Many thanks to Dennis Cooper / The Federal Savings Bank for inviting me to The Real Estate Collaborative at The Lodge Des Peres this morning. It was a great and informative session and panel discussion that included my Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Select Properties: St. Charles teammate Chloe Carnahan-Gerrity of Signature Realty Group.

Here’s something worth knowing if you haven’t found the right home yet:

Sometimes, your perfect home doesn’t exist—yet. A construction loan from The Federal Savings Bank can help you build it.

Our construction loans can be used to:
🔨 Build a new home with your preferred builder
🏡 Add onto your current property
🛠️ Renovate or update the home you’re already in

Because when your vision doesn’t fit a listing, it’s time to create something new.
