What is Different About a Woman-Centric Homebuilder?

As Topeka’s ONLY licensed Woman-Centric Matterssm homebuilder. DM Hawks Builder is dedicated to:

• ...providing home designs that allow for how you truly live – with an emphasis placed on areas for de-stressing, entertaining, storage and flexible living.

• ...saving you time and adding convenience with everything from our convenient model home locations to re-designing the customer’s purchase experience.

• ...giving both men and women the best value in every way possible. Men usually define “value” in terms of lowest price. While price is important, women most often think in terms of “best overall value”, including aspects such as trust and customer service.

• ...addressing home safety and health concerns women have in their common roles as primary caregivers and nurturers. “By 2010, about ½ the women in America over 49 will be caregivers for someone in her family.”
– LifeSpring Environs, Inc.

• ...reducing stress both in the purchasing experience and in the home design. “Stress in her life is the #1 compelling theme for women.”
– Mary Lou Quinlon in Just Ask A Woman

• ...becoming our customers’ new home investment counselor. We care about you, your concerns, and your future, and we want to help you make wise, informed decisions.
