🏘️ About the Inspirado Community

When complete, Inspirado will feature ~90 homes, with:

• Fitness center

• Beautiful walking paths and Rim View lots

📍 Located in North Meridian, Inspirado offers quick access to shopping, dining, and schools while maintaining a quiet, residential feel.

🛠️ Building vs Buying a Spec Home

Most builders in this community offer both options:

• Spec homes: Move-in ready with design decisions already made

• Build from scratch: Choose your lot, model, and upgrades (6–12 month process)

As someone with a Master’s in Construction Management, I specialize in helping buyers navigate this process from start to finish. 90% of my clients buy new construction, and I’m with them every step of the way—from negotiating upgrades to catching construction issues early.

💡 Remember: Builders pay the agent’s commission, so having professional representation doesn’t cost you extra—but it can save you big.

⚠️ Real-World Example: Saving a Client’s $10,000

A client of mine was about to lose their $10K non-refundable earnest money after switching to a different home within the same builder. Working directly with the builder, they would’ve lost it. But because I was representing them, I appealed—twice—and got the deposit transferred.

The right agent makes a difference.

🛑 Final Thoughts

Both Pacific Lifestyle and Tresidio offer top-tier homes in a beautiful, amenity-rich community. Whether you’re seeking the flexibility of building from scratch or the speed of buying a spec home, Inspirado in Meridian is a must-see.
