 As experience is very important for any new
business.
 We need to understand that every builder is
new at some point.
 If builder doesn’t give you any references, ask
for them.
 Contact past clients and ask them why they
chose this builder, what the process was like,
and whether they were satisfied with the final
product.
 When you speak with the builder and the past
clients ask about the quality of the home.
 The builder shouldn’t only tell you they do
quality work, but what makes it good quality.
 Make sure to look for evidence of quality
craftsmanship and details.
 Investigate to find out if past products had
maintained their resale value or if it went up.
 This is attainable information and should be
considered.
 Find out who will be overseeing the
construction of your home, who will be
keeping you updated, and who you can call
when you have questions.
 Knowing who will be involved and how you as
the client will be cared for is very important.
 This is a long process, so you will be working
with them for a long period of time.
 If you don’t like the service or don’t feel they
treat you well it could be a frustrating
process.
 Real estate agents and other people in the
industry work with builders often and hear
great things or not so great things.
 Take advantage of their knowledge.
 You could even invite them along with you
when you interview builders, you can ask the
right questions and they can give their best
opinion.
