  • Ep 52: The Same Experience, No Matter When You Buy
    Jan 16 2026

    Katie and Ben explain the two paths to purchasing a Berks Homes home. Building a to-be-built home or buying a quick move-in spec home and how both lead to the same overall customer experience. They break down why each option exists, how specs help maintain construction flow, and what changes behind the scenes for sales, operations, and communication. The conversation reinforces that no matter when a buyer enters the process, the goal is the same: clear communication, proper expectation-setting, and a well-built home.
