Before you do a search for new construction, here are a few reasons why you need a Realtor when purchasing new construction. 

 
  • Cost

NOTHING!  Any compensation given to Realtor® is recognized by the builder as a marketing fee and has no impact on the final cost of the home.  Most reputable Builders desire, expect and encourage Realtor® participation. 

 

  • Representation

On site sales representatives are not licensed by the Texas Real Estate Commission and do not belong to the National Association of Realtors and therefore do not have to comply with the Code of Ethics that licensed Realtors do.  In addition, the on-site builder's representative in the subdivision represents the builder not the buyer (YOU).  Builders often create their own versions of the sales contracts.  They potentially may leave out many of the consumer protections afforded you by the State of Texas Realtor® contracts and, because of this, it is in your best interest to have a trained agent review the builders' documents before you sign.

 

With me as your real estate agent, YOU are represented!  My  experience, knowledge, and reputation represent strength and leverage on your behalf. 

  • Savings

Are you getting what you're entitled to have ... both in quality and value? As an experienced agent, I know what you should receive and what “extras” might be available. 

 

  • Resale, Appreciation & Profit

Give your investment the best opportunity for appreciation at resale.  Questions concerning site location, builder, design and decor are important. I know you are building not only for today ... but for tomorrow.

 

If you choose to purchase new construction, I will represent your interests alone and will not get paid by the builder until your house is complete and the entire transaction has closed to your satisfaction.  I work with builders on a regular basis and can do all the research necessary to make wise buying decisions.

 

Please keep in mind, however, most builders insist that buyers be accompanied by their Realtor® on their first visit in order to compensate the agent.  (If it’s the builder’s marketing (signs, advertisements, television commercials, etc.) that brought you in their door, they do not want to pay the Realtor’s commission – if it’s a Realtor who brings their buyers (and thereby business) to the builder, they are more than happy to pay the commission.)  

 

Please let me know if I can be of assistance in this process.
