Benefits of Working With an On-Site Sales Consultant
If you are considering building a new home, or have already made the decision, the next step is to choose a location and builder.
Unless you are willing to incur the additional expense and much longer timeline of building a custom home, you will likely be looking at home builders with a selection of floor plans and home sites to choose from, some of which may already be under construction or nearing completion.
You can narrow down your search online to save time, but eventually, you’ll want to visit new home communities and walk some of the builder’s model homes. Most new home builders will stage one or more homes in their communities so you can see structural options and features firsthand and get a feel for the flow of some of their floor plans.
In most cases, builders will have an on-site sales consultant who can walk home sites with you and tell you which floor plans can be built on specific home sites. The on-site sales consultant will have deep insight into the community, builder processes, and regional amenities. They will be a valuable resource as you start your new home journey.
What an On-Site Sales Consultant Brings to the Table
The on-site sales consultant can do much more than show you floor plans and available home sites, they’re knowledgeable in new home construction and design and can answer many questions you may have. They understand how to match home sites with floor plans to maximize each lot’s unique attributes. Their extensive knowledge of community layouts allows them to help you select a home site that fits your preferences and lifestyle needs.
For instance, if being close to community amenities like a clubhouse or walking trails is important to you, they’ll help you find a home site that works with your favorite floor plan as close as possible to the clubhouse. Their familiarity with the ongoing construction schedule is another advantage, as they can advise you on areas where building activity is minimal or more active, based on your preference.
Making the Most of Your Home Site Choices
Every home site has its own characteristics such as topography, size, orientation and proximity to community features. These factors influence how your new home will fit on the home site, from the driveway’s placement to the positioning of outdoor spaces. Your on-site sales consultant can discuss these considerations in detail, helping you visualize how various floor plans would look and function on your chosen home site.
Certain floor plans or features might be better suited to specific types of home sites. For example, a lot with a slight slope could be ideal for a gently sloping walkway to a zero-entry front doorway to avoid steps when entering the home. If you like to spend time in your private courtyard watching the sunset, the on-site sales consultant can help you pick out the perfect home site for your new home with the courtyard facing west.
The consultant’s role is to offer practical insights into which home site, floor plan and structural options will work best for your lifestyle, aligning both your vision and practical requirements.
Neighborhood Insights and Community Knowledge
An on-site sales consultant is knowledgeable about the community and understands what makes it special, including local school quality and nearby shopping and dining options. If you’re new to the area, they can offer tips on where to find local services, routes for commuting, and even the most popular local restaurants. This community knowledge is invaluable as it helps you quickly settle into your new neighborhood and feel connected.
Beyond the surrounding area, the on-site sales consultant is tuned into life within the community. They’re familiar with future development plans, so if you’re looking for a quieter area or want to be near the action, they’ll have the information to guide you. They can also inform you about community events like resident gatherings and amenities such as the clubhouse and pool, fitness center and walking trails if available.
