Why You Should Use a Buyer’s Agent When
Looking at New Construction
When considering buying a new home from a builder, it is important for you to enlist the services of a buyer’s agent to protect your interests. Builders’ representatives have a fiduciary obligation to get the highest price and best terms for the builder. You need someone who is qualified and knowledgeable working on your side. A buyer’s agent will:
- Research new construction homes, determine their availability and inform you as to the builder’s reputation.
- Show you neighborhoods that provide the most amenities you are seeking.
- Collect information that may enhance your bargaining position.
- Negotiate the best price and terms for you.
- Assist with finance options.
- Review all information communicated by the builder and the builder’s representatives to eliminate uncertainties.
- Advise you as to the various inspections needed to ensure the builder has performed quality workmanship that meets your expectations.
And, again, the best thing is . . . you do not pay a commission for these services!
Remember . . . don’t sign anything without an agent present to represent you!
