This country has a bit of a love affair with new construction homes. The past few years have been marked by a construction boom of unmeasurable proportions. All across the country developments are springing up in any available space that developers can find and cities and towns are expanding at a rapid rate. With all the construction that is happening people assume that they should be able to get themselves a great deal on a new home without utilizing any sort of representation. Sometimes this is the case but on the average those who utilize the skills of a realtor to purchase their new construction home get better deals and are happier with their purchase when everything is said and done.
There are some unique concerns that should be considered when purchasing a new construction home.
The first thing that needs to be considered is the reputation of the builder. Local Realtors usually have the inside scoop on which builders operating in their area are reputable and which ones are not. Recent years have seen a huge number of sub-par homes being built and many new home owners have found themselves with a home that is fraught with problems. This is something that could have been avoided by the use of a Realtor. A Realtor is also a trained home professional and they know what to look for in homes and what they don't know can easily be handled by a professional inspector. Buying a home from a developer or builder is just the same as buying from another person and a buyer's interests are best represented by a experienced Realtor. Realtors are simply skilled in the purchase of homes. The same paperwork and title concerns apply to a new construction home as they do to an established home so why would you not engage the services of someone who knows how to deal with these things? If you want the process of purchasing a new construction home to be as streamlined and stress free as possible then it just makes sense to hire a Realtor to protect your interests. You deserve the best possible deal when purchasing a home and a experienced and professional Realtor is the one who can ensure that you get it.
