NEW BUILD TIPS: 10 THINGS I WISH I HAD KNOWN | Design Center Day | New Build Home

One thing to add, is your furnishings and your artwork or what makes your home I’ve never had anybody come to my house and said oh my gosh you only have 4 inch baseboards. But I have had people coming into my home and say oh my gosh, your artwork is absolutely incredible. Sometimes you have to prioritize what’s important ,to me the things that are in my home just as important as what the builder is going to build, but some things aren’t.

Outstanding video. Very informative and well articulated!!! After watching your videos I feel confident to go to the design center.

Good tips. You may have been unhappy those other pulls though after awhile. Since the handle extends past the mounting post on those, apparently they’re great at catching on cloths or items when moving around the kitchen. Someone I know decided to change their out because of that. A watch a designers video, he had as tip that for the hardware you want to try to select the common sized hardwares. That will give you the option for giving your cabinets a new look later on for a lower cost and likely more options.

Excellent presentation!. All your statements are very true. I had the same overwhelming experience when i got in to the design center. I eventually finalized the upgrades after 5 appointments.

I totally agree with your tips. I just bought a home and I had to compromise on a few options but I learned a lot during the process girl I wish I watched your video 4 months ago so much useful info and valid.

Great info, thank you

Great video and tips.!! I like the chapter summary so you can quickly go to the section you want to view again!! We are having our Design Center appointment this week. Flying in the morning and flying back home night. It’s going to be a long day. But we are prepared. A relative bought the same floor plan several months earlier and provided copies of the documents (what are standard and the upgrade options). Done a lot of research and a lot research… But we won’t know until we actually see and touch what is being offered. Thank you for sharing your information!!😊

Great video! Super helpful and informative. Much much appreciated!

One thing we didn’t know going in is that while the price of the home isn’t negotiable, it is possible to request design center credit. Maybe not in this crazy market but it’s generally doable. Many of our neighbors were able to negotiate this. We didn’t know.

Great info , thank you 😊

Great information.

Great video!

Great video

When buyers feel that certain options such as pre-wiring are gouging in price, how do they negotiate a fair price?

What company is your home builder?

Do the builder have an upgrade option

Who was you builder?
