Since our founding in 1979, Hecht Development has established a reputation for quality, with our team approach to business.The Hecht Development team is a small, well-knit group of professionals with many years of experience in the Lake Norman area real estate market.
From the early years building homes in the area, to the land development business in 2002, we have put our clients first and foremost.The key to success is identifying what our clients want and need, and fulfilling those wants and needs with home building and with our communities.
Every community starts with a clear understanding of each tract of land and its features, strengths and potential.By combining this local knowledge with the expertise of surveyors, engineers and designers, we create well-planned neighborhoods with the features that individuals and families want for their new home.We take a raw piece of land and create a community that fits the land, rather than utilizing heavy grading to make it fit a plan.The neighborhood should fit the land, rather than a computer produced plan.
We offer individual building sites in our communities where you can choose your site and bring your own custom plans and your own builder and use architectural review to insure quality.We also offer new home communities where distinctive area builders work to construct homes for sale.
The most important aspect of business is the willingness to listen; to listen to what your customers and clients want, and then to put that information to use when creating a new community.Our mission is to create communities that mirror our client’s needs and do that in a professional and quality manner.
