Building for Those Who Serve: How Empire Homes Supports Military Families in Finding Their Perfect Home

At Empire Homes, we’re proud to help families lay the foundation for their future—sometimes literally. But when we have the opportunity to work with active-duty service members, veterans, and their families, that responsibility carries an even deeper meaning. We understand the unique challenges you face: deployments, unpredictable PCS orders, tight timelines, and complex relocation decisions. Our role is not only to build quality homes, but also to build confidence, stability, and long-term value for those who give so much to protect our country.

Why Military Buyers Choose New Construction

Military families often enter the homebuying process with clear priorities—and new construction aligns naturally with many of them.

Energy efficiency and predictable costs matter. If you’re transitioning from base housing where utilities were covered or subsidized, a new home with modern insulation, efficient windows, and updated HVAC systems can make monthly expenses far more manageable.

Low-maintenance living is another major advantage. Whether you’re deployed or managing the household as a one-spouse team, a home that demands fewer repairs provides peace of mind. Retired service members also value the convenience of a home designed to minimize upkeep.

Our modern layouts—especially first-floor primary suites and open-concept spaces—fit the needs of aging veterans, busy families, and anyone who wants a home designed for both comfort and practicality.

Supporting Budget-Conscious Buyers

Military buyers tend to be especially budget-minded, and for good reason: relocation orders can come unexpectedly, and financial stability is essential. That’s why transparency matters. We help by providing clear information about:

  • Energy savings
  • Included features versus optional upgrades
  • Warranty coverage and long-term maintenance expectations

Our warranties offer reassurance similar to buying a new car—there’s comfort in knowing unexpected repairs aren’t likely to become financial burdens.

The importance of resale value

While every buyer cares about resale value, military families depend on it. If you may only be stationed in an area for a few years, the ability to sell quickly—and profitably—is critical. Empire Homes supports strong resale outcomes by:

  • Developing communities with balanced, accessible price points
  • Highlighting amenities and location advantages that retain long-term value
  • Helping buyers understand why mid-range homes in established communities often perform best when it’s time to sell

We also make sure you understand the stage of community development. Selling in a nearly completed neighborhood can be far easier than competing with brand-new homes still being built.

Meeting Tight Timelines With Flexible Options

PCS orders don’t always align with construction schedules, so flexibility is one of the strongest advantages we can offer.

If you have the time, building from scratch can be a rewarding experience—choosing your finishes and personalizing your home is especially meaningful for first-time buyers.

For families who receive short-notice orders, move-in-ready or near-completion homes are essential. By maintaining a solid inventory of quick-delivery homes, we make it easier for you to land on your feet without sacrificing quality or convenience.

Guiding You Toward Smart Upgrade Decisions

Because many military families eventually rent or sell their homes, helping you make smart, future-focused upgrade choices is part of our job. We typically recommend upgrades with strong long-term returns, such as:

  • Durable flooring
  • Finished basements
  • Enhanced kitchen layouts
  • Upgraded primary bathrooms

And we’ll help you avoid costly cosmetic options that provide little resale value—like premium carpet tiers or elaborate lighting packages. Our goal is simple: help you invest where it counts and save where it doesn’t.

How VA Loans Align With New Construction

VA loans offer tremendous advantages to military families—no down payment, competitive rates, flexible credit guidelines, and no mortgage insurance. These benefits often make new construction even more accessible. Because VA loans require a specialized inspection and appraisal, new homes—built to current code and delivered in pristine condition—tend to move through the process smoothly. Empire Homes also supports VA buyers by offering lower deposit requirements on VA-financed homes, since the loan itself eliminates the need for a down payment. In Colorado, Empire Homes proudly offers:

  • A $2,500 credit toward the purchase price
  • A waived lot-premium deposit

For all active-duty and retired military members.

Building Trust—and a Reputation—Within the Military Community

One of the most meaningful parts of serving military families is the strength of your referral network. When we take care of one family, word spreads quickly—and we’re honored every time a service member trusts us with such an important milestone.

By listening carefully, communicating clearly, offering flexible solutions, and prioritizing long-term value, we aim to be a builder you can rely on throughout your service and beyond.

Most importantly, we’re committed to helping those who serve find a place to call home—one that supports your needs today and sets you up for success tomorrow.
