What Does it take to have a good experience

To have a great experience
when you build a home the customer needs
two primary traits:

1. The ability to make a decision

2. The ability to live within your means.

If you cannot do those two things, then perhaps renting or staying put is in order.

Your builder can HELP you with both. Notice the word HELP is capitalized. HELP means to assist. Only you can overcome.

How should your builder help you?

1. Ask if they provide Interior Design assistance.  I have been in this business for over 9 years now. After all of the homes I have built, I would NOT build my own personal home without the benefit of a professional helping to select the beautiful elements of my home.

They take the worry out of decisions. They can help a person stay on budget. They can play traffic cop between man and women. Oops, I mean a husband and wife sitting at the lighting store trying to decide between a satin nickel finish and the oil rubbed bronze.

2. Living within your means. You know, it is just a house. You can't take it with you on vacation. You can't use it to send your kid to college. No one died from eating on a countertop that wasn't granite. Don't get me wrong I love the finer things in life, but the finer things are only appreciated when you don't have to worry from the stress of being able to afford them. Your builder should serve as a guide to help you stay within budget.

Building a home is a great experience.
