Rand Soellner Architect does much more than
design nice mountain homes: given the right circumstances, WE CAN
HELP PEOPLE CREATE WEALTH! |
| We
have been helping many of our clients increase their asset wealth
for some time now and are often told that in addition to having a
nice mountain home designed and built for your own enjoyment, that
you want to resell the home at some point in the future and realize
a profit. |
 |
 |
Although
historic data are no promise of future returns, we have documents
that indicate appraisals on some of our projects of 200%+ of their
construction costs! Realtors have told us that nationally,
homes can expect to appreciate annually at the rate of about 6
percent, and that in good areas, perhaps 15 percent. *This is one of
the main reasons to engage licensed architects, experienced in the
mountains, to design your home, as well as your enjoyment of a
custom-crafted mountain home. Most developers are delighted to
hear this. This means that most investors and clients should
earn a profit selling our homes, because of the design.*
Our
homes are Designed To Sell |
 |
How
do we do this?
By
designing homes with features for which buyers are willing to pay
top dollar. |
 |
Some
people say: "Why should I hire an architect?"
Architects
that are based in the mountains understand the unique geology, which
affects your structure, and the other environmental demands of an
Alpine rain forest. We also design features into the project that
today's luxury mountain home buyers demand and whom are willing to
pay for with significant dollars to maximize your return on your
investment. |
| Our designs typically make your
home worth more per square foot. “When thinking about
why to spend the money to hire an architect, ask yourself if
receiving more for your home is worth it.* We believe you will
agree that it is.” We believe you will agree that it is.
We believe you will agree that it is. For instance, on one project,
one of our yet-to-be clients had a home under construction; she had
the foundations about complete. She and her realtor examined the
design and felt it could be better. She contacted me. During a
meeting, I examined the design documents and she asked me if they
could be better. I said yes; I knew they could be much better for
resale as a luxury Mountain Home. |
 |
|
| She engaged me to redesign the project and
I did, using the existing foundation. A month later when we had
completed the redesign, her realtor examined our new design and he
told her that our new design was worth $420,000 MORE than
the previous design. Both designs sat on the same
foundation. Square footage was fairly similar, although we squeezed
a little more out of it. Therefore, OUR DESIGN IS
WORTH ABOUT $123 MORE PER SQUARE FOOT than
the previous scheme. Isn't that worth hiring a licensed
professional and paying a reasonable design fee? It is sort of like
searching for a specialist doctor for an operation. Doesn't it make
the most sense to find the surgeon who can cure you rather than
looking for a general practitioner with lower fees? Why take chances
with your financial health? Successful developers know: hire
the licensed architect who is a specialist in the building type and
pay their fees; you will likely recoup your design investment
many-fold when you sell the project. |
|
 |
| Our designs create the openness, functional
logic, relationships and detailed features that serious buyers want.
|
| So
how do the people at Rand Soellner Architect know what to put into
their homes? |
 |
 |
Very
simple: we ask.
Who do we ask? The people that compose the
major segments of our market. Who are they? |
| We
have conducted detailed research every week for the past several
years on a grassroots level. When we get together with you, we will
be happy to disclose these sources. |
 |
 |
We
know what the buyers' demographics are for our main market area and
are constantly expanding our network of resources to provide
knowledge-based data elsewhere. We know where the people come from
that buy nice mountain homes, their ages, the percentages from each
State and Region, and what is important to them. |
| This
crucial, proprietary information is one of the reasons our
architecture is so strong in terms of appeal. |
 |
 |
Quite
simply:
WE KNOW WHAT THE MARKETPLACE WANTS.
Our
homes are Designed To Sell
So,
if you are interested in making money* by investing in the design
and construction of nice mountain homes and projects, please contact

FOR THOSE RAND SOELLNER ARCHITECT
CLIENTS SEEKING TO MAXIMIZE THEIR WEALTH-BUILDING, WE OFFER
INFORMATION ON HOW TO ESTABLISH AN INVESTMENT RETIREMENT PLAN
(THROUGH LICENSED CUSTODIANS) USING REAL ESTATE AS YOUR INVESTMENT
ASSET!
We have done this for ourselves and we offer
the same information to our clients as a benefit of doing business
with us. After engaging us to begin work on your project, we
will share with you all of our contact information so that you can
set up a retirement real estate plan for yourself. How many
times have you said: “I do not understand how to judge the
stock, bond and mutual fund markets? How do I protect myself
from the losses incurred in 1929, 1974 and 2000?” Well,
for ourselves, we believe the answer is to purchase real estate
using pre-tax dollars as the investment in our retirement fund.
We have actually done this. It is possible, but this method
of investing is not well-known. We are not and do not claim
to be investment advisors and are not licensed to do so. We
do, however have the information to put you in touch with a
Fortune 500 company and other licensed retirement advisors to help
you set up your plan. We have discovered how to do this by
doing it. No one knew how to show us the way and it took us
months to find the right companies and the methods to establish a
real estate retirement plan in lieu of a conventional mutual fund
retirement plan. We recently liquidated all of our
retirement funds, transferred them to a new custodian who is
authorized to hold real estate on our behalf and we have recently
signed our first contract to acquire our first property as a major
portion of our retirement plan. We also have information
relating to the specialized type of loan required to allow you to
acquire properties whose price exceeds the amount of funds in your
present retirement plan that you may wish to transfer into the new
real estate retirement plan. Once again, this information is
not for sale. We make it available to clients of ours who
may be interested in such information. We suggest that only
individuals who thoroughly understand the real estate market in
which they are considering investing, do so. If you pay more
for a property now than it may be worth in the future, you could
lose substantial portions of your investment. You want to
find property that is presently undervalued with particular
characteristics (which we will share with you), then purchase it
through your real estate retirement plan, then hold it for a
period of time, then resell it for a substantial profit, none of
which should be taxable until you begin taking distributions from
your retirement plan.
*The
ability of a project to turn a profit is the result of the
combination of many factors, not all of which are solely based on
design, such as market fluctuations, how well the design indicated
was built, changes made by clients, personalization and other
factors. We do not, and no one can, guarantee profits.
If allowed, we will advise you on what features realtors and
appraisers have informed us result in swifter, higher sales and
incorporate those items, with your permission. |
