    Buying New Construction

    When you're exploring communities looking for new construction homes, having an experienced Realtor® on your team is vital. Here are some compelling reasons why you always want to be represented by your own Realtor® when negotiating with a Builder:

    I'm not sure if you ever thought about it, but when you walk into a Builder's model home and are greeted by the salesperson, it's important to remember they work for the Builder and have the Builder's best interest in mind, NOT YOURS! Do you really think that salesperson is going to fight to get you the lowest price possible and the best terms and incentives? Also, that salesperson working for the Builder makes an extra commission if you don't utilize a Realtor®. The odds are definitely not stacked in your favor!

    But the great news is that when you work with me, I bring years of experience as a Buyer's Agent in new construction and there is never a fee to you for my services. The Builder pays my commission! You get the best of both worlds.

    Don't BUY WITHOUT Representation, here are some examples why:

    1) Buyers of new construction in a neighborhood aren't happy when they find out that their neighbor next door paid thousands less, or received extra closing costs, design center credits or even special upgrades. Why? Because in most cases your neighbor used a Realtor® who was experienced in new construction and understands how and where a Builder will negotiate on price and incentives.

    2) Have you ever read a Builder's contract? Most are 20, 30 and I've seen them as long as 75+ pages. Are you really going to read every page and understand what you are signing? Honestly, if you don't, you could be exposing yourself to major liabilities, loss of your escrow deposit, or even allow the Builder up to 24 months to complete your home...even though the salesperson told you it should only take 3-5 months.

    3) When negotiating price with a Builder, it's critical to pull recent sales from the MLS and public records to directly use in the negotiation. Unfortunately, as a consumer, you don't have direct access to this information. 

    4) Other factors which can allow for greater success in negotiations include understanding to-be-built homes vs. inventory homes, lender and closing cost incentives, design center credits and pitfalls, unseen and undisclosed costs and fees, etc.

    Do you need a Realtor® when buying a brand new home from a builder? ABSOLUTELY! 

    Finding you a new home that meets your family's needs and matches your budget will be my #1 priority. Gain an advantage when negotiating new construction anywhere in the Central Florida market by using Rock Springs Realty as your Realtor®.
