How Do We Give You An Advantage?
- Representation: We represent your interests exclusively, whereas the builder's sales agent represents the builder. This ensures you have someone negotiating on your behalf and looking out for your best interests throughout the transaction.
- Market Knowledge: We have extensive knowledge of the local real estate market, including new construction trends, pricing, and the reputation of builders. This can provide valuable insights and help you make informed decisions.
- Negotiation Skills: We are experienced skilled negotiators who can potentially negotiate upgrades, discounts, or other incentives from the builder that you might not be able to secure on your own.
- Contract Expertise: We are familiar with real estate contracts and can review the builder's contract to ensure your rights are protected and that you understand all terms and conditions before signing.
- Builder Reputation: We can research and provide information about the builder's reputation, previous projects, customer satisfaction, and any potential issues, helping you make a more informed decision.
- Assistance with Inspections: Even with new construction, inspections are important. We can recommend independent inspectors to ensure the home is built to code and help address any issues that arise during the building process.
- Guidance through the Process: Purchasing a new construction home involves different stages (pre-construction, construction, closing), and we can guide you through each phase, ensuring you meet deadlines, understand the process, and manage expectations.
- Local Connections: We have established relationships with builders, lenders, inspectors, and other professionals in the area, which can streamline the process and provide access to trusted resources.
- Saves Time and Stress: We handle the details and paperwork this can save you time and reduce stress, allowing you to focus on other aspects of moving and settling into your new home.
- Cost-effective: Contrary to common misconception, using a realtor typically doesn't cost the buyer extra when purchasing new construction. The builder typically pays the realtor's commission, making it a valuable service at no additional cost to you.
Overall, using an outside realtor when purchasing a new construction home can provide expertise, advocacy, and peace of mind throughout the entire buying process, ensuring you make a well-informed decision and receive the best possible terms and conditions from the builder.
