Do I need a Realtor when buying a New Home from a builder?

  This is one of the most common questions in today’s recovering housing market. Truth is that the Phoenix, Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek and Mesa housing markets still have lower inventory than the historical average. While inventory is increasing monthly, many consumers are still pursuing new homes from large and custom home builders such as Taylor Morrison, KB, Fulton, Toll Brothers, Ashton Woods, Maracay, Standard Pacific and Blandford Homes. What many people do not realize is that the agent in these “New Build” sales offices ONLY represent the builder and their interests. Which leads me to these important questions:

• “How do you know if you actually got the “Best Deal” when the only real estate representative involved works in the builder’s best interest?”
• “Did you know you could lose your earnest money ?”
• “Did you know you could be stuck with a home even if it does not appraise ?” (Lose your earnest money)
• “Do you know how to protect yourself from financial loss and/or unwarranted expenses ?”
• “Do I need to sell my home before I buy a “New Build” home ?” (What are my options ?)

Buying a home is one of the most expensive purchases you will make so it is important to protect yourself against short and long term hardship. Here are some specific reasons why you should consider working with a knowledgeable Realtor:

1. It’s FREE – That’s right. You do not have to pay a dime. In Arizona, the builder / seller has to pay all commissions.
2. MLS Access – We have MLS access which we use to help provide the “real time” relative value of the builders proposed price. Are you over paying? (ZILLOW IS NOT ACCURATE)
3. Options Expertise – It is easy to get caught up in all of the excitement of building your home and selecting options. More often than not, buyers over improve their home and never recover. While to some this may not seem like a big deal, it can be financially devastating. I can help educate you on which options to splurge on.
4. Financing Education – Are you getting the best rate? I work directly with multiple lenders to help my buyers secure the best rate possible. While most builders offer an incentive to use their financing company, it may not be worth it in the long haul. I can help you identify the break-even point of incentives to insure you are getting the best rate and incentive package available.
5. Contract Review – The contract can be confusing. It gets worse when builders add in all of their additional materials like waivers and addendum's. This is a legal contract so it is important to have an experienced real estate professional on your side educating you throughout the process.
6. Negotiations – The sales office personnel do not make final decisions and they ONLY work in the builder's best interest. However, there are specific ways to go about this process to get more for your money. It is important to have an experienced real estate professional to negotiate on your behalf.
7. Inspections – You can have a new home inspection done before you move in to your home. This would help you avoid any potentially dangerous or expensive situations that might have been over looked. I can recommend a quality home inspector.
8. Discounts – Ask about my Builder Program
9. Must Sell to Buy – In today’s market many are taking advantage of the low interest rates and looking to either up-size / downsize via a new home purchase. Unless you plan on selling first and staying with family and/or a short term lease, you have to enter the world of contingencies. While most builders do not accept contingencies involving the sale of a home, they can be negotiated and yet you could still lose your earnest deposit.Not only will I help you sell your home at a discounted fee, but I will help negotiate a scenario and time table that is realistic.
10. Property Management Options – We are one of the only brokerages in Arizona to provide a true full service experience. Often times, new home buyers need to sell their home before they can buy. Unfortunately, sometimes the time tables do not always line up (selling your home in time to close on the new build). Signature offers a truly world class suite of property management options that will help you sell or rent your current home. In the event that you need to rent your home, we can also manage the property at a discounted rate so all you have to do is sit back and collect the checks
