We would like to provide a high level process for
buyers and custom builders. We have had this
question ask many times, so we hope you find it
helpful in searching for your home. |

|
Buying a home that is already constructed has less
pain, but you give up some of your personal
preferences. |
-
Before you ever start looking, if you are serious
about buying, go to your favorite financial
institution and pre qualify for a loan. This will
help you stay focused on those within your price
range.
-
Deal with a licensed contractor. Those that are
not licensed are not only operating illegally,
they do not have your interest at heart.
-
Pricing is based on price per square foot of
heated space. Check the detail in workmanship
before you buy.
-
Be prepared to make a deposit when signing a
purchase agreement.

|
Custom homes tend to cost more because you are going
to design a home more to your personal preferences. |
-
Before you ever start, check with your financial
institution to see what price range you pre
qualify for.
-
Start with a professionally designed set of plans,
your contractor can assist with this process.
-
Construction financing can be provided by the
contractor or the homeowner. Custom homes can be
built on property owned by the contractor or the
homeowner.
-
A licensed contractor will have you sign a
contract; it is for the benefit of both the
contractor and homeowner.
-
A down payment is required on a custom home, it
will vary from 5% to 10% and this money will come
back to you at closing.
