Why Use a Realtor to Purchase New Construction?

The real question that a home buyer should ask is: Why would I not use a Realtor when buying a home from a builder? And the answer is: There is NOT a single answer why a home buyer should not use a Realtor when purchasing a new construction property!

• A common myth that many home buyers have is that a builder will discount the price of a home if they don't have a Realtor.
• In most cases, the real estate agent is paid through the seller's fees. With regards to new construction, the builder has already anticipated this cost.
• If a buyer goes to a builder without the guidance and assistance of a Realtor, they are paying for realty services without reaping the benefits. Why would a home buyer put themselves at such a disadvantage? And although most buyers think that hiring a Realtor will cost them money, for a home buyer, these services are free if you use a Realtor at Ben Lang Properties.
• Many home buyers believe that buying directly from the builder will be hassle-free.
• There will be many things to consider when purchasing a new construction. As a home buyer walks into a model home everything may seem straight-forward. However, getting a new home built most often will not be as clear.

Home buyers will benefit from Realtor services...

to decipher through builder's jargon, contract language, and even help show the buyer how their option choices can add value to their home.

• Home buyers believe that Realtor services will not help them in purchasing a new home.
• The builder has to develop every parcel of land it owns in order to make a return on its investment. This may mean trying to sell a home buyer a lot that may not be suitable for their needs or one that's difficult to resell.
• A Realtor walks the lot with the buyer, goes through the house, and can recommend ideas to the home buyer that can help in making the decision on which lot and which house will be the best for their needs.
• A Realtor is the best sounding board a home buyer can have while going through the home-building process.

The Realtors at Ben Lang Properties are trained and specialize in helping a buyer through the entire home building process.

• Another common myth buyers tend to have is that the sales agent at the model home works for the home buyer.
• Although they may be warm and friendly, the sales agent home buyers meet when touring a model home works for the builder, not the home buyer!
• Their interest is in getting the most profit on the houses they sell.
• Buyers need to have a Realtor who they know is working for them.

A home buyer's Realtor will have their interests at heart when helping them make decisions on their new home purchase. It is always the Realtor's priority to protect their buyers!

• Many home buyers believe they can do it themselves. They don't need assistance from a Realtor.
• Real estate transactions involve one of the biggest financial investments most people experience in their lifetime. Transactions today usually exceed $100,000. If you had a $100,000 income tax problem, would you attempt to deal with it without the help of a CPA? If you had a $100,000 legal question, would you deal with it without the help of an attorney? Considering the large downside risk, it would be foolish to consider a deal in real estate without the professional assistance of a Realtor.

Bottom line, when a home buyer has someone like the Realtor Brokers at Ben Lang Properties on their side, purchasing a new home will be a better experience than going through the process alone. Home buyers can be sure their new home buying experience is a pleasant one. Buyers can sit back and enjoy their new home without worrying about whether they got the best value.
