Very helpful. My advice is if you can get your design appt split into 2 days. I did each visit 1 week apart. It allowed me time to literally google the prices and go to lowes and home depot to see if i was being overcharged and they sold the same appliances and etc. I had time to think everything over and was very happy with my final decision. I was able to get quotes to see what was cheaper to do myself and what would be more expensive. Some things at the design center were cheaper like upgrading the stove cooktop w/ larger venthood to 36in - saw it at lowes and they were 50% cheaper plus the cabinets below would match width of the cooktop.upgrading the front door, stairway railing, and etc. But they overcharged for granite and flooring - it was a hard pass for me. I'm talking like a 75% mark-up. I had a strict budget and it worked out really well. Once the lady understood all if was spending was X amount, she actually started to say things like "this you can buy at lowes and install youself" - so I was happy she was accomadating during the process.

Great advice! I think it's always important to do your due diligence and research and see what items you are ok with having the builder do VS cost savings after closing based on your flexibility with time and cost. Builders do get discounts as they buy items like appliances in bulk, but I agree with you... Flooring is a big mark up item for builders so if you have the flexibility to do it after close, by all means, do it yourself! Thanks for your valuable comment ‼️🙏

Kaori, would you upgrade your kitchen cabinets at the design center or do you recommend after closing? Also considering cabinets up to the ceiling as well. Appreciate your guidance...great video too, thank you!
@KaoriLuxuryRealEstate
@KaoriLuxuryRealEstate Год назад
Personally, I would advise doing the kitchen cabinet upgrades at the design center. Those are more "harder" to do after closing in my opinion. It's do-able, but less hassle with the builder.

So my wife and I just pulled a house off the market in San Antonio. We are scheduled to close next month and we noticed there are no blinds, gutters, exterior lighting, above stove microwave , ceiling fans, or from the photos we’ve seen no door bell. (we’ve only seen photos of the home because we currently live in Hawaii but are moving in a few months) What would you recommend we complete first? What are things you wish you would have done to your home immediately upon move in versus later on? What are things I didn’t mention that you would recommend we take a look at? Thanks again!

I really dislike that you have to do so many “upgrades” to a brand new home just to make it modern. A new construction home in 2024 shouldn’t look like a home built in the 90s.

GREAT question! After closing, if you choose to do any modifications to the house like ripping out carpet and replacing it with tile, the flooring part of the warranty would be negated. However, everything else would stay protected under the builder's warranty.

@Greenhornet411
@Greenhornet411 8 месяцев назад
Correct me if I’m wrong , getting the builder to do all the custom upgrades gives you the option of financing all those upgrades into your mortgage for 30 years. Paying for those same upgrades after closing is all out of pocket as a lump sum expense.
@KaoriLuxuryRealEstate
@KaoriLuxuryRealEstate 8 месяцев назад
Yes and no. Depending on the builder, you would have to pay for a portion of the design upgrades upfront. For exmaple, one builder allows you to include 10% of base price as design upgrafes into the loan, but anything above that, you would need to pay 50% upfront in cash.
