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.

    Co-Marketing Opportunities: Land Listings + Custom Homes

    Do you have a land listing that could be perfect for a custom home? We partner with agents to create Lot + Home Packages that bring listings to life—and help attract qualified buyers.  This can be a powerful way to add value to your listing and show buyers the full potential of the property.

    Our co-marketing support includes:
    • A custom-fit home plan for the lot
    • Complete Lot + Home Package pricing
    • Floor plans and visual materials for marketing
    • Guidance for buyers exploring new construction
    • Access to our builder team for client questions

    When you co-market a Lot + Home Package with us, you will be the listing agent, with commission potential for both the land and the new home.

    We also offer early commission payment—often within 60 days of contract—for co-marketed Lot + Home Packages. Reach out to discuss the structure and terms for your specific opportunity.

    To learn more about co-marketing, submit this form or contact Lara at 919-812-3154.

    Strength of Experts

    Phil and Andrew, each named “Top 40 under 40” nationwide in the new home industry, bring complementary strengths to every project.

    • Phil is the driving force behind day-to-day construction. With a sharp eye for detail and unwavering commitment to quality, he helps ensure everything behind the walls is just as strong and well-crafted as what’s visible on the surface.
    • Andrew leads the architectural vision and client experience. He partners closely with each homebuyer to customize floor plans, evaluate build sites, and walk through design options that align with your lifestyle and goals.

    Together, they personally oversee every build phase—providing guidance, clarity, and confidence from the very first conversation.

    Hands-On and Client-Focused

    At Travars Built Homes, you work directly with the builders. Phil and Andrew are deeply involved from concept to completion—so you always have an expert by your side.

    • In-person planning meetings to understand your vision, preferences, and how you want your home to live and feel.
    • In-depth discussion at your homesite to evaluate layout, orientation, and the best way to take advantage of your land’s unique features.
    • Tailored floor plan modifications that reflect your lifestyle—guided by Andrew’s design insight and practical experience.
    • Multiple on-site walkthroughs with the builder as your home comes together, to give you visibility into the build process and opportunities to discuss the build in person as your home comes to life.
    • Clear, consistent communication, with a trusted build team.  The most frequent compliment we receive is “you make us feel confident and comfortable.”

    “The foundation of every home we build is trust—earned through expertise, personal commitment, and doing what we say we’ll do.”

            How to finance your new home

            Travars Built Homes offers choices for your custom home financing.

            Custom homes built on your lot require construction to perm financing. Our Preferred Lenders offer competitive rates and a variety of programs for you to choose from, including:

            • One or two time close options
            • Low down payments
            • And interest only payments during the construction phase

            If you already own a lot, your lender will talk with you about how that can impact your construction loan.

            If you are purchasing a lot for your home, the lender will talk with you about options, including wrapping the lot purchase into the construction to perm loan, with one transaction going forward.

            And our three-step pre-build process enables you to know important information about land you are considering purchasing, and how site specific requirements can impact your bottom line.
