"Thank you so much for your work in helping us buy a new home and sell our old house. As our purchasing agent, you constantly kept us apprised as new houses came on the market – which was invaluable in finding our new home. When it came time to sell our home, you gave on the mark pricing advice, and then worked tirelessly to make sure our closing went smoothly. When it comes to realtors, in our case “Dream Agents Did Come True”."

Jill and Bryan

Buying Land and New Construction >Testing the Soil

Are you building a custom-designed home on hand picked acreage? An essential step is testing the soil, which will determine the composition of the ground that must provide a stable foundation for your new home.

The soil could have a combination of various conditions and characteristics. It might be fine, silt-laden soil that collapses when it absorbs excessive water, or soil with a high clay content that sucks up water and then expands under a building, causing it to buckle or shift. Such soil is easy to excavate but unstable to build on. It must be replaced in compacted layers until it achieves suitable density to provide a stable foundation for the house.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, your land might sit on a layer of hard rock, which is wonderfully stable, but extremely hard to penetrate. Excavation costs will be higher if your builder has to bring in heavy equipment to dig out the rock. A professional soil report will help your builder determine the best approach to engineering your site.
