Why You Should Use a Realtor for New Construction Purchase
As a homebuyer, buying a new construction home comes with a ton of perks. You can customize finishes and upgrades to your taste, you won’t have to worry about making upgrades for years to come, and you will be the very first person to live in your home. You might think buying new construction is easier than working with sellers, but not so fast. There may be some roadblocks along the way. Working with The Daniel Boyer Team on a new construction purchase can allow an easy transaction and give you peace of mind.
The Daniel Boyer Team Can Advocate and Stand Up for You
Many buyer’s don’t even realize they can use a Realtor when buying new construction. There is a misconception that if you are buying new construction, you are required to use the builder’s sales agent.
When you don’t work your own Realtor, you are letting the builder’s agent represent you, and the builder’s representative may not be working in your best interest. Having an experienced professional that can advocate and stand up for you throughout the entire transaction is SO important!
You will need your own representation that knows how to ask the right questions. Some questions your we will be able to answer for you are:
What are the benefits of buying new construction over an existing home?
Do you know of any lenders who specialize in new construction mortgages?
What is your experience selling new construction homes?
How familiar are you with the new construction purchase process?
We are confident that in using The Daniel Boyer Team to represent you, we can answer all of these questions for you to allow peace of mind.
The Daniel Boyer Team Can Negotiate on Your Behalf
Buying a home is one of the biggest purchases you’ll ever make, and avoiding extra costs is very possible with the right negotiator. In many cases, builders advertise the base price of their new homes, which is often for the most basic model of the home. It’s likely that the home you see when touring the new homes is not the one you will actually end up in. Models usually include all of upgrades and staging.
However, one of the benefits of buying new construction is customization of the home. The Daniel Boyer Team can negotiate the customizations with the builder on your behalf. This can help ensure you get a fair price for your upgrades and alterations to the floor plan.
The Daniel Boyer Team Can Help with Inspections and Contract Contingencies
Many buyers know they will need an inspection when they purchase an existing home, but did you know an inspection is also required when purchasing new construction?
The Daniel Boyer Team can recommend the right inspections for a new home and show up to all appointments to represent you. Having an experienced Realtor walk through the home to point out things that may go unnoticed during the inspection is very important. They also may notice certain accepts of the home that need a specific inspection. For example, if the new construction home has a septic system, it might be smart to make the purchase contract contingent on an inspection of the septic system to possibly avoid plumbing issues down the road. We know which inspections are necessary on a new construction home and can make sure all are performed before closing.
When it comes to buying new construction, there are a ton of benefits that come with working with an experienced team. The Daniel Boyer Team can save you time, money and stress.
