This episode is dedicated to the end of the seemingly long journey. You’ve purchased your home and now it’s ready! You think it’s as simple as getting your key and moving in, but there’s a lot more that goes on behind the scenes! Natalie speaks once more with Corey Mitchell, owner of Sticks and Stones Custom Homes, about the wrap up after a client moves into their new home.
Marketing a home to potential buyers is tough and staging is critical! You must get good sales representation. Realtors doing open houses, advertising, a spec sheet- anything possible to attract a buyer. In return, buyers shouldn’t be afraid to make an offer on the new property. It’s no different than making an offer on a resale home. Buyers who offer early in the build process are going to get the best deals!.
“You don’t need a good lawyer when things go right, you need a great lawyer when things go wrong.” That is insurability. Things unintentionally go wrong about half the time and contracts are there to save you. There’s nothing wrong with protecting yourself, it’s just prudent. Always look for a great lawyer who can create the most detailed contract possible to protect you in your purchase experience. Buying homes under construction are more complex contracts for sure!
What’s important to recognize is that just because something is new, doesn’t mean it’s problem free. And just because something has a problem, doesn’t mean it’s a weak build. Sometimes there’s brutal weather that causes delays. Things happen! Things are going to go wrong but it’s how your builder handles your requests that says everything about who they are as a businessperson.
“An experienced realtor that understands building is worth their weight in gold! They get that it’s all about minutia and not missing a single detail. This is true right down to what the toilet paper holder will look like.”
