Unfortunately, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/real-estate-us\/broker-system\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6659\">estate agent <\/a>had to go to an appointment and didn&#8217;t have the opportunity to <strong>draw up<\/strong> a <strong>contract<\/strong> that day. Never mind, it gave us a few hours to think about it and sleep on it for a night. Unfortunately, we were to pay for that, because the next day everything was completely different.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We came into the office, the contract was drawn up, we went through it step by step and already had the pen in our hands for the signature. The estate agent had probably also used it during the night, because suddenly the price was ten figures higher. That&#8217;s what I call a growth rate. He didn&#8217;t care about his \u201c<strong>yesterday&#8217;s gossip<\/strong>\u201d either, because we then showed him yesterday&#8217;s handwritten price calculation.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, that&#8217;s always the case with a foreign language &#8211; you speak it, but not perfectly. When it comes to discussions or negotiations, you simply can&#8217;t argue in the same way as in your native language. At this point, there was another counterproductive fact: the launch of the Builders Showcase in Cape Coral. This is an initiative of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cccia.org\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.cccia.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cape Coral Construction Industry Association<\/a><\/strong> (CCCIA), where premium builders present their best model homes to residents and visitors alike. The best are awarded prizes in various categories.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Builders Showcase in Cape Coral<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it was precisely this event that brought our new builders an incredible eleven new orders within one weekend. From one day to the next, we had the feeling that people suddenly no longer wanted to build with us. Because standard houses &#8211; we remember &#8211; are much easier to produce and calculate. What can I say, we were once again at a loss. After all, we still had &#8211; even <strong>with the surprise surcharge<\/strong> &#8211; a good price compared to other offers, no offer from Builder 1 and hardly any alternative.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We almost decided to accept the offer with a handshake plus a one-day upgrade, when suddenly <strong>the architect <\/strong>of our floor plan called to ask what was going on with the construction plans to be produced. In response to our answer about the offer from Builder 1, he was surprised and said goodbye. Shortly afterwards, Builder 1 called and offered us an appointment: We went through our now extended Specification List and asked him if he could build Builder 2&#8217;s package to yesterday&#8217;s budget and he replied: \u201c<strong>I easily can do that<\/strong>\u201d. So we started from scratch and he was awarded the contract. And what about us? Once again, we had a builder. Now we can finally get started.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab uagb-block-58f7a839\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-548dee76 uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-above-title uagb-infobox-image-valign-top\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-image-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Auswandern-L1A-E2-Visum.jpg\" alt=\"Hauskauf in Florida\" width=\"100\" height=\"127\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><h3 class=\"uagb-ifb-title\">Buying a house: 21 questions and answers<\/h3><\/div><p class=\"uagb-ifb-desc\">Be honest: haven&#8217;t you ever thought about buying a property in Florida and fulfilling your dream of owning your own vacation home?<\/p><div class=\"uagb-ifb-button-wrapper wp-block-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/real-estate-us\/buy-sell-home\/\" target=\"_self\" onclick=\"return true;\" class=\"uagb-infobox-cta-link\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"uagb-inline-editing\">KNOW WHAT TO ASK<\/span><svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path d=\"M504.3 273.6l-112.1 104c-6.992 6.484-17.18 8.218-25.94 4.406c-8.758-3.812-14.42-12.45-14.42-21.1L351.9 288H32C14.33 288 .0002 273.7 .0002 255.1S14.33 224 32 224h319.9l0-72c0-9.547 5.66-18.19 14.42-22c8.754-3.809 18.95-2.075 25.94 4.41l112.1 104C514.6 247.9 514.6 264.1 504.3 273.6z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-81de5f7f alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq uagb-faq__outer-wrap uagb-block-8716293a uagb-faq-icon-row-reverse uagb-faq-layout-accordion uagb-faq-expand-first-false uagb-faq-inactive-other-true uagb-faq__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap uagb-faq-equal-height     \" data-faqtoggle=\"true\" role=\"tablist\"><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.florida-scout.com\\\/en\\\/house-construction-report\\\/home-builder\\\/\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the Builders Showcase in Cape Coral?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The Builders Showcase in Cape Coral is <strong>an annual event <\\\/strong>at which local construction companies present their<strong> show homes and current construction projects to the public. <\\\/strong>The event is usually organized by the Cape Coral Construction Industry Association (CCCIA).
