When you buy a new construction home, many buyers assume that you must buy directly from the builder.
But having your own buyer’s agent can be a huge asset in any home purchase, including new construction.
A recent article from realtor.com outlined why you should consider working with a buyer’s agent when buying a new construction home, including:
Working with a buyer’s agent can expose you to more options.
When you work with a builder’s agent, they are only going to show you homes within their builder’s portfolio. But if you are not totally sold on a specific home or development, working with a buyer’s agent can help ensure that you are considering other houses and neighborhoods that you might overlook if you are only focused on one builder’s inventory.
Agents can walk you through the process.
Buying a new construction home can be a complex (and sometimes frustrating!) process. When you work with a buyer’s agent—and, more specifically, a buyer’s agent that has experience working with new construction—they can help walk you through each step of the process, making the home purchase smoother and easier to navigate.
Agents can manage communication.
When you are buying a home, there is a lot to be discussed. Rather than trying to manage communications yourself, when you work with a buyer’s agent, they can take the lead on communicating with the builder and coordinating all of the details, which can save you a significant amount of time, energy, and frustration.
