How Do I Decide on the
Type of House I Should Buy?

You can pick one of the many designs that modular builders offer.  We have worked with several builders and know that each one is slightly different. You will need to speak directly with the builder to help you decide on a house style and floor plan and determine the price for the total project.

You should do this as early in the process as possible, because we like to have the builder involved in the land acquisition process … many times they can look at a piece of land and determine what type of house will be best. It is not necessary, though, for you to enter into an agreement with the builder in order for me to help you find land to build on.

The vast majority of builders are willing to work with Realtors who represent buyer clients. When you Contact Us about building a new home, we will discuss the packages that various builders offer and you can then decide which one is right for you.

The builder that you ultimately choose to construct your home (whether it’s a modular or a stick-built) doesn’t matter to me at all. The only thing that we think is very, very important when you are buying (building) a home is that you have an experienced Realtor to work with you (as your Buyer and Investor Representative) AND your builder (who is the seller).

Once you find a floor plan that you like, we will meet with the builder of your choice, who will build it “as is” or modify it to suit your individual lifestyle.

You can even develop your own floor plan. Most Modular Home builders will work with you to tailor a specific floor plan to suite your needs.

Typically, you can take as long as you like to make sure that the floor plans are exactly the way you want them. The land acquisition process can take anywhere from one month (if we’re very lucky) to as long as six months, so designing the house is not something that needs to be done right away.

Until the final plans are submitted to the factory, there are no additional charges for changing your mind. Depending upon your choices, the house will be constructed complete with all countertops, fixtures, floor coverings and carpets. In some cases, the floor coverings and/or carpets may be purchased locally and installed after the house is delivered.
