R.E.A. Homes - Our Process

R.E.A. Homes’ edge over all of its competition is founder and president Jeff Bogard’s years of experience making him a leader in his profession. As a former general manager of the area’s largest home builder, Jeff has established partnerships with many of the best craftsmen in the region and an understanding of the best products on the market. His knowledge ensures that R.E.A. Homes offers only the best designs, workmanship, and products to provide only the best for your custom-built home.

“I promise accountability in all levels of the organization,” Jeff says. “I am personally involved with every home we build,” Jeff explains. “At R.E.A. Homes, we only build a few homes per year so our customers and their homes receive focused attention. There's a high level of satisfaction for me when all of it comes together, when a customer has put that kind of confidence in me — and I deliver,” he says.

Part of the process is also following the latest trends in home features. Jeff and his team research the ever-changing needs of families today as well as new features available. “Outdoor living spaces are extremely popular as it essentially extends your home by adding a ‘room’ to create a backyard retreat,” Jeff says. We also offer our home buyers the option to consult with our professional Color and Design Consultant who can become involved in the early planning stages to create color schemes, options and overall design elements into the home.


Selecting Your Home Site
We work most effectively for you when we are involved early and often in the creation of your dream home. Even before the building site and house plan are identified, we are a part of the team that can help you identify the best opportunities.

R.E.A. Homes supports you through the pre-construction, construction, and post closing phases of the custom homebuilding process. It is not our mission to simply build a home and sell it - we want to build lifelong relationships with each of the customers we serve. Our attention to St. Louis’ central neighborhoods is essential to keeping these communities vibrant by attracting and retaining home buyers that want the close-in locations, but don't want to settle for older homes that are inefficient and outdated. 

Our fifty-plus years and two generations of experience in the home building business, deep involvement in the
St. Louis green community and our true dedication to you help us achieve these goals with each home we build.
