LIFESTYLE BUILDERS & DEVELOPERS HIRES NEW SALES PROFESSIONAL
Karen Britt to Lead Sales at Crimson Crest

RICHMOND, VA (August 2008) – LifeStyle Builders and Developers, Inc. is proud to announce the hiring of Karen Britt with Market Square Realty, LLC as Sales Consultant in Crimson Crest, a new home community in Chesterfield County from the low $300’s.

“We are lucky to have someone of Karen’s background and expertise on board,” said Ed Melton, sales manager of LifeStyle Builders. “Karen is a perfect fit for the community, and exemplifies the company’s high standards of professionalism and dedication to customer service.”

Ms. Britt has been a REALTOR® for seven years, with extensive experience in new home sales as well as resale properties. She specializes in working with military families relocating to and out of the Richmond market. Ms. Britt currently lives in the Chester area with her family and two dogs. She is an active member of the Richmond Association of REALTORS® and the Homebuilders Association of Richmond.

Crimson Crest is a new home community located in Chesterfield County. Ideally located off Woodpecker Road, Crimson Crest offers the much sought-after ideal of living in the country with the added value of being close to all of the conveniences of the city. The neighborhood has just 46 homesites, each 1-2 acres and heavily wooded, large enough to create a sense of privacy and personal space for your family while still maintaining a sense of community and camaraderie among neighbors. Additionally, over one third of the homesites border the banks of the gently rolling, serene Franks Branch and Swift Creek.

While the Crimson Crest lifestyle may be reminiscent of another era, all of the conveniences needed by a 21st century family are close by. Major roads such as I-95 and Route 288 are easily accessible and put everything you need at your fingertips. There are several excellent golf courses nearby and Lake Chesdin is within a 10 minute drive. Southpark Mall and Old Towne Historic Petersburg are close at hand with an abundance of shopping and dining possibilities. And Fort Lee military base is only 10 miles from Crimson Crest, making it an ideal neighborhood for military families relocating to Richmond. Children attend Chesterfield County public schools, including the new Matoaca High.

LifeStyle Builders is currently offering 14 different floor plans in Crimson Crest, with prices starting at $328,950. These homes range from 2010 to over 3575 square feet, feature 3 to 5 bedrooms, open designs, expandable living spaces with finishable third floors and basements, and some first floor owner’s suites. Once a buyer has selected their preferred floor plan and homesite, the next step is a trip to LifeStyle’s 2600 square foot Design Studio, where a professional Design Consultant will guide the homebuyer through the personalization process as they choose from hundreds of interior and exterior selections to create the home of their dreams. State-of-the-art displays and vignettes feature the latest design trends in cabinetry, flooring, lighting, faucets and finishes.

Model hours at Crimson Crest are Monday through Saturday 11:00am to 6:00pm, and Sunday 1:00pm to 6:00pm.
