I wanted to point out things that people need to look for before building a new home. I recently took potential clients around to other builder’s model homes in my area. It was a learning experience for me because I got to see what my competition is doing and not doing. It drove me crazy to see some of the corners that were cut in the luxury homes I was showing. Not many people know about the small details to look for, and that’s what I wanted to discuss in this episode. Some topics I covered were
1. What’s behind the walls
2. entry doors
3. Exterior door hardware
4.Windows
5.Interior doors
