Using an Agent to Purchase a New Home Why should I use an Agent to purchase a new home? The advantages of having «Agents First Name» «Agents Last Name» and «his / her» team help you purchase a new home are the same as those for purchasing a resale home. They can provide you with valuable insight into the market, they will help you find the perfect home quickly, and they provide you with expertise in contract writing, negotiation, and closing assistance. The builder has a professional real estate representative watching out for his/ her interests and you need and deserve the same expert representation watching out for your interests. Buying a new home is a little more difficult and time-consuming than buying a resale. «Team Name» can professionally guide you through this process. Having spent years working with builders, «Agents First Name» has a rapport with them and a database of information about subdivisions, floor plans, etc. «Agents First Name» is also very familiar with new home warranties and builder’s purchase contracts. It is very important that your interests be professionally represented when you are entering into a contract for a semi-custom or a build-to-suit home. These transactions are complex and the contract details must be exact in order to protect you and to ensure you get exactly the home you want! Is there any advantage to not using an Agent to purchase a new home? No. Ther e is no financial advantage for you to buy dir ectly fr om the builder . Builder s have a “singleprice” policy meaning you will be charged the same price whether your interests are represented by an Agent or not. Just as in any resale, the Seller pays your Agent’s fee. Please indicate your affiliation with «Team Name» by presenting your “Guest Pass” to the builder. ~ Remember ~ The builder requires that your Agent accompany you on your first visit to the builder’s sales office or they will not pay your representative’s fee. Give them the “Guest Pass” and have them call the office. www.CallTammy.com * 618-281-3959 * [email protected]
