Repair Our Home

Yes, some builders here in the Phoenix Valley have been observed to take short cuts to keep up with demand in the property boom.  The builder is able to fix any and all known items on the home inspection list.  Also, many builders will guaranty up to a year later a new house.  The home inspector can conduct an inspector before the drywall is up.  This gives a high level of inspection that most new home builders do not offer to the buyer.  There’s a greater chance of identifying defects at this point in time.  Also, it is easier for the builder to fix at this time.  It is a win-win for each side of the exchange.  I have read about folks getting a new home.  Then, half a year later the builder must rip into the wall due to a defect found by the purchaser after living in the house.  Yes, one has a guaranty on the house.  {However ,} this is also an inconvenience not needed for the family since everybody lives busy lives.

As the house is being built, there are many other things I try to do to look out for my clients’ best interests.  Here are one or two which will certainly help you.  Keep on top of what the existing base prices for the home are and current inducements are being offered.  Many times, folks buy their home and they fully forget to test what the current market is doing.  This is a massive mistake and one that may actually cost a lot of cash.  Pay attention to the base prices, motivations, and lot premiums being charged.  If you check into them and they are much lower then you paid thanks to the builder having lethargic sales or increased competition, fight them!  Ask for a reduction on your price also or ask to get the same inducement being offered.  Most times the builder will say,’I am sorry, the price is locked in and we cannot/will not renegotiate the price.’ in my judgment, that’s daft, and the majority of the time I will get the builder to match the present price or incentive.  Now here’s where you have to be careful.  The builder is in no way responsible to lower your price or give you the same motivation others are getting.  Additionally, they’re literally throwing profits right out the window and they’re going to fight you not to offer the better cost.
