This site have been provided for buyer's only by Yvonne Russell, Exclusive buyer’s agent. An Exclusive Buyer's Agent is trained to represent the interest of the buyer in the home purchase transaction which gives buyers the peace of mind that there won't be a conflict of interest. As your buyer's agent I can show you any property for sale and negotiate the lowest price for the house. As an Exclusive Buyer's agent I am paid at closing out of the proceeds of the transaction (like everyone else).
Please feel free to save your favorites, send me emails of homes you are interested in, or ask me any question that is on your mind.
Lastly, since the loan process is the longest part of the home purchase process I recommend contacting a mortgage lender now if you want to move into a home in 30-45 days. Here are a few lenders my clients have used successfully at El Paso Preferred Lenders.

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.

When you decide to build a new home, the type of house you want influences what type of building company you select. Home building firms can have from one to hundreds of employees. Some buyers prefer the security a large corporate establishment represents. Others prefer the personal attention and family feeling of smaller companies. Careful consideration in choosing a builder can assure that the amount of time, emotion and money you will invest in a new home will result in a comfortable home that you can enjoy for years.
There are basically three types of builders: production builders, semi-custom builders and custom builders. Choosing a builder in each category has its advantages and disadvantages. Production builders are organized for higher volume construction. They have standardized model homes to tour and study the quality of the builder’s work. Having a standardized list of choices for floor coverings, tiles, countertops, light fixtures, cabinets and exterior finishes means it’s faster and easier to make selections. The cost of your selections is known quickly and can make it easier to finalize your decision. Through repetition, the production builder has worked any bugs out of floor plans and the time to build is usually shorter. Higher volume work, such as a subdivision, and the advantage in scheduling trade contractors can result in significant cost savings.
A disadvantage to choosing a production builder is that any change to the floor plan that alters the structural elements, such as foundation walls, requires reengineering and resubmission of plans to the building department. These expensive and time-consuming steps disrupt the momentum of high-volume construction.
Semi-custom builders work with existing plans, but are flexible regarding changes. Some home buyers feel more comfortable starting with a plan, rather than developing their own. The disadvantage to making changes to an existing floor plan is that the fine-tuning takes time and money. When floor plans are changed, the economies of large-volume work are lost, resulting in higher prices.
Custom builders specialize in starting with a blank sheet of paper and creating a unique home. They have experience with a wide variety of finishes, unusual treatments and design details. Because each house is one-of-a-kind, home buyers can expect significant initial investment in time and dollars for design development and the creation of working blueprints and specifications.
After you get a general idea of the available builders comes the important task of narrowing your list of potential builders down to one. Look closely at each builder’s finished work and their work in progress. Notice the quality of site management. Are the homes and materials reasonably protected from weather, traffic damage and theft? When you meet the builder, ask about things that are important to you and get a sense of the company's personality. You will be spending considerable time with the builder and his employees; you will want to find a company with whom you are compatible. Many builders today provide a homeowner manual that guides buyers through the process and serves as a reference after move-in. Contact your real estate agent if you have questions. Your agent will advise you about routine points when you are invited to tour your home, the builder’s policy on change orders, prepare the contract documents and warranty. Pay close attention to sample specifications and written warranty standards.
