Can we save money on new construction if we do not have a REALTOR?
This question can be easily answered by an experienced buyer agent versed in the new construction process. Builders have all their costs rolled into the price of a new home build. If a consumer approaches the on-site agent without agent representation, the builder will absorb the commission meant for the buyer agent.
Many builders will not reduce their price on new construction either but may be willing to throw in a refrigerator as a buyer incentive, offer upgraded countertops in the kitchen or back yard landscape if a buyer goes with their preferred lender. There are so many reasons to hire an experienced real estate agent, rather than going it alone. The onsite salesperson works for the builder, not the home buyer.
A buyer agent can write the contract, negotiate on behalf of the buyer, ensure a smoother transaction, help assure procedures are done correctly and pending deadlines are met in a timely manner. Purchasing a home is a huge commitment, invest wisely by hiring an experienced buyer agent to help every step of the way!
