We are on a mission to become the best way to build a new home
Most existing homes on the market do not live up to the expectations of today's consumers. Between the aging kitchen tiles, closed floorplans, and the carpeted living rooms, you deserve better.
Yet building a new home has been notoriously complex, opaque, and expensive. We can change that.
We believe an influx of technology, an innovative business model, and elevated design can unlock the potential of new construction.

Founding story
Alec Hartman, Co-Founder and CEO
I was completely frustrated with the process of buying a house...
After the birth of our first child, we started looking for our forever home. Our needs were fairly standard: a quality, functional home that could grow with our family, without rounds of renovations. But like most modern buyers, we were consistently underwhelmed.
I decided to take matters into my own hands, literally. I built my own home, acting as a general contractor. After scouting land, handling permits, sourcing materials, and coordinating construction, I finally had the house I dreamed of. But I knew there was a better way.
Welcome Homes was born as a solution to bring "better" to everyone.
