Think you’re safe from problems when you buy a new home? Think again

Now imagine. New Homes being built in Thomasville, GA. by an unlicensed person and that person also claiming to be a builder with no building experience, project managerment or construction experience working under someone else’s license. Building of these homes continuous. Buyers beware. Cheap Homes = Cheap Homes.

6/19/12 - News Flash:::: After less then one year of ownership, the owner of one of these homes is SELLING. I wonder why? I am not surprised. I saw that cheap box being built.

Realtors with their own agenda:

When you go shopping for a car, you do not only go to one dealer, so why would you stick with only one Realtor or real estate brokerage? in Thomasville, GA. we have our share of used car realtors. who are only interested in selling you their own listings or their own brokerage listings, and why "Full Commission" so this is why you need to invest more time and try using deferent realtors and brokerage to show you houses and you will see that all realtors are not the same. most of them are just interested in their own "Agenda".

Caution: Some Real estate professionals and Real State Brokers like to use the word total square footage when listing a home. The word (Total Square Footage) is used when the listed properties square footage under heated & cooled is to small for the listed price. The total square footage of heated, cooled, garage, porches and decks are sometimes used to justify the price per square footage of that property. So you need to ask for the total heated & cooled square footage and divide by total price = price per sq. ft. The City and County Requires any addition or unfinished bonus rooms done after the home was built to have a permit. Example of misrepresented property by an agent in Thomasville, GA. Listed at 3,800 Sq. Ft. but public records has it for 3,200 Sq. Ft. Definetly something wrong with this picture.

WHO BUILT THE HOME YOU ARE LOOKING TO BUY

Will your next home be built and sold to you by a realtor? Look for a professional Builder. A professional builder is the only one that is dedicated to what they do and are on site from start to finish. A real estate agent or property appraiser is only interested in selling you that home he is not on the job site from start to finish because he is trying to sell homes. What type of quality construction do you think went into that home? And what homes do you think you are going to see first? Always ask who built the home and who are you buying the home from. You will be surprised to find out who built that home you are looking to buy! You would have to wonder who would warranty that new home.

A few realtors in town are building low end homes and having some of their associates ADVOCATE potential buyers to those listings.

Remember:

To put this in perspective is like going to a FOOT DOCTOR to perform HEART SURGERY
