(MS) -- Whether the kids have all grown up and moved out or if the kids are on the way and it’s time to expand a living area, building a new home is an exciting, yet often agonizing, experience. The rea-sons for building a new home are many, but regard-less of the reason, the process of choosing a builder should remain the same.
Andrew Nadalin, president of Pace 2000 Inc. and a fourth generation builder and craftsmen, offers the following advice to prospective homeowners with their eyes set on building a dream home to call their own.
* Look for a builder with a solid reputation. A builder’s reputation speaks volumes, but it doesn’t have to speak for istself. That’s because a builder who has spent years providing personal service, innovative design and quality workmanship will no doubt have a host of happy former customers ready and willing to offer their input. If during the interview process a builder appears reticent to share his work or experi-ences with previous customers, this should be a red flag. Reputable builders will be proud of their work and more than willing to show it off.
* Find a builder who is flexible. You will be pay-ing to build your home, not the builder’s home. A
builder should be flexible and ready and willing to meet your needs, no matter how unique they might be.
* Look for a builder who does more than build. A good builder should do more than just build. A builder should provide a network of qualified pro-fessionals to make the process go more smoothly. This network should include real estate and build-ing consultants, interior designers, architects and engineers. Such connections can provide peace of mind and will also illustrate that a builder is both respected in the community and is intent on ensuring your home becomes the dream home you envision it to be.
* Don’t build on the cheap. Buyers who plan to build their own home are in the unique position to ensure their home is as safe and high-quality as pos-sible. This isn’t always the case when buying a re-sale, so make the most of your opportunity and use only top-of-the-line construction materials and fea-tures and choose a builder with experience in work-ing with such materials and features. Building on the cheap could prove disastrous in the not too distant future, so don’t sacrifice on quality when building a new home.

Many questions arise during the home-buying process. Buyers looking at homes that require a good deal of TLC may wonder who is responsible for the home’s repairs, particularly if such repairs are needed to secure a cer-tificate of occupancy. Depending on the situation, there is no clear-cut answer.
There is no perfect home, and things that are acceptable to the current owner may not be acceptable to the buyer who is looking to become the next owner. The home-buying process is typically a careful cooperation between buyer and seller to find a middle ground. The buyer may have to make some conces-sions, as will the seller. Ultimately, it is this cooperation that often determines if the sale goes through or is terminated.
Before any negotiations can begin regarding repairs, it is adviseable for a buyer to have an independent inspector come out and look over the home and property. Most real estate agents will suggest this be done as a first priority -- even before a contract is entered on the home. An inspection will unveil any potential problems in a home and indicate things that the buyer may not be aware of, including items that do not meet with code or could be unsafe. An inspector also may point out problems that could cause a mortgage lender to give pause. This may mean the lender will deem problems unsafe and refuse to fund the mortgage until repairs are made.
A copy of this inspection report should be sent to the home seller to re-view with his or her attorney and real es-tate agent. The buyer working with his own real estate attorney and agent can petition for certain repairs to be made. Many sellers will make such repairs to
ensure the purchase goes through, or they will accept a lower purchase price to compensate for the needed repairs, which the buyer will then make. Buyers might want to hire a good real estate at-torney to write clauses into the contract to protect their interests. This allows the buyer to forfeit the sale and walk away from the contract should an issue arise.
The rules often change when buying a home that is a short sale or in fore-closure. A home that is in distress is typically in this situation because the current owners cannot afford to pay their mortgage, and thusly, are not able to afford repairs. According to Think Glink, a money-management Web site, buyers may try to negotiate repairs with the seller, but they shouldn’t assume that sellers (or lenders in the event of a bank-owned home) are responsible for the repairs. Generally speaking, most short sales and foreclosures are sold “as is” and may even specify that repairs and requirements for the certificate of occupancy are the buyer’s responsibil-ity. A buyer also can ask to have the home price reduced to cover the repairs. But foreclosures are often already deep-ly discounted.
Buyers should know that, for a home that is not in foreclosure, there are some repairs that should ultimate-ly be the responsibility of the seller. If these repairs are not made, a buyer should think strongly about walk-ing away from the deal, according to Why6Percent.com, a real estate mar-keting site. Such repairs include:
* lender-required repairs that could impact home safety
* leaky pipes* water penetration issues, includ-
ing a bad roof
* unsafe decking or handrails* wet basements or crawl spaces* insecure foundations or obvious
structural damage* poorly functioning sewer lines
or septic systemIt is always adviseable for buyers
to speak with a reliable real estate at-torney and a trusted real estate agent to guide them through the process
of buying a home. These people can help buyers navigate the important decisions that can affect the home they’ll be living in for the next sev-eral years.

Paying property taxes is a necessary side effect of home ownership. Across the United States and Cana-da, residents are required to pay property taxes based on an assessment of their homes’ value.
Taxes on land and the buildings on it are one of the biggest sources of revenue for local governments. In the United States, property taxes are not imposed by the states, but by the smaller governing bodies in cities, towns, townships, counties, and other jurisdic-tions. In Canada, property taxes, or milliage taxes, are levied by the jurisdiction in which the property is located. They may be paid to a federated state or a municipality or the national government. Sometimes multiple jurisdictions may tax the same property.
Although the taxes are mandated by a higher gov-erning power, the rate at which you pay taxes could be based on a very local assessment of the area in which your house is located and the current market conditions. An assessor will visit a home -- usually prior to purchase -- and make a determination on the percentage of tax to be paid depending on the condi-tion of the home, the improvements that have been made and the climate of the economy in your particu-lar town or city. Property taxes are usually calculated by taking the assessed value of your home and mul-tiplying it by the tax rate that has been determined by your local government.
While no one can “legally” escape paying prop-erty taxes, there are several ways to have them low-ered. Getting your home re-assessed is one such way. Individuals who have reached a certain age may be eligible for certain discounts on property taxes. But this may require a very low income to qualify. There are also some tax credits or homestead exemptions that may qualify you for a limited assessed value on the property.
According to data from the Tax Foundation and Forbes, areas of New Jersey, New York and Illinois boast some of the highest property taxes. Residents of Hunterdon County, New Jersey paid on average $8,600 a year between 2005 and 2009. Those in Lake County, Illinois pay around $6,500. People living in Westchester County, New York can plan on spending
$8,400 per year. Statistics indicate that homes located in Ontario cities in central Canada have the highest property taxes. Toronto residents, for example, pay an average of $3,900.
In this tough economy, lowering property taxes (which are generally rolled into the mortgage amount for ease of payment) could substantially reduce bills. As many as 60 percent of properties across the Unit-ed States are overassessed, according to the National Taxpayers Union, a nonprofit group that promotes lower taxes.
If you suspect your property taxes are high, here are the steps to take.
* Get a copy of your property tax assessment from the local assessor’s office and double-check all the information contained to see if it is correct.
* Check the assessments of five comparable homes that have sold in your neighborhood in the last three years.
* An independent appraiser can also provide you accurate information at a cost. Make sure he or she is licensed with the National Association of Indepen-dent Fee Appraisers or by the American Society of Appraisers.
* It’s not possible to lower the property tax rate, just the assessed value of the home through an offi-cial appeal. There may be fees associated with this appeal, however.
Some home improvements will increase the value of your home and, in turn, your property taxes. Here are some of the most common culprits:
- extra stories to the home- outhouses, like a guest house- sports courts, like tennis- installation of an inground pool- improvements to fencing- addition of a garage or another room on the
homeA change in the status of a neighborhood can also
give rise to higher property taxes. An influx of new residents or new construction of stores and homes can have a major effect on the assessed value of your home.
