The best way to simplify this process is knowledge. We all want what we want, but that doesn’t mean we can always have it. So, understanding your needs vs. those wants is critical to your success and happiness when building a new home. The best way to do that is to spend time making a list of each in order of importance. Once that is done, it’s easy to convey those things to your builder and it’s their job to help you get what you need and as many ‘Wants’ as possible.
Ask as many questions as it takes, for as long as it takes, to be comfortable making your decision. Anyone that discourages that approach probably doesn’t know how to help you well enough, or they’re less interested in what you need and want vs. what they need and want.
Be prepared for some bumps in the road. While this is a fun and exciting journey, it also has humans involved and we’re not perfect. Knowing there might be some challenges caused by people, schedules, weather, etc. will only help you stay excited and positive throughout the process.
