Why use a Real Estate agent when buying a New Home.
September 26th, 2007When a buyer walks into a new home track the first thing that happens is you are greeted by a floor person. They will show you the floor plans, building sites and the models. When you make your decision of what model you would like, you will sit down talk with the floor person and talk about what upgrades you would like to have. Such as tile floors, upgraded carpet, appliances, blinds,fireplace, cabinets, ect.. The upgrades could come up to exceed 10’s of thousand dollars. Far as your closing cost they can be as high as 3%. On a $300,000 home that is $9,000.00. You now have made all of your choices and getting ready to sign your contracts. STOP! Ask yourself who is writing the floor person check each week? Who’s best interest is the floor person looking out for ? Yours or his employer? If that floor person gives you a great deal will they have a job next week? If you are being represented by a licensed Real Estate agent they will be looking out for your best interest only! They will find out the incentives the builder is offering. With the abundance of new home here in Las Vegas and builders wanting to move product we are getting a big portion our buyers upgrades paid for by the developer and their closing cost. We have seen as much as $100,000 in incentives. With using a licensed Real Estate agent they can do all the foot work for you. No driving for hours trying to find out your in the wrong subdivision.
