Most people recognize the value in using a real estate agent when buying a resale property. The buyer knows that the seller is represented by the listing agent. As a result, the buyer will generally employ their own realtor to represent them throughout the buying process. When it comes to buying new construction, however, most people feel they don’t need a realtor.
Most buyers don’t realize that using a realtor when buying new construction is every bit as important as using a realtor for buying a resale property. Their thought is that between the Central Sales Office representative and the builder’s representative, they don’t need a realtor. But the salesperson from the Central Sales Office represents the developer. The representative for the builder represents the builder. Who’s representing the buyer’s interests? No one, unless the buyer is using a realtor!
Too many buyers feel that a realtor is unnecessary when buying new construction. Their impression is that the realtor does nothing more than introduce the buyer to the development or builder’s sales representative, then walk away with a generous commission check. Unfortunately, there is some truth to this criticism. There are some realtors who do just that. That’s why it’s important to choose the right realtor! You should choose someone who will be YOUR representative throughout the buying and building process.
