What You Need to Know About Building a New Home
You have a client who thankfully is using you to build their new home with a Builder.  In fact I cringe when I hear of buyers just walking into the builders office and buying without an agent. No one to look after their best interests. Most have no clue of what is about to happen to them. I picture the innocent rabbit in the teeth of the preditor ready to be devoured!  They don't have a clue on what they are in for, and the builders will take full advantage if no … (1 comments)
