How is an owner’s representative different from a general contractor?

A general contractor (GC) is responsible for executing the construction work, while an owner’s representative (owner’s rep) acts as the homeowner’s advocate—ensuring the project stays on budget, on schedule, and meets quality expectations. We oversee the GC, handle contractor selection, negotiate contracts, and monitor progress to protect your investment.

Why do I need an owner’s representative if I already have a realtor?

A trusted realtor helps you find and purchase land, but once you buy the property, the challenges of development begin. Valor Development Solutions ensures your project is properly planned, managed, and executed correctly, saving you time, money, and stress. In addition, we work with several exceptional realtors which we can recommend to help get you started.
