About Us

a builder's legacy

We grew up watching our families build homes. The magic of creating inspired us, and the hard work did not scare us. So after spending over 20 years in real estate and construction, we set out to change everything we believe was missing in custom home building.

We believe your home should be as unique you are.

We believe you deserve every one of your ideas to be heard.

And we believe you should never, ever settle for less than perfect.

Jeremy and Lydia have lived their entire lives in the Springfield/Nixa areas. They now live in Nixa with their 3 children, 3 dogs and a turtle named Ziggie. They are active in their church, their children’s school and their children’s extracurricular activities. They especially enjoy boating and camping as a family.

Jeremy graduated from Springfield Catholic High School and earned an Associate Degree in Landscape Management from Ozarks Technical Community College. He started mowing lawns at the age of 16 and grew it into a successful landscape business before selling it 16 years later in 2015.

Jeremy also began building homes in 2007 and followed the natural progression into a real estate career in 2013. In his first year as a Realtor, he climbed to the top 10% of agents with the Greater Springfield Board of Realtors and has qualified for awards every year since. Due to the number of clients, Lydia also became a realtor and they now work as a team to provide superior service to their clients.

Lydia grew up in Nixa, attended Missouri State University and has a successful background in sales. She has served in many leadership roles in their church and their children’s school and continues giving back through those venues. She has a deep-rooted interest in real estate because her father built homes while she was growing up.

  We just bought our first home, and Lydia made us feel so confident! She was very thorough and knowledgeable, friendly and personable. And most importantly to us, she was honest. She didn’t try to push a sale. She gave us all the information, good and bad, and let us process and make decisions. And of course, gave an expert opinion whenever we needed it! Thank you so much, Lydia and the Eck Group! Our home is perfect for us!

  Lydia and Jeremy helped me with purchasing my first home last month, and they were terrific to work with.  They took time to understand my needs, gave great input on what I should be looking for, and were very detail oriented.  They helped me with any questions I had as a first time buyer, and were always prompt with showings and correspondence.

I ended up with a great home at a fair price.  We did a few final inspections of the home, and attention to detail was evident.  They even waited for a rainy day to go check the crawl space to ensure water wasn't getting underneath the house.  This was an all around excellent experience!  Don't pass these folks up!

  As first time homeowners, Jeremy walked us through every step of the process. There was no pressure to buy and no rush to make a decision. In fact, he encouraged us to take time to discuss how we felt about houses we had chosen. He was very approachable and cared about us being happy with our house for the long term. With our busy schedule... and his, he always made time to meet with us personally either same day or next day, night or weekend. Most importantly we could text, email, or call and he would answer our questions completely. Two years later and we are still very happy with our first time buy. Thanks, Jeremy!
