new home construction: Baldwin Park Builder Knows What Is Important to a Buyer in Today's Market - 11/25/08 03:52 PM
In today's market, builders who want to survive should take a few lessons from David Weekley Homes in Baldwin Park, which is a master planned community near Downtown Orlando.
David Weekley Homes not only builds a great product, but they also work hard to foster relationships with local real estate agents and their clients.
I can write this with confidence as my clients and I have been working with Brent Bartholomew, one of the DWH Sales Consultants, for more than a year now. Even though we have had multiple meetings, asked a few hundred questions (seriously!) and had negotiations so intense that … (4 comments)

new home construction: Buying a New Home In Seminole County? Be Sure To Take Your REALTOR With You! - 10/28/08 08:46 AM
Many times, Buyers think that they don't need a REALTOR when buying a new home directly from a builder.
