Experience isn’t expensive it’s crucial. A realtor, who understands the ins and outs of new home purchasing, can work on your behalf to negotiate the deal, free upgrades, or simply whatever is in your best interest. You wouldn’t consider buying an existing home without a Realtor to represent you. Therefore, you should not consider going through the even more stressful and complicated process of building a home without the professional help you need and deserve. It can be very daunting to go through the process of home-building, and dealing with the last minute changes and surprises. Buyers can avoid a lot of surprises with the knowledge and experience of a realtor of their own.
You may not know that the commission for buyer representation is legally part of the purchase price. If you are not using your own Realtor, the builder simply receives an extra 3% from your purchase. It’s free for you to use a Realtor.
