Many buyers want only a new home. A home they can design and
pick carpet colors, kitchen and bath cabinets, and choose the perfect home site. It
can be very exciting. But it can be very expensive and traumatic! Do you
think you do not need a Realtor to help you through the maze of buying a new home?
Do you think the nice sales person in the builders' model is there working
just for you? THE SALES PERSON WORKS
FOR THE BUILDER! .... NOT THE BUYER!
Think about this.......
A buyer buys one home from a
builder. A Realtor helps many buyers buy a new home. If you run into a
problem with the builder, will the builder "bend over backwards" to satisfy you
and correct his mistakes? Probably not. After all, you are buying only one
home. But if the buyer has a Realtor for an advocate, a Realtor that has sold
several of the builders homes, the builder will not upset the Realtor's client for fear
the Realtor will not bring more buyers.
Realtors know which builders are good and
stand by their product. Realtors know which builders have bad reputations for shoddy
work, not delivering the home on a timely basis, and which are financially unstable.
An experienced Realtor knows the "soft spots" to negotiate for a better price
and which options can be negotiated for free. And what about financing? Does
the builder insist you use HIS mortgage company? Is the builder getting a
"kick-back" from the mortgage company? Will the mortgage company give you
a good faith estimate in writing and stand by it at time of closing?
Unfortunately, Florida has a lot of
builders that are not out to please you, the buyer. Many of these builders come from
out of the state and are here for the "quick money" in our growing
economy. They are here today ---- gone tomorrow.
BUYER BEWARE!
YOU DEFINITELY NEED A REALTOR!
