Did You Know a REALTOR® Can Help You With a New Build Purchase?

If you want someone to be looking out for your best interest, you can hire a REALTOR® (at no charge!) to help you through the process. It’s VERY IMPORTANT to ensure you have your REALTOR® with you during your very first visit with any builder. If you do not have your agent present or have them pre-register you, it’s likely they won’t be able to represent you and watch out for your best interests.

I can assist with many things that get overlooked when it comes to building.

I help you see the entire picture. What you see isn’t always what you get with a builder. The model seen isn’t often the base price of 400k being advertised, it’s 500k because of all the upgrades. Granite countertops, upgraded appliances, high end flooring, are all usually upgrades which add up. Lot location has an impact on resale value. Builders often downplay this and tell clients it doesn’t matter, but it absolutely does and we can assist with choosing the right location.
Get everything in writing. Any concessions or guarantees provided by the builder needs be confirmed in writing. I ensure all the terms agreed upon are included in the contract.
Builder Prices. There are a lot of things that go into how a builder puts a sale price on their product: location, lot, size of home, building materials, labour costs, etc. Builders don’t like to reduce their prices. If they do, it can set a precedent for future home sales. They are more likely to pay for closing costs or offer design centre incentives than to drop their price. Builders are not like regular sellers as they are not emotionally attached to the property. So, while we cannot always help you negotiate a better price, we can help you make sure the price you are paying is not overvalued.

These are just a few of the things I assist you with when buying a new build home. The most important thing for you to remember is to have me join you on your very first visit and I can help take care of the rest!
