The job of a home builder is definitely rewarding but things might be a tad bit difficult when you first start out. If you are a new home builder you can initiate your business by building a house and attracting new buyers. This is important because you are not established and therefore your neighborhood will not vouch for you. So instead of waiting for a project to come your way, build a small house and let the buyers view it. If the buyers like your work they will recommend it to their friends and colleagues. And this will help your business to prosper.
First prepare a model home. You must decorate the home well to entice the potential clients. Hire an interior designer if you can. The designer will combine the elements and make the home you built look beautiful. After your model house is ready plan an open house. Decide when you want to have your open house and advertise it in the local newspapers. You can attend events organized by other builders to get an idea about how you should go about the open house. Talking to sellers and agents will also give you a vivid idea.
You have to publicize your open house whole hog. This is important to draw the attention of the buyers. Place signs in the locality or place an advertisement in a real estate TV program. It is important to execute your open house well. Having a candy jar beside the guestbook is a good idea. If you organize the open house in the summers serve lemonade to your guests. In the winters serve hot chocolate or coffee. You can serve some freshly baked cookies. It is important to add personal touches to the event. Have an agent on duty. He will guide the buyers around the house and will also answer all their queries. Give your business card and brochures to the buyers.
