Frankly, I have never seen a realtor that knows squat about residential constructions. They blow smoke like used car salesman. I will never forget looking at a new construction several years ago, and wondered why they put this huge plant in one corner. I move the plant and stand back and I notice the corner of the house was actually lower than the rest of the house! You should hear the stories coming from the realtor. Telling me that the builder is the 'best of the best' etc. The development eventually went bankrupt and the units sold for a song. I am not saying where this is but some of you have an idea which association this is.

There are already threads on sidings on this site and you should find plenty of ideas. I don't want to repeat, you will find how I did one energy efficient home a few years ago. Five plus rating and the owner is extremely happy with the siding.
