Before You Sign on the Dotted Line
Building your Florida dream home is an exciting prospect and should be a memorable experience – in a good way. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the stunning model homes, smiling sales people, lot selections and floorplan options, and accidentally overlook your best interests in what is a sizable financial investment.
The very best investment you can make (and it costs you exactly zero dollars) toward having a great experience and the best possible outcome in new construction is having an experienced buyer’s agent on your team. Many people don’t realize that builders welcome, and even encourage having a Realtor of your own representing you.
Remember, the agents at the sales office are employed by the builder and have fiduciary responsibilities TO THEM. You need someone that will work FOR YOU. Having an exclusive agent by your side throughout the process reduces the risks and adds a professional eye so you never feel taken advantage of during your new construction transaction. The builder pays the buyer’s agent’s fee, so hiring professional help here is kind of a no-brainer.
