Default Builder put window in wrong place

Sorry I wasn't clear. Anytime I call about an issue they act like my
issue isn't a big deal... nothing I should complain about. Like the
builder was going to move the laundry room wall another three feet
into the garage, and didn't do it. But, I was told by my realtor that
since he wasn't charging us for this change there was nothing I could
do about him not doing it. It was also a verbal agreement, and was
not in the contract... so it was a lesson learned for me. Also, he
placed a door opening in the opposite direction that the plans
showed... when I called about it and spoke to the realtor I was told
that the plans were just wrong.

It is hard to say what the builder's attitude is. Unfortunately I have
very little direct contact with the builder, since i am required to
field all questions through my realtor and she fields them through his
realtor. Every question I have had has been like a game of telephone.

The window not be centered, just bothers me. The plans show it
centered and that is the way I want it.

Here is a link to the picture of just the side of the window:

Please let me know if you think I am being overally picky.

I plan to call my realtor in the morning.


Sounds like your realtor has her loyalties mixed up. She does work for
you and is obligated to look out for your best interest. Maybe she
needs to be reminded of this. If she is being brow-beat by the builder
and his agent you need another agent.

The window is wrong; now a door, and you don't like it.

Are you going to "close" on the house?
