Q: Do I need to hire a real estate agent to represent me when I buy a new home from a builder?

A: Legally, no. But if you don’t, you might be missing out on some tangible benefits that impact your wallet and how much you get for your money.

There are many reasons why an agent is a sound investment during the purchase process with a builder. While some of them can be quite complex (and go beyond the scope of this blog post), here are a few highlights:

Market Value Compared to Purchase Price: How much money are you going to be able to come out of pocket for your down payment? If you don’t want a nasty surprise when it comes to disparities between your agreed upon purchase price and the actual market value of the home, you’ll want an agent with access to information which will help you accurately assess the true value of that brand new home.

Negotiation Power: Real estate agents are professional negotiators, and often an agent can get more from a builder than you would on your own. While some of this might be related to purchase price, other perks may include property or home upgrades.

Financing: It’s probably no surprise that your builder will have preferred financing partners to work with. Many of those “partners” pay good money for the opportunity to handle your loan. But is it the best loan at the best rate? An agent can be both a sounding board for financing terms and a source for trusted alternatives.

Contract Expertise: While your real estate agent isn’t an attorney, they know a great deal about the ins-and-outs of property contracts. This includes builder’s contracts, which may have provisions that put you in dicey territory should something unforeseen happen. Protect yourself with an agent.

These four reasons are a good place to start, but there are plenty more. The bottom line is: The builder will have their own system in place to maximize their profit and minimize their costs. Shouldn’t you?

We're more than happy to help you buy from a builder!

Buying or selling a home can be a little overwhelming once you put together your own “to do” list of task to get ready for the process. From curb appeal to loan approval, both buyers and sellers can get the feeling that managing their regular lives on top of their real estate project can be overwhelming.

While I make every effort to help my clients experience a stress-free real estate transaction (including tracking milestone dates every step of the way!), there are those who often benefit from a little help keeping themselves organized.

One handy tool I’ve discovered for personal reminders, scheduling emails to be sent later, and reminders to follow-up with people is called Boomerang:

http://www.boomerang.com

Designed for Gmail, Outlook, and mobile platforms, Boomerang gives you a set of powerful tools you can use:

Send an email later

With Boomerang, you can write an email now and schedule it to be sent automatically at the perfect time. Just write the message as you normally would, then click the Send Later button.

Follow-up reminders

Use Boomerang to take messages out of your inbox until you actually need them. Just click the Boomerang button when you have an email open, and choose when you need it again. Boomerang will archive the message and back to your inbox, marked unread, starred, or even at the top of your message list.

Remind you if you don't hear back

There are times you need to make sure you follow up within a specific time frame after sending a message. You can select to only be reminded if nobody replies, or regardless.

There are tons of tools out there to be more productive, and I’m always looking for ways to help my clients improve not just their real estate deal, but their lives! I hope you find this helpful, and if you ever need a little assistance buying or selling your home, contact me!
