Why You Need an Agent With New Construction
New construction can be a challenging situation in home buying. While you get to select your favorite colors and finishes, the path from slick brochure to move-in day can be tricky. Here are some ways an experienced real estate agent can smooth that path, according to Realtor.com®.
- Most agents are familiar with the construction process and can negotiate extras.
- Agents have long-term, solid relationships with trusted lenders. Include (but don't limit yourself to) their recommended lenders in your comparison shopping. The same goes for the builder's preferred lender.
- A real estate professional can oversee home inspections, following up on any remaining punch list items.
Pro Tip: Ask your agent to join you on your first site visit so the builder is aware you won't be using their representative.
