But have you considered a remodeling project? Many owners of 1970's era homes have updated their homes, while still maintaining the look that makes their homes unique. All the modern conveniences are included. The result is efficiency and beauty.
To see what I mean, come by our open houses this weekend:

Buying Real Estate--Ten Common Mistakes!
I have been in real estate since 1980 and have seen thousands of experienced and first-time home buyers, as well as their agents, make common mistakes. Some of these pitfalls have cost the buyer a bundle. I have even seen real estate mistakes cause the breakup of friendships and marriages!
For these reasons, I compiled a list of the most common real estate mistakes. Many of my clients have commented that everyone should have this information. They say, "John, you need to get this out to everybody!" So I asked myself, what is the best way to get this information out to as many people as possible? Of course, the Internet is the answer. That's how Doe Real Estate Information began.
I have compiled a book called, "Buying Real Estate--Ten Common Mistakes." This book can save you thousands of dollars in mistakes. It covers ten common blunders that buyers make. You will learn a multitude of money-saving tips, buying strategies, how to easily avoid mistakes, and more. This concise and organized information will show you:
* (list prominent features)
and much, much more!
I highly recommend this book to my clients and customers because of the valuable information it contains. Because I am usually the one who has to fix these mistakes if they happen, it also makes my job easier when my clients are knowledgeable. Even one tip in my book could save you thousands of dollars. After reading this book you will probably know more about buying real estate than many agents!
I am offering it to you at no risk. If you are completely happy with the information, just return it for a full refund. Order now!
P.S. Don't be foolish when it comes to buying your next home. Learn these inexpensive tips and secrets, and save! Also, remember the no risk guarantee: if you don't save money, time, or your nerves by reading this book, I will fully refund your money, no questions asked. So order today.

Have you considered building a new home but held back for lack of trust in a builder?
At John Doe Construction, we put our 26 years of experience on the line every time we build a new home.
Hello. I'm John Doe. I'm sure you've heard friends tell horror stories of their experiences hiring a builder who was never on time, did shoddy work, and went over budget. I've heard those stories, too. Sadly, it is true--there are some builders who give our profession a bad name. The distress that these "professionals" can cause a family often leaves long-term scars on relationships. I started my business in 1976 with the idea that I was in it for the long run and I would earn my reputation one satisfied customer at a time.
The result?
John Doe Construction is now one of the most respected home construction names in Utah. We were named Builder of the Year in 2017 and 2018; we have won three Judges' Choice Awards; and we have consistently ranked in the top 3 of People's Choice Awards in our entries in the Parade of Homes.
Why?
Because we insist on quality you can trust. Our ongoing business is dependent on your recommending us to your friends. We go the extra mile--literally. In fact, 99% of our customers would gladly choose us to build them another home. Our qualified staff, skilled craftsmen, and professional subcontractors have been with us for years. Our team prides itself in working closely with you during all stages of construction, listening to your needs, and paying meticulous attention to detail. You can count on us to handle everything from permits, designs, construction, and warranties. In every way, we strive to be true to our word and dependable.
We've worked hard to earn our outstanding reputation as one of Utah's premier general contractors. We build with the goal of achieving the highest industry standards, using the finest materials, employing the best craftsmen, and delivering a home at a price you can afford.
At John Doe Construction I put my name on the company for a reason. I want you to feel so at peace that you could take a vacation during the construction process knowing you would come back to a wonderfully built home. That is my goal--to make you happy in the home I build you, and for you to enjoy it for many, many years.
I want to personally invite you to check us out--visit one of our subdivisions; ask a John Doe Construction homeowner about their experience with us and how they love their home. I know you'll see that we are all that we claim. We, at John Doe Construction, want you as part of our family and we are ready to earn your trust.
P.S. For a listing of prior homeowners, or a list of our current subdivisions, or if you would just like to sit down and visit with us concerning your needs, please contact us at 555-5555.
