[WSBARP] Never Satisfied New Home Buyer

[scott at scottgthomaslaw.com]

I don't know of a theory that would not risk litigation, but I offer this
suggestion from a case I had a few years ago.  My clients were building a
new home and were very nervous about sinking a lot of money into their dream
home.  And they were very particular, something the contractor could not get
past.  Contractor assigned one of his employees to be the sole contact,
listening to clients, smoothing ruffled feathers, assuring them that he
would take care of their concerns, essentially talking them down from the
ledge.  Contractor's contact/emloyee, despite being a framer and an
ex-marine, had excellent skills for this type of thing.  Worked like a
charm.  Once he became involved, my workload seemed to be cut in half.
Probably more.  If there is a real estate broker with knowledge of
homebuilding involved, they can be a fantastic resource in keeping a deal
together.

Listmates,

 

PC, new home builder, just started construction of new home.  Buyer is at
site daily and complains about everything, and becomes overly emotional.  PC
is worried Buyer will never be happy about any of their work.  Of course,
the contract is silent as to this situation.  Is there any theory under
which the home builder can walk away at this point and not be in breach?
