Ask Potential
Builders...
... the following
questions as they
pertain to your
interests.
|
|
1. |
How much experience
do you have building
homes in my price
range? |
| |
Mark Harrington has
more than 17 years
experience building
homes from $200,000
and up. |
| |
|
|
2. |
We are already
working with a
realtor. Do
you work through
realtors? |
| |
Yes, of course we
do. Most of
our clients are
referred to us by
their realtors.
We even provide a
section full of
information for
realtors on this
website. |
| |
|
|
3. |
During the building
process, do we work
directly with you,
or do we have to
work through a
middle person?
|
| |
You will work
directly with the
Harrington team of
professionals.

team approach here. |
| |
|
|
4. |
We purchased some
land on which to
build our home.
Can you build on our
land?
|
| |
Yes - we are
specialists at
building "offsite."
More than 20% of our
homes are built on
lots owned by
customers. If
you are thinking of
building offsite,
but have not yet
chosen your lot, we
would be pleased to
help you choose the
lot that would best
accommodate your
choice of plans. |
| |
|
|
5. |
Can you help us find
a good lender to
finance our
mortgage? |
| |
Yes - Harrington
works with a number
of excellent lenders
with flexible
programs. We
can refer you to
lenders who are most
likely to provide
you exactly the
terms you need. |
| |
|
|
6. |
We like some of the
plans you build, but
would want some
substantial changes
to make it work for
us. Can you
customize your
plans? |
| |
Yes. Most of
our plans are
customizable, in
fact, ne-third of
our customers modify
our plans.
Whether you choose
to modify a plan
only slightly, or
even if you have
plans that you have
acquired elsewhere,
we are able to build
exactly the home you
desire in the
location you choose. |
| |
|
|
7. |
We like a lot of
amenities like
elegant mouldings,
large closets, and
high end appliances
in our kitchen.
Are these things you
typically provide?
|
| |
Mouldings and
trimwork are our
specialty, and many
we consider to be
standards on our
homes.
Appliance
preferences vary
greatly, so we begin
with a standard
appliance
"allowance" and
modify our contracts
based on your real
choices. |
| |
|
|
8. |
Do you provide
references?
How can we know if
your customers are
happy with your
work? |
| |
You will notice many
references here on
our website, in our
promotional
materials, and
general information
to positive comments
made by our
home-building
customers. While we
do not ask our
customers to provide
their contact
information to field
calls from people
they do not know, we
do keep a file of
endorsements in our
office and you are
welcome to review
them. We
should note that
some previous
customers have even
asked us to build a
second home for
them. |
| |
|
|
9. |
Do you provide
warranties?
What about service
after the sale? |
| |
Absolutely our work
is warrantied.
Harrington stands
firmly behind every
square inch of the
homes it builds.
If you require
service on any
portion of your new
home after you have
moved in, we will be
there as soon as
possible to take
care of it.
Different areas of
any project are
affected
differently, and we
will provide you
with detailed
warranty information
during the contract
period.
