If you're wanting or considering building a unique custom home, you want a home built out of quality. If you also enjoy the finer things in life and want a home of higher resale value you are likely also hoping to find a luxury custom home builder. Consider the following tips when seeking a luxury home builder.
1. Ask for references and credentials from your home builder
As part of your inquiry process don't be afraid to ask the home builders for previous buyer references. You can chat with a former customer to get their perspective on the building experience.
Most experienced customer home builders will also include information about their company and its history as you can see with Ron McGuire custom homes.
2. Check the value of other homes from builder
You can research the value of past homes constructed by the builder to see if they have maintained or increased in value. Sites including Realtor.com are useful tools for this information and many real estate listings also show the sales history of homes for older properties which can provide a better perspective.
3. Don't overestimate the size of a home
Many people put an emphasis on square footage instead of the overall home quality when considering the value of their home. A large home can be constructed for less however if it's of a lower quality it can be worth less than homes of a similar size and also cause the owner issues down the line.
4. Review for quality
When you take a tour of a model or an existing home, you will want to take specific attention to the workmanship and materials. In the exterior, stone on all four sides over brick or stone veneer is a clear example. Review the roof materials for tile, which is of a higher value than composition shingle. Check the kitchen for top-of-the-line appliances versus mid-range items.
You will also want to consider anything energy efficient that's included as part of the construction process. The up front expense of energy efficient products and luxury building may seem larger up front, however it can greatly pay off over time.
