Today I’m going to be giving you advice when you set out to buy a new home in Buck’s County. It’s a little different than when you purchase a resale home, so listen up.
I’ve worked with a lot of builders around town, so I’m going to dispel some myths. One thing that you must do is hire a Realtor when you’re working with a builder. The builder will have their own sales associates, but these people are working in the interests of the builder, and not you. A Realtor will negotiate to get you a fair deal from the builder, and may even be able to get you free upgrades.
Construction companies usually value my input as a Realtor, and I work fairly closely with builders in this respect. Companies will usually give a Realtor a part of the commission when they help them to find a buyer, so I always recommend pairing with an agent to buy a home. The builder pays the agent’s commission, not you!
Another thing I recommend is getting a home inspection done on a newly constructed property. You might think the home will be perfect, but you would be surprised. I’ve seen mold in brand new homes, so don’t take it for granted that a new home means a perfect home. There can still be problems in a newly-constructed property, and it’s always best to catch them early on in the process.
