At River Bend Homes, we pride ourselves on providing a truly Custom Built Home. If you bring us a floor plan, we can build it. Plus, with a wide array of high quality decor options that are typically only found in stick built homes, you get the quality at an affordable price.

In House Realtor

If you’re putting a project together, you can take one step out of the process and simplify your experience.

Lender Direct Financing

We offer ‘lender direct’ financing.  Our main lender who specializes in system built housing is available 6 days a week, can meet you at their office or in our store.  Going direct with the lender takes away chances for miscommunication, speeds up communication, and takes another worry of the shoulders of our customers.  Here is a link to our main lender: https://mortgage.lhfs.com/lizowens/

River Bend does business differently. We consider ourselves like a big family whose main goal is helping you achieve the dream of homeownership. We’re confident that when you shop around with other retailers, the relaxed atmosphere, no-pressure sales staff, and aggressive pricing will bring you back to River Bend Homes. Your happiness and satisfaction is how we measure our success.

Hi, I’m Rollie. I like to hang out wherever my dad is, which is usually River Bend Homes. I like playing fetch and pestering my stepbrother, Leo the cat. I might come off as a little gruff when you first meet me, but throw my ball and I’ll be your friend for life!

TransLift

I was adopted by River Bend Homes in 2021. My favorite color is yellow. I love to see our customers happy and smiling. That’s why the favorite part of my job is helping customer houses around sharp corners. Once they see their house being delivered with my help, they realize that their dream is coming true right before their eyes. I also like moving homes around the River Bend sales lot so our customers can have the best buying experience possible. When not on the clock, I enjoy guarding the River Bend shop from bad guys.

House Tug

I’m not a regular employee of River Bend Homes, but TransLift is my best friend. I do occasionally get hired by River Bend Homes when they are needing to move a house into a difficult location. My favorite house moves are when TransLift helps me. River Bend’s customers are in awe when they see the intricate maneuvers that we perform when TransLift and I work together.
