Industry Tips

Buying a Home from the Ground Up

Buying An Unbuilt Home
Today, millions of consumers are investing in homes that are not yet built. Some consumers don't realize, however, that buying a home before it's been built is a lot different from buying an existing home. Weather may delay construction and closing. Mortgage rates could shoot up. The builder could take shortcuts or make mistakes that could later cost you money.
To avoid problems such as these, the Better Business Bureau suggests the following steps:
* Zero in on land plans. How can you find out what you're getting into when you buy the ninth house built in a 200-home development? Ask the town's land planner about current zoning requirements and any proposals that have been submitted to develop nearby land.
* Visit the developer's earlier projects to check out the quality of the community centers, landscaping, and other amenities. Ask residents if the developer delivered what was promised. Check with your BBB for a reliability report

on the developer.
* Check out the homeowners' association. In large metro areas, at least half of new home sales include membership in a homeowners' association, according to the Community Associations Institute. Ask for a copy of the association's rules as soon as you're seriously interested in buying. Find out how much the association fee is.
* Carefully scrutinize the contract, and consider legal review before signing. Make sure any upgrades are included in the contract. Also, add a statement to the contract allowing you to visit the site at several designated times. Keep your deposit check as small as possible. That money is at risk until you and your family move in.
* Inspect the finished product. Before you take delivery of the property, give the new house a top-to-bottom examination yourself and consider bringing along an experienced new-home inspector with you.
* Protect your mortgage rate. As the closing date approaches, you'll want to lock in your interest rate. If delays occur, talk to your lending institution. It may agree to extend your rate lock-in. If that doesn't work, ask the lender to close the loan and hold some of the money in escrow until the appraiser verifies the home is complete.

Remodeling your home

Home - Remodeling Contractors
BBB suggests that you obtain three written estimates or bids for the work you are planning. Estimates should be based upon the same set of specifications and materials to be used. Ask the contractor for local references and inspect finished projects. Check to see if the contractor is properly licensed, bonded and has met insurance requirements in compliance with State regulations. Check with the building and zoning authorities to determine what permits you need to proceed with your project. Be sure to include all the terms, conditions, warranties and oral promises concerning the work or project in a written contract. Read and understand completely the written contract BEFORE signing. Never sign a blank or partially completed contract. Typically, a down payment of 30 to 50 percent of the total contract price is made before the work is started with remaining payments to be made after completion of each phase of work; final payment should not be made until work is completed and you have inspected the work. Don't sign a completion certificate for the job before it has been inspected and properly completed as agreed to in the contract. Do not pay for the entire job in advance or pay cash to a salesperson or contractor. You might want to consider inserting an arbitration

BBB Definition:

clause into the contract as a precaution to resolve any disputes that may arise and to enforce your warranty without litigation.

In addition, make sure that the written contract includes the contractor's full name, address, telephone number and professional license

BBB Definition:

license - A permit or accreditation required by the State, Province, County or Municipality where a company is located indicating competence or professional certification that allows the company to provide products or services related to their particular field or industry.

number. The contract should also include the agreed upon starting and completion dates, and the method for debris and material removal once the job is finished. If the contractor arranges financing for the work to be done, be sure that all financial terms are understood, especially if a second mortgage on your home is used as security for the project, BEFORE signing.

Always keep copies of all documents you sign and copies of receipts for materials purchased for future reference.
