At Vazquez Family Builders, we often get asked about the difference between a developer and a home builder—especially by real estate agents who are new to working with new construction homes.
The reality? Most companies specialize in one or the other—but we do both.
As both developers and home builders, we have a unique advantage in the Florida real estate market. This means we can control the entire process from land acquisition to home construction, ensuring a seamless experience, high quality, and exceptional value for our buyers.
What Does a Developer Do?
A developer is responsible for turning raw land into a community where homes can be built. This process involves:
✔ Land Acquisition – Finding and purchasing undeveloped land.
✔ Planning & Engineering – Working with engineers, surveyors, and architects to design streets, drainage, and utilities.
✔ Infrastructure Development – Installing roads, sidewalks, water, sewer, and electricity.
✔ Amenity Planning – Designing parks, pools, clubhouses, and walking trails to enhance community appeal.
✔ Selling Homesites to Builders – Once the land is developed, homesites are sold to builders who construct the homes.
Most developers do not build homes. They create the community framework, but they rely on home builders to bring the neighborhood to life.
What Does a Home Builder Do?
A home builder focuses on constructing the actual houses that families will live in. Their role includes:
✔ Buying Homesites from Developers – Builders purchase lots that are ready for construction.
✔ Designing Floor Plans & Features – Creating home designs that fit the community and buyers’ needs.
✔ Constructing the Home – Managing the entire building process, from foundation to final finishes.
✔ Selling the Home to Buyers – Working with buyers to customize features and finalize purchases.
Many home builders only buy land within existing communities, limiting customization and flexibility for buyers.

🏡 Offer land + home packages – Buyers can purchase a turnkey home in one of our communities or build on their own land.
