BrokerIPTV  : Today we are talking with Kelly Dutton, Director of Business Development for InVision Homes and DirectBuild. Kelly thanks for be in with us.

Kelly Dutton: Absolutely, excited be here.

BrokerIPTV  : Thanks. Tell us about InVision?

Kelly Dutton: InVision Homes is an award winning custom home builder out of Douglas County was founded by Michael New who is a second generation home builder from California. He has been build high and custom homes in Douglas County and several other counties along the front line for the last 15 years.

BrokerIPTV  : Small, medium large builder?

Kelly Dutton: We were medium to small builder. We really like to limit the amount of homes that we will do for year, just to ensure a high level of customer service to our clients. We typically stay under 12 homes a year.

BrokerIPTV  : Where are you building, what is available?

Kelly Dutton: We are currently building in Douglas County. We have several projects under way there, more recently we have got some projects going on in Cherry Hills which we are very excited about.

BrokerIPTV  : Infact one of the homes in Cherry Hills, if I remember correctly, you are actually auctioning off is that right?

Kelly Dutton: Absolutely

BrokerIPTV  : Tell us about that...

Kelly Dutton: This is a project that is very special for us. We are InVision Homes is in partnership with the Ken Foundation. The Ken Foundation is an organization that is dedicated to the prevention of child abuse and neglect. So, as part of that partnership, we are building a 14,000 Sq ft home in Cherry Hills. We have many many sub-trades and designers in a lot of great people that have donated their time, materials and labor to put this together.

BrokerIPTV  : How do you put bid-in on this place?

Kelly Dutton: This will be an auction. We are going to have some great events coming this spring when the home is complete. So, we are very excited to announce those up coming events.

BrokerIPTV  : Current market, everybody knows what is going on, what are the challenges for customs, semi-custom over it?

Kelly Dutton: It is a good question. I have to say because we limit the number of clients that we work with per year fortunately. The custom home building side is not quiet as affected by some of the more volume building that has been going on, but I really think the key in markets like this is to really find unique ways to stay in the market place and that is what we stay focused on.

BrokerIPTV : It has been about corrections or reactions to the market. We see builders slashing prices, giving things away including basement things like that, is that going on with you at all or...?

Kelly Dutton: Absolutely not. We really a company that is dedicated in working with our clients to find out what it is exactly they want to build. So we are purely here to consult them through the process in the design. We will build anywhere they want to go along the Front Range and so its really just matter of establishing that relationship with your clients.

BrokerIPTV  : How about future plans for InVision, where are you going in that?

Kelly Dutton: We are looking to expand, thanks to the good fortune that we had over the years, happy clients, we have a great long list of the client's referrals and sub contractors that would refer our name to them, so definitely looking to expand into market place.

BrokerIPTV  : Thanks, great talking with you, good information.

Kelly Dutton: Thank you so much. Thank you.
