CALLING ALL HOME BUYERS - - - It's that time of year again! 'Tis the wonderful season when home builders seek to close out existing inventories and models, They offer incredible buyer incentives, reflected either as a sales price reduction on the new home of your choice, material upgrades, and/or closing costs paid by the builder. Indeed, this is the best time to purchase a new subdivision home.
HOWEVER, just a word of warning to the wise...don't go into a home purchase unrepresented by a professional! You see, that helpful and friendly on-site sales representative is an agent of the builder. His or her loyalty and duty is to the builder, not to the buyer. Their job is to get the best deal they can for their client, thereby producing the greatest net dollar amount possible to the builder. They will not freely offer up options to protect you, the buyer, as it costs their client money. There are things you need to demand at the time of contract negotiations, for your own protection. Some things will save you money when you are ready to resell the house, but you must get them up front. Oddly enough, many people still believe that if they purchase a home without a Realtor, somehow the commission will be credited back to the in the transaction. This couldn't be further from the truth. The Realtor's commission is built into the price of the house as the cost of doing business and, if not used, remains in the builder's pocket. So why not benefit from professional advice and representation since it costs the buyer nothing? My buyers also benefit from many other services I provide, like annual equity reviews, property tax protest assistance, referrals to contractors/service providers, and more.
If I may be of assistance in a new home purchase for your or someone you know, I can be reached at 512-767-5733. Let's get moving together!
