Opportunity to build is very good right now.

Despite the lingering recession in many areas of our country, there are certain areas that have experienced less downturn than the national market as a whole. The slow market has caused many builders and subs to be out of work for a period of time, and these available services have been very good at coming up with discounted services and labor, and materials savings. Excess real estate inventories have also moderated prices in some areas, allowing for savings on many different property types. Real estate people are aggressive at making an offer, and trying to close any deal that represents a savings for the buyer, or an opportunity for the seller, to move properties that have had more than their share of listing time on the market.

Rocky is always willing to help, and has offered several "build-it-onsite" deals, like our popular Winchester floorplan, with approximately 1,252 square feet on the main level and half loft, for a dried-in estimate of just under $70,000 for local valley jobs. Please call us for pricing in any other areas. This is an incredible savings, and one that should not be passed up. Feel free to contact us for details, at 406/363-5680.

We love our past customers, repeat business is our mainstay

In the summer of 2007, I received a call from Don Saunders, a Washington, D.C., attorney who had purchased property in the beautiful Madison Valley of southwestern Montana, near Ennis. Don was very interested in building a second/vacation home that he could rent out part time when he is not in Montana. Don also had a local broker in Ennis who was willing to help. Don had chosen one of our popular standard designs, the Bluff house, (RMO73) and had elected to make a few minor changes. Don was introduced to one of our premier local builders in the Madison Valley, Howard Mills (www.bigskybuilders.com), and Howard and his crew provided the onsite labor and additional materials to build this home.

Don Saunders and his son, have had a passion for fly-fishing in the Ennis area for a long time, and now have a great place to hang their hat at the end of the day. Don chose to use 9" logs and rough-sawn beams for his exposed, vaulted ceilings. If you would like to contact Howard Mills, he can be reached at 406-842-5068, or by looking up his website. Howard has been an excellent local resource, and has built Rocky homes since the early '90's, after he completed a large home for us near Albany, New York.

History Channel's Ax Men features Rocky helicopter logging company

On Sunday nights, the popular History Channel nonfiction series, AX MEN is featuring R&R Conner Aviation, the helicopter logging company that Rocky uses in its sensitive logging areas. Although R&R Conner Aviation isn't working for Rocky in this segment, the logging and safety practices are the same as when they're partnering with us. Along with some comic relief from another logging outfit, you'll see the dramatic efforts we go through to harvest our fire-killed, dead-standing timbers in environmentally sensitive areas. You'll notice the chief helicopter pilot wearing a Rocky cap with our logo clearly displayed on the front. We're proud of our relationship with this fine company.

Savings on design fees

Rocky still has a design special in place for our Conceptual Design Program. Rocky is still offering the $500 off its preliminary design program to stimulate some design interest for those considering building in 2009, spring or summer. You will receive a complimentary design credit towards the custom design of your choice. This special is good through May 2009, and is somewhat limited. The fun begins as we initiate your new home design.

New distributors

Rocky is continually searching for new talent, and distributors who are interested in a particular area of the United States. Our program works very well for those with prior sales experience, and also for those who are either involved in real estate or the construction industry. We are currently considering Tony Tingle for an area near Eminence, Kentucky, and also an area for Jim Rogers, near Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

If you have an interest in a distributorship area, please feel free to call us for more information.

Give us a call!
