If you are building your home from a dirt start, you will get to choose your interior finishes!! For some this is a stressful process and for others, they thrive to let their inner Joanna Gaines out and find their creativity. I enjoy helping clients design their dream home. Check out this blog post about my 3 best tips for the design center. I find clients truly appreciate a perspective of resale value. While you may think your bright orange cabinets are great, they may not help you if you are looking to sell your home later on down the road. I promise I will stand back and let you be as creative as you can, but I also promise I will give you my best advice on what upgrades can (both negatively and positively) affect your resale value down the road. But, hey, it’s your home! You design away!
Meritage offers two different avenues when it comes to designing your home. You can start from the very basics and get as specific as you can (within Meritage standards – there are some upgrades they simply can’t do – one of which is structural improvements). However, you start with 9 different design pallets from which your home interior will be born. Check out the selections HERE. Check out this short video on what to expect when you go to the design center.
If you’re not really into choosing interior finishes, Meritage offers several spec homes that you can choose from where they’ve done all the designing for you – of course with a design professional. Painted Prairie Meritage spec homes range in the all-in price of $352,000 up to $388,000.
As of the time of this writing (September 2020), Meritage has 7 quick move-in homes available. These homes are currently being built and will be move-in ready as early as November and as late as January 2021.
As always, my services are completely free to you. By choosing a realtor to represent you in a new build deal, you will not be losing any money (see How does a realtor fit into the new home construction process). If you do not have a realtor on a new build deal, that commission money just gets reabsorbed back into the company.
So why not? To do a little self-promotion, if you choose me to represent you on a new build home, first and foremost I will always be looking out for your best interest when it comes to building. I will also give you pre-drywall 3D tour of your home so you have a video of what is behind the walls in case you ever want to do any remodeling down the road (see The future of home photos is here). I also will cover your sewer scope. Most new construction homes do not have an issue with the sewer line, but every now and again you will get some construction debris that falls into the sewer line that will cause a major problem down the road when either you are selling your home – or you will have an awful flood situation! Let me take care of that for you. It’s too important to me that you move into your new home with little to no stress about the home as possible.
