Some buyers would much rather have a brand spankin’ new Huntsville home - fresh, clean and untouched.  Does this describe you?  Then read on and learn some of the guidelines for getting the best deal on your dream home. 

Be on the lookout for disreputable builders…

Reputation is everything for a builder.  Ask for recommendations from people you know, but also do your research.  Check with the Better Business Bureau.  Talk to people in the same development about their experiences with the builder.  Look over the homes in the early construction phase to see what type of materials and quality of workmanship they provide in areas such as the foundation and plumbing. 

Use your own agent…

Although a builder might offer the use of an agent, keep in mind that the agent is the builder’s.  They aren’t looking out for your best interests.  Hiring a buyer’s agent will give you someone who represents you and your best interests.
