Buying a newly constructed home is an exciting proposition, but most buyers start the process without the proper preparation, and representation. First, its important to understand that production homes are the most common form of new construction today. Production homes typically offer the best value because of the builder’s ability to control cost through mass production. Building a well designed floor plan based on feedback from buyers helps the builder offer a more appealing product, include the most popular options and provide the best quality. Production builders typically purchase large parcels of land and control the majority of the residential lots available in a particular community. This gives the buyer many different options on where in the community they can choose to build their new home. Having an expert in new home construction to guide you through the numerous choices makes the process much less stressful and time consuming. A critical thing to consider is that the builder has dedicated salespeople on site to represent them. Along with showing you the homes the builder is offering, the salesperson has functions that are designed to benefit the builder:
They try to entice you to buy a home from that builder. They work to sell the home for the highest possible price. Their mission is to protect the interests of the builder. They try to sell you the upgrades that are most profitable to the builder. Second, it’s important to understand that the building process takes time, and a significant amount of buyer involvement is needed. Unlike buying a car where you review your options and then its one decision and you’re done, buying a new construction home involves hundreds of questions and answers, followed by a seemingly endless stream of subsequent decisions. And it happens over time, sometimes a long time. Production builders typically take 5 to 8 months to complete a single home, and are often building homes in new neighborhoods for years. And finally, the quality of new construction can vary greatly, even within the same residential development. An understanding of how to verify the quality of the construction as the home is being built is crucial. These are just a few of the reasons you should have an exclusive buyer’s agent in your corner when you start the process. What We Do
The new construction home buying process can be overwhelming even to the most educated buyers. Purchasing a home is the largest purchase that most people make in their lifetime. Why would you not want to work with an expert advisor that represents your best interest? Did I tell you that working with The New Home Advisors will cost you ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Even though we represent your interest as a Buyer’s Agent, we are paid by the builder. PLEASE UNDERSTAND that the commission the builder pays us has ABSOLUTELY NO IMPACT ON YOUR PURCHASE PRICE. This money comes out of their marketing budget and does not impact what you pay for the home. IT’S AS EASY AS 1… 2… 3…
1.Kickoff Meeting: This is where we get to know you, find out what is MOST important to you like: timeframe, area, budget, home type, floor plans, schools, etc…
2.The Search: We start looking at each and every opportunity for you based on the criteria that you gave us. We present only relevant options to you, saving you countless hours of searching and headaches.
3.Home Preview: Once you have identified what community or communities that interest you we take you out to tour and REGISTER you with the builder or builders that we visit. It is VERY important that we REGISTER you with the builder BEFORE you visit them for the FIRST time. This insures that the builder will allow us to represent you. If you go visit a builder BEFORE we register you, then you will be forced to work with the builder representative, which works on the builder’s behalf and NOT yours.
