Recognized. Trusted. Community-Driven.
For over two decades, Rosewood Homes & Real Estate has been building homes, strengthening neighborhoods, and giving back across the Sioux Falls area. Founded by Larry and Rachael Weissenburger, our work has been recognized by industry organizations, featured in local media, and honored through awards spanning custom home building, real estate, and community service.

Community Impact — Building Miracles for Kids
In 2013, Larry and Rachael Weissenburger founded Building Miracles for Kids, Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to making a tangible difference for children and families in the Sioux Falls area.
The concept was simple but powerful: unite the local building community — contractors, suppliers, tradespeople, and volunteers — to build a home from the ground up, then donate the proceeds to children’s charities.
Sanford Children’s Miracle Network (2014)
The first Miracle Home was completed in late 2013 and sold in early 2014, with proceeds donated to Sanford Health’s Children’s Miracle Network — one of the largest contributions to the organization from a local homebuilder-led initiative.
Children’s Home Society of South Dakota (2017)
The second Building Miracles project raised funds for Children’s Home Society of South Dakota, as featured in SiouxFalls.Business.
Building Miracles for Kids is registered with Charity Navigator and GuideStar (EIN: 46-2141918).
Festival of Trees — Christmas Tree Donation & Auction
Rosewood Homes & Real Estate decorated and donated a Christmas tree to the Festival of Trees gala benefiting Avera Health in Sioux Falls. The beautifully decorated tree was auctioned off at the event, with proceeds supporting Avera’s charitable care and community health programs. The Rosewood team came together to create a tree that reflected the craftsmanship and heart behind everything they do.
Home Builders Association Mall Golf — Custom Hole Design & Fundraiser
For two years in a row, Larry and Rachael Weissenburger designed and built a custom mini golf hole for the Home Builders Association of the Sioux Empire‘s Mall Golf fundraiser. Their signature creation was a handcrafted windmill hole — built from scratch by Larry and Rachael — showcasing the creativity and craftsmanship that defines Rosewood Homes. Proceeds from the event benefited the Home Builders Association of the Sioux Empire.

READY TO START THE CONVERSATION?
Whether you are envisioning a custom home build in Sioux Falls, thinking about a remodel, or ready to buy or sell — we would love to hear from you. No pressure. No sales pitch. Just a real conversation about what you want and how we can help.
YOUR LOCAL SIOUX FALLS HOME BUILDER & REALTORS®
Larry and Rachael Weissenburger have been building custom homes in Sioux Falls, South Dakota since 2004. As both a licensed general contractor and licensed REALTOR®, Rosewood Homes offers a unique advantage — we can help you sell your current home, find the perfect lot, and build your dream custom home, all with one team you trust.
Unlike large production home builders, Rosewood limits the number of custom homes we build each year in the Sioux Falls area. This means your home builder is on your job site daily — not juggling a long list of projects across town. From new construction in Harrisburg and Brandon to custom homes on acreage outside Sioux Falls, every Rosewood project gets the personal attention it deserves.
