| Custom Home Building Thinking of building a custom home? You may think you don't need a realtor and that a middleman might drive up the costs. You may be thinking you know exactly what you want in a new home and how to go about getting it. But there's so much to consider and we will assist you along the way. Assistance is offered to you for location and lot selection, choosing a builder, solving design challenges, developing the contract and selecting financing. You may not realize that there is no extra charge for your realtor's expertise. Builders usually have a marketing fee built into the home price so that their neighborhood homes are equally priced and so that they have realtor support and the repeat business they bring. In fact, you may actually be paying a fee for the services of a realtor, but not receiving all the benefits of realtor involvement. Location, Location! Understanding our market is a critical piece of the Debbie Taylor Realtor Group's livelihood. Who knows the region's housing locations better than someone who spends hours comparing neighborhoods and homes on a weekly basis? We can assist you in selecting areas that best suit your needs and wants. You can build the most wonderful home in the world, but if it's in the wrong location, you may not be able to enjoy it or see full appreciation of its value. We are here to help ascertain how a home will fit into a particular neighborhood considering factors such as price, design and how the home will be situated on a chosen lot. Don't Make Design Mistakes! Spending numerous hours viewing new and resale homes throughout our marketplace, we can offer valid recommendations about which floor plans may be best suited for your needs or lifestyle. We may also be able to take you to view existing homes with a similar floor plan so you can get a better visual of how the plan looks and feels once complete. Choosing a Builder: As you go through the process it is beneficial to consult with a realtor to assist in selecting the right builder to meet your needs. It is imperative to know the reputation of the builder and the satisfaction of past clients. While a builder deserves to make a fair profit, you may feel you would like a to obtain a second price. We would be happy to review these with you to confirm we are comparing apples to apples. Details and Contract Assistance: Having a Realtor involved during plan speculation and pricing will ensure that the proposed home will be priced competitively. The builder will price the home and its components knowing that your Realtor understands fair cost. Your realtor's presence will also help prevent miscommunication and disagreements with the builder. Financing: We can also assist you with obtaining proper construction financing. One of the major efforts we can coordinate is the sale of your current home while the new home is being completed! This applies to homes in our area as well as out of state! It is very beneficial to have your Realtor early in the process put together a marketing plan that will help sell your home and prevent you from having to move twice. If you are considering building a new home in the future or purchasing in a new home community - give yourself less stress - give us a call! | |
