What is the number 1 rule before buying a new custome home in El Paso?

Find a Buyer's Agent to represent you!
A nation survey showed the number one complaint registered by homebuyers after purchasing a new home was lack of representation and knowledge. Then shouldn’t  it be your most important decision is finding a reputable local Exclusive Buyer's Agent to advocate for you. Why would you enter into a 30 year commitment with a contractor without representation? The builder's Agent is motivated to sell the home, even a custom home, at the highest possible price. As a Buyer's Agent, we are duty bond to get the most out of every dollar you will be spending.
Another important rule is picking the right location. As with any decision in the custom home building process, choosing a lot is not very easy. You are picking the location of your home for the next 1-20 years. Whatever you do, don't build your dream home in a location that you are going to hate in two years. You don't want to spend six months to two years building a home and then decide to move because you don't like the location.  This is another area where your Buyer's Agent will advise you best.  For example she/he will discover what the surrounding construction will be zoned for.
These are just two of the many important decision you will need to make in the buying process. To read more about other important considerations in buying a custom home click here.

To mitigate the anxiety and second guessing you may experience you will need to  rely on the advice of the experience real estate professionals working in your best interest.  Sometime even after you move in, you may experience the second-guessing because every time you live in a new home, you will think of things that you would have done differently. Instead, just like any long term commitment, rest in the choices you've made and spend more time enjoying your family and friends.
