Thank you for your visit to the the Alternative Housing Solutions, LLC web site.  We have been in business since September 2000 and have built over 230 homes for our friends in Western North Carolina, North Georgia, and Upper South Carolina.  Thank you to all our clients and those prospective clients who have recently visited our model home centers. 

I know most everyone is concerned about the so called housing and mortgage crisis and I would like to set the record straight as best I can.  Without the media's bad publicity there probably wouldn't be a crisis in the housing or mortgage industry.  We have found people who want to buy new housing and are credit worthy are waiting because the negative publicity that is being spewed out over the media is scaring them away.  The facts that are not ever mentioned in the media are one, the interest rate is as low as they have ever been in recent history.  Two, there are still good mortgage programs out there for credit worthy people.  Three, just because there are unfavorable items on the credit report or the score isn't  astromically high doesn't necessarily mean a person cannot get a mortgage for their new homes.

Alternative Housing Solutions, LLC has great relationships with a number of mortgage banks and brokers that can assist our clients with the mortgage piece of the housing puzzle.  My wife and I are so proud of the people in our organization because they are the most knowledgable, ethical, and pleasant people to be found in the industry.  Each one stands ready, willing and able to help you thru the stress of new home building.  You may contact Kris (General Manager of Alternative Housing Solutions, LLC), Tommy or Nicole (our consultants in the Flecher model center) or Travis or Ed (our consultants in the Franklin model center) with any questions you may have about the process of building your new home.  We also have a real estate company to help you with your real estate needs.  And we are licensed general contractors in both North and South Carolina and will be glad to help you with any or all of your site work.

Finally we are very fortunate to have developed a relationship with one of the finest modular home builders in the industry, R-Anell Homes with a state of the art manufacturing facility located in Cherryville, NC.  We had purchased high quality homes from Mascot Homes, Inc. since we opened Alternative Housing Solutions, LLC in September 2000 and they ceased operations in December 2008.  A few months prior to that we felt like they were not going to stay in business and began looking for another partner.  I have known the R-Anell people for a lot of years and have had the utmost respect for the quality of home, pricing, service and all that goes into building a top notch house for affordable pricing, but more important for the top ethical standards they have set for our industry.  A big thank you goes out to their President, Dennis Jones and all his people for their part in continuing to make Alternative Housing Solutions, LLC a viable alternative to the other housing options you have today. 

God Bless,
