I answered this on another Megatel question, but it seems to apply here so I just copied it here too. :)

My husband and I are building a Megatel home in McKinney, TX currently. Zach, Aaron and staff have been a dream to work with. We start construction in the next couple of weeks. I will try to remember to post more as the build goes on to give you more info.

Here is what I have learned so far. Their homes are far superior to all of the other builders that we looked at for the price. We looked in the McKinney, Frisco, Prosper, Allen areas because we are relocating for my husband's job. Megatel DOES NOT cut any corners. They are giving us a ton of features that are considered standard with Megatel, that with other builders would be upgrades. Granite everywhere, hand-scraped hardwoods, etc. The minute our house is built, we will have instant equity because of the value of the products that they use. Believe me, I have spent hours researching to ensure that our decision was the correct one in this type of economy.

According to our contract, our house is going to be energy star certified. Also it will be listed in the green built directory here: http://www.greenbuiltnorthtexas.com/homeregistry.htm.

Here is a link to our realtor's site about Megatel: http://www.mckinneyhomerebate.com/megatel-homes.htm - he offers a rebate of 2% on Megatel Homes, which also helps during these economic times.

Hi John,

I would suggest to an inspection, whether you are purchasing an inventory or doing a build job. Most buyers think because it is a brand new home that they don't need a home inspection. This is completely false! Homes are made by humans which means mistakes can happen. If you are doing a build job, get a phase inspection. This where the inspector inspects during different phases of the construction of the home.

I would be more than happy to assist you on finding & purchasing your home. I specialize in the sales of brand new homes and I work the entire Dallas-Ft. Worth area!

Please feel free to call or email me at your convenience.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Make it a Blessed Day!!

I have never heard this yet. All the customers I have heard that used them have been very happy. They are fairly new so they do not have the record as some of the other builders in the area. However you can find naysayers on every builder that is for sure. My last client to buy megatel bought a build job. He was allowed to looked at the finished product at every step of the way and they were very responsive to his needs.

As far as finished product in my opinion they are one of the best priced for what you get. When you head this way I would be happy to be your Realtor. I have lived in Forney most of my life. I also have a very good knowledge of the area as a whole as I have lived in many different areas around the metroplex.

Dont hesitate to call or email me with questions. When yall come in town I would love to show you around. As an added bonus my lack of a large name broker allows me to rebate you 20% of the commission I make off the sale after closing.

Thanks for your time
