Building a house in Metro Atlanta just got much easier. Why? More local home builders are partnering with lenders who participate in down payment assistance on new construction homes to help home buyers with their down payment on a house. Combine the right program with the typical incentives offered by new home builders, such as a sizeable contribution toward the home buyer closing costs and the incentives really add up, making that new home more affordable.
There are a few things that home buyers should know before visiting with those new housing developments.
- The onsite sales agent will likely look at you rather strangely when you begin rattling off unrepresented by your own agent about grants, interest and monthly payment-free loans and other down payment assistance, grants for the down payment, and such before hastily handing you the business card of their preferred lender who will also pretend to be completely bewildered by your inquiry.
- The funds required of the buyer to close may still be higher even with the builder’s contribution toward closing costs when compared with down payment assistance offered through a competitive lender.
- The onsite sales agent represents the seller and will seem genuinely concerned about your wants and needs, right up until you hand over an earnest money deposit, often of an amount well into the thousands of dollars to guaranty the unfamiliar language of a sales contract that you’ve signed.
The sales price is the sales price whether you are represented by your own agent or not. I know these Metro Atlanta area home buyer programs, mainintain a list of Metro Atlanta Home Builders and am experienced in protecting the interests of the home buyer. In fact, I may already have a sample contract for many of these builders on file for your review from the comfort of your own home.
Anyone has access to many of the most popular local down payment assistance programs for both first home buyers and other home buying programs, but I'd like to know your wants and needs. If you’re considering a move into Metro Atlanta, will you please call me for more information at (678) 775-2677? Also, pleasse follow me on Facebook and Twitter.
