The Builder Has Representation. You Should Too.

The sales consultant at the model home works for the builder.

As your Realtor, my role is different.

I help you evaluate the property and transaction from your perspective.

And in many builder transactions, buyers can have their own Realtor representation without paying an additional real estate commission directly.

Representation requirements and builder policies can vary, so it is important to involve your Realtor before your first builder visit or registration whenever possible.

How I Help New-Construction Buyers

• Compare builders

• Compare communities

• Evaluate floor plans

• Understand lot options

• Review incentives

• Compare financing offers

• Understand upgrade choices

• Evaluate community fees

• Coordinate inspections

• Attend important milestones when applicable

• Prepare for walkthrough and closing

Builder Incentives Can Be Valuable. Compare the Entire Package

An incentive may sound impressive, but the right question is:

What is the total value of this offer for you?

 

We may compare:

 

• Purchase price

• Interest-rate incentives

• Closing-cost contributions

• Upgrade credits

• Lot premiums

• Preferred lender requirements

• Monthly payment

• Long-term financial impact

Choosing the Right Lot

The floor plan is only part of the decision.

The location of the homesite can affect:

 

• Privacy

• Traffic

• Views

• Outdoor space

• Noise

• Sun exposure

• Future construction nearby

• Potential resale appeal

• Lot premiums
