Why Word-of-Mouth Means the World to Us at Buffum Homes

At Buffum Homes, we’ve always believed that the best kind of marketing isn’t loud or flashy. It’s a friend saying, “We had a great experience with them.” It’s a family member recommending us after seeing a finished home. It’s a past client sharing their story with someone ready to build. That kind of word-of-mouth support means everything to us—and it’s something we never take lightly.

Each year, we build around 25–30 homes, and about half of those are custom builds. Every home we build is a unique experience, and every client we work with helps shape how we continue to grow. We love what we do, and we want to thrive in this industry—not just by building beautiful homes, but by earning a strong reputation in West Michigan for how we treat people along the way.

We genuinely value our customers—not only for choosing us, but for the trust they place in our team throughout the process. When clients take time to leave a positive review, refer a friend, or offer helpful feedback, it fuels us to keep improving. We’re always looking for ways to refine the process and provide a better experience and product every time.

The reality is, our name is built on the work we do and the people we do it for. We don’t just want to meet expectations—we want to raise the bar. From communication to craftsmanship, we’re constantly learning and adjusting so that each home we build reflects our commitment to quality and care.

So to our past and current clients—thank you. Your support, referrals, and feedback are the reason Buffum Homes continues to grow. We’re proud to be a part of the West Michigan community, and even more proud to have clients who believe in what we do.

And to those considering working with us: we’re ready when you are. Let’s build something meaningful together—something that feels like home in every sense of the word.

“The entire Buffum team has been amazing to work with from start to finish. They’ve made our dream home a reality.”
