Why You Need a REALTOR®'S Representation When You Build
Would you enter a courtroom without legal representation? Would you invest $1,000,000 without the assistance of a financial advisor? Operate on yourself? Then maybe you should think again before you invest in what will probably be the most expensive purchase you ever make without the services of a REALTOR®.
Cost to You
Nothing! Any compensation given to REALTORS® is recognized by the builder as a marketing fee and has no impact on the final cost of the home. Builders desire, expect and encourage REALTOR® participation.
Savings to You
Are you getting what you're entitled to have...both in quality and value? An experienced REALTOR® knows what you should receive and what "extras" might be available.
Resale
Give your investment the best opportunity for appreciation at resale. Questions concerning site location, builder, design and decor are important and can affect the resale value of your home in the future. You are building not only for today...but for tomorrow.
Representation
A REALTOR®'S experience, knowledge, and reputation represent strength and leverage on your behalf.
Professional Knowledge
There is more to a builder than good advertising or the sales staff in the beautiful model home. What is the reputation of the builder? Does the builder allow customized changes and at what cost? A knowledgeable REALTOR® has insight into these and many more concerns.
Time & Stress
Allowing your REALTOR® to monitor the building process can alleviate stress and save you time.
Builder Incentives
Do the incentives, discounts and special financing of the builder work the best for you? A REALTOR® can suggest alternatives for comparison.
Builder Obligations
A REALTOR® knows what a builder should, could and must do.
Whether you will be building a custom home, or a production home, be sure to let your builder know from the start that you will be relying on the help and knowledge of a real estate professional.
