How can Realtors Help with New Home Construction?
You might be asking how can a Realtor help with a new home construction when you could work with the builder directly? Good question and it is certainly possible to work with the Builder yourself but Realtors can add a lot of value to the process.
Negotiating
A Realtor is experienced in negotiating with Builders and knows how to get the best deal and upgrades for their Buyer.
Construction Walkthroughs
Most Realtors are familiar with construction and can assist when walking through a partially built home. They may bring to your attention items that need to be addressed, changed or added where as the Builder may not.
Builder Feedback & Ratings
A Realtor may be able to assist with selecting a reputable Builder and may know the inside scope on them in terms of negotiating ability, build quality & issues, ratings, history, etc.
Contract Assistance
Realtors know sales contracts and can assist with the contract review as the sale contracts are typically written on the Builders paper and may be biased to them.
Upgrade Choices Help
Realtors may assist with the selecting of and negotiating of upgrades that will add value to the home.
Most Builders Pay a Commission
Most all Builders pay a commission to a Realtor and it's worked into their profit margins. If a Buyer doesn't bring their Realtor in with them on the new build then Builders typically won't discount the house by the amount of the commission.
Home Inspection Help
If the new home is a spec home or already built then Realtors can assist with an inspection walkthrough which is usually recommended to do even with a brand new home.
