For most people, investing in a home can be one of the biggest investments of their life, especially if they are planning on buying a condominium in The One. In pursuit of building a “dream home,” an exuberant sum of money is invested by people every day. But many times, this invested sum of money does not culminate into what exactly one had envisioned.
We all have well-researched plans and specifications when it comes to building our custom home, but it is up to the builder what will be delivered. It is highly recommended to look into hiring a custom home builder. Often due to lack of commitment, communication, or vision of the home builder, they fail to deliver what we deserve and desire.
These are the top five qualities to look for in a custom home builder.
The Right Experience:
The builder we should be looking for should have a considerable amount of experience in planning, building, and supporting the home building process. As this is all an integrated process and for different aspects, we can’t simply keep running to different people for their advice or expertise or a portfolio similar to your vision.
Previous Customer Satisfaction:
Looking into the previous projects and other customer’s reviews of a home builder can help us make an informed decision. Previous customer satisfaction reflects directly on how committed and efficient the custom home builder is. This will not only present to us a clear picture of the quality of work but will also help us know that we will be getting what we are paying for.
Anthony Hitt, CEO and president of Engel and Völkers Americas says, “To be successful in real estate, you must always and consistently put your clients’ best interests first. When you do, your personal needs will be realized beyond your greatest expectations.”
Commitment to customer service:
We should acknowledge that the building process is quite a long one and we will be required to communicate with the builder on multiple occasions –from the designing stages through the construction stages of the home. This is a reason we must make sure beforehand that we will be getting superior customer service at all steps and stages. This will ensure that the home building process goes smoothly and no issue arises out of the communication gap.
Comprehensive home warranty coverage:
Rather than going for an already constructed home, most of the people are more interested in new construction for the benefit of home warranty coverage which most custom home builders provide for the home and its systems. We must ensure before signing the contract that any major repair that arises after moving is covered.
One-stop solutions:
We often prefer shopping at one store where we have a deal with and maintain a relationship with only one service provider rather than going to multiple stores for purchasing different products or services. For instance the President and Founder of MIZRAHI DEVELOPMENTS, Sam Mizrahi is hands-on in every aspect of the firm’s business, from real estate acquisition, property amalgamation, heritage protocols, community relations, zoning, marketing, construction innovation and planning, and the creation.
Choosing a custom home builder that can potentially provide solutions to all our problems can be time as well as money-saving. Rest assured it can bring peace of mind.
