Four Decades Building Dreams

There's an ocean's span of difference between a house and a home. A house is a building. A home is a state of mind, a place that reflects your personality, a place to build a life, to nurture dreams, to make a sanctuary.

The people at Acuff Homes have understood that important, if subtle, difference for nearly 45 years. "We're in our second generation of building high-quality, well-designed homes," says Collin Acuff.

Collin and brother-in-law Pat Busch have led the company since 1995. Value and fair price were the cornerstones of the business brothers John and Phil Acuff founded in 1961, and the philosophy has only strengthened over the past four + decades.

"People build lives in their homes," Pat comments. "We understand that, and it's one reason our standard features are often upgrades with other builders. We build value in from the very beginning."

Those standard features -- granite counter tops, tile and hardwood floors, molding packages, and upgraded appliances, for example -- mean buyers get what they see in models. "You don't have to upgrade to get what you see in our models," Collin says, "because what we put in models is what we put in every home we build."

Making a home is easy when you live in light-drenched rooms that include generous master suites and baths, spacious hearth rooms, welcoming entries, cozy gathering places, and sparkling, well-appointed kitchens. Custom touches reflect buyers' wishes and personalities. All are Acuff Homes trademarks.

Home exteriors are as striking. Stone and stucco add elegance and style, while warranted construction materials and vinyl and vinyl-clad windows mean low or no maintenance.

And with Acuff Homes, quality comes from much more than outstanding design and materials.

"Many of our suppliers, craftspeople, and subcontractors have worked with us for years," says Pat. "They understand what we demand in our homes and they deliver."

Add to that an on-site customer service staff and attention to buyers and details before, during, and after construction, and it's little wonder that buyers return to Acuff Homes and refer their family members and friends as well.

You'll find people building lives and nurturing dreams in homes built by Acuff Homes in many of the area's finest communities -- The Estates of Oakwood Forest, Hampton Place, the Pavilions of Leawood, Shoal Creek Valley, Wilshire Place and Wilshire Farm.
