Start Here

One partner across four disciplines

Building a DADU is complex — it requires expertise in finance, construction, legal structure, and real estate strategy. Most homeowners don't know where to start or who to trust.

HeartLink Homes is your real estate advisor and connection point. We handle the education and the real estate; our building partner handles the design, the financing, and the construction.

Our Role

How HeartLink Homes serves you

Two things come before any construction decision: understanding what your property can actually support, and being connected to people who can execute.

1. DADU education & strategy

We help you understand what's possible on your property and clarify your goals — whether that's rental income, sale, family housing, or downsizing. Our education-first approach includes:

  • Understanding what's possible on your specific property
  • Clarifying your goals (rental income, sale, family housing, downsizing)
  • Explaining HB 1337 advantages specific to your situation
  • Providing market analysis for your location
  • Guiding you through the decision-making process
  • No pressure, just education and honest advice

2. Connection to the best resources

We partner with an award-winning design-build firm with a 15-year record of state and national remodeling awards. Our strategic partners offer:

  • Flexible financing options (several programs available)
  • Award-winning design and construction
  • Comprehensive project management
  • Legal expertise (condominiumization, LLC, HOA setup)
  • Property management services (if desired)

We've vetted these partners extensively — you benefit from our established relationships.

Our Role · Part Three

3. Real estate transaction expertise

Partners build. We sell. When the units are finished — or when your main house goes on the market — the transaction is ours to manage.

About This Guide & Sources

Our role: HeartLink Homes is a licensed real estate brokerage. We are not a builder, a contractor, or a lender. Design, construction, and financing are handled by our building partner. Any construction cost, timeline, financing, or return figure on this page is reported by that partner from their own projects — it is not verified, offered, or guaranteed by HeartLink Homes, and it is not a projection of what your property will do. Our role is education, referral, and real estate representation if you later sell a DADU or your main house.

Engage the building, financing, and legal partners described here under their own agreements, and verify their licensing.
