THE TOP THREE TIPS AND TRICKS USED BY THE BEST HOME BUILDERS

Like a good entertainer, the best home builders will keep you following along as you build your dream home. Your interest and involvement ensures the best result for you, your lifestyle, and your family. Here are three tools of the trade to look for in your home builder:

 1. The best home builders are customer-focused.
Look for a builder who conducts a customer interview. As the buyer, you’ll have plenty of choices in your floor plan, your community, your site selection, and your optional upgrades. A discussion with an expert will not only answer your questions but also allow the builder to suggest what may work best for you. 

2. The best home builders are excellent communicators.
Before breaking ground, you need a clear understanding of the budget. The complete cost of finishes, materials, and upgrades is a must-have. After breaking ground, you’ll want updates on timing. You may be re-locating, selling a previous home, or unable to visit the site in person as often as you’d like. Instead of dealing with voicemail and busy signals, work with a builder who proactively communicates the status in the mode that works best for you. 

3. The best home builders are committed to quality.
One of the reasons you are buying new is to avoid the headache of unpredictable home repairs and premature replacement costs. These wishes are only granted with quality materials and quality construction. A builder who offers a competitive warranty and referral program, encourages customer testimonials, and maintains a high rating with the Better Business Bureau is the way to go. Quality is important in your new home investment for peace of mind, safety, and re-sale value.
