Today I'm back with Mark Garza of Kingdom Builders in Corpus Christi. We're going to be discussing people's biggest fears when they go to build custom homes.

• When people don't know about something, they often say 'no'. This fear of the unknown can be eliminated by having the builder give you a detailed price breakdown, counting the price of every last nail and screw that will be used on your home. All the small details should be set in writing.
• If you're building a custom home, I'm going to take a wild guess and suggest that you probably don't know a lot about construction. If this is true, then you need a builder who is onsite every day that can tell you what's happening in such a way that you'll be able to understand him or her.
• You need to have realistic expectations for what is being done on your home, and this will require you to form a close relationship with your builder before construction begins. If you can't get along with a builder before a project has even started, then you may want to look elsewhere. Don't be shy or intimidated when you begin talking to a builder, otherwise the questions that you didn't ask could come back to haunt you.

Hopefully, this has been helpful if you're planning on building a new home in Corpus Christi this summer. Be sure to give me or Mark a call if you're interested. We would love to speak to you about this opportunity.
