Inka Partners Develops complimentary developments for the neighborhood Each site is evaluated in relation to the neighborhood by utilizing market research and development expertise. Our background allows us to determine the development that works for the site and is not limited to a specific product type. We respect the unique characteristics of each property and work to create a modern home meeting today's lifestyle but at the same time restore and keep many of the benefits that are inherent to the quality and uniqueness of the original home. Puts the team together A project can only succeed with the right team, including private interests and community participation. We hire all of the contractors for each project as well as all staff personnel and have worked with our contractors for many years. Our role is to bring together the right team and orchestrate their interaction for a successful project, We continue to work in these neighborhoods and work with our neighbors to minimize our impact on their property and keep them aware of our plans and progress. Dedicates itself to quality As a small firm, each partner is involved in every aspect of the development achieving a "hands-on" approach to each project. Our aim is to provide quality developments; therefore we never take on more projects than can be handled directly by the partners at any one time. Each home is designed to maximize its unique space, to create a functional floorplan and use high quality, timeless finishes. Our focus on the details ensures each space is not only beautifully designed but also fully functional. Builds trusting and long relationships Working with a long-term perspective, our work is limited to a small number of projects so that we can provide each with the highest level of service. In this same way, we strive to develop long term relationships with clients as well as project vendors and community leaders to ensure a strong working relationship. Provides continued support and availability after closing We realize our relationship with the new owner does not end at closing. Our commitment extends to the warranty and we are committed to our quality of work which is why we always make ourselves available. This is evident as we continue to do developments in the same neighborhoods, and even get new properties from recommendations of previous buyers and neighbors. We consider ourselves part of the neighborhood and our reputation is part of our success. Inka Partner's Developments: RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES 1763 W. Cullom 4222 N. Hermitage 5637 N. Glenwood 1831 W.
