First and most important, speak with the
current homeowners in the neighborhood where you plan on
purchasing. If possible, speak with the homeowners that have
lived there for over a year and their bumper-to-bumper
warranty has run out. This will give you the real scoop on
the quality of the homes, typical number of problems and
general overall attitude. Don’t worry about knocking on a
stranger’s door to ask questions about their experience.
They have been in your shoes and will be happy to answer
your questions. Most home owners are anxious to share their
opinion about their builder. In my experience, they either
love their builder or wish they never built a home with
them.
Compare the builder’s warranty programs.
You will be surprised to find what a few builders fail
to cover under their warranty. Don’t just check to see
what is covered, find out how long they cover the items
and how quickly they resolve the problems that can and
will arise. You will find that a strong warranty can
greatly reduce your long term stress. Take your time in
selecting a Utah County Home Builder.
