WE ARE PROUD TO CALL OURSELVES NEW HOMES CONSULTANTS.
Some important tips when buying a New Home
Sales agents at Model Centers work for builders and represent their interests. They are usually commissioned employees who get paid from the builders’ marketing budget when they sell a house to you. Whereas we work as your agents, looking out for your interests, without seeking any compensation from you. The allocated marketing dollars are then split between their sales agents and us.
Base prices of new homes are preset for a specific caliber of homeowners. These prices are sustained, without any changes, for market stability and customer fairness. Therefore, you will NOT get any additional price discounts for NOT using a Realtor.
Top Producing Realtors, who work with builders regularly, know their negotiating tactics and limitations for allowances. These Realtors know what the builders will and won’t do to sell a home.
We have worked with most major builders in the tri county area. We know the local builders’ reputations, their quality of work, and what it takes to get things done before and after closing.
Builders sell majority of their new homes through Realtors. They pay extra attention to the buyers we bring to them to ensure we will continue to bring more buyers to their development.
Builders are more apt to grant special favors to realtors with whom they transact frequent sales.
We advise you of the upgrades you should put in the house to preserve and enhance its resale value. We help you with selections at the design center. There are lots of little details you need to take care of when building a new home.
We are on all builders’ inventory mailing lists and know of all the “special properties” builders are ready to sell at a discounted price. We constantly keep in touch with builders to learn about new developments, and can obtain detailed information quickly on any property or neighborhood.
Realtors know the best times to purchase a home in new developments. Although builders do not normally adjust prices, there are times when adjustments are made and free options offered as marketing promotions.
We have access to resale price comparisons within new neighborhoods. This enables us to prevent new homebuyers from over-improving a home for that particular neighborhood.
We help you with financing and shopping around for mortgages and obtaining best possible rates. We make sure that your whole process of home building goes smoothly.
