s, and the couple who owned it raised 7 kids. Sean and Ashley's work was cut out for them: it had 9 different types of carpet, many DIY projects, and a few years of neglect as the owners aged. Sean and Ashley bought the house with the intent to flip and sell but ended up falling in love. They had worked on three other houses on the same street and already loved the neighborhood and the house's amazing views. Sean and Ashley are excited to finally be experiencing what their clients do. Listeners can see the before and after pictures of the Crestwood House journey on the Michaelis' website. A Unique Remodeling Style Ashley has a great eye for design and could see incredible potential in this new property. They capitalized on the mid-century style, keeping much of the house's natural charm while also bringing in an updated, modern feel. Ashley enjoys a style she calls ‘Utah modern,' tying in geographical locations and color palettes into something that is uniquely Utah. Finding a Home with History Sean and Ashley's love for their new house comes from its story. The previous owners had been older and unable to take care of the house as they wanted, and Sean and Ashley were eager to buy it. The owners' kids were very involved in the buying process, and Sean and Ashley soon became close with the entire family. While it was a struggle to get all the materials they wanted, Sean and Ashley staged a viewing for the family around Christmas so that they could see what they had done with the house. They described it as very emotional, as the family was saying goodbye but also seeing the new life breathed into their childhood home. The owners' kids and grandkids could see Sean and Ashley's work and know they made the right choice in trusting them to remodel. Listen in to hear more about how the Michaelis couple incorporated the state of Utah into their homes, how they grew their business together, and more about “The Crestwood.” The post The Crestwood | Salt Lake Parade of Homes appeared first on Utah Real Estate Podcast.
The Utah Real Estate Podcast is thrilled to present a mini-series about the Salt Lake Parade of Homes. Listeners will be able to peek behind the curtain and hear from the builders how their floorplans came to life. To kick off this mini-series, we have the Director of the Parade of Homes, Lindie Davis, and the Executive Officer of the Salt Lake Home Builders Association, Jaren Davis. They will be sharing with us about last year's parade and what makes 2022 unlike any other in the past, from a custom skatepark house to a downtown penthouse. Witnessing the Parade's Growing Success Last year was the Salt Lake Parade of Homes' most successful parade in 75 years, thanks to Lindie. She increased awareness through social media and collaborated with Utah's top influencers. She also single-handedly doubled the parade's numbers by going door-to-door, informing owners of the benefit of having their homes in the parade. She is, in Jaren's words, "a rare talent." This year, Lindie wanted to see people bring their unique designs to the parade. For Lindie, Jumping into the organization was daunting and tiring, but it has been gratifying and rewarding to see the parade come together in August. Advocating for the Community The Salt Lake Parade of Homes has a group of volunteers who meet monthly to prepare for the parade. To be featured in the parade, you must be a member of the association. Applications can be submitted at the end of August, which the committee of volunteers will look over and accept. The Salt Lake Parade of Homes committee prides itself on being craftsmen who care about the community. Their volunteers are "the best of the best" and are serious about being an association that advocates opportunities in housing. Associations like theirs help keep housing prices down and always eye what's best for the community. Improving Living Conditions Everywhere The Salt Lake Parade of Homes was the first of its kind and is still a great way to promote the industry. The parade is open from Jul 29 to Aug 13, 2022. Houses are available to tour Tues-Sat from 12 pm-9 pm. According to Jaren and Lindie, it's a welcoming environment, as the builders and tradespeople on site are happy to talk about their work. The Salt Lake Parade of Homes owes much to its sponsors, such as Mountain America Credit Union and the Salt Lake Board of Realtors, who help make the parade a reality every year. Listen in to learn how the Salt Lake Parade of Homes advocates for housing affordability, the housing market and media, and what memberships the association offers.

Ben Hart is the Deputy Director at the Utah Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity. One question Ben is asked the most is, why are we still trying to grow and attract people into the state? The answer is because we want to keep your kids and grandkids here. He explains that with each graduating class, we lose many people to more lucrative out-of-state opportunities, but by aggressively bringing in new businesses and growing pre-existing ones, Utah can maintain economic inertia.

This past year alone, St. George has added a whopping 10,000 new residents! For the size of St. George, that's a significant growth factor.

All you listeners have heard the Silver Dollar Man complain about how Utah is lacking in water, unlike his beloved East Coast. Linda Townes Cook, Public Information Manager with the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, has over thirty years of experience with water. Her job seeks to make the best use of available water through development, conservation, or servicing the Salt Lake County area. Why Water is Important to Utahns Water directly affects the state's growth. How land is developed in the future will determine how much water there is, and if Utah ran out of water sources, development would stop completely. The Jordan Valley Water Conservancy plans 50 years into the future, as it would take as long to acquire a new water source. The good news is, Utah's not about to run out of drinking water anytime soon, as 60% of drinking water goes into watering lawns. With such a large portion of water going to a non-essential source, Linda isn't worried about going thirsty, even in the second driest state. However, the battle for water conservation largely depends on landscaping. The post Linda Townes Cook appeared first on Utah Real Estate Podcast.

As we look forward to the future of the beehive state, one of the concerns in Utah with the significant increase in population is transportation. Elizabeth McMillan is the Communications Director at the Utah Department of Transportation, also known as UDOT. She talks about the possible transportation solutions for Utah's growing population. The Mission of UDOT Elizabeth is excited to work in UDOT at this time. “We can be creative about what we explore, technology, human happiness and how the human experience relates to transportation.” Her job is to find out how they can use transportation to maximize and enhance their quality of life. Utah Traffic Issues There are several traffic issues UDOT is looking to solve for Utah drivers. First, they are trying to improve delays in car traffic on the highways and in the Wasatch front. “We need to optimize what we have as best we can” since UDOT can't put in any new highways in the state because of the geography constraints. Their goal is to enhance roadways by building overpasses and similar solutions instead of buying a bunch of land in communities to build new roads. “We want that excellent quality of life and paving over neighborhoods and communities isn't what we want.” The post Elizabeth McMillan | (UDOT) Utah Department of Transportation appeared first on Utah Real Estate Podcast.

Walter Cronkite said, “In seeking truth you have to get both sides of a story.” So to bring you both sides of the gondola, we will be chatting about some of the concerns in opposition to the Gondola project in Little Cottonwood canyon. Emily Pitsch is part of the Students for the Wasatch Group. She is receiving her Ph.D. in Biochemistry at the University of Utah, and she moved to the Beehive state because of her love of the mountains. Discover her side of this project and why she is opposed to the gondola built in the canyon. The post Emily Pitsch | Anti Gondola appeared first on Utah Real Estate Podcast.
With over 7,000 cars driving through this small canyon, Little Cottonwood receives traffic from outdoor enthusiasts and locals who live and work in and around the canyon. Building and using a gondola in the canyon would not only relieve much of the car traffic but would also provide secondary emergency access to the canyon. Chris McCandless, founder of The Gondola Works, shares that something needs to be done about the increased traffic in the mountains.

Our podcast producer Steph Shoell just signed for her first house. Steph started the process in December of 2018 and about a month later she was under contract for a townhouse in Bountiful.

You may be surprised to find out that a home inspection is not required in Utah! Although this process is not a must-do for homeowners, Harmony suggests having an inspection. “This is typically the largest investment of your life.” You want to make sure your home is safe for your family and understand what significant repairs, if any, will need to be made in the near future. Issues such as radon, meth, and other requirements that pop up as a surprise during the selling of a home can prolong the selling process.

Anna Parker with Utah Key Real Estate shares what to do when you have lost your dream home. She says, “Looking for a house is like dating and when it doesn't work out, it's usually for the best.” She believes if the home is meant to be yours, then it will. If not, then you'll find a home that is better suited to your needs. “Your house always chooses you. When you walk into homes you think will be the one, then there's an energy. Anna says when the energy is there, the buyers get the home. She had the same experience with the home she now lives in. Anna had looked at the house a hundred times, but she immediately fell in love when she walked into the home with her husband.

Matt Ulrich, president of the Salt Lake Board of Realtors discusses the guidelines and how to apply for the board's 2021 grants. Depending on what type of first-time home buyer grant you receive, you can get many different kinds of loans.

To educate us about the backup strategy, we have Bobby Wakeland with Summit Sotheby's International Realty. There's a primary purchaser of the property, and the backup offer is a contractual agreement for buyer #2. If the first buyer backs out, your request is next in line to be accepted. Also, you'll see information about multiple offers. Unlike multiple offers, realtors will solicit backup offers once a primary offer is in place. Your real estate agent should ask to take a backup offer if you plan on buying a home that already has a primary bid. It's an excellent strategy to grab your dream property if the initial offer falls through for whatever reason. What's best, there's no limit to the number of back-up offers you place. Depending on your contingencies and how you set up your contract, you can have two or three properties under contract on the same day. The backup offer puts you in a better position of buying a house that you're interested in. The post Bobby Wakeland | Backup Offer appeared first on Utah Real Estate Podcast.
Ann Atkin owner of Meth Mob, promotes education on methamphetamine contamination in homes. Ann encourages Utah realtors to protect their clients by suggesting meth testing before purchasing a home. Most homes that are meth houses are not production homes, they are owned by retirees. Grandpa and grandma's homes are the biggest offenders because grandparents will often host grandchildren and their friends. "They've got the room; they are loving and trusting." Every week, she deals with meth decontamination, with most of her business coming from homeowners who have had guests smoking meth inside their home. Ann recommends extensive testing,” I don't care if Meth Mob was in your home two weeks ago, test every house, every time!” The #1 user of meth in Utah is a white mother, and the #2 users are construction workers. “What house hasn't had either of these users in them?” The post Ann Atkin | Your House Tested Positive for Meth appeared first on Utah Real Estate Podcast.
