You’re more than just a renter. You can invest in your future, live in a community you love, with a team by your side.
Buying your first home can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve built a process tailored just for you, so you never feel lost or pressured.
Fact: Rent prices in Wisconsin have increased by 6–8% annually. Owning your home means gaining equity, not losing money.
TOP BENEFITS OF HOMEOWNERSHIP:
We know that every step toward your first home can feel like a challenge, that’s why we offer programs to lighten the load and support your journey:
$2,500 Towards Your Move
Moving can be stressful, let us help with a $2,500 credit to make your transition smooth and affordable. This offer can be combined with our Great Rate Program!
$1,000 Doorway Program
More home, less down. Tired of saving for years? With just $1,000 down you can begin owning instead of renting.
Lease Liberation Programs
Don’t let a lease hold you back. We’ll help sublet or even cover up to 3 months’ rent (up to $4,000) after closing.
Sometimes, the best way to picture your first home is to step inside.
With our self-guided tours, you can explore select Veridian homes whenever it fits your schedule. No appointments, no pressure, just space to imagine what home might feel like.
Renting feels easy, until you realize you're building someone else’s dream.
With homeownership, your monthly payment becomes something yours. Equity you own. Value that lasts. With Veridian, it’s never just about having a roof, it’s about gaining a future you can believe in.

We purchased our first home from Veridian...
We purchased our first home from Veridian Homes and were thoroughly impressed with the entire process....One noteworthy aspect of Veridian is the quality of materials used; our house is exceptionally well-built and affordably priced. Additionally, they took over our lease for nine months, alleviating the worry of subleasing our apartment. This flexibility significantly influenced our decision to go with Veridian. We highly recommend Veridian Homes. Whether you’re considering building a custom home or looking for one of their ready-to-move-in options, you can't go wrong with Veridian. We are very happy in our new home!

After experiencing a few let downs on the regular market...
After experiencing a few let downs on the regular market, my husband and I decided to look into Veridian homes. We were so fortunate to be paired with Mikki. She really put in the time and effort to show us all of our options, connect us with a great lender, and ensure the process from touring to writing up an offer to closing was so so smooth. Mikki’s positive attitude and proactive approach allowed my husband and I to enjoy the process and not be overly stressed with buying our first home.
