So you have decided to get a new construction home and now you're wondering whether to hire a Realtor or not. You do need a Realtor, though not now. Searching for a new Home Community You can search online for the communities in your neighborhood that are building new homes...and there wont be many..since you are purchasing a new home or new home construction, you actually don't need a Realtor at that point.
Visit the particular home sites Go to the sales middle of these new home communities and get info on floor plans and lot sizes and so on. At about that point, if they ask you whether or not you are working with a Realtor, say YES. But do not give out any names at about that point. Finish the community and floor plan Go thru all of the floor plans a community is offering and make your call. Always go to a real home of the floor plan to get the very finest concept.
Also if your community has not got a home you're searching for, see whether that builder is building another communities close by. They could have a place with the floor plan you're on the lookout for. Look for a Realtor So you have selected the community you wish to live in and the floor plan you want to see in your home. Now's the time to have a look for a Realtor, but make them aware that you have recently selected everything and they actually do not have much work to do, so they have to give you a piece of the Realtor commission.
They need to be willing to offer you at least half of what they'll make for the sale. Search around and get the finest deal. In this fashion, the Realtor gets free cash and so do you. Realtor can still help although you have done all of the work of selecting the home, the Realtor can still help in selecting the plot, picking the upgrades, negotiating the deal for example.
Also, most critical, do not let the Realtor attempt to change your opinion in any fashion.Let him / her know that your call is last and also point out that you are going to not increase your position for whatever reason. The Realtor will attempt to move you to a builder that pays them more commission.
