Buying a house from a builder seems simple -- you show up, sign in, view the model, pick out your lot and upgrades, and sign. “Why do I need an agent for that?” I hear you asking... Read on, my friend.
So far, we’ve talked in Parts 1 and 2 about how an agent can help you review, and will draw your attention to, anomalies in the builder’s agreement and how he or she can help you save money by helping you avoid fees and costs that aren’t typically paid by a buyer in our area. In Part 3 we’re going to talk about the biggest reason to hire an agent to help you -- their services will save you money and, for you, they are free!
This was not the case in the raging real estate market of the mid-2000’s but, at this point, every builder selling homes in Dublin Ranch will compensate your agent for bringing you to their development. They are doing this for one reason only -- they need help getting their homes sold; they no longer have the seller’s market advantage and that’s good news for you.
