Reasons to Use a Buyer’s Agent When Purchasing New Construction

June 19, 2015 by admin Leave a Comment

There is a common misconception out there that you don’t need a buyers agent when purchasing a new construction home. When you pull up to a construction site and go in to look at the onsite model home/ office the agent working for the builders will give the impression that they can handle everything for you on the purchase. This subjects buyers to “dual agency” or using a real estate agent that is working for both the buyer and seller.Reasons to Use a Buyer's Agent When Purchasing New Construction

The agent onsite is contracted by the builder to uphold the best interests of the builder. They have signed paper work committing themselves to the benefit of the builder. They by law cannot work to negotiate on the buyer’s behalf against the builder. You will find that if you bring your own agent to a new construction site the builder’s agent is okay with that and may even welcome it.

Here are some reasons why it is in a buyer’s best interest to bring their own buyers agent when purchasing new construction:

-Site agents want to sell homes for the builder and quickly not check in to see how a new home owner is doing after the close

-It is easier for site agents to speak with experienced agents than buyers

-Buyers agents are more open to any questions buyers have and have more time to get answers

-An experienced agent knows how to ask the buyer what they need and want in a home and what price they can affordReasons to Use a Buyer's Agent When Purchasing New Construction

-A buyers agent experienced in dealing with new construction deals will know how to negotiate to get you the best price/terms/warranty possible. They know how builders work and the right questions to ask and negotiations to make.

-A good buyer’s agent will take the time to go over the contract in detail and explain everything you are about to agree to with your best interest in mind

-Buyer’s agents will give advice when something in the contract comes up that may not be beneficial to the buying party and can advise on how to remedy it

-A buyer’s agent knows the current market and what comparable prices of other new construction homes in the area are to get you an even better price

-You don’t have to pay the listing price on a new construction home buyer’s agents know this and can save you thousands by negotiating on your behalf

When purchasing a home it is always beneficial to bring an experienced buyer’s agent with you to get you the best price possible on a home that fits your lifestyle. For more information on Sunset Beach NC real estate browse our website or contact us anytime.

“Life will lead you to where you belong. Five years ago life led me to meeting Karen Baker at an Open House. Our relationship continues as Karen and her husband Frank have been outstanding not only in helping my husband and I find the right retirement relocation home, but we have watched their commitment in helping many others find their homes. She and Frank treat every client as if they are the only ones that exist. They provide thorough research of areas and homes of interest and present you with the options. They are not your typical hard sell, must-buy-now realtors. They are here to help you find your next home?. You won’t go wrong with the Bakers!

“The Bakers treated us like family during our whirlwind weekend of looking at houses. Prior to our on-site visit to Sunset Beach they created a portal and populated it with properties that met our ever-evolving criteria. By time we arrived we had a good feel for what we could afford and what was available that met our criteria. The Bakers, especially Karen, were able to make sense of what we thought we were looking for and eventually matched us with a house that we ended up purchasing — Karen called it the “This is it” house and she was right. We are loving our 2nd home and appreciate how painless Karen and Frank made the process. All the paperwork was done seamlessly and quickly and the closing went off without a hitch. The Bakers do not believe in the hard sell — they gave us the knowledge we needed and the guidance we needed to make our dream a reality.”

Amy and I have bought and sold four properties in the past twelve years. Both of you are the best realtors we have ever dealt with. Amy and I both felt we could trust you to look out for our interest. The level of service you provided was outstanding, from taking the trash out, helping the buyer with inspecting the irrigation system, dealing with our tenants, always being there if we needed to ask a question, providing constant updates on the market and always keeping us informed on the sale of our house. I think your next venture should be training other realtors, because both of you have mastered the art of providing excellent service. I will be sure to recommend the Frank and Karen team to anybody looking for a trust worthy, knowledgeable and top performing realtor. It was a pleasure working with both of you.”
