The 7 Questions That Expose Bad Builders
Watch them squirm when you ask these. Good builders welcome these questions. Bad ones will try to dodge them.
1
What do you offer that other builders don't?
If they stammer or give generic answers, RUN. Good builders have clear differentiators.
2
What features are standard vs. upgrades?
That gorgeous model home? Probably loaded with upgrades they won't mention upfront.
3
What are the deadlines for decisions or changes?
Miss ONE deadline = thousands in fees. They count on you not knowing this.
4
How is the final price calculated?
The #1 source of "surprise" costs. Pin them down on EXACT pricing structure.
5
How will you keep us on budget and on schedule?
Vague answers here = guaranteed delays and cost overruns. Demand specifics.
6
Who's my main point of contact?
No dedicated contact = you'll be transferred endlessly when problems arise.
7
When will my home actually be done?
If they won't commit to dates, they're planning to string you along.

💡 Pro Tip from Gloria
Builders and their reps work for the builder. Not you. You deserve your own representation in this real estate transaction. Having a buyer's agent in your corner can save you from a ton of headaches and costly mistakes.
"Our builder seemed great until we signed. Then everything changed. Months late, way over budget, and they stopped returning calls. I would have saved my marriage and my savings if I'd asked these questions first."
