Are you ready to start seeing your dream home come to life? Youre in good company. Bloomberg reported recently on figures released from the Commerce Department, which showed new home sales in December reaching the highest level in more than six years.

Since youve done the research to know exactly what style of home you want to build and the products youd like to see installed, it is time to look for the builder to make your image a reality. Where do you begin the search?

Start by calling your local home builders association for a list of builder members, Keith Kerns of Kerns Construction, Inc. said. (The Topeka Home Builders Association also has a list of member builders on their website, thba.com.) Kerns added, Call your local lumber yard and ask for a list of local quality builders, and check with family, friends and co-workers who have recently built.

Personal references from people you know are also the favorite resource for Mark Boling of Mark Boling Construction, Inc. Plus, he recommended scoping out trade shows, such as the upcoming THBA Annual Topeka Home Show at the Kansas Expocentre February 27 through March 1. Most area builders will be on hand to meet with you and answer any questions.

Local REALTORS are also good information resources. Look in the At Home Living section at the new homes for sale to find builders who construct your style of house. Once you get a list of builders you think may fit what youre looking for, search the internet to see what is being said about their work. Also check with the Better Business Bureau.

Next, schedule interviews with the builders, and make sure you bring a notebook to jot down the information you receive. What questions should you ask a prospective builder? Here are some important ones:

1. How long have you been in business?

2. Are you a licensed and insured contractor?

3. What kind of warranty do you offer? Read the warranty carefully to see what kind of protection the builder will provide after the home is complete.

4. Do you have references? You will want current references for projects similar to yours, plus references from past customers to judge the quality of the builders work over the long term. Also ask to view these homes.

Residential Warranty Company, LLC (RWC), a leading provider of insured home warranties for the building industry and its affiliates HOME of Texas (HOME), and MHWC, wish to acknowledge and congratulate the 2014 Sales Awards Winners! The Account Executives recognized this year for their individual achievements have each generated much business activity logging appointments, PR visits, phone calls, mailings, in addition to all of the day-to-day basics that ultimately resulted in another successful and productive year.

The Outstanding Account Executive of the Year Award is RWC, HOME and MHWCs premier award, bestowed upon the Account Executive who puts forth the most effort in a multitude of categories. While home warranty sales figures obviously are a critical factor, there are many other duties important to the sales process that pave the way for the sale to be made. The Outstanding Account Executive of the Year Award encompasses all these factors and more.

For 2014, RWC, HOME and MHWC are excited to announce a first time winner, Agnes Brennan, as our Outstanding Account Executive of the Year. Agnes is a 20-year veteran of the company with 11 of those years as a Builder Account Representative for the Sales Department. Her knowledge of the home warranty industry, combined with her excellent customer service, is unparalleled and makes her a true asset to the many RWC home warranty members she has brought into the fold.

As any sales-driven organization is well-aware, the success of a company is driven by dedicated and hard-working sales people. This year, six different Account Executives worked their way into contention for all of the companies top awards, truly a well-rounded and dedicated sales force. RWC is pleased and proud to have these winners on board.
