Fisher Homes
Hi,
We are considering building a new home with Fisher in one of thier KY sub-divisions. We would love to get any insight or experience from other who may have built or know some who built with them.
Thanks,
Mel
Re: Fisher Homes
Someone in my family bought a condo built by Fisher, and I noticed some issues almost immediately. For example, the island in the kitchen was wobbly, as was the hand rail along the stairs.
Bottom line no matter who you build with the builder will try to cut corners. Their goal is to build homes and make a profit. Go into it with your eyes open.
Check your job site daily to see the progress and point everything out you are concerned with the day you see it.
If you do decide to build, DOCUMENT EVERYTHING!
Have you looked at existing homes? There are still a lot of good deals out there on the market and that will remove all the stress of building and fixing mistakes.... I wish I had bought and existing home a year ago.
My only experience with them is when we talked to them about building a house last year. I was really turned off by the sales rep because of the way he talked down to us. We ended up going with an independent builder and couldn't be happier.
The other reason we decided against Fischer is because DH's best friend built with them and said he would never do it again. He has had problems and they do not stand behind their work.
You're going to get mixed reviews for every builder I'm sure, but PP is right, you need to check on the job site every day, document things, take pictures, etc.

This is our builder and I highly recommend him so if you decide to explore other options for NKY I think he is definitely worth talking to.
Good Luck!
Ditto what the others say... Every construction home is going to have some sort of issue. We had a horrid time with Fischer and our condo. Here's a link to an earlier post about it. http://community.thenest.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/36524869.aspx
See my post. That was Fischer.
That being said, I also know others who have Fischer houses and love them. So it's a toss up... Just know that building new comes with its own set of headaches.
