4 Simple Steps To Owning A Vista Home

Getting Started

Getting To Know Each Other

Sit down with one of our sales associates to explore your options for owning a new Vista Home in Charlotte. During this conversation, we’ll learn about your lifestyle, preferences, and must-haves for your new home. We’ll walk you through available floor plans and home types—whether move-in ready, under construction, or part of our Semi-Custom Build On Your Land process—so you can choose the path that fits you best before moving on to Step 2.

Secure Your Land

Once you’ve selected your homesite and are ready to move forward, you’ll sign a Professional Services Agreement along with a non-refundable deposit. This step allows our team to begin site evaluation and prepare a detailed cost estimate specific to your chosen floor plan and the required land preparation for building your new home in Charlotte, NC.

Choose Your Floor Plan & Selections

Personalize Your Home with Designer Selections

With your estimate finalized, the design phase begins—this is where your vision comes to life. At Vista Homes, our included features are carefully curated and high-quality, giving you a strong foundation from the start. You’ll choose from multiple designer selection packages featuring finishes like black, gold, and chrome to match your style. Our streamlined process makes it easy and enjoyable as you move one step closer to owning your new home in Charlotte.

Finalize Your Contract & Begin Construction

After your selections are approved and all details are confirmed, you’ll sign your purchase contract and submit your new home deposit. With everything officially in motion, construction begins—and you’re on your way to watching your Vista Home come to life in Charlotte.

Construction Begins

Meet Your Build Team & Launch the Construction Process

Before construction officially begins, you’ll meet with your sales associate and project manager to review your floor plan, homesite, and selected features. This ensures every detail is accurate and aligned with your vision. Your project manager will then introduce you to the communication process, including bi-weekly update calls, so you stay informed and confident throughout every stage of your home’s construction.

Frame Walk – Review Your Home’s Structure & Selections

At the frame stage, your project manager will walk you through the home to confirm the placement of structural elements and any selected options. This step ensures everything is installed according to your plan and gives you the chance to see the quality of materials and craftsmanship behind the walls of your new home in Charlotte.

New Home Orientation & Final Walkthrough

Once construction is complete, your project manager will guide you through a full orientation of your new home. During this walkthrough, you’ll learn how key features and systems work, review warranty information, and ensure everything meets your expectations before closing day.

Move In

Close & Move Into Your New Vista Home

After all final touches are complete and every detail meets our standards, we’ll change the locks and prepare your home for move-in. Then comes the best moment of all — handing you the keys. Welcome to your new Vista Home!

Enjoy Peace of Mind with Warranty Protection

Your Vista Home is built to be a lasting source of pride, comfort, and enjoyment for you and your family. As a homeowner, you’ll be covered by a Quality Builders Warranty Corporation (QBWC) 10-year home warranty program, giving you access to responsive support and trusted service should any warranty-related issues arise. With long-term protection and a dedicated support team, you can feel confident in your home for years to come.

“Can I give 10 stars?! Vista Homes is by far my vote for the best quality, most honest, and overall most knowledgeable builder in the Charlotte area. I have completed probably a dozen deals with Vista and each experience is somehow better than the last! The whole team is great- everyone from ownership, sales people, admin/office crew to contractors. Anyone looking for the best possible experience when building a new home should without a doubt call these guys!”

Garrett K.
“Quality was top notch and our home was completed ahead of schedule. Communication and transparency were amazing. Mariessa and Chandler also went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and make sure any concerns were addressed. We are so grateful to have worked with Mariessa, Chandler, and the rest of the Vista team.”

John P. and Karina V.
"I used Vista Homes to purchase my very first home and from beginning to end the process was seamless. I had biweekly calls with Chandler (the best there ever was) where she gave me updates and was super transparent about everything. Every single update was communicated effectively via email or on our calls! I was SO impressed. Never did I feel left out or unsure about what was happening during the building process. Then there is Mariessa... whenever I had a random odd question she always had an answer. Needless to say I had a fantastic experience with my first home and I would highly recommend Vista!"

Brantley B.
“We have been so pleased with our new Vista home! The floorplan and finishes were exactly what we were looking for in a new home in NoDa. The project managers, sales coordinator, and other services we received in regards to our home were top-notch. Special thanks to Ariel, who addressed every detail and made it all so perfect! Thank you Vista Homes for building just where we wanted to be! We couldn’t be happier with our new home.”

Melissa L.
“During the homebuying process, we came across what is now our beautiful Vista home. We spent countless days and nights researching and making sure we were making the best decision possible. The process was made easier by all of the help provided by Vista Homes and their fantastic team. They’ve held up their end of the bargain and still, even after a year plus, have been helpful in resolving any issues I have had. We would definitely recommend working with Vista Homes!”

David R.
“After working with Vista Homes for over two years and being a part of hundreds of custom home builders in Charlotte, I can say there is not another builder with the talent and processes to ensure a quality build from start to finish like Vista Homes. With their understanding of the Charlotte real estate market, current construction standards, and systems to ensure a quality product. The value Vista Homes provides for their customers is unmatched.”

Michael A.
"The entire Vista Team is top notch. They are extremely detailed, responsive, communicative, and they care. Vista and team go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience and they want you to be happy with your new home. I have worked with Vista on a few new builds and I will continue to refer my clients to them."

Anne M.
“We have been in our Vista Home for over a year and still can't believe we’re fortunate enough to live here! Vista provided us with our dream home at an incredible value. A recent appraisal estimates that we have gained $70k in equity already. If you are looking for a beautiful, quality home in some of the hottest areas in Charlotte. I highly recommend you look at a Vista home."

"Vista Homes builds their homes with no detail left behind. The homes are crafted with not only high-end finishes but with a family’s every day use in mind. They utilize every sqft to maximize your needs. The process from start to finish was nothing less than enjoyable. Mariessa and Chandler were both absolutely wonderful to work with and I’m so thankful I chose a Vista Home."

“For over 20 years, I have worked with clients buying new construction homes in Charlotte. If you are looking for a home in the area, reach out to Vista Homes. They build beautiful, high quality homes at a reasonable price for all that they offer. Despite being in thousands of homes in and around the region, I’m still in awe every time I pull up to a Vista property. Just gorgeous!”

"Vista (specifically Chandler and Mariessa) were amazing to work with. They kept me informed throughout the process and answered my million questions. I would highly recommend them to anyone! I felt very informed and kept up to date on everything happening throughout the process. They were also super flexible in working around my schedule."

Kelsey P.
“We love our Vista home! The Vista team was easy to work with and very responsive. We found our own lot and worked with Vista to build on it. It was perfect, as we were able to save some costs compared to a custom build and not have to stress about every little detail. We get complimented often on the quality of our finishes, fixtures, and appliances, which are all standard in Vista homes!”
