| A fact generally not known to the public is that the majority of new home builders co-operate with real
estate salespeople, some even put their products on the resale market through the MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE®.
Buyers sometimes think that they can negotiate a better deal with a builder without the presence of a
REALTOR®. However, the fees or commissions of a REALTOR® are built into a builders marketing budget, so this amount is not added onto the price of the
house. A buyer receives the same price whether the home is sold directly by the builder’s sale staff or in conjunction with a cooperating Broker/Sales
person.
New Home builders regularly keep REALTORS® informed about standing inventory, new prices, special incentives
or bonuses, new housing products, and new developments. They want REALTORS® to introduce buyers to their products by simply registering our prospective
buyers at their building sites and encourage us to be present at the time the Agreement of Purchase & Sale is signed.
Work with a REALTOR®, taking advantage of our knowledge and expertise will save you money. REALTORS® know
which builders have a reputation for delivering a good product, we know which builders provide excellence in "after purchase’ service.
We can advise you of terms and conditions that should be in your offer to purchase so you are protected. We
can tell you what to look for if considering a purchase of a model or standing inventory home. We can offer suggestions regarding extras or improvements
that would be beneficial for you to do or save you money by having the builder complete.
You will find no better source of information than a professional REALTOR® who will be able to direct and
introduce you to the best buys and better locations.
REALTORS® have seen how well the new home of today stands up over time in the resale market. A REALTOR® can
help you make a wise buying decision, make recommendations or suggestions regarding your purchase that may save you money. For you own peace of mind
work with a REALTOR® when considering a new home purchase.
