Do you need a Realtor when purchasing a new construction home?
YES, and here is why
-
While the Sales Counselor will be a valuable resource once you’ve chosen a builder, a Realtor can provide you with multiple different communities and builders to choose from based on your unique criteria and situation. An experience new construction Realtor will also be able explain the differences between the construction and operations of each builder, which helps you ensure you are getting the best possible deal and maxing out your savings.
-
Did you know that new construction home builders only post about 10% of their inventory online.? The only way to know ALL of the homes a builder has available is to visit Every. Single. Model Home! A Realtor can do all of this work for you, create a comprehensive list of every community and home available, saving you a lot of time and headache.
-
A Realtor can and should help you negotiate extras. Some builders price their homes with tens of thousands of dollars in wiggle room while others don't have much negotiation ability at all. While each builder is different, a Realtor with new construction expertise understands the different business models, can educate you on the differences and challenges that come with each, and knows how to secure the builders bottom line to ensure you are getting the best deal possible.
-
The Sales Counselor is the builder's employee! It is vital that you hire someone to advocate for your best interest, because at the end of the day that's what the sales counselor will have to do for the builder (their employer). Unfortunately, the sales counselor has no legal obligation to do what's best for you and your pocket book. When you hire a Realtor, they act as your fiduciary and have a legal requirement to do exactly that.
