Perry Realty Washington County Branch

The brokerage represents Perry Homes, a Utah builder, so the office sells that company's new construction rather than working the general resale market. Coral Canyon is the master-planned golf community on the Washington side of the county, which puts the office inside the area much of its inventory sits in.

A builder’s sales arm

This is the sales side of a homebuilding operation, so its inventory is largely the company's own construction rather than general resale. That is an advantage on a new build — the people selling it know how it was put together and what can still be changed — and a limit if you want an unbiased comparison across builders, which is exactly what independent representation is for.

The setting

The office is on Coral Canyon, the master-planned golf community on the Washington side of the county. Washington city adjoins St. George on the east and has absorbed a large share of the county’s new subdivisions, spreading up into Coral Canyon and Green Springs and south across the Washington Fields. Reading outward from the door, the nearest communities in our directory are Coral Canyon, Sienna Hills and Sand Hollow Resort.

HOA documents are the real due diligence

Most newer housing in Washington County sits inside an association, and the association's documents decide more about daily life there than the floor plan does: what can park on the street, whether a casita can be rented, how the landscaping must be kept, whether short-term rental is allowed at all. Those documents arrive during due diligence, and they are the part buyers most often skim. Ask your agent at Perry Realty Washington County Branch for the full packet, not the summary. Our guide to water, HOAs and landscaping covers what to look for.

If you are choosing between offices, it is worth reading two or three of these pages side by side — the brokerage directory lists them all. Our guide to working with an agent covers what to ask once you have a shortlist.
