What is the biggest challenge you face in the current market? What are you doing to overcome it?
Right now, the biggest challenge in this great homebuilding market is locating quality lots and homesites in the right locations and neighborhoods.

This forces Alford Homes, to work harder via their realtor relationships to find new lots and pockets of land that they can develop for Alford Homes clientele.
