Why You Need This Blog

Buying a new home can be a scary proposition. For most of us it is the largest purchase we will make in our lives. There are three basic ways that we purchase a home:

1. You buy an existing home, accept it or remodel it. It will have selections, i.e. carpet, tile, vinyl, counter tops, and cabinets that we might like or that you will want to change as soon as you move in.. Remember it will not have been built to the most up to date codes or with the most up to date materials.

2. You can buy a finished inventory home from a homebuilder. You have the same situation as with the existing resale. You might get the homebuilder to make some selection changes for you at a price (nothing is free) or you can accept what is there.

3. You can build a home from dirt. This is the most desirable if you want to have the dream home you deserve. You can put in what you want and everything where you want it.  No compromise.  It really is less expensive to put in upgrades during the construction process than it is after the home is complete.

Most of us are afraid of building from dirt because of the horror stories we have heard from our friends, family or people in passing. Most of these stories are created because there is a lack of understanding of what happens during the construction process. With a little education you will not be overwhelmed by what happens on your  job site. Knowing what happens next, having an ideal of what the contractor should be doing will lessen the stress and help put you in control. Knowledge is power and when your homebuilder knows you have a resource, you can be assured that he will keep your best interest in mind.  Let me and this blog be your resource.  You can and will get that education that will give you confidence in the process and lessen the stress that the lack of knowledge gives us all..  Your builder will know that you have new home construction knowledge.  This will place you and your new home on a higher level of attention than their normal customer.
