Most clients building a custom home also have a home to sell. The team manages both: the sale of the current home, the search for a lot when one is needed, and the timing, so clients are not carrying two homes longer than necessary.
Our preferred build partner is Heritage Homes, a luxury custom builder co-founded by Lori Howard and Dustin Gott in 2025. Heritage is based in Woodbury and breaks ground on its first project on Oakridge Trail in Afton this spring.
New construction accounts for most of the team's sales over $1 million. Lori and Dustin have sold 102 new homes, 45 of them for more than $1 million, primarily in Lake Elmo, Afton and Woodbury.
