Buy a New Construction Home Using These 14 Tips from a Top Agent
Buying a new construction home can be intimidating. While the builder will have options to choose from, you’ll still have a lot to decide on; you’ll need to choose a floor plan, decide on upgrades, find financing, and make decisions that you may not have expected to have to make. If all of that seems too overwhelming, you can opt to buy a new construction home that’s already built and ready for you to move into.
We did the research and spoke with Daniel Del Real, a top real estate agent in Modesto, California, to provide you with all the tips for buying a new construction home.
1. Find a buyer’s agent who works with new construction
As with any real estate transaction, finding an agent who specializes in the type of home you’re looking for is key to success. When you begin your search for an agent, focus on those who routinely work with new construction homes.
Even though you may have the option to buy a new construction home directly from the builder without the help of an agent, it’s important to consider the benefits that you’ll receive when you work with a buyer’s agent. Some of these include:
- The agent can help you decide on a development that will meet your needs and give you insights to benefits, drawbacks, amenities, and HOA requirements.
- They may have established relationships with builders in the area and can help you negotiate with the builder to ensure you’re getting what you want.
- They are a third party with no emotional connection to the process, so they can help you make decisions more objectively.
- They can help you manage the timeline, choosing upgrades, inspections, and closing.
