Las Vegas, Nevada -- Have you ever walked into a new home track and been greeted by those smiling, friendly sales people who offer you bottled water and free cookies? Please don't be fooled. They don't represent you. They represent the builder. They are paid by the builder and their job is to get the best deal for the builder. Who is looking out for you? Who is going to ensure you are getting the best possible deal? For example, are you aware that you don't have to use the builder's preferred lender? What if you’re able to get a better interest rate and monthly payment by using your own lender? Did you know that the sales price of the home and most upgrade expenses are typically negotiable?
When you use your own real estate agent to purchase a new home, it doesn’t cost a dime. In fact, the builder pays all the Broker fees. If you don’t use your own agent, most builders won’t give you any type of credit. There is simply no financial benefit or advantage by going at it alone. Using your own agent is like having an “extra set of eyes” throughout the transaction so nothing gets overlooked. Your agent will follow up on the builder through every phase of construction. Remember, you can get a high school diploma with a passing grade of a “D.” The same is true with building inspections. A good agent will hold the builders accountable so your home doesn’t just “pass” inspection but gets built to the highest possible standards.
Buying a home in Las Vegas is different than other cities. Since the desert climate is hot, choosing the right upgrades can save you hundreds of dollars or more on your monthly utility bill. An experienced agent will review the energy efficient upgrades with you so you can make the best choices. Additionally, they will assist you in selecting the right lot. Homebuyers sometimes forget to check which direction a house faces and how it affects their daily routine. For example, if your master bedroom faces east, be prepared for early morning sunshine while you’re trying to sleep. Are you planning on having a pool? If your backyard faces east, prepare for shade when swimming during summer afternoons. If you prefer all day sunshine, then southern exposure might be a better option.
Don't be fooled by free cookies. Free buyer representation with a competent and experienced agent beats free cookies any day! It can also save you time, money and help you get the best possible product from the builder.
