Buying a new home is thrilling, but having a new home built (especially by Landon Homes) for you is even more exciting.
I've been a New Home Sales Consultant for many years representing builders with decked out beautiful Model Homes.When considering a new home, nothing is more important than selecting the right builder.
As you consider various builders, remember you have a right to and need to ask every question that you think is important. The Sales Consultant should be eager to answer all of your questions, or if he can't, he should be able to get the answers for you quickly.
I encourage you to use these questions to learn important information about each builder.
Starting with the obvious, but I’m surprised that many of our customers don’t ask me this question….
- What is your experience, how long have you been building homes?
You want a builder that has experience, because things come up during construction and you want to make sure your builder has the experience or knowledge to deal with. Look for a builder that has a proven track record, professional business approach, strong technical skills and, of course, the knowledge.
-
What building qualities set you apart from other builders in the area?
Find out what this builder does different than the rest. For instance, do they use a Zip Wall System instead of the paper wrap? How about Radiant Barrier Roof System? What energy efficiency techniques do they use that is over and above the typical builder's offering.
- Can we see any of the homes you have built?
Visit homes that are in various stages of construction to see what goes on behind the walls and behind the Model Home scenes
- Will you give references from past clients?
This is a great indicator of the construction process. The Sales Representative can tell you all day long that they have "Happy Landon Home Owners" but a discussion with past clients will help you determine that for your self.
There may be other important questions you wish to ask, so feel free to add them. This Article from the New Home Source is a great starting going to select the company that is going to build your new home.
