Here are a few tips for those considering buying new construction.
Today, we’re delving into the exciting realm of buying new construction homes. As we kick off our spring parade, builders are showcasing their finest creations, presenting many options across different price ranges. This spring parade is the perfect opportunity for prospective buyers to explore the offerings of various builders. With each builder featuring unique options and price points, it’s a fun and informative experience to survey the landscape and discover the perfect fit for your needs.
However, as you step into a builder’s model and engage with their representatives, keep in mind that the agent you encounter doesn’t represent you as a buyer. At this initial stage, they hold no fiduciary duties towards you, and there might not be a signed buyer contract. While they provide agency representation, it’s essential to understand that their allegiance lies with the builder, not you.
This prompts a crucial question: Are your best interests being safeguarded? Without a contract with the builder’s agent, the answer is likely no. To ensure you have someone looking out for you, it’s advisable to secure the services of a qualified agent with experience in new construction transactions.
“Buying new construction homes can be both thrilling and complex.”
Finding an agent who has a history of working with builders is key. They can guide you through the intricate process, offering insights into reputable builders and advising against those that may not align with your needs. Given the nuances of the new construction market, having an experienced agent by your side is invaluable.
