Episode description

Building your first custom home should be exciting, but there's one massive mistake I see first-time builders make over and over again ... and it's costing them thousands of dollars and major regrets on move-in day.

In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what this critical mistake is and how you can completely avoid it with the right planning process.

You'll learn:

  • The biggest custom home building mistake that sets everything else up for failure
  • Why having Pinterest boards isn't the same as having a clear vision
  • The real cost of this mistake (spoiler: it's way more than just money!)
  • How to get crystal clear on your vision before you break ground

Plus, I'll share stories from my BEFORE YOU BUILD℠ clients like Sheri, who went from total panic to moving into her stunning dream home, and Mare, who came in $6,500 UNDER budget.

If you're planning to build a custom home, this episode could save you thousands in change orders and years of regret. Don't let this preventable mistake turn your dream home into an expensive lesson!
