... Are builders sufficiently motivated and do they work well and reliably due to the construction boom, or are they rather somewhat careless or overworked because of the many (potential) customers? In other words, how do you currently assess your position and negotiating power as a prefabricated house buyer (Leipzig region)?

You can usually filter out the "non-buyers" quite reliably in the first conversation. They don’t receive an offer. Well, the person preparing the offer can indicate whether the prospect belongs to the buyers or the lookers. But they will usually end their career with the current commission provider if they refuse to make offers to the lookers.

That’s why you should only buy from professionals and let the "talkers" expose themselves. That’s why I advised the original poster to also ask questions where they can be sure of the correct answer themselves.

Even though there is hardly any training available for sales, it is a professional business where many amateurs are active. Funny enough, the amateurs often call themselves gurus and only share their tips for 14 days after the webinar through a video course for just 295 euros.

I would prefer a small turnkey home general contractor from the region, but despite weeks of research, I haven’t been able to find one. A tip: contact all of them informally. This gives you a good sense of whether the personal interaction will work.
An example from our experience:
Unger Park Leipzig "Helma Haus"
- First meeting: 2 hours spent sketching the house on the computer without answering important basic questions about construction or additional building costs
- Poor communication
Regional general contractor / solid construction builder (Town & Country franchisee)
- First meeting: 2 hours discussing building costs
- Continuous communication via email, patiently answered all questions
You can quickly tell where the focus lies. If you don’t feel supported and communication is poor, I would keep looking or ask other homeowners in the area (a construction diary list is a good place to start).

See, on the contrary: in my own work (in a completely different industry), I’ve successfully used the strategic decision to keep away the Kretins and Plettys—customers you really don’t want—by having a website that’s nearly impossible to find. In referral business, it’s true that “like attracts like,” meaning a satisfied client won’t recommend a service provider to the biggest idiots they know, but rather to good acquaintances.It was the same for us. We asked our building supervisor, “Who would you recommend?” and he gave us two companies I would never have found on Google. The recommendations turned out to be reliable.

Better than here. He managed to hold back from laughing at us. Passive house is eco-friendly and ridiculous.The KfW construction standard is also outdated for him because interest rates are low, so there is no longer any reason to build energy-efficient.
