We bought a new construction in PA. We did a private pre-drywall inspection and also a final inspection. Minors things were found and fixed before the closing. The experience with the Project Manager was great. However, financing with the preferred lender was a nightmare. After a few weeks of negotiations they decided to match other lender’s rate and let us use the credit toward the closing costs. Otherwise they were using all the credit to buydown the rate and match the other lender rate. When we said, you know what, we’re not doing the loan with you, the comes up with a better deal.
Even if builders give $X in concessions, one needs to know if those upgrades are being inflated compared to market. A great example is flooring. Builders charge almost double for flooring to be done compared to having it done after closing.
My first house was new construction and I had issues from the start. My builder never asked if they could help, never visited the property after closing, never spoke to me again. Took my money and ran.
Hi Jen, so even we have a home inspector, but how do we know if that person is doing the right work, if he checks everything or not? And is there a guarantee from what the inspector does or not?
I have not seen any home inspectors prosecuted when they make mistakes, and I hear about a lot of mistakes. The best thing you can do is really research the home inspector before you hire them and ask to have the home inspector walk you through everything at the end of their inspection. That’s the only way you’re going to know they checked everything is if you literally have them walk you through everything they looked at and ask questions.
You need to either have a Realtor or represent and negotiate for yourself. The builder sales associate 100% works for the builder no matter how sweet they seem they are not working to get YOU the best deal

I love watching home inspector videos of new construction! Horrifying to see what is out there.
I wish you had made this video before I decided to buy my house 2 1/2 years ago.
So thankful 🙏
Happy to help

Sorry to hear you went through that. Need legislation around builders for sure
Thank you for this.

Honorable mention to CY Porter! Excellent home inspector! 😂
Love his channels and his aggressive fight to protect buyers:)
Damn!!.... I wish you was my real estate agent I closed on my new construction September 4th😮
Do know what is a non-profit! 🤔 🤨🤨🧐🧐 does it have to do with church ⛪️????
So, do I not need a realtor if buying new construction?
You need to either have a Realtor or represent and negotiate for yourself. The builder sales associate 100% works for the builder no matter how sweet they seem they are not working to get YOU the best deal
