New Construction Guide: What to ask?

It's important to ask the builder about their warranty options in order to ensure that your client is protected in case of any defects in materials or workmanship. It's also beneficial to ask the builder for references from previous customers and to speak with them to get a sense of the builder's reputation and quality of work.

It's crucial to understand what is included as a standard feature in the base price of the home, and what is considered an upgrade and comes at an additional cost. Ask the builder to provide a list of standard features and upgrades and the costs associated with each upgrade. Model homes are often filled with upgrades, so it's essential to understand what the base home will look like without the upgrades.

It's also important to ask about any flexibility for changes after the contract is signed, and if there are any change fees associated with it. Knowing this will help your clients make an informed decision.

Lastly, it's important to ask the builder for an estimated time frame from contract to keys, as this will give your clients an idea of when they can move into their new home.
