      Realtor® Partner Program

      Working Together to Build Something Great—With Support That Starts Early

      At Travars Built Homes, we believe in strong partnerships—and we’re committed to supporting both you and your clients throughout the homebuilding journey. That’s why we offer an early commission program for custom home builds. It’s one of the ways we honor your role and the trust you’ve placed in us.

      As a small, family-owned builder with deep roots in central North Carolina, we treat every relationship like it matters—because it does. Whether your client is drawn to one of our presales, building on an available homesite, or bringing their own land, we’re here to walk the path together—with you.

      Our Realtor® Partnership Program is designed to make the experience  seamless, supportive, and rewarding—for everyone involved. With open conversations,  personal builder access, and a commitment to transparency, we do things differently. 

      Custom Homes, Presales, and Early Commission Option

      We value our trusted relationships with buyers’ agents, as we work together to provide an exceptional custom build experience across 12-counties in Chatham, Wake, Orange, Alamance, and beyond.

      Here’s how we support you and your buyers:

      • Confirmed commission for registered buyers
      We will provide a confirmed commission agreement when you register your client at the beginning of the process—whether they choose a presale, build on a TBH homesite, or bring their own land.

      • Early commission option for “to-be-built” homes
      For clients building a custom home, we offer an  early commission option in many cases. Reach out for more details.

      • Involvement
       Join your clients for meetings, walkthroughs, and key build milestones—or simply stay informed with regular updates. We’ll work with whatever level of involvement you and your clients decide on.

      • Builder-led experience
      Your clients work directly with our builder team—Phil and Andrew Travars—throughout the design and build process, ensuring clarity, transparency, and true personalization.

        What Can Impact Where You Can Place Your Home on Land in Alamance County, NC?

        Posted by tbhadmin on

        Alamance County is one of the beautiful areas where Travars Built Homes builds custom homes on your land—and one of a dozen counties across central North Carolina where we help families bring their vision to life. If you’re considering building in Alamance, it’s important to understand that more than just personal preference determines where you can place your home on your lot.

        Setbacks, septic systems, wells, easements, and environmental features all play a role in shaping your homesite plan. Here’s what to know—and how we help you navigate the process.

        1. Setbacks: 

        Setbacks are the minimum required distances between your home and the edges of your lot. These requirements help maintain safety, privacy, and uniformity across neighborhoods.

        In most parts of Alamance County, typical minimum setbacks are:

        • 35–50 feet from the front property line
        • 15–25 feet from the sides
        • 25–50 feet from the rear

        The specific setback distances depend on your zoning designation and whether your property is located within a municipality, an ETJ (Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction), or a rural area.

        Why it matters: Setbacks define your home’s “buildable area.” 

        2. Septic System: 

        If your property doesn’t connect to a municipal sewer system, you’ll need to install a septic system. Alamance County’s Environmental Health Department will determine the best location based on:

        • A professional soil evaluation
        • The number of bedrooms in your home
        • Required separation from wells, property lines, and structures
        • Reserved space for a repair area

        Why it matters: You must keep the designated area for a septic system clear—not just during construction, but long term—which means you can’t place patios, sheds, pools, or heavy driveways over it.

        3. Wells: 

        If your home requires a private well, it must also meet specific placement requirements. In Alamance County, your well must be:

        • At least 100 feet away from septic fields
        • Accessible for future maintenance

        Why it matters: The well location often needs to be planned in tandem with the septic layout—and both must be situated with enough distance from your home and each other to comply with regulations.

        4. Easements: 

        Easements are areas on your property that someone else has a legal right to use. These are most commonly used for:

        • Driveways or access roads to neighboring properties
        • Underground utility lines
        • Drainage or stormwater systems

        Why it matters: You typically cannot build on or obstruct an easement. 

        5. Natural Features and Buffers

        Alamance County features rolling countryside, creeks, and wooded areas—but these features can also bring building restrictions.

        Depending on your land, you may encounter:

        • Stream buffers, which restrict development near natural waterways
        • Floodplain zones, where development is limited or prohibited

        Why it matters: While these features add beauty to your land, they may limit where you can place your home—or require you to take additional steps during site planning and permitting.

                          Designing for Multi-Generational Living: Mother-in-Law Suite Options in the Chatham County, NC Area

                          Posted by tbhadmin on

                          As families grow and evolve, homes designed with flexibility and multi-generational living in mind are more important than ever. Mother-in-law suites (MIL suites) offer a practical and comfortable solution for accommodating extended family members while maintaining privacy within a shared home.

                          In the beautiful Pittsboro, Chapel Hill, and Chatham County NC areas, homeowners are drawn to the customization options of these integrated designs. Whether you prefer a spacious first-floor bedroom with an ensuite bath or a private suite with a sitting area and kitchenette, there are endless ways to tailor your home to meet your family’s needs.

                          Let’s explore three distinct approaches, using customizable floor plans from Travars Built Homes.

                          Option 1: Convert a Floor Plan to Include a MIL Suite

                          In the Astoria Mill floor plan, you’ll find a perfect starting point for customization. By modifying a portion of the layout, you can create a fully functional MIL suite that fits seamlessly into the home’s design.

                          For example:

                          • Add a private bathroom to a first-floor bedroom.
                          • Expand the space to include a cozy sitting area.
                          • Ensure an intuitive flow between the suite and shared spaces.

                          This approach is ideal for homeowners in who want a practical, integrated design that meets multi-generational living needs.

                          Option 2: Oversized Guest Bedroom with Private Bath

                          For those who prefer a more straightforward solution, the Amberway floor plan offers an oversized guest bedroom with a private bath on the first floor.

                          Key benefits:

                          • Easy accessibility for aging family members or guests.
                          • Enhanced privacy with a dedicated bathroom.
                          • A simple yet elegant solution for multi-generational families.

                          This layout is a fantastic choice for homeowners who believe that functionality and comfort are key.

                          Option 3: Private Living Area with Enhanced Features

                          For families seeking more privacy and functionality, the Nesbit Ferry floor plan includes the option for a private living area within the suite. This could include a separated living room, and for those who need additional amenities, a small kitchenette is a potential add-on.

                          Highlights of this approach:

                          • A true “suite” feel, perfect for multi-generational living.
                          • Separation from main living areas while staying connected to the household.
                          • Room for customization to meet unique family needs.

                          This design is especially appealing to homeowners in the Pittsboro area, where modern design and family-focused living are top priorities.
