Updated: Oct 29


Turn-the-Key℠ homebuyer program by Bible Built Texas Homes

Building your custom dream home is one of life’s greatest milestones, but it often comes with challenges that can make the process stressful and overwhelming. That’s why Bible Built Texas Homes created the Turn-the-Key℠ program—a fully integrated, seamless homebuilding experience that takes care of everything from land acquisition to the moment you step into your new home. With the expertise of our team and key partners, we ensure your custom home journey is smooth, transparent, and stress-free.


The Crucial Role of The Renfeld Group in Land Selection



Selecting the right plot of land for your custom home goes far beyond finding a beautiful location—it’s about making a sound investment. That’s where The Renfeld Group excels. With over $100 million in real estate sales, Shelby Renfeld and her team not only identify potential risks like land restrictions, flood zones, and public easements, but they also scour the Hill Country real estate market for key real estate comparables and assess real-time market conditions.


This thorough market analysis allows Shelby and her team to negotiate with integrity, ensuring that every offer is aligned with true market value. Their goal is to secure the best possible price for your property, ensuring that your investment is protected from the start. By combining their deep market knowledge with a strategic approach to negotiations, The Renfeld Group acts as your trusted partner, helping you land the perfect property on which to build your dream custom home.


Whether you're navigating complex CC&Rs or evaluating a property's long-term potential, their expertise, in coordination with Bible Built's consultation, ensures that you avoid costly missteps and capitalize on opportunities that others might miss. With The Renfeld Group by your side, you can move forward with confidence, knowing that your land investment is sound and your custom home is built on the best foundation possible.


Simplified Financing with One-Time Close Loans (Including Land Loans)


Securing the right financing is a critical part of building your custom home, and our lending team provides unparalleled expertise to ensure a smooth process. Stephanie Scaliatine, our dedicated community loan officer at First United Bank, manages all land and construction loans, guiding you through the initial financing steps with personalized support. On the permanent loan side, Harding McEldowney, our mortgage consultant, handles all one-time closes and conversions to permanent loans, ensuring a seamless transition from construction financing to your final mortgage.


Their combined knowledge and commitment to client success allow us to offer the most efficient and cost-effective lending solutions. Stephanie works closely with you to secure the right financing for your land purchase and construction, while Harding ensures that your permanent loan aligns with your long-term financial goals. Together, they make certain that each step of the process is covered, from pre-approval through closing, and that you receive the best possible terms tailored to your specific needs.


With their expertise, you’ll not only secure the funding necessary to bring your dream home to life but also benefit from exclusive lending programs and incentives available only through Bible Built Texas Homes that can save you tens of thousands of dollars.


Builder Consultation from Concept to Completion


At Bible Built Texas Homes, our role as your custom builder is intricately woven into every phase of the process, from land selection to financing and construction. When it comes to land selection, we work closely with The Renfeld Group to guide you through real estate considerations, ensuring that zoning, CC&Rs, and market conditions align with your long-term goals. Once the perfect property is identified, Stephanie Scaliatine, our community loan officer, facilitates all land and construction loans for two-time close loans, providing the financing foundation necessary for a successful build.


For one-time close loans, Harding McEldowney manages the entire process, combining land, construction, and permanent financing into a single loan to simplify and streamline approvals. For two-time close loans, Harding steps in during the construction phase to facilitate the permanent loan when the project reaches 80% completion, ensuring a smooth transition from construction financing to your long-term mortgage.


Our deep expertise in custom home construction allows us to integrate seamlessly into these financing workflows, ensuring that every aspect—from securing land to meeting loan requirements—is aligned with your home’s construction timeline and financial strategy. Our relationships with trusted partners like First United Bank ensure you receive the best possible lending terms, saving you time and money while keeping your project on track. By combining our construction know-how with our financial partnerships, we offer a comprehensive, seamless experience that ensures the success of both our homebuyers and our partners.


Title, Escrow, and Insurance: Everything You Need


Finalizing the purchase of your land and custom home involves crucial legal steps, and that’s where Jennifer Lago and her team at Old Republic Title come in. Their expertise ensures the title and escrow process is handled efficiently and accurately, protecting your investment every step of the way. From reviewing title documentation to managing escrow accounts, their meticulous attention to detail ensures a smooth closing process.


Additionally, Tori Smith at GBMB Insurance provides comprehensive coverage through Builder’s Risk and Homeowner Insurance policies, safeguarding your home during construction and long after you’ve moved in. With this complete protection, you can build with confidence knowing your investment is secure.
