House in Montana Update. I want to let you folks know, who subscribe to my blog and local real estate notes. Today, THEY put up house wrap on the bottom half of the home I have been discussing. The last week, it has been snowing, raining, hailing and sleet. Today was a nice day. I see folks working on the home. Hopefully they are drying things out the right way before sealing things up. I have seen numorous trainings on MOLD, and issues of drying homes out. In Eureka Montana, it is not the standard thing to do. I am not sure it is anywhere, but I have seen special trainings on teams that come into a construction project and professional dry the building envelop to protect the integrity of the future of the home. I guess it is up to the integrity of the builder. However, they are not rewarded for Integrity. For example, if I know someone who built a home around 2000 square feet, built it to code, made sure everything was done correctly and never skipped a step. They go to sell the home and on the market at the same time is a home that another builder built without a care, with no plans, no integrity, skipped steps and basically just slapped the home together. With this they appraise the same. I have NEVER seen an appraisal that was based on quality. So with this in mind, how is a quality builder suppose to compete with the CRAP that is being slapped up? I am not sure, with the mortgage system and appraisals the way the are it is tough. Supporting quality Builders is one step we can make, Get Engineered inspections when you buy a new home. Ask for plans, ask the neighbors what went on during construction, as the barber, bartendar, and chiropracters questions. Believe me the CREW talks and the Truth will surface is YOU ask before you buy.
With this particular Home, I cannot imagine someone having enough money to own a plane and wanting a home that is built to substandard contstruction practices. I am sure these comments upset the builder, but these are not all my words. The come from many other sources. And I cannot PROVE substandard building practices, I don't have to and they don't have to prove that it is quality construction. My job as a Broker Owner is to SHUT UP and Sell you the HOME. Everybody WINS Right ? oh Expect for YOU - the buyer.
I am not claiming to be an Engineer, a MoLD expert, a real estate attorney or any kind of professional that would know for a fact. I am encouraging you to FIND OUT, to protect your family and to know y0ur rights. I am using this company as an example because I am sick of the construction issues I witness as a broker owner in my area. This is not an isolated case nor is this limited to this company. My writing of this is to make sure that you know before you buy. If you move into an area where everybody knows that a building is inferior, everybody knows it was exposed to the elements too long, the crew goes to the doctor and complains of workers rights issues and discusses problems with the buildings and YOU walk in from another state and have no idea. Than your the one that is hurt. Not to mention Resale Issues.
So many things are swept under the rug that you NEED to know. Be Informed. Wake UP buyers, don't blindly except things the way the are. Find out the Truth for Yourself.
