After years of commuting to Lakeland from Tampa for work, Michelle + Chris Howard were ready to buy a home here.

Here’s what they had on their checklist:

✔ Forever home (in their fifties)

✔ New build (didn’t want a project)

✔ Open floor plan (two big dogs + love entertaining)

✔ Lake-front (within budget)

After doing their research, Michelle and Chris decided to work with Southern Homes (especially after they learned they would get more square footage than expected for their budget).

They worked with the team from the buying process to the building process, and it led them to exactly what they were looking for.
