Opposite anecdote: I walked into a model home, talked to the builder, chose a plot of land in the community, chose a floor plan with the options I wanted and had a brand new house built on it within 6 months.

I did that twice…

Both times in metro Atlanta.

Ironically, this was in metro Atlanta as well. I'd note that it was for reno work (roof and some deck) rather than new build.

I'd hope the new build market is a little more professional.

Although I saw a couple strip-to-frame-and-rebuild houses worked on and then failed code (word on the street was improper framing nailing, ouch) near another house in Kirkwood, so I guess there's dipshits the world over.
