"This business is exciting because there's always something new. It's always just
fun," she says. "We're very lucky in Winnipeg; our Parade of Homes is fantastic. I
think it's one of the best across the country."
'This business is exciting because
there's always something new. It's
always just fun. We're very lucky
in Winnipeg; our Parade of Homes
is fantastic. I think it's one of the
best across the country.'
Ventura Custom Homes has nine show homes in the
fall Parade under the company's new banner, Welcome
Home to Value. Sobie says the slogan reflects the company's original mission.
"The owner of our company, when I started here,
said his goal was always to build what he would call,
'Sak's Fifth Avenue homes at Walmart prices,' " she says
laughing.
But Ventura takes the idea seriously and staff are always finding ways to improve the product.
Customers will find special value in the kitchen, with
details such as crown and under-cabinet molding, new
choices for flooring and countertops, and thoughtful
conveniences such as two drawers for pots and pans.
"We try to include lots of options in the price," Sobie says. "We try to always focus
on the kitchen."
But there are plenty of unique touches in other rooms as well — feature walls in
accent paint colours, or front doors painted to pick up on a colour in the exterior
stone, for example.
