Thinking of buying a new construction home?
Collins testimonial on new construction homes. You still need representation in new construction. The contracts are very one sided and confusing. Just because a house is new construction, it does not mean its perfect. It still takes someone who can do inspections. My renovation and construction back round help find all the issues.

Robert: Okay. So these guys just closed on their first house ever.
Anna: Yep.
Robert: And what we did was a new construction. So, question, was it as easy as you guys thought it was going to be?
Anna: Definitely not.
Victor: No. Especially since I was overseas for most of it.
Robert: That’s right. Victor was deployed. So here’s another misconception. Are new construction homes perfect?
Anna: No.
Victor: Definitely not.
Robert: Okay, that’s what I kind of want to point out is the inspection process. As an architect and as construction background, I, of course, I flip houses, have construction background. We did four inspections total-
Victor: At least four.
Robert: … on the property-
Anna: At least.
Robert: … before, twelve. And they hired an outside third party inspector, which they don’t even recommend doing. Right?
Victor: Right.
Anna: Yeah. For new construction.
Robert: And they did on their own. Still, what? Forty page report, I think on that thing?
Anna: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Thirty something.
Robert: So it’s just important that all of us had to go through there a lot with our knowledge of this, and found quite a bit wrong they got fixed.
Anna: Right.
Robert: How about that contract? Was that confusing at all?
Anna: Yeah.
Victor: It was confusing, but he did a pretty good job of breaking it down for us.
Robert: He means me, by the way.
Anna: Yeah.
Robert: Anyway, we’re going to let these guys go. Just to let you know that new construction does not mean easy.
Anna: Yeah. Not easy.
Robert: Anything else to add about buying new construction home for young home owners that may want to do that?
Victor: Yeah, go through Bobby, he’ll make your life 10 times easier.
Robert: There you go.
