Building a New Home-Yours!

With tough economic conditions in our midst, contractors like Structures Unlimited of Forest, Inc., should be a consideration if you are considering making a move! You may think that building costs are lower at this time, however, most building materials are seeing an increase in costs due to weather related conditions that have increased supply and demand. However, construction labor has been affected and may offer you an opportunity to afford the home of your dreams.

Most builders offer a variety of home plans for you to choose or alter, or have a draftsman that they work with to customize a plan to our specifications. A builder will inspect the lot or property that you choose to locate your home, or may have access to lots where they can receive discounts on lot purchases that can be incorporated into your project. Either way, grading costs of the property are an important consideration in the construction pricing.

Quality contractors use quality materials in the construction of the product, so when you ask to cut a price, consider that you may be cutting the quality of the home which will also affect the value. Be aware of all allowances such as lighting fixtures, floor coverings, cabinetry as your choices affect your bottom line.. Its very easy to add a little here, a little more there, and then, at the end of the job, find that your allowances have exceeded your budget to a large degree. Be sure to ask that your builder keeps you informed as to costs as you progress. Also, be sure when shopping contractors, that you compare apples to apples with relation to materials, and services.

Building your custom home should be a rewarding and satisfying process-ensure your satisfaction by using a knowledgeable contractor. Ask for references, and tour homes that they have built.

Use a builder that lives and has developed their business in the area. You will be happy with your finished home, one that you will cherish and that will increase in value each year of your enjoyment!

Why You Need an Agent When Building a Home

admin — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 17:52:47 +0000

Cost to You, Nothing!

Any compensation given to REALTOR is recognized by the builder as a marketing fee and has no impact on the final cost of the home. As an experienced agent working New Construction, I have built a repore with the area Builders and can offer you a smooth transaction in purchasing or building a new home. Builders desire, expect and encourage REALTOR participation.

Savings to You

Are you getting what you’re entitled to have … both in quality and value? Your experienced agent knows what you should receive and what “extras” might be available. I work regularly with new construction agreements with your best interests in mind.

Resale…Appreciation & Profit

Give your investment the best opportunity for appreciation at resale. Questions concerning site location, builder, design and decor are important. Your agent knows you are building not only for today … but for tomorrow.

You Are Represented

With your real estate agent, YOU are represented! Your agent’s experience, knowledge, and reputation represents strength and leverage on your behalf.
