<p>arctichaze,</p>
<p>I went and pre-viewed Savannah models.</p>
<p> OMG, I usually respect other people's product and not to make any negative comments. However, I felt it is an ethical thing to say that I think It's will be a resale nightmare! I have never seen any product this poor. I hope the builder would reconsider this type of home design.</p>

Arctichaze....I hope everything works out well for you.
NIR...can you share what you thought was so poorly constructed? If not we understand.

<p>mino2126,</p>
<p>When you buy you must think of resale. No exception here.</p>
<p>First impression is very important. You walk into a home and you have 3 seconds to feel good, so so, or "get me out of here". You know the answer.</p>
<p>This type of homes fit well for bachelors and bachorrettes. You know this period on being single is very short lived.</p>
<p>Contruction is fine. The layout is bad, I felt like throwing eggs at the architects. This type of layout is acceptable if the homes are sitting on the sand or on top of the world.</p>
<p>And the price is not that great.</p>

<p>What exactly about the layout did you not like? Which residences in particular? </p>

NIR....so is that how you sell the houses you are the RE for? What if they homeowners are looking for a home that they can raise a family in and grow old in? I might be one of the few but when I buy I will not want to move again for a number of yrs. My family bought their house when I was 5 yrs old, I am not 28yrs old and they still live there.

<p>I would hope my agent looks out for that stuff. Just because I, as a homebuyer, does not care about that so much, does not mean that the agent should not. In fact, I think it is their fiduciary duty to assess whether the home can retain resale value, regardless of what the buyer's horizon is.</p>

<p>mino,</p>
<p>RE agents are just like doctors and lawyers in the sense that they can do everything for your best interest, or for very little. That why I stressed that you must get referral.</p>
<p>Let's put it this way. Down the road after I purchased a home for my client, I would become the listing agent to sell the same house again. Why would I make it hard on myself.</p>
<p>gepetoh is correct. Agents have fiduciary duty to represent their clients to their best interest. </p>

<p>I still have not been able to get rid of the images: blank walls and more blank walls with no windows, pitched black narrow foyers, narrow boxy rooms, endless straight-up stairs. Basically, it's not inviting.</p>
<p>The only residence that I remotely can resale easily is the both plan 1s. At $480K after upgrades, you are looking at >$500/sq. ft. Very expensive.</p>
<p>And the big buildings and more big buildings. Like a school of fish. I think parking is going to be a nightmare.</p>
