David Rogers Homes

David Rogers Homes is the Lubbock custom builder that publishes the most — neighborhoods, “from the” prices, the process, the warranty — which makes it the easiest custom builder in town to read before you meet. It also publishes three different counts of how many homes it has built, which is a reminder to confirm the numbers that matter to you.

Where I stand, so you can weigh what you read here. I work closely with Ventura Homes — they are the builder I know best and the one I walk clients through most often. I am saying that up front because a builder guide written as though the author has no point of view is not being straight with you. It does not change a word of what follows: everything on this page comes from the builder’s own published pages, with the date I read them, and I will represent you on a purchase from this builder properly and without hesitation.

What the builder publishes

Founded in Lubbock in 1987 (Meet the Team), the builder describes itself as a custom homebuilder — “no standard floor plans that cannot be altered” — that will also build on your own lot and builds investment properties. On 2026-10-22 its neighborhoods page listed seven: Escondido Ranch (50th and Alcove, “New Custom Homes from the $300’s”, from 1,900 sq ft, rear entry), Kelsey Park (“from the mid $300’s” on the detail page, 2,000 sq ft and up, rear entry with paved alleys), The Ridge (98th and Upland, from the mid $300’s, 2,200 sq ft and up), Preston Manor (from the $300’s), Sundance Estates (138th and Frankford, half-acre sites, from the $500’s, 2,400 sq ft and up), Fountain Hills Estates (half-acre lots bordering 114th, “from the mid $400’s” on the detail page), and South Fork Ranch (one-acre-plus lots on south Slide past Woodrow, from the mid $600’s). The overview page and the detail pages disagree on three of those “from” figures — the detail-page figures are quoted here with their URLs. One home was listed available that day: 7515 57th in Escondido Ranch, 2,232 sq ft, $449,000, with a published $15,000 incentive toward closing costs or a rate buydown (Available Homes).

The published process is eight steps, with a 5–6-month build from contract, a draftsman-finalized plan taken to the city for permit, and a Selections Room with decorator-assembled Design Groups (Construction Process). Model home: 7520 55th Street in Escondido Ranch.

Warranty, financing, agents

Warranty — clearly published: “Each new home includes 1-year workmanship and materials warranty, 2-year systems warranty, and 10-year structural warranty,” with a full-time warranty department (Questions to Ask). Financing: “While you are free to use any lender you choose, David Rogers Homes works with a preferred lender,” which the page does not name. Agents: no policy on working with buyer’s agents is published; the site does note that David Rogers Jr. is himself a licensed real estate agent and broker. Ask what they need from you and your agent before your first meeting, and get it in writing.

Before you decide: the builder I work with most closely

If you are far enough along to be reading a page like this one, spend an afternoon with more than one builder — and I would want Ventura Homes to be one of them. I know their communities and their plan library, I know who to call when a question needs a real answer instead of a brochure answer, and I can usually get that answer the same day. You can walk their full floor-plan library here before you ever visit a model home. If this builder turns out to be the better fit for you, that is a fine outcome and I will get you through it. Do not decide before you have looked at both.

Compensation disclosure. If you buy a home from this builder — or from Ventura, or any other builder — with me representing you, the builder may pay a commission to my brokerage, Realty Refined. That is the normal arrangement in new construction. Your buyer representation agreement, which we sign before we tour, states exactly what you owe and how any builder-paid amount is credited; a builder-paid commission does not by itself make representation “free” to you.

Working with a REALTOR® on a David Rogers Homes purchase

I am not here to talk you into or out of any builder. What I do is represent your side: reading the builder’s contract (it is the builder’s own paperwork, not the standard Texas resale form), keeping the schedule honest, standing on your end of the walkthrough and the inspection — yes, you still want an independent inspection on a brand-new home — and, if you own a home already, running the sale and the purchase as one plan instead of two crises.

The one thing with a clock on it: name your agent at your first contact with the builder, before you tour. Where this builder publishes its own rule, it is quoted above; where it does not, ask them directly what they need from you and your agent before the first visit, and keep the answer.
