[QUOTE="greatgerts, post: 718599, member: 181"] The original builder I was going to go through has some sort of deal worked out with Direct Buy to where he gives them your information (One thing I didn't like with them) They will keep calling and calling, no matter what. I still get calls 5 months after I stopped dealing with that builder. I am hoping to have ground broken this week on my new house. This will be my home that wasn't a college rental or the parents' so I am wanting to do it right the first time. The builder that I had mentioned before was a pretty slick salesman and just about "had me in". I had looked at all of their stuff and seemed a little high on price, but figured it was more designed at prices near the city and it may drop in the country. Well, I got talking with a buddy that does some excavating and he told me about how a few people he knew got screwed over by this guy and their houses ended up costing over $100,000 more than what they were quoted at AND there were mistakes made that were not fixed. So, I called the lawyer right away and said we needed to do whatever we could to not deal with this jerk any more. I got a letter back saying the company wanted $60,000 as that was their expected profit on the house. My lawyer replied back saying basically "tough ****", and I have not heard anything from them since. Since then I have found a very good builder that is more local, and his bid was $80,000 less than the other guy. I hope that anyone going through building a house does not have to deal with jerks like this. OH, the BBB did not have anything bad about the original builder and I did not see anything bad on the internet or anywhere I had searched until I had talked to my buddy. I just do not want anyone to go through the crap that I had to go through, and I haven't even broke ground yet... [/QUOTE]
