BEFORE YOU BUY FROM A BUILDER!
MYTH 1 - I CAN SAVE MONEY BUYING A NEW HOME FROM A NEW HOME BUILDER WITHOUT AN AGENT!
FALSE There are no discounts given to an unrepresented buyers. All options & closing cost credits are established in advance for all purchases. It would be discrimination to penalize a buyer by a higher price because of buyer agent representation.
MYTH 2 - PRICES ARE ALREADY ESTABLISHED, THERE IS NOTHING TO NEGOTIATE, THERE IS NOTHING AN AGENT CAN DO FOR ME!
FALSE Depending on the market, not all prices are established. Agents are still able to arrange flexible terms for earnest money deposits, as well as pointing out to Builders and Buyers areas in the contract for negotiation.
MYTH 3 - I DON'T LOSE BY NOT HAVING AN AGENT.
FALSE In fact, you can lose your earnest money under certain circumstances & suffer consequences of not adding IMPORTANT resale features, not complying with time sensitive conditions in the contract and a misunderstanding of the Home Owner Documents provided at the time of contract signing which provide a contingency in the contract.
MYTH 4 - AGENT REPRESENTATION COST ME EXTRA MONEY AND INCONVENIENCE.
FALSE When in fact, nothing can be further from the truth. It is all benefit and no cost.
MYTH 5 - I DO NOT NEED ADVICE, EVEN THOUGH I AM MAKING THE BIGGEST PURCHASE OF MY LIFE, I HAVE READ LOTS OF ARTICLES OR I HAVE PURCHASED A HOME THRU A BUILDER BEFORE.
FALSE So untrue! Each buying experience is different with varying factors to be considered which may be: a more expensive home, new & different financing options, builder reputations, location factors, features expected for this price range even though I don't need it, etc. You really dont know what you need to be aware of until not knowing it becomes a problem. You should always have someone working in your best interests in the purchase of any home.
MYTH 6 - THE PERSON AT THE BUILDER SITE WORKS FOR BOTH OF US. THEY MAKE SURE I DONT MAKE ANY MISTAKES!
FALSE The site representative is either an agent/representative for the seller/builder or the builder's employee. Now who do you think they REALLY work for?
WITHOUT A BUYERS AGENT
YOU HAVE NO REPRESENTATION!
LET MY EXPERIENCE WORK FOR YOU!

THE RIGHT REAL ESTATE AGENT
 People don't talk about it a lot. But finding the right real estate agent can be the difference between a happy, stress-free home buying or selling experience, and an unhappy, stressful experience.
First, you'll want an agent ready and able to make a full-time commitment to you. I can and will do that. Discriminating clients expect a higher level of quality and professionalism.
Second, you'll want an agent with the experience needed to know the local neighborhoods, schools, market conditions, and know the importance of confidentiality. With my years of experience in the local market - I have the expertise and track record of success you need.
