Design Center Considerations
When you’ve decided to build a new home, part of the fun is visiting the builder’s design center where you’ll get to pick out many of your options. Floor coverings, countertops, paint colors, and much more! Keep in mind that it’s important to remember how much you are pre-qualified for so you don’t go over your budget when choosing upgrades.
