Having lived on the Surf Coast for the past 40 years, they\u2019ve provided long-term employment opportunities, built hundreds of homes and offered expert advice which simply can\u2019t be matched.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving raised our family here we know how important it is to develop great relationships with our clients and provide them with exceptional customer service,\u201d Peter said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe it\u2019s vital to support the community wherever we can, we love seeing it thrive which is why we\u2019re the proud sponsors of a number of local football and netball clubs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team pride themselves on their local area knowledge, extensive customer care and quality craftmanship.<\/p>\n<p>They only use local trades and suppliers, where possible, and are committed to helping the community grow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone who works on our homes understands the local area, which we believe is a huge benefit. We know how to deliver what our clients need and have the flexibility to tailor our designs,\u201d Peter said.<\/p>\n<p>Peter and Kerri are passionate about building energy efficient homes, and are even taking active measures to reduce their impact on the environment.<\/p>\n<p>An example of this can be seen in their exquisite Esplanade 260 display home, which is located at 5 Rosser Boulevard in Torquay.<\/p>\n<p>The coastal inspired double storey home boasts three spacious bedrooms and an open-plan kitchen, family and dining area. Ideally located in the picturesque Quay 2 estate, it doesn\u2019t just showcase a beautiful design, it was also created with energy efficiency in mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was really important for us to reduce our carbon footprint. That\u2019s why we installed sustainable appliances including a Tesla Powerwall which allows us to take advantage of natural energy,\u201d Peter said.<\/p>\n<p>Hotondo Homes in Torquay have sweetened the deal and are offering even more value for money. For a limited<br \/>\ntime only at no extra cost, you can select one of their premium $10,000 packages and choose between a kitchen or flooring upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>Specialising in single and double storey homes, knockdown rebuilds, split level solutions, and acreage properties, the team are passionate about working with each client to ensure their dream home matches their individual lifestyle, needs and budget.<\/p>\n<p>With more than 90 flexible floor plans to choose from, there\u2019s something for everyone whether you\u2019re looking for your first home, investment property or dream home.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s never been a better time to build with Hotondo Homes, start your journey today by speaking to local area expert Peter Walker on 0434 730 962 or head to hotondo.com.au to find out more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Building a dream home can be one of the largest emotional and financial decisions a person will ever make and finding the right person to complete the job can be a daunting task.
