Real Estate Agent with Fickling & Company

Building a home in Warner Robins GA is a good option to consider. I like to give my customers all options available and let them make their own decision which is best for them. Options range from New Construction, Resale Homes, and Building a New Home. A good reason to use a Realtor is to explore and understand all your options available. You can read more advantages of using a Realtor at my Warner Robins Real Estate Virtual Tour Blog

Building a New Construction home can be an enjoyable, low stress experience if you choose the right Realtor and a good builder. Here are some easy to follow steps in building a custom built home.

1.       Do you have a home you need to sell in order to buy/build?

1.       Get prequalified with a local lender to determine if you must sell in order to build

1.       Find out how much you qualify for and get a pre-approval letter

2.       Find out how much you current home is worth

1.       Get a Free Market Analysis from a Realtor

3.       Determine how approximately how long it will take to sell your current home - it takes about 3 months to build

2.       Make a list of extras/specialty items you want in your home

3.       Review some possible floor plans online such as

1.       http://www.frankbetz.com/

2.       http://www.dongardner.com/

4.       Pick a date when you would like to get together

1.       Sit down with me and discuss what you want in a home

2.       Meet my builder

3.       Discuss size of home, location, amenities, floor plans, and general price ranges of homes and extras

4.       Decide if you want to build

5.       Write a contract to include everything you want in your home

1.       Important items in contract include

1.       Purchase Price

2.       Closing Costs

3.       Closing Date - Average time to build is 3 months

4.       Earnest Money

5.       Inspection

6.       New Construction Exhibit - Shows what builder plans on installing/building with home

7.       Special Stipulations - Clarifies any items that seller or buyer wants added or changed to contract

6.       Start picking out items for home right away

1.       Builder's Wife does a wonderful job at helping buyer's choose interior and exterior colors, carpet, ceramic tile, flooring, cabinets, countertops, and light fixtures.

7.       If you don't live in the area I can check on the home's progress and send emails and pictures as the home is being built.

8.       Do a final walk-through of the home and ensure everything is correct

9.       Day of closing - Go to the closing attorney's office, sign papers, and get key to home. No payments until after closing.

After closing - Builder's Home Warranty is good for 1 Year

Hi John,

What a great guide to designing and building your own home! I'd like to add, if I may, another resource to the discussion...

Here's a great collection of articles written just for people planning to build their own homes:

New House Building Article Directory

And here are 10 Free Worksheets for Building Your New Home that should really help people to get off on the right foot.

Thanks and have a great 4th of July weekend!
