The need for a consultant

[Tim Mcbee]

I am a general contractor in the Corpus Christi area of Texas. Throughout my years in construction I have found that there are numerous people who have gotten hurt on their first deal, home, or even small renovation. Let's face it there is a extremely successful TV show all about it...

The best thing I recently heard was from one of the podcast that the gentleman said something along the lines of 'if this was your family member or friend how would you see the deal going differently?'

My question to the readers: Is there a market for a consultant to the newbies and first home buyers who are signing their first contract? Every time I hear of project gone wrong or a new home charging 40% over budget  I say 'you should have called me, I would have walked you through the construction process and made sure to keep XYZ Contractor honest!'

I have been a construction manager representative for the government for several years overseeing contracts, purchase orders, quality assurance, etc., how can I introduce this concept to the real estate industry?

Please feel free to share your stories and suggestions.
