My husband and I are building a Megatel home in McKinney, TX currently. Zach, Aaron and staff have been a dream to work with. We start construction in the next couple of weeks. I will try to remember to post more as the build goes on to give you more info.

Here is what I have learned so far. Their homes are far superior to all of the other builders that we looked at for the price. We looked in the McKinney, Frisco, Prosper, Allen areas because we are relocating for my husband's job. Megatel DOES NOT cut any corners. They are giving us a ton of features that are considered standard with Megatel, that with other builders would be upgrades. Granite everywhere, hand-scraped hardwoods, etc. The minute our house is built, we will have instant equity because of the value of the products that they use. Believe me, I have spent hours researching to ensure that our decision was the correct one in this type of economy.

According to our contract, our house is going to be energy star certified. Also it will be listed in the green built directory here: http://www.greenbuiltnorthtexas.com/homeregistry.htm.

Here is a link to our realtor's site about Megatel: http://www.mckinneyhomerebate.com/megatel-homes.htm - he offers a rebate of 2% on Megatel Homes, which also helps during these economic times.

In Texas, all residential builders and remodelers must register with the Texas Residential Construction Commission in order to work in Texas. This commission is relatively new, but it will probably become more important over time.

Their website allows you to search for a particular builders and learn what information the commission has about them including complaints or requests for inspections. You can also learn more about the commission's work and standards.

Megatel Builders is registered with the commission. There is contact information on the builder on the site.

I have dealt with megatel and zach the builder directly with three of my buyers. Although we have not closed anything because they are just a touch out of their price ranges his product is above and beyond anyone in Forney at that price ranges for sure. They also work very well with Realtors. If you are unrepresented I would love to let my experience with Forney help you. I have lived here the mass majority of my life sans 5 to 7 years in college and working living single.

Now I have a family and just bought my first home in Forney. I have very responsive services and also am not with a large broker so I rebate 20% of my commission to you. See my website for references and dont hesitate to call me about questions about Forney or the Dallas area in general in that 7 years I lived in 7 different areas so I know my way around the whole metroplex.

Thanks for your time
