Oh, the stories I could tell about our construction process! I’m still working on the post, I know I promised you the full scoop and I intend to share. However, today I’m giving you a gift born from the lessons we learned– a FREE printable closing checklist for a new construction home. It’ll be a handy tool for your walk-through to make sure you’ve peeked in to every nook and cranny and gotten the most for your hard-earned money when it comes to purchasing a high-quality home with as few issues as possible.
Building a house can be a stressful process for many reasons, and that really ramps up as you get closer to closing. I can’t stress enough the importance of two BIG things:
- hiring a realtor from the beginning (before you plunk down that deposit!)
- hiring an inspector to do a thorough inspection before the drywall goes up and also pre-closing
After going through this process ourselves (and conversations with many others who’ve recently closed on a new construction home), we compiled a list of common issues to look for during the walk-through from top to bottom for huge peace of mind before going to the closing table.
