STOP! DON'T VISIT A NEW HOME CENTER WITHOUT AN AGENT
STOP! BEFORE YOU VISIT A NEW HOME CENTER, YOU MUST HAVE ME THERE.... Why? Why Do You Want An Agent To Help You On A New Home Sale? Here's What I Will Do: I always go to the sales office for the initial visit to sign them in and discussions, walking lots and helping them to choose their lots and location. I also attend the contract meeting and make sure that the buyers understand what they are signing. It can be overwhelming. I also will have visited the sales office several times in advance of ever taking my clients so that I am familiar with the builders workflow, the sales agents (who we will be dealing with), and ask what incentives are being offered. (Usually they are offering a credit toward design center or closing costs (or both sometimes) with utilization of the builder's lender) If the credit would be helpful to my buyers I suggest they use builder's lender.) Then once under contract, there will be benchmark dates which the builder will have for the phases of construction if the home isn't built yet. The Buyers first walk through is usually the electrical walk through when the house is fully framed and all the electrical is in specific to what the buyers ordered at the design center. (Sometimes at the design center the buyer will choose to upgrade CAT 6 or additional electrical outlets, cable outlets and which wall they go on etc. I have had clients spend $50,000 in design center upgrades. For those on a budget, it can be a bit intimidating going to the design center and there may be somethings like flooring which they could do after-market and get a better deal, since most builders have a builders package of flooring and appliance and counters etc. The next walk through depends on builder but sometime after all drywall is installed. Then there is a final walk through to go over the delivery of the home and the fit and finish. The builder warranty is something to pay attention to and make sure buyers understand what is covered and what is not. Most builder warranties are pretty good. (If you are visiting several communities during the looking process, that is a great question to ask the sales rep, what warranties they offer. Some are 5 years while others are 10 years. During the final walk-through is when a punch list is created of things that are wrong with the property. I always attend this meeting as well, and you really need to mark the things on a list of things you see that are wrong. The customer service reps (depending on which builder) can push back a bit and this is where I can fight for you. I had a home delivery meeting and there were a lot of unfinished things, cabinet drawers misaligned, dings in drywall, chips in baseboards, and the master bedroom carpet appeared to have been cleaned like something was spilled on it. I had to fight with the customer service rep to replace the carpet. You have to escalate these things sometimes and get the sales rep involved.
