Do You Need a REALTOR When Buying New Construction?

Yes, and it's one of the most overlooked steps buyers make. The builder's on-site sales agent works for the builder, so having your own REALTOR gives you an advocate.

The Builder's Rep Represents the Builder

The friendly agent in the model home is paid by the builder to protect the builder's interests. You deserve your own representation on the other side of the table.

How Your Agent Helps

Your REALTOR can help you compare communities, negotiate price and upgrades, review the builder's contract, coordinate inspections, and keep the process on track.

Usually at No Cost to You

In most new-construction transactions, the builder accounts for buyer's agent representation, so having your own agent typically doesn't add to your cost.

Register With Me First

One key tip: have your agent register you on your first visit to a builder. Reach out before you tour, and I'll make sure you're represented from day one.
