Home Builders Association of Fayetteville brings back “Dirt to Door” certification course

By Faith Hatton, posted 2 years ago

The Home Builders Association of Fayetteville is reviving a certification course last offered to area realtors in 2017. 

The 2023 Dirt to Door course will return on Sept. 26-27. The two day program will allow attendees to learn the basics of new construction from the acquisition of the land to the final Certificate of Occupancy. Attendees will split their course time in a classroom environment during day one and on a construction site during day two. Members of the Home Builders Association of Fayetteville (HBAF) and experts in their particular field will lead the sessions.

“We have a committee of builders who have put the program together and that will teach the program and in different sections on the classroom day. And then on the second day, we'll be on site in a neighborhood and they will get to see houses in four different stages. That way they have more opportunity to ask questions with the builder, and they can actually see the things that they learned about the previous day,” shared HBAF Executive Officer Natalie Fryer. 

Fryer shared that the decision to bring the course back was due to the demand from the real estate community. The course is open to members of the HBAF and the Longleaf Pines Realtors ASSOCIATION. After completing both days of the course, participants receive their designation of a Certified New Home Sales Professional.

Currently, all 100 slots for the course have been filled, but Fryer also mentioned that interested realtors can be put on a waiting list in the event of an opening, and there are early talks to bring the course back in the spring of 2024. 

Anyone interested in being added to the waitlist can contact Fryer at natalie@fayhba.org, and follow the HBAF website here and Facebook page here for more updates.
