Why Work With a Realtor When Buying New Construction
Many buyers are surprised to learn that working with a Realtor when buying a new construction home usually costs them nothing, but can make a big difference in the process. The builder’s sales representative works for the builder, while a Realtor works for you and represents your best interests throughout the purchase.
A Realtor can help you compare different builders, understand lot premiums, review builder contracts, and make sure you understand what is included and what may be considered an upgrade. With new construction, it is also important to understand timelines, deposit structure, warranty coverage, and resale value, especially in a growing community like Livingston where there are many stages of development.
Another advantage is having someone help you compare a new build to resale homes in the same price range. Sometimes a resale home may offer landscaping, window coverings, and a finished basement, while a new build offers customization and modern layouts. Having guidance through these decisions is helpfull, and your realtor can assist with negotiations on extras.
