Any one that has thought about buying new construction needs to get on the band wagon! With the tightening market builders are offering great deals! Going into the winter, have a market slow down, trying to reduce inventory, just a few of the reasons builders will stay at the table to make the deal. As a former home builder I know the in an outs of the builders business. If you think you want to buy a new home give me a call I want to talk with you, I know how to make the best deal for you, I know the little things that you need to know when starting the building process with a builder, things that they won’t bring up, things that can make the experience a pleasure rather than a nightmare.

The answer for me is simple, passion for helping people. I have often thought of myself as much as a consumer advocate as a real estate agent or builder or business owner. I remember when I was building new homes having a young couple come to my displays, go through and I could tell they liked what I had to offer. The lady said they would never buy another new home because the first home they purchased was a new home and the experience was a nightmare for them. I thought to myself what a shame, after hearing it from them, I heard it from others, I guess it was kind of like buying a new car, you pick out a color, then when you drive down the street it seems everyone bought the same color as you did, awareness is an interesting instinct. Anyway, I kept thinking to myself that just shouldn’t be, I was building in the upper price ranges of subdivisions at the time and I thought why shouldn’t people buying first homes have a good experience so when I went through some of my life changes, divorce etc., I decided to build entry level homes and I got the opportunity to see what those people were talking about. I entered a partnership agreement with another builder and I learned what it meant to buyers to have a “nightmare experience when building a new home. That is another story for another time, but I ended up legally removing my partner and then spent over $125,000 of my personal money trying to fix all of the mistakes my then ex-partner had built into the homes. Sometimes nightmares become learning experiences. Those kind of experiences tend to give me more passion to be able to help others with their real estate problems. I think another thing that has helped me stay in this business is always putting people before profit. I stay because I feel people deserve to have a fair advantage when entering the real estate arena and I have always sought to learn about my industry as I have mentioned before it took me years to feel I was qualified to help people with their real estate problems and I continue to learn about my profession, its is the only way to be able to provide people with the very best service possible.
