Step 1: Financing
The first step in building a new home is to get pre-approved for a mortgage and find out how much money you can borrow. We recommend that you contact First Eastern Mortgage or click here for the secure application form.
Step 2: Land
The next step is finding land. Finding land is one of the most challenging aspects of building your new home. However, you can still find land if you're willing to put in the time and effort. Here are some suggestions that work:
- Search the Northern New England Real Estate Network (NNEREN) site. This site enables you to search every listing in the state.
- Sign-up with area newspapers to be notified by email when land listings meeting your requirements run in the paper.
- Drive around the area where you'd like to build. Look for "For Sale By Owner" signs (this method really works!).
- Visit the town hall in the town where you'd like to live. Ask to see the tax maps. Look for vacant lots and note owner's name and address. Contact owner to see if they would be interested in selling. This method takes some time but can uncover land no one else knows about.
- Contact a Realtor who specializes in land (very important).
Step 3. Design Your New Home
Meet with our designer and create your dream house (this is the fun part!). We can work with our plans or yours or we can design your new home from the ground up. There is no cost or obligation to you for this valuable service.
Step 4. Order Your New House
Once the design process has been completed, it's time to place the order for your new house. Your new home will be delivered in 6-8 weeks. While your new home is being built your subcontractors will complete excavation, foundation, and well.
Step 5. The Big Day Arrives
Your house will generally be set in one or two days, depending upon the style and complexity of house.
Step 6. Button-up
You or your subcontractors will complete the finish work.
