Hi everyone. This is your Tampa Bay Realtor Lance Mohr. In this video I'm
gonna go over something I rarely ever go over in videos and that's to make sure
you're getting everything done on your new home perfect that it's coming out
exactly how you want it to come out now if you've never bought a new home before
and this is your first time buying one if you don't do what I'm telling you to
in this video there's a very good chance you're gonna probably be spending or it
could spend thousands of dollars more on your new home so watch this video and
listen to what I have to say right now
okay so I don't really like doing videos like this this is sort of to the face
that you need to be doing this and one of the reasons why I'm doing this video
is because I hear I hear a lot of stuff from a lot of people it could be on the
Internet it could be stuff that's email to me it could be from other Realtors
and a lot of people whether they're buying a pre-owned home whether they're
buying a new home they're getting hurt and I think a lot of it is the people
who are buying a brand new home because when people buy a brand new home most of
them think I don't need a home inspection I don't really understand why
this is because if you're buying a brand new home and it's taken the Builder
seven months to ten months to build the home there's probably well well over a
thousand people walking in and out of that home it isn't like it's being built
by some plant and everything's just robotic over there it's being built by
people who make mistakes and some of these people will make mistakes and it
could end up costing you money so I remember when my wife and I moved here
back in 2006 the market wasn't really that good
we bought a home there was about 20 155 square feet we had the entire home
painted inside it was around $900 I figured it would cost 1,300 but what
happened is we ended up paying 900 but if I were to have the same home painted
today in today's market in a seller's market I would be lucky to pay twenty
two hundred dollars a lot of you out there might be thinking well I know the
builders are real busy but they're going to build a really good home and they're
probably trying to build a really good home but one thing you need to
understand is these construction managers that are managing the homes
they could be dealing with 15 homes 20 Hounds 30 homes they just can't look at
everything especially when things aren't really going that great so the number
one thing you need to be doing is you need to get a real estate agent to help
you I know a lot of you probably do but get a real estate agent to help you and
that real estate agent should be suggesting someone who does inspections
like a neutral third party don't believe all the stuff like the city's
going to do the inspection or the county or the builders getting their own
inspection forget all that this is your home it needs to be built
how you want the home being built now if I was going to have a home built and it
was completely finished of course I would get the final inspection on the
house if it was me personally and I could personally afford all the
different inspections and I know my inspector does five different
inspections but if I could afford all of them I would definitely get every single
one done you need to get a real estate agent that suggested now maybe you have
a real estate agent and they didn't suggest it
I would certainly wonder why because you need a home inspection which the second
thing is don't just get an inspector to inspect the home you don't want some
weak inspector inspecting your home you want someone who's really good
inspecting your house out our area in the tamp area there's two types of
inspectors one is the inspector that goes out there and they do an inspection
let's say it's a 3,000 square foot house they'll do an inspection maybe it takes
an hour that's not who you want this inspectors probably going out on for
inspections a day maybe five inspections day you want someone who's going to
maybe charge you a little bit more money that might take three and a half four
hours inspecting your home maybe even more inspecting your home to make sure
it's really right and really how you want it because I see inspections all
the time pretty much 100% of all my buyers do an
inspection and I want them to do an inspection and if they're buying home
from the ground and they're going through a seven month ten month it's
done process of building the home most of them and I would say probably 70% of
them are gonna have five inspections on how some people just can't afford to do
all five inspections maybe they're going to have two inspections on now some
people maybe can't afford that maybe they'll do one inspection on the home
but you have to have the home inspected because it's up to you
the consumer can make sure the Builder is building the
home right for you don't just assume they're doing everything good so I hope
this video helps if you are in the Tampa Bay area and you're looking for a real
estate agent to help you don't hesitate to reach out and give me a call a lot of
times it may go to my voicemail because I may be on the phone if you're in
another part of the country and you have any questions or need help finding a
real estate agent in your area I know a lot of agents out there I could probably
help you but either way I wish you the best a lot
you
