The value of a real estate agent in buying new construction

Don’t let the pristine facade or shiny appliances of a model home deceive you: Buying new construction will be as complex as any old real estate transaction, if not more so, plus you’ll need to navigate the fine print of builder-friendly contracts, resist the temptation of fancy upgrades and trust that a bunch of blocks and concrete may not become a suitable place when you want to.

On-site agents can be a good resource in the new construction process however they work in the developer’s best interests, not yours, and at the end of the day, they will prioritize the builder’s interests over yours. 

As pre-construction real estate agents, our team has first access to most new developments before they are released to the general public. This gives you a competitive edge and complete advantage over other prospective buyers, with the opportunity to secure your unit quicker and potentially for a lower price.

With guidance from our team, you will know everything about the unit, building, and area you are investing in. For example, if there is another development planned for the area that could obstruct your new view, the on-site agent may not disclose that to you. Our team, on the other hand, has access to those planned developments and will ensure that you are well aware of them.

Without an agent or attorney representation, you could inadvertently agree to some not so good for you terms.
