We are a north metro builder with one focus: delivering move-in ready homes at transparent, all-in prices — so families spend less time waiting and more time living.
Hunter Carter
Founder & Owner
After six years working in residential construction — framing crews, project management, and site supervision — Hunter Carter saw the same frustration play out for buyer after buyer: hidden costs disclosed only at closing, construction timelines that slipped by months, and a total lack of transparency about what buyers were actually paying for.
In 2022, he founded HC Residential with a single promise: build move-in ready homes in the north metro at prices that are published, honest, and all-in. No change orders. No option upgrades that inflate the final number. No waiting eighteen months to see what you bought.
The model worked. HC Residential's first three homes in Rogers sold within weeks of completion, all to buyers who had toured the finished product, knew exactly what they were paying, and closed on time. Word spread among families, investors, and corporate relocators — and the company has grown every year since.
Hunter still walks every home before keys are handed over. He believes that a builder's reputation is built one closing at a time, and that the north metro deserves a construction company that is genuinely on the buyer's side.
“The price you see is the price you pay. That is not a slogan — it is how we have operated every single day since we opened our doors.”
Three principles guide every decision at HC Residential — from how we price homes to how we handle warranty calls.
Every home we sell has a published, all-in price. You will never discover a new fee at the closing table that was not disclosed from day one.
We share energy ratings, warranty coverage, and neighborhood data openly — because informed buyers make confident buyers.
Every HC Residential home is MN Green Path certified and built to exceed Minnesota energy code, delivering utility bills that are measurably lower than comparable homes.
Our 10-year structural warranty backs every home — and we stand behind it with a named warranty coordinator, not a call center.
Ready Homes are finished before you offer. That means you can see, inspect, and close on a home in as few as 30 days — with a contractual closing date, not a builder estimate.
We respond to every showing request within 2 hours and every offer within 24 hours because your time is as valuable as ours.
A small, focused team that takes personal responsibility for every buyer relationship.
