When you’re building a new home, you want to hire someone who you can trust that will get the job done properly and on time. Regardless of what kind of home you’re building, you’d want to expect nothing but the best from them. So, here are some tips in choosing the right home builder.
If you already have the image of your perfect home in mind, then you can start looking for prospective builders to do the project. Here are a few pointers you should take into consideration:
Contact your local home builders association, and gather a list of trustworthy builders that have previously worked in your area.
Check your newspaper’s real estate section, and see if there are any active builders in your area. This is also the chance to see what kind of homes they can create and their rates so that you can adjust your budget accordingly.
You can contact local real estate agents to narrow down your search.
Ask friends and relatives for recommendations of home builders with whom they have previously worked.
Once you’ve gathered a list of prospective builders to work with, get ready to ask them any questions you may have in mind.
Ask your builders if they can give you references of recent occupants. Do they have flexible financial arrangements? Do they have warranties? What are the estimated taxes on the property?
Visit the home builder’s recently finished projects. Introduce yourself to the homeowners, and explain that you’re inspecting accomplished projects from your prospective home builder. This is the perfect time to ask them about their experience with them. You can ask how their home building project went? How easy was it to work with them? The more opinions you gather, the better you can understand the builder. You can see if the home’s design is to your liking as well.
Whenever you’re at an open house viewing, look out for the quality of the construction features. See how stable the structure is, and inspect the cabinetry, woodwork, exterior paint and even the roofing. Try and get into the specifics as investing in a new home is a significant investment. Never shy away from asking questions no matter how small they may seem as they may hold important answers.
