Why You Should Have A Realtor To Purchase New Constrcution Home

By
Real Estate Agent with Helen Adams Realty 266836

Many families today have choices out there when it comes to buying a house....One of them is purchasing of new construction. It can be a home that already is built (builder spec house) or one that you contract to build with the builder.

There is one thing most (and I do mean most) families do not realize is that when you go into these model homes. Those friendly Realtors that you are greeted by and offer you there help work for the builder---NOT YOU. They are well trained to show a perception they are working for you....but the reality is that the builder pays them...not you.

There job is to sell the homes that the builder builds for the most amount of money...Our job as a buyer's Realtor is to help you find the right house (new or old) that fits your needs for the fairest price.

To protect YOUR interests when buying new construction you should have a Realtor accompany you to the negotiation and purchase of the home. Chances are you have not purchased a home in a few years (for some it is the first purchase).

A Realtor can help you with decisions about what to ask comes in the house. Options that you may not think of or know about that we do because we do it everyday. We can help you with the negotiations on the price and options. help you make an informed decision on the financing terms offered by the builder......

Surveys have shown that home buyers that walk into and purchase a new construction home with the aide of a Realtor (not working for the builder) come out on average almost 10% better between price and financing terms over the 30 years.....

Think about that for a minute. if you are buying a $200,000 home that is potentially $20,000 saved with the help of a Realtor...and the best part is the builder will pay us to help you...So, it costs you NOTHING......

Couldn't agree more.  I've had clients purchase new construction unrepresented and the best case scenario winds up with them asking questions I'm not qualified to answer and the worse case...we'll we've heard those.
