Five Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Homebuilder
Choosing the right homebuilder is one of the biggest decisions you will make on your path to homeownership. With so many options out there, it can feel overwhelming knowing where to start. Asking the right questions gives you confidence and helps you choose a builder who understands your needs, respects your budget and supports you from contract to closing. Here are five important questions every first-time homebuyer should ask.
1. What sets your homes apart from others in the area?
Not all builders are the same. Look for quality
construction, energy-saving features, thoughtful floorplans,
and community
amenities that support your lifestyle. First America Homes focuses on
smart design at an affordable price, with open living spaces, modern kitchens,
flexible floorplans and energy-efficient
features that help you save money from day one. Touring model homes
will help you see the difference for yourself.
2. What is included in the base price of the home?
When building or buying a new construction home, it’s
important to understand what’s included in the base price and what’s considered
an upgrade. Ask for a clear breakdown of finishes, appliances, flooring and
structural options. Transparency is key. First America Homes provides homebuyers
with detailed information through our design
center consultation, so there are no surprises. Knowing what is
included up front lets you plan comfortably and stay on budget.
3. How does your warranty work?
A new home should give you peace of mind. One of the biggest
advantages of building new is having a warranty that protects your investment.
Ask what is covered, how long it lasts and how service requests are handled.
First America Homes offers an
industry-leading warranty and an easy process for requesting
service, ensuring homeowners feel supported long after move in.
4. What is the building process like from start to finish?
Understanding the timeline and steps helps first-time buyers feel in control. Ask about permitting, construction milestones, walk-throughs and closing. A good builder will communicate consistently and guide you through each step. First America Homes keeps buyers informed with regular updates, walkthroughs and a team that is always available to answer questions. The goal is a smooth, stress-free building experience.
5. What communities and floorplans are available that fit my lifestyle?
Think about your daily routine, commute, school needs and
future plans. A great builder offers a variety of communities with different
lot sizes, floorplans
and nearby amenities. First America Homes builds in desirable locations across
the Houston and San Antonio areas with options for first-time buyers, growing
families and people looking to downsize.
