Home Bug" bitten you yet?- Did you know that builders contracts in Virginia allow builders two years to complete a home? (let assume their is a strike, or the builder runs into trouble...yes, they have two years to build your home.) If you thought short sales take a long time guess again.
- Did you know that most builders require you to use their designated lender when buying a home? It is true.
- Did you know that you cannot lock your interest rate until the builder lays the foundation on your home?
- Did you know that in order for a Builder to begin construction on your new home you need to pay the builder a sizable down payment? In many cases upwards of $10,000 or more?
- Did you know that the furniture and decorating in a model home can be upwards of $100,000 or more?
- Did you know that builders offer special incentives to unload less desirable lot?
- Did you know that it does not cost you a penny to have a Realtor help you when purchasing a new home?
- Did you know the sales person on-site works for the builder and does not represent you?
- Did you know that when you walk into a new home model and sign that little registration form that you give up your ability to have someone represent you?

Great post Peggy. And don't forget to have your clients get a home inspection for their peace of mind!
Hi Fred, how true! It is nice to know that even in Florida home inspections are recommended for new homes! Thanks for adding to this post.
I have had home buyers have home inspections done on a new home and once learned at the time of the inspection ( just a few days before delivery) the A/C was not hooked up correctly. Reverse polarity in outlets and just pesky things that can cause issues down the road. Most builders do a terrific job and the county inspections during the process help as well. However another set of trained eyes not related to the sale,gives the buyer peace of mind.
