WHAT DO NEW HOME SHOPPERS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT A HOME BUILDING PROJECT?

What does a home building project and shopping have in common? A new home is one of the biggest shopping decisions you’ll make in a lifetime. Like any smart shopper, you’ll do best when you compare, look for quality, and work with a trusted salesperson.

Compare the home building process.
When shopping, a comparison of similar items gives you confidence in your buying decision. For example, if you need a new pair of black pumps, there are a variety of stores, heel heights, materials, and prices to consider. When you do settle on the patent leather three-inch Mary Jane style, you’re confident that you scoured the market and got the best bang for your buck.

In the same way, your builder will offer you a variety of communities and floor plans. Take care to ensure your selection meets your complete checklist. A certain location may be closer to work and another community may be near your child’s school. One floor plan might be more suited for a growing family and another for empty nesters near retirement. Rest assured, your builder can help you filter and sort the options.

Commit to quality in the home building experience.
The least expensive item when shopping for clothes may not have double stich seams or a material that resists fraying. Likewise, it pays to work with an experienced builder committed to durable construction materials and techniques. Your home builder should offer a comprehensive warranty to back-up quality work.

Work with the right builder for your home building project.
Certain stores at the mall pay their salespeople a commission. Shoppers don’t want to be pushed into buying a dressing room full of clothes that don’t work with their wardrobe or their budget. A reputable builder commits to building the home you have in mind. It’s not always the most expensive layout or community in the catalog of options.
