You’ve heard of college orientations, but what about home orientations? A home orientation helps you get to know your new construction home—and how everything there works. That way, when you unpack your boxes and settle in, you don’t have to worry about figuring out how your dishwasher or dryer works. Here’s just what to expect from your new home orientation.
When will my home orientation take place?
Your home orientation will take place after the inspection and closing. That way, you can get familiar with the amazing new construction house you’ve just purchased.
How long will my home orientation take?
If you’re wondering what to expect from your new home orientation, it’s good to know how long it will last. Typically, this process takes about two hours.
What topics will my home orientation cover?
The purpose of your home orientation is to show you how everything in your new construction home works. It will cover the appliances you use every day, such as your dishwasher and stove, showing you how to operate them.
Additionally, it will show you where your furnace, septic system, and other crucial installations are. You can also expect to learn about maintenance, like changing your air filter, so that you can keep your home in tip-top shape.
Can I ask questions during the orientation?
Yes! In fact, we encourage you to ask as many as possible. You can even write down some beforehand, so that you don’t forget anything important.
Will I receive any resources?
Of course! Moving can feel like an exciting whirlwind. Your Realtor won’t expect you to remember everything covered. So, you will also receive binders of information about your new house as well.
What can I do to get the most out of my home orientation?
There are three main things you can do to get the most out of the experience. They are:
- Asking any questions that cross your mind;
- Writing down any information you think is useful; and
- Take videos, so you can see how to enter codes, operate appliances, and more.
