George Souto - A builder's rep is a sales person, not a licensee. Here in TX, even if a Realtor left the Broker and worked for the Builder, they would have to remove their license from active status and could not practice Real Estate. It's really critical for buyers to now the difference of who represents who and to undersand a licensed Real Estate Agent and/or Broker represented the Buyer in the transaction, and not the builder. But most, like myself, have had plenty of experience working with builders and can help the buyers every single step of the way.   

Jeff Dowler - it is unfortunate when a prospective buyer goes to the Builder first to talk to the sales person who works for the Builder and the buyer assumes both are representing the buyer. It simply isn't true. You're right, most (if not all) don't realize how critical it is to have a licensed Real Estate Agent represent them, in the purchase of new construction. 

You can be sure, if anyone I know wants to move to Carlsbad, CA, I would refer them to you. 

Luke Acree - Excellent niche! Though it's very time consuming, it's worth it to know that the buyer is being treated fairly. 

Michael Jacobs - Your message means a lot to me. Thank you.

Believe me when I say, if any buyers are asking me for a referral for Pasadena, CA, I would gladly refer you, and only you. 

Hi, MeLisa Minter, Realtor Better Homes and Gardens - I have to say, until now, I never heard of Taylor Lake Village, TX but took the time to look it up. It was a pleasure and good news to read this:

"City of Taylor Lake Village has completed Hurricane Harvey Debris removal." 

It's good to meet you here on ActiveRain and learn that Taylor Lake Village in the greater Houston area has made a lot of progress. You can count on me to keep your information on file if anyone wants to move to your area. 

Absolutely and I will do the same for you.  I grew up in Dallas and just recently relocated here.  Taylor Lake Village is only a few miles from NASA Space Center in Houston and about a 30 minute drive to Galveston, Tx.  Our mail goes to Seabrook, Texas but our addresses can say either Taylor Lake Village or Seabrook, Tx.  Confusing right?  LOL!

Brenda Whitman, Live in Laramie Real Estate - LOL about the name of the City I live in. The Town of Flower Mound has been around since the 1960's. 

Coming from Laramie, WY where there are Native American Indian Reservations, I can understand why you feel the way you do. You can be sure, if anyone asks me whether or not I know a Real Estate Agent or Broker from your area that I'll be referring them to you!

Dick Greenberg - Thank you! It's so easy for a prospective buyer to get all wrapped up in the excitement of a new home and not even know or understand all that's involved in new construction. That's the danger of just talking to the builder's rep and not hiring a licensed Agent to represent them. So many problems come up during new construction. Only someone with experience would understand and that is definitely why I highly recommend you for buyers looking to buy in and around beautiful Fort Collins, CO.

Sheila Anderson - Thank you, so much!

May everything you are wishing for come your way. I'm cheering for your!

Curtis Van Carter - I'll continue to check in with you and Jim Cheney too. May you be safe. 

Kat Palmiotti - Good point! I always recommend a home inspection for new construction and I have never had a buyer disagree. People will sleep better too knowing their home has passed inspections!

Betsy N. Robinson - Serving the Sandhills, NC 

Good for you! If I remember correctly you have a niche. May you have many more successful sales. I am wishing you all the best!

Richie Alan Naggar - I have to admit, every time I represent a buyer with new construction, I'm learning something new. It's like getting continuing education. It's also great to see how how provide customer service to both buyer and their agent!

I wish you many more successful new construction sales.

MaryBeth Mills Muldowney - There certainly are a lot of moving parts. It's fun, educational, and we're developing new relationship building. Keeping track of deadlines, crossing our dots and t's is always a challenge. Time and time again, it proves to be time well spent. Isn't it funny how success is always contingent on excellent communication skills!

May you always be successful and never stop learning!
