City of Temple

If you’re in the market for a new home, you probably like many people do: go around the builder’s manufacturer, to speak with many different sales offices in each of the sales offices. I know. I’ve done that, bought the T-shirt and it’s not fun. But did you know that the strategy will cost money?

You are really missing some golden opportunities in the negotiation process, if you “go it alone” approach and hit the sidewalk. Of course, you get the tank a few times and frustrating to hear all the different sales pitches for each manufacturer to fill, but you can live with it. This is the money you want to save, is not it?

The problem is that buying direct from the manufacturer without an agent represent you means that you do not have a lawyer on your side who knows the market and you may get better rates and terms. If the trade representative assigned to you, if you use to arrive at the sales office on site, they do not act as an agent, but as a representative of the manufacturer. It is the builder, you can not represent.

Use an agent of a buyer buy a new home

On the other hand, there is a huge advantage to using a buyer agent to help you buy a new home. Not just any agent of the buyer is obviously important, an agent who specializes in the use of a new home and knows the local builders. Your knowledge is the agent of many manufacturers in your area you run the advantage to the buyer through the model home sales office or on the road.

The reason it is so beneficial, a representative of the buyer is having on the page that builders are in competition for your business. If you do not know the offers are on the street or across town, you know not to raise this issue in your negotiations. Besides, who really loves the negotiations at all? An agent who specializes in new homes and familiar with these manufacturers will be aware of the incentives offer buyers and can help negotiate for you.

In addition, if you have a buyer agent, they have a legal fiduciary to argue on your behalf. A contract with a buyer agent, specializing in the sale of new homes will ensure that you make to better advocacy at the negotiating table and the potential for a sweetheart deal that only one agent who brings the volume of business could get manufacturers.
