When considering this question, there are several things to consider. First, lets answer the basic question. Yes, you can negotiate with a builder. You can negotiate both price and features. Now, let's consider some additional factors regarding negotiating with a builder.
- Tulsa Home Builders are like most home sellers. They have their own personal home building philosophy and agenda. They also must deal with the real estate market. Even though they must deal with these factors, Tulsa home builders are generally consistent with their practices.
- Determining what price you will offer the builder, can be tricky. Ask yourself two questions: What is the market value of this home? Would I rather pay full price for my first choice or get a discount on my second choice? Choosing an experienced, knowledgeable Tulsa realtor can help with the difficult home building process.
- When negotiating, remember that builders do have to pay for workers. They are usually small business owners that have entered into great risk to build a home but that also have to carefully manage their business. If you negotiate too low a price you could find that your beautiful home is tied up with contractors liens. Make sure that you negotiate a price so that not only is the builder profitable but you are also getting a good deal.
