Why Use A Realtor® When Buying New Construction?

Why Use A Realtor® When Buying A New Construction Home?
I have been asked the following questions a few times over the last 7 years of my real estate career. “I’m buying a new construction home from a builder so why do I need the services of a professional real estate agent”?
Below are a few of the many reasons why you should be represented by a realtor when purchasing a new construction home from the builder.
  1. If you hire me as your realtor to purchase a home it will not cost you a dime. My fee is paid for by the seller which in the case of new construction is the builder.
  2. I have successfully negotiated 30k-50k off the price of  new construction homes with builders for my clients.
  3. Remember that the friendly sales representative at the builders model home works for the builder and not you. They are paid by the builder and the more expensive home you buy means more commission for them.
  4. As your buyers representative I represent you and not the builder. I can show you homes by any builder and I only get paid when you find the house of your dreams. Also as stated before, you don’t pay for my services the builder or seller does.
  5. Some buyers think they will save money going to a builder unrepresented and that the builder will discount the house more because they are not using a realtor. This is not true, most of the time the money used to pay for your realtor comes out of the builders account at corporate level and not by subdivision. So if a builders rep tells you they will give you money off because you are unrepresented ask them for this in writing as many times it’s simply not true.
  6. Going to a builder unrepresented is like being the plaintiff in a lawsuit and having the same attorney as the defendant. Not a good idea.
